Game-changing Performance with the Nitro Intel Arc B-Series Graphics Cards

The Nitro Intel Arc B-Series Graphics Cards, featuring Xe2 architecture with up to 20 cores, are engineered to deliver exceptional gaming, versatile creation, and accessible AI experiences. The Nitro Intel Arc B570 OC 10 GB (AN-B570-OCD) graphics card reaches clock speeds of up to 2,690 MHz, while the Nitro Intel Arc B580 OC 12 GB (AN-B580-OCA) card boasts up to 2,740 MHz, supporting high FPS gaming at 1440p and up to 8K visuals.

Next-generation Intel Xe2 microarchitecture provides up to 50% better performance per core[1], enhancing gaming experiences with real-time lighting, shadows, and reflections thanks to built-in Direct X12 Ultimate support with ray tracing capabilities, mesh shaders, variable rate shading and sampler feedback. AI-generated frames powered by Intel Xe Frame Generation technology (XeFG), significantly increase FPS for added fluidity and performance. Intel Xe Low Latency technology (XeLL) reduces input lag between keyboard and mouse inputs for seamless gaming experiences.

Advanced Thermal Cooling and Reduced Noise with FrostBlade

Compact and durable, these Acer graphics cards are ideal for gamers starting their journey into high-performance gaming and seeking seamless experiences. The FrostBlade cooling system, with its textured blade design and dual-ball bearing system, improves airflow, keeps the cards cool, and reduces noise by 8% compared to plastic fans[2]. The durable aluminum backplate is corrosion-resistant and non-flexing, providing higher structural integrity and enhanced cooling with large vent designs. Plus, its small form factor makes it easy to fit into any setup.

Seamless Video Editing and Content Creation

The Intel Arc GPUs offer a versatile Creator toolkit for quick creation, editing, and uploading of content. The Dual Media Transcoder speeds up processing time and supports a wide range of media formats, while the Xe Media Engine enables seamless video editing and exporting across formats without compatibility concerns.

The all-in-one AI Playground app provides image creation, editing, and AI-powered answers at the fingertips of anyone with an Intel Arc GPU, as it leverages the specialized XMX AI engines in each Xe-core. This accelerates AI-enhanced gaming, content creation, and media generation, bringing the latest AI experiences right to the users’ PCs.

Acer Intelligent Space for a Competitive Edge

Acer Intelligent Space, the built-in central hub for intelligent device features, detects system hardware, recommends compatible AI applications to optimize performance, and helps discover new tools for gaming enhancements. Acer Game Assistance gives a competitive advantage by automatically adjusting colors and providing a sniper mode for precise targeting in shooting games, while Acer ProCam automatically recognizes and records gameplay highlights to capture those intense moments. For an extra edge, the devices come with an HDMI port 2.1, three DisplayPort 2.1, and a PCIe 4.0 bus.

Genedata Expands AI Discovery Workflows with NVIDIA BioNeMo Open Models, Including the New RFD4-Proteina Release

Published

By

Bringing next-generation binder design models into production discovery

BASEL, Switzerland, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Genedata, a Danaher company, and the leading provider of enterprise software solutions for biopharmaceutical R&D, today announced the addition of the new RFD4-Proteina binder design model into Genedata’s AI-enabled discovery workflows, following the model’s introduction at NVIDIA GTC Berlin. As an early ecosystem partner, Genedata is among the first companies to make RFD4-Proteina available within its production discovery workflows. By connecting AI-generated molecular designs, scientific data, and laboratory results, Genedata helps researchers transform AI predictions into continuous learning cycles that accelerate biologics discovery.

The workflow begins with scientists defining target characteristics and required properties using Genedata’s AI co-scientist. NVIDIA’s open protein design models then generate and evaluate candidate binders within Genedata. As candidates move into laboratory testing, results are captured and linked back to the original designs, helping scientists refine and rank the next round.

“Advances in AI are creating unprecedented opportunities for protein and antibody discovery, but unlocking their full value requires more than access to powerful models alone,” said Othmar Pfannes, Ph.D., President of Genedata. “Researchers need a way to connect molecular design, experimental execution, and scientific data into a continuous learning process. Genedata serves as the digital backbone that brings these elements together, helping scientists evaluate more candidates before testing, preserve the scientific context behind each outcome, and build knowledge from one discovery cycle to the next.”

While advances in generative AI are rapidly expanding what scientists can design, many organizations still struggle to operationalize these models within production scientific research workflows. Genedata provides the orchestration, governance, and scientific data foundation needed to deploy NVIDIA BioNeMo open models, including RFD4-Proteina, directly within the discovery workflows scientists use every day. Researchers can apply AI-generated designs within established processes while maintaining lineage, traceability, and scientific context across the discovery lifecycle.

Within Danaher’s autonomous laboratory initiative, these capabilities connect AI, automation, and scientific data in a closed-loop discovery framework where each experimental outcome informs the next design cycle, creating a continuous learn-and-improve process that advances science while keeping scientists in control.

Personalized: With permissions granted and limits set, Bybit AI analyzes actual account information, including financial behavior and risk profile alongside assets and positions, to generate outputs tailored to the individual.Connected: Bybit AI links Markets, Trading, Earn, Card and other Bybit products, drawing on the full picture of a user’s holdings and activity rather than a single product.Remembered: Users can proactively share their preferences with Bybit AI, which retains this context through long-term memory so that each conversation builds on the previous one.

The release also introduces Featured, a set of customized entry points for specific use cases. Each entry point offers predefined prompts, such as generating a wealth management plan based on a user’s assets and risk tolerance, and returns structured analysis with key data, clear insights and suggested next steps.

Bybit AI supports main account operations while giving users the option to deploy it within a dedicated Bybit AI sub-account. The AI-powered assistant is built on a security-first architecture. Outputs are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute investment advice. Instructions are executed in chats only after customer authorizations.

Bybit expects to introduce further updates to Bybit AI as it continues to build toward AI-native financial services, with conversational intelligence positioned as core infrastructure.
