The loading time of a website determines how well it can attract more visitors. A slow website can drastically increase the motivation of users to leave the site. More than 50% of users expect websites to load within three seconds, stated in some surveys. There is a particular website (Dev.to) lately caught by the Internet, because of its impressive loading speed.
. . . Dev.to is a website created in 2016, which is an online community for programmers in the world. Everyone can share their ideas, as well as helping others.
However, Dev.to is no ordinary website at all. Once you press enter after typing the URL, the whole webpage instantaneously shows up in less than one second. More surprisingly, not only the homepage that is fast, but also every webpage, internal link and photo will be loaded in a split second. Testing the website on Pingdom, it only took 174 ms to complete, which is more than ten times quicker than the average two to three seconds load time. According to the founder, Ben Halpern, they put a lot of effort in making the Dev.to website load up faster. There are mainly two directions to work on, caching and reduction of render-blocking styles/scripts. They use Content Delivery Network (CDN) to deliver the website’s content to your devices. In short, CDN is a network of servers located in different cities/countries. Instead of relying on the long connection to the host server, you will be connected to the nearest server depends on your location for the best and fastest performance. Moreover, they limit the number of JavaScript and CSS running on the website. The site does not contain any jQuery or any JavaScript frameworks. Only small amount of appropriate JavaScript files will be called, whenever necessary. You can check out why Dev.to can load this fast from two of their articles (1st and 2nd).

It is quite common and popular for some of the electronics manufacturers to release a retro product, especially in the camera industry. The older 50s/60s design attract people to not only use the camera, but also to keep it as a precious collection. Recently, Canon finally decided to sell one of its retro rangefinder camera…as a expensive USB flash drive.
Save important photos and documents easily – and in style – with our camera-inspired USB device.
According to Canon, the drive is to honor the Canon IV SB rangefinder camera, originally introduced in 1952. It was the first 35 mm camera with electronic flash synchronization, and can support Leica lenses. It was a huge success for Canon, which about 35,000 of them are made. The replica USB flash drive measures at approximately 2.8 inches x 1.4 inches x 1.4 inches, with a storage size of only 8GB. It is made of both plastic and metal. You can slide out the USB connector at the bottom. Although the drive looks pretty cool, it costs $79.99 USD (MSRP). You will not be able to justify the price with its storage space and performance, unless you are a big fan of the original Canon IV SB rangefinder camera. There are tons of options for a cheap 8GB USB flash drive, as low as a few dollars. Feel free to leave comments below, if you have any opinion about this website.

On 14 November, a new version of the Mozilla Firefox web browser (version 57.0), called Quantum, was finally released to the public. Mozilla had been teasing this revamped browser since September, stating major performance improvements and tweaked user interface. Mozilla claimed that the new browser can have up to 2 times faster than older version was. But, is the Firefox 57 Quantum the fastest browser in the industry?
New Changes and Features
In Firefox 57 Quantum, the overall appearance of the user interface is completely reworked. The Photon UI becomes more modern and flat, following current trend of simpler designs in most of the mainstream operating systems. All the corners are more boxy and square, instead of rounded edges. Animations in the browser feel extremely smooth and responsive. A new start page provides users “Top Sites”, as well as “Highlights” recommended by Pocket.
The main reason for the aforementioned speed boost is because of the new Firefox browser is powered by a reinvented engine. It can now take advantages of more than one CPU core to run the required processes at the same time. This should allow the browser to operate more efficiently and quickly using the existing hardware (multi-core processor).
Review
Testing Methodology
To test out how the Firefox 57 Quantum browser perform, multiples web browser benchmarks, as well as websites loading speed, are used and measured. The results are compared among the other two common web browsers in their latest version (Google Chrome (62.0) and Microsoft Edge (41)), and the previous version of Firefox (v. 56.0.2).
SunSpider, JetStream and ARES-6 are the go-to benchmarks to test how well web browsers handle JavaScript, which contains a variety of workloads. Speedometer 1.0/2.0 tests the responsiveness the browsers run web applications, while MotionMark measures their graphics capabilities.
In SunSpider, Edge left a really big margin between itself and the other three browsers, at only 73.8 ms. Firefox 57 Quantum did improve slightly from its older Firefox 56.0.2 by about 6.8%, while Chrome took 231.6 ms to complete.
Interestingly, Chrome came out at the top in ARES-6 at 26.45 ms. Edge and Firefox were neck and neck, while Firefox 57 leading by a couple milliseconds.
