G-Power’s 808 HP BMW M8 Gran Coupe Packs Some Serious Firepower - CarScoops

BMW M8 Gran Coupe owners looking for a power upgrade to mix it with supercars in a straight line can now turn to G-Power, who has released a special tuning upgrade.

With the Stage 3 upgrade, the 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8's output and torque rise from the standard 616 HP (625 PS / 460 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) in the M8 Competition to a jaw-dropping 808 HP (820 PS / 603 kW) and 738 lb-ft (1,000 Nm).

Review: 2020 BMW M8 Competition Could Very Well Be The Best M Car On Sale

The tuner's online configurator tool reveals a €4,595 (equal to $5,585) price for the GP-820 performance software, €5,950 ($7,232) for the turbocharger upgrade, €5,360 ($6,515) for the sport downpipes and €5,950 ($7,232) for the GP-Deeptone exhaust system with four carbon fiber tailpipes. Removing the V-max limiter, which allows the car to hit 205 mph (330 km/h), up from the standard top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h) or 190 mph (305 km/h) with the M Driver's Pack, costs another €495 ($602).

Stage 2 unleashes 759 HP (770 PS / 566 kW) and 686 lb-ft (930 Nm) and Stage 1 brings 710 HP (720 PS / 530 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) to the party. There's no saying how quick the tuned M8 Gran Coupe is to 62 mph (100 km/h) with either of these, but the stock M8 Competition needs only 3.2 seconds.

Other upgrades for the M8 Gran Coupe include a sound optimization software for the exhaust system (€245 / $298), custom carbon fiber bonnet (€5,950 / $7,232), dynamic carbon wing (€3,332 / $4,050), 21-inch RR or RS forged wheels (price upon request), engine cover (€1,785 / $2,170) and sports steering wheel (price upon request).

ZLUDA v2 Released For Drop-In CUDA On Intel Graphics - Phoronix

Image
One of many interesting and original open-source projects to be started in 2020 was ZLUDA, an open-spurce drop-in CUDA implementation for Intel graphics. ZLUDA - developed independent of Intel and NVIDIA - is built atop Intel's oneAPI Level Zero interface (hence the name, ZLUDA) and allows for unmodified CUDA applications to run on Intel UHD/Xe Graphics hardware with near-native performance. Well, that's the goal at least but with the initial ZLUDA release were a number of support limitations. Out today is ZLUDA Version 2 that has been focused on ensuring it works well with the Geekbench CUDA test cases as an interesting stressor for CUDA on Intel graphics. Additionally, the Microsoft Windows support for ZLUDA has been improved while continuing to provide first-rate Linux support. ZLUDA Version 2 implements more host-side functions, a number of bugs have been fixed, I/O performance improvements, support for creating traces of CUDA kernel executions, and other enhancements for...

Google chrome crashed and now laptop is running very slowly. Malware? - Virus, Trojan, Spyware, and Malware Removal Help - BleepingComputer

Image
Hello, My Huawei laptop is not very old and has been working perfectly until yesterday. Google Chrome crashed and now it takes longer to start up, and neither chrome or Microsoft edge work properly (very slow and keep buffering). My avast anti virus has not found anything when I scanned, but I can't think what else the problem can be. I tried some of the steps in the post about a slow computer not being a malware problem but nothing changed, and since I don't have very much installed on my laptop I don't think it can be a problem with memory. Any help in fixing this would be very much appreciated. I have attached my log here; Rachel Scan result of Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST) (x64) Version: 15-04-2022 Ran by Rachel (administrator) on LAPTOP-AJP0U36V (HUAWEI BOHB-WAX9) (17-04-2022 16:11:18) Running from C:\Users\Rachel\Downloads Loaded Profiles: Rachel Platform: Microsoft Windows 10 Home Single Language Version 21H2 19044.1645 (X64) Language: ...
