MSI Charged A Customer For A Bent-Pin Repair, Then Returned The Motherboard With Another Pin Still Bent; Apologizes Later

15 July 2026 at 15:34

A close-up of a CPU socket with bent pins is overlaid with the text 'MSI apologizes for bent pins!' and the MSI logo in the corner.

In a rare incident, a user found himself with the same problem as before, even though MSI was supposed to get the motherboard repaired properly. User Sends His Motherboard With Bent Pin for Repair; MSI's Service Partner, ASK, Sent It Back With Another Pin Bent Not everyone has the same luck when it comes to repairs, especially RMA under warranty. We have seen multiple times how vendors fail to provide proper repairs and replacement for products that are sent for the RMA service under their warranty periods. Similarly, a user expected MSI to repair his damaged motherboard, which was under […]

AMD’s β€œPEPS” Research Pushes Neural Texture Compression Further, Cutting Model Parameters By 25% At Comparable Quality

11 July 2026 at 12:05

The image features the AMD logo with the text 'FSR | Neural Texture Block Compression' alongside a futuristic aircraft design and diagrams labeled 'Multi-resolution feature grids.'

AMD presented new research at the I3D Symposium titled "PEPS: Positional Encoding Projected Sampling", introducing a new method for positional encoding that can improve neural texture compression. How Does Neural Texture Compression Work? Neural Texture Compression works by training what are known as INRs, or β€œImplicit Neural Representations,” to learn coordinate-to-signal functions. By projecting texture coordinates into a higher-dimensional embedding and feeding this information to a multi-layer perceptron, it's possible to represent and compress textures significantly. PEPS: Positional Encoding Projected Sampling PEPS introduces a new method to improve the efficiency of this process by changing how positional encoding is used. […]