Edge lead again in JetStream at 256.42. Others were getting very close marks, with Firefox 57 having a slight edge at 203.75. This is the same story in Speedometer 1.0, with Edge at top (114) and Firefox 57 (104) in second. However, in Speedometer 2.0, Firefox 57 scored 69.3, outperforming every other browsers (Chrome by 61.9% and Edge by 20%). Although Firefox 57 did better than Firefox 56.0.2 in MotionMark, it lost by 33.5% and 61.2% to Edge and Chrome respectively.
Firefox 57 had the most consistent performance in loading websites, averaging around 2.7 seconds per website. It competed the test in a total time of only 16.63 seconds, about 10% better than the next fastest time by the Edge at 18.47 seconds. Firefox 56.0.2 finished in 18.5 seconds, and Chrome in 18.67 seconds.
Firefox 57 and 56.0.2 both have similar RAM usage at around 750 MB. Firefox 57 use about 7% less RAM than the famous memory-hungry Chrome. But Edge is in fact using the most RAM at 941 MB.
Conclusion
Overall, the new Firefox 57 Quantum is a major leap forward from its previous versions in both looks and performance. The change in the user interface alone is enough for me to immediately upgrade the browser. Firefox 57 almost outperforms the old version in every area, and is able to compete with other common web browsers in the market. It feels quick and responsive in most of the time. It may not be the fastest browser for now, but it is definitely one of the best you can get today.
Download Firefox 57 Quantum from Mozilla if you want to have a try.

The Google Pixel 2 XL may be one of the most debated smartphones in 2017. There are tons of news and comments about the phone, from the pOLED display to the coated aluminium metal body. Its high price tag (MSRP: $849 USD) seems to attract more attention from everyone than its predecessors. Let’s take a look at the Google Pixel 2 XL’s packaging first.
Specifications
The Google Pixel 2 XL ticks almost all the boxes for a late 2017 flagship device in terms of specifications. It is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC, with the Adreno 540 GPU. Paired with the 835 are 4 GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 64/128 GB of UFS 2.1 internal storage, running on the latest Android 8.0 Oreo. However, it does not have a 3.5 mm headphone jack and its 3520 mAh battery is not removable.
Unboxing
Inside the shipping package, a green Google Project Fi leaflet comes alongside the Pixel 2 XL box. It contains instructions to set up the internal e-SIM if you are using a Project Fi data plan.
The Pixel 2 XL’s box is unexpectedly simple. You will not find any specifications or features. At the front, you get the Google Logo and the “Pixel 2 XL” name, as well as a partial photo of the phone. Nothing is printed on the back, except for the #teampixel hashtag. On one side of the box, it tells you that Google Assistant is built-in with Google Lens, while a side view of the Pixel 2 XL is shown on the other side.
Lifting up the lid, the Pixel 2 XL is sitting right at the middle, wrapped in protective plastic film. All of the accessories are located underneath the phone tray.
Of course, there are the quick start guide and the warranty/regulatory information in different languages. A SIM eject tool is included, in case you are not in any e-SIM compatible data plans.
The 18-watt power adapter is able to output power at 5.0 V and 3.0 A (15 watts) or 9.0 V and 2.0 A (18 watts), with USB Power Delivery support. The Pixel 2 XL, iPhone 8 and iPhone X are both using USB-PD for fast-charging. A one-meter USB-C to USB-C cable, a USB-C to 3.5 mm headphone adapter and an OTG adapter can also be found in the box.
Google Pixel 2 XL
A brief description of the Google Assistant is printed on the plastic film. The Pixel 2 XL boots up really quickly even for the first time, probably the fastest boot-up I have ever experienced.
The 12.2 mega-pixel rear camera is accompanied with a dual-LED flash. It uses both laser and dual pixel phase detection for fast and accurate autofocus. The camera is equipped with optical image stabilization (OIS) and electronic image stabilization (EIS) at the same time to minimize effects of shaking. It is rated as the best smartphone camera by DxOMarkat a record-breaking 98 marks.
The Pixel 2 XL also features a dual front-facing stereo speakers that can get reasonably loud without much distortion.
The power/sleep button is on the same side with the volume button.
First Impression
After using the Pixel 2 XL for a couple days, I really enjoy using the phone. Android 8.0 Oreo operates extremely snappy and no noticeable lags on all those flagship hardware. The camera takes beautiful photos and HDR processing is quick, but the stock camera app lacks any manual control options.
The highly discussed pOLED display do shows slightly muted colors out of the box, but Google already released a software update that added saturated mode. The blue color shift for the display is only observable in off-angle (about 10 degrees or more) and on a light background. You will not be able to see it, unless you deliberately look for it.
Overall, the Pixel 2 XL does most of the thing right. And we will be testing the phone more thoroughly before coming into any conclusion.

