Like : Everything

Dislike : Neowin is ceasing to be a community. They're lotsa flame wars and fanboys who just can't seem to get along. And alotta posters try to show superiority (over the internet, really?) over ignorant people. But that's about it. Personally I think Neowin should live by the "Got nothing nice to say? Then don't say anything" motto, it will make Neowin alot nicer.

Great Discussion

Don't really have any dislikes seeing as I don't use RWI that much so dont get involved in heated discussions.

We may not have Kool and the Gang from RWI, but we have JediXAngel down in the Media Room.

Likes: Recent Activity at the top of forum, helpful and meaningful replies and members.

Dislikes: Community is a a lot harsher here. Ignorance will get quoted multiple times over and beaten to death by certain members in a condescending manner. They seem to get a high off of that.

Neowin also has a bad case of questioning questions rather than answering them. Not just honest questions, but questions meant to extract ignorance from the OP or just so they could reply how their way is superior, although really many of these questions come down to personal preference. The Superbar/Quicklaunch comes to mind.

Good articles

Friendly atmosphere overall

Despite being a small country, there seem to be a lot of people here from the UK

Don't like:

Heavy fisted moderators, order needs to be maintained but in some areas it goes to far.

Massive range of knowledge and experience from other members, the willing of members to help with problems. I can't think of any better support network out there.

News stories are always pretty quick and up to date, faster than many sites.

Community driven design, i.e. the owners / mods take on board feedback

Dislike

As others have mentioned fanboy's on any side, it doesn't do neowin or the members any good.

Any other site and the fanboy crap would have made me given up, however the pro's are compelling enough for me to keep returning.

Likes: nearly everything. There is a wide range of interesting topics here and I've found the moderators to be fair and even handed for the most part.

Dislikes: the fanboys. At times constructive debates get lost in the fanboyism here.

Likes: The site. I mean the way it's made, the way it looks and works, the effort put into it, the community (for the most part).

Dislikes: Fanboys. And I might be alone here, but I almost never go to Neowin for news, even though I check the main site from time to time. Because lately they seem dumbed down, or mainstream, if you catch my drift. The way articles are written, and what's talked about, the attitude and the format, it's pointed a lot to the 'Average Joe' (Christ, I hate that term). Tech news should not suffer from those things, they should be technical if needed, and should not hype some totally irrelevant things. That's just how I feel, I hope I haven't offended anyone.

      I'm too old to return to the "good old days" when I was installing custom ROMs and tinkering with my devices - now I just want to turn it on and use it. I've read that banking and payment apps work on Murena /e/OS (I'll have to check the ones I use) and I also really want to support Fairphone 😉

    • NVIDIA announces 35 new AI HPC supercomputers across Europe

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      NVIDIA announces 35 new AI HPC supercomputers across Europe by Fiza Ali NVIDIA has announced that 35 AI high-performance computing (HPC) supercomputers are planned to open throughout Europe this year. This marks what the company describes as the largest single-year expansion of AI infrastructure in the history of the continent. These new systems, unveiled at ISC High Performance 2026, will be placed at a number of national supercomputing centres, AI factories, and research institutes to provide advanced computing resources to more than three million researchers. Describing AI, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang stated, "AI is the new instrument of science, and Europe is building the infrastructure to put it in the hands of millions of researchers." Built on NVIDIA's Blackwell and Hopper architectures, the new systems will support research in climate science, healthcare, clean energy, quantum computing, and other scientific fields. Among the major projects are the Barcelona Supercomputing Center's MareNostrum 5 AI upgrade, BavariaAI's Blue Swan platform in Germany, Italy's IT4LIA AI factory, Germany's HammerHAI project, and Sweden's Mimer AI Factory. The Barcelona Supercomputing Center plans to expand MareNostrum 5 with NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 and GB200 NVL4 systems. In total, the BSC expects to deliver up to 20 exaflops of AI training performance and 33 exaflops of AI inference performance. This increased computational capability will support research efforts related to climate modelling, biotechnology, energy systems, etc. Furthermore, as part of the IT4LIA project, more than 8,000 GPUs, each based on NVIDIA’s GB200 NVL4 architecture, will be used in Italy. This represents one of the largest AI factory initiatives announced to date. Additionally, the Blue Swan platform from BavariaAI will include about 1,000 GPUs to help develop multimodal AI models for use in the medical field, robotics, and various areas of scientific research. NVIDIA also emphasized in the announcement how rapidly growth of accelerated computing usage is taking place within both energy and climate-related research. The company said Siemens Energy uses NVIDIA-powered technologies to significantly accelerate the process of designing and simulating hydrogen-capable gas turbines. Using those same acceleration technologies, Siemens was able to reduce simulation time by up to 77 percent. The company also highlighted several quantum computing initiatives across Europe. CINECA, EuroHPC, and Pasqal are integrating a quantum processing unit into Italy's CINECA supercomputing centre using NVIDIA's CUDA-Q platform. Meanwhile, researchers at Germany's Julich Supercomputing Centre recently simulated a universal 50-qubit quantum computer on the JUPITER supercomputer. The announcement demonstrates Europe's continued commitment to building out its infrastructure supporting AI and supercomputing as governments, research organizations, and technology companies compete to build out their respective computing capacities and secure their positions in advanced scientific research.
