After roasting Nvidia for overheating issues AMD now has its own
Igor's Lab was among those who verified the overheating issue in the Radeon RX 7900 XTX reference card and found that its temperature reached up to 110 degrees Celsius, which the site said is"well above the permissible temperature limit."the 24GB Radeon RX 7900 XTX as its new flagship graphics card alongside the 20GB Radeon RX 7900 XT last month with suggested retail prices of $999 and $899, respectively.
A month before the launch, AMD's senior director of gaming marketing, Sasa Marinkovic, made a not-so-subtle jab at Nvidia for the melting cable issue with the rival's GeForce RTX 4090 graphics cards that had been reported by several users., attaching an image of the dual 8-pin connector design of AMD's new Radeon RX 7900 products.
Nvidia has said it believes the RTX 4090's 16-pin 12VHPWR connector is melting because users are not fully plugging it into the card. However, the consortium that created the specification for the 12VHPWR connectorThe GeForce designer is nowseeking class-action status that accuses Nvidia of misleading consumers over the safety of RTX 4090 graphics cards due to the melting cable issue.
It may have been fun for AMD to poke fun at its rival at the time, but now the company has its own issues to sort out. ®

Genome-Wide Pleiotropy Study Identifies Association of PDGFB with Age-Related Macular Degeneration and COVID-19 Infection OutcomesAge-related macular degeneration (AMD) has been implicated as a risk factor for severe consequences from COVID-19. We evaluated the genetic architecture shared between AMD and COVID-19 (critical illness, hospitalization, and infections) using analyses of genetic correlations and pleiotropy (i.e., cross-phenotype meta-analysis) of AMD (n=33,976) and COVID-19 (n ≥ 1,388,342) and subsequent analyses including expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL), differential gene expression, and Mendelian randomization (MR). We observed a significant genetic correlation between AMD and COVID-19 infection (rG=0.10, p=0.02) and identified novel genome-wide significant associations near PDGFB (best SNP: rs130651; p=2.4 × 10−8) in the pleiotropy analysis of the two diseases. The disease-risk allele of rs130651 was significantly associated with increased gene expression levels of PDGFB in multiple tissues (best eQTL p=1.8 × 10−11 in whole blood) and immune cells (best eQTL p=7.1 × 10−20 in T-cells). PDGFB expression was observed to be higher in AMD cases than AMD controls {fold change (FC)=1.02; p=0.067}, as well as in the peak COVID-19 symptom stage (11–20 days after the symptom onset) compared to early/progressive stage (0–10 days) among COVID-19 patients over age 40 (FC=2.17; p=0.03) and age 50 (FC=2.15; p=0.04). Our MR analysis found that the liability of AMD risk derived from complement system dysfunction {OR (95% CI); hospitalization=1.02 (1.01–1.03), infection=1.02 (1.01–1.03) and increased levels of serum cytokine PDGF-BB {β (95% CI); critical illness=0.07 (0.02–0.11)} are significantly associated with COVID-19 outcomes. Our study demonstrated that the liability of AMD is associated with an increased risk of COVID-19, and PDGFB may be responsible for the severe COVID-19 outcomes among AMD patients.