In recent years, graphics card manufacturers focus largely in increasing the memory bandwidth, especially when AMD launched their R9 Fury X and Nano series cards with the High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) in 2015. Samsung announced that 36 of its products winning the CES 2018 Innovation Awards, which the GDDR6 memory is included.
Samsung:
The fastest and lowest-power DRAM for next generation, graphics-intensive applications.
GDDR6 memory will be the successor of the mainstream graphics card memory, GDDR5. According to Samsung, GDDR6 memory can handle images and videos at a speed of 16 Gbps with 64GB/s data I/O bandwidth. This is equal to about 5 GB per second transfer rate.
For comparison, Nvidia pushed the GTX 1060‘s standard GDDR5 memory to run at 9 Gbps, which has a total bandwidth of 216 GB/s on a 192-bit memory bus. With the newer GDDR5X, the GTX 1080 Ti and Titan Xp are able to reach speed over 11 Gbps, with bandwidth at 484 GB/s (352-bit memory bus) and 547 GB/s (384-bit memory bus) respectively.
GDDR6 memory will surpass its predecessor by quite a large margin. GDDR6 on a 192-bit memory bus will have bandwidth of 384 GB/s, 256-bit bus at 512 GB/s and 352-bit bus at a whooping 704 GB/s. This will even outperform AMD’s current flagship RX Vega 64 HBM2 memory at 484 GB/s (1.9 Gbps on 2048-bit bus).
Not only the insane amount of bandwidth, GDDR6 is expected to be more efficient to operate. Instead of taking 1.5 V at 8 Gbps (GDDR5), it will use only 1.35 V at 16 Gbps.
GDDR6 memory should be available in graphics cards in the next year, may be featured in NVIDIA next generation Volta-based GPUs.

Sufficiently cool the computer’s CPU is the number one task for every PC builder in the world, whether you have a low-power or unlocked/overclocked processor. A high performance CPU cooler is the key to stable operation and longevity of the component. The reputable Noctua NH-D15S is considered to be one of the best cooler in the industry. But how will it perform in our tests?
The NH-D15S is a slightly modified version of the NH-D15 cooler with increased compatibility. Its dimensions are at 160 mm (height) x 150 mm (width) x 135 mm (depth) with the included fan.
Unboxing
The design of the packaging for the NH-D15S cooler is like other products from Noctua, mainly composed with white and brown color on a hard cardboard box. You can see few of the main selling features of the cooler printed on the front, as well as the full specifications of the cooler, fan and accessories.
You can also find brief descriptions for some of the technologies/features used in the NH-D15S cooler, such as the RAM compatibility and SecuFirm 2 mounting system, in different languages.
The cooler is packed securely inside the box, surrounded by thick soft closed-cell foam.
The heatsink/fan and accessories are separated into two boxes.
You will get the SecuFirm 2 mounting system and the required screws/spacers, that is compatible with both Intel and AMD’s common sockets. A screwdriver and the great NT-H1 thermal compound are also included. You will need the NH-AM4 mounting kit if you are using the cooler on newer AMD Ryzen system. Installation instructions for each sockets are clearly written on separate manuals.
An extra set of fan clips is found in the box, allowing users to install one more additional fan. You can lower the fan speed using the included low-noise adapter. In addition, you get a Noctua case badge in the package to “decorate” your PC case.
Review
The NH-D15S is a dual tower cooler, which has two large aluminium cooling fin-stack. Both of the towers have a cutout at the bottom to increase RAM clearance/compatibility. You can install one or two standard 120 mm or round 140 mm cooling fans, depending on your needs.
There are a total of six 6 mm heatpipes running across both the baseplate and the cooling fins, which are all nickel-plated. The baseplate is slightly shifted to one side (asymmetrical design) to avoid touching any motherboard components, as well as the upper PCIe slots.
The CPU contact base is polished into a smooth mirror-like finish. A rough surface may affect heat conduction between the cooler and processor.
A high-quality standard NF-A15 PWM fan (140 mm) is bundled with the cooler. Its maximum RPM is at about 1500 RPM, able to move a large amount of air through the heatsink.
Testing Methodology
To find out how the cooler performs, the benchmarks are done using AIDA64 to run a CPU stress test. CPU, FPU and system cache are stressed during the test. Ambient temperature is around 25°C.
Results will be taken at a silent (~800 RPM) and full speed (~1500 RPM) fan profile, controlled via the motherboard CPU header. Both the temperature of the CPU package and the hottest core will be recorded at idle and full load with single and dual-fan setup.
