The new USB Type-C connector has become de rigueur among new technology products, showing up on everything from smartphones to notebooks. The new port offers a number of advantages over the older micro USB slot, including directionless plugin, increased data rates, and the ability to carry power to charge external devices.

Another feature of the new connector is the ability to carry audio and video signals along with data, allowing one cable to provide both input to a display and power out to a connected notebook or mobile device. Accordingly, display maker Eizo has jumped on the bandwagon according to a press release issued on Tuesday, offering the 27-inch FlexScan EV2780 monitor with USB Type-C connector.

The EV2780 is a large bezel-less display with a 1mm-thick frame and a fully flat surface and comes in black and white with matching cables. Picture-by-picture functionality and a number of ergonomic and energy-saving enhancements are also on board. The LED-backlit IPS panel offers up 178-degree viewing angles and WQHD resolution (2560 by 1440 pixels).

The monitor offers three USB Type-C ports. One of the connectors can serve as an input, as a connection to power external devices, or both depending on the device. The other two USBM Type-C connectors are available in an integrated USB hub. The EV2780 also offers DisplayPort and HDMI ports for additional input support.

Eizo’s Auto EcoView sensor automatically adjusts the screen’s brightness to match ambient lighting as well as apply circadian-dimming capabilities. If a user has more than one EV2780 in a multi-monitor setup, then all of them can be adjusted in a single step. A Screen InStyle server app is available that allows administrators to adjust monitors across an enterprise.

The EV2780 includes dual 1W speakers and a headphone jack for audio support. The ergonomic stand offers 155mm of height adjustment, up to 40 degrees of tilt, and 344-degree swivel. The monitor can also be pivoted a full 90 degrees for portrait-mode support.

Eizo has not yet announced availability for the EV2780, which will vary by country. Contact Eizo for pricing and availability in your region. The monitors will come with a five-year warranty and six-month bright pixel guarantee to provide buyers with some confidence.

AMD Ryzen AI claimed to offer ‘up to 75% faster gaming’ than Intel

AMD has just unveiled some internal benchmarks of its Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor. Although it's been a few months since the release of the Ryzen AI 300 series, AMD now compares its CPU to Intel's Lunar Lake, and the benchmarks are highly favorable for AMD's best processor for thin-and-light laptops. Let's check them out.

For starters, AMD compared the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 to the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V. The AMD CPU comes with 12 cores (four Zen 5 and eight Zen 5c cores) and 24 threads, as well as 36MB of combined cache. The maximum clock speed tops out at 5.1GHz, and the CPU offers a configurable thermal design power (TDP) ranging from 15 watts to 54W. Meanwhile, the Intel chip sports eight cores (four performance cores and four efficiency cores), eight threads, a max frequency of 4.8GHz, 12MB of cache, and a TDP ranging from 17W to 37W. Both come with a neural processing unit (NPU), and AMD scores a win here too, as its NPU provides 50 trillion operations per second (TOPS), while Intel's sits at 47 TOPS. It's a small difference, though.