The Noctua NH-D15S cooler performed outstandingly in both single/dual-fan configurations. At idle, the CPU package was kept at around 29°C to 31°C. The temperature increased to a maximum of 48°C with one fan at about 800 RPM. If turned up the fan to full speed at around 1500 RPM, the temperature dropped 5°C to 43°C (about 10.4% decrease). You can further reduce the temperature by adding an additional fan. CPU package temperature is at 45°C in silent mode, and at 41°C in full speed mode.
Temperatures are similar to the CPU package at idle. At load, the NH-D15S kept the temperatures under 60°C in all fan configurations. Like expected, the silent single fan allowed the CPU core to rise up to 59°C. The dual-fan silent setup performed even better than the single-fan full speed, at 53°C (about 3.8% improvement). Both fans running at full speed can keep the CPU core to 51°C.
Conclusion
Without a doubt, the NH-D15S cooler did extremely well in our testing, controlling the temperature at full CPU load. The hottest core only touched 59°C, while the whole CPU package under 50°C. According to Noctua, the cooler is capable of handling processor with TDP from 95W to 220W. You can easily keep your standard processor cool in normal use and at the same time still have large headroom for overclocking before reaching uncomfortable temperature.
The Noctua A15-PWM fan remains quiet at idle and non-synthetic test load (gaming), but slightly audible in full speed. With the flexibility of the asymmetrical design for the CPU block, you can fit the cooler in more PC cases and on more motherboards. Installation is quick and straightforward.
The NH-D15S cooler is priced the same as the NH-D15 with a 6-year warranty (MSRP: $89.99 USD), but is often on sale for cheaper. I think the cooler worth every penny, as it can match or even outperform more expensive high-end all-in-one water coolers, like the Corsair H100i v2. You will not be disappointed by this cooler if you are pursuing the best performing air cooler in the industry.
You can purchase the cooler from your local/online resellers or the links below from Amazon US.
Thanks Noctua for providing us the NH-D15S cooler for review. (Review Sample)

Have you ever thought about customizing the appearance of your CPU cooler’s heatsink? Some cooler manufacturers would paint their heatsinks before shipping to customers, but most of them are only available in black or white. That’s what the new Noctua Chromax heatsink covers (NA-HC) are able to offer you the options to pimp up your boring-looking CPU cooler.
The Chromax heatsink covers compatible with two series of Noctua’s own notable NH-U12S and NH-D15(S) series CPU coolers. There are three color options for the covers, for each series of coolers.
Unboxing
Again, the hard cardboard box for the Chromax heatsink cover is identical with other products in the Chromax product line (cables/fans). The name of the cover, “Chromax” branding and Noctua logo are printed on the mostly white box with little brown and black accent.
On the back of the box, a photo of the cover is showed with a QR code to the product’s webpage.
The model name of the cover and its compatible CPU coolers are clearly indicated at the side of the box.
The heatsink cover is securely fitted in the center of the box, with the swappable inlays in different colors right next to it. You will get three inlays for each cover, each side of the inlay has different colors (total of six colors).
No swappable inlays for other heatsink covers.
Inside the box, you will have a installation manual, three/six swappable inlays, and a bracket/fixture and one/two clip. The clip is to hold the fixture to the heatsink.
The bracket/fixture is the main component to secure the cover and the heatsink together. Once you put the fixture on the top of the heatsink, use the clip to prevent the fixture from sliding. Then, you can put the heatsink cover on top of the fixture. They will automatically attach by the magnet at the sides.
Review
There are three models of heatsink cover for the two series of CPU coolers. The covers without the swappable inlays have two colors. One of them is in a glossy white finish, while the other one is in matte black. The swappable heatsink cover is also in matte black, but with arrows cutout to show different colors.
There are rubber pads all over the corners of the heatsink covers. They help prevent direct contact and damage with the heatsink fins.
After you install the Chromax heatsink cover, you will see most of the heatsink’s sides and top are covered with that beautiful metal finish. Beware that the total height (6 mm) and width (3 mm) of the CPU cooler will increase by a couple millimeter.
Conclusion
Overall, the Chromax heatsink covers can obviously make your CPU cooler more personalized and customizable. The installation is both simple and fast, with the easy-to-read user manual. You can even pair it with the Chromax.black.swap fans to completely match the whole cooler to your PC build’s color scheme. The build quality of the heatsink covers is exceptional with a rigid aluminum construction and beautiful glossy/matte metal finish.
The heatsink covers compatible with the smaller NH-U12S series cooler cost slightly less than the bigger NH-D15(S) series compatible covers. Of course, you also get a 6-year warranty from Noctua.
You can purchase the heatsink covers from your local/online resellers or the links below from Amazon US.

As solid-state drive establish its position in the storage market, any PC builders would consider purchasing at least one SSD for their system, to speed up the operating system. An ordinary SATA SSD already outperforms a traditional hard drive by a couple times (~200 MB/s vs ~500 MB/s). However, that speed is only limiting by the old SATA III interface (6 Gbps) and AHCI standard. That’s why NVMe and PCIe come into place, which ZOTAC SONIX 480GB SSD is using.
ZOTAC: Prepare for the silent silver bullet – the ZOTAC SONIX PCI-e SSD.
Specifications
The SONIX SSD is launched back in 2016, using the NVMe version 1.2 standard. It is advertised to reach up to 2600 MB/s (read) and 1300 MB/s write, while rated for 2,000,000 hours MTBF for durability.
Unboxing
There is a paper sleeve covering the actual box of the SSD, with the common ZOTAC “black and yellow” color scheme. At the front shows both the model name and a picture of the drive, with the slogan “Ignite more possibilities”. The drive’s advertised performance is also printed on the sleeve.
More details about the specifications are mentioned on the back, while the content inside the package is also indicated.
Take off the sleeve, you will see a white cardboard box written with thank you message from ZOTAC, as well as providing the support website if anything happens to the SSD.
You will find the actual SONIX solid-state drive securely wrapped in a anti-static bag at the center, once you open the box.
You can find the usual quick start guide and warranty information in the package. But there is also a low-profile adapter bundled, if you are using smaller mini-ITX PC cases.
The whole SSD’s circuit board is covered by a matte grey aluminium hosing, with a tiny ZOTAC logo at the far right.
There is a metal back plate that is acting as a passive heatsink to provide additional cooling for the components underneath.
You will find a lot of ventilation holes throughout the external metal cover of the drive, including the PCIe bracket.
The PCIe Gen 3 x4 connector for the SONIX SSD, and its blue PCB.
Review
Testing Methodology
To test the performance of the solid-state drive, I uses three well-established storage benchmarking softwares. They are CrystalDiskMark, ATTO Disk Benchmark, as well as AS SSD Benchmark.
CrystalDiskMark can measure both sequential and random 4KB read/write speeds with a queue depth of 32. ATTO Disk Benchmark can test how the drive performs across different transfer block sizes, mostly in a sequential environment. AS SSD Benchmark can provide both normal read/write speed and the IOPS performance of the drive.
Performance
In CrystalDiskMark, the ZOTAC SONIX NVMe PCIe SSD is performing really well, although not as fast as its advertised speed. It reached nearly 1500 MB/s in sequential read speed, and about 1400 MB/s in sequential write. In random 4KB (Queue Depth 32), the SONIX SSD dropped down to 580 MB/s and 470 MB/s in read and write speed respectively. This is almost the full speed that a normal SATA SSD will achieve in sequential operations.
You will see a similar picture when using AS SSD Benchmark. The sequential read is at 1330 MB/s and write is at 1030 MB/s, slightly slower than in CrystalDiskMark. In 4KB random with a queue depth of 64 (64THRD), the read/write speed improved to about 700 to 800 MB/s. You will see a significant drop in perfromance in 4KB (Queue Depth 1). It is expected because the drive completed the transfer/read before it can reach full speed.
IOPS number represents how well a drive handles input and output operations. The SONIX SSD scored 2426 in AS SSD Benchmark’s IOPS test. It has over 207,000 and 185,000 IOPS in 4KB (Queue depth 64) read and write.
In ATTO Disk Benchmark, the SSD reached its ceiling when transferring file sizes larger than 64KB, reaching about 1500 MB/s in both read and write speed.
Conclusion
Yes, the ZOTAC SONIX PCIe solid-state drive is fast, averaging over 1000 MB/s read and write speed. However, the drive is about 1000 MB/s slower read speed than what ZOTAC advertised it (2600 MB/s). For some situations, CPU and RAM may be bottle-necking the SSD’s performance. But my CPU usage is at only 17%, while using 13% of RAM.The SSD is at 100%, running benchmarks. I am not sure if it is just this particular drive’s problem or driver issues or all SONIX drives are performing like this.
All things aside, the SONIX SSD has impressive read and write speed in both sequential and random operations. You will still get decent performance out of it, about 3 times faster than SATA solid-state drives, over 7 times quicker than SATA hard drives.
It is backed with a 3-year warranty. However, it is currently out of stock in many places. Maybe you will need to wait for a newer version of the ZOTAC SONIX PCIe SSD or a new model to available.
You can purchase the SSD from your local/online resellers or the links below from Amazon.
Thanks ZOTAC for providing us the SSD for review. (Review Sample)
