Nvidia has added the new GeForce GTX 1070 Ti to its Pascal lineup of gaming GPUs, sliding in between the GeForce GTX 1080 and 1070 GPUs. The new GeForce GTX 1070 Ti will be available worldwide on November 2 at a suggested retail price of US$449. Featuring the Pascal GPU architecture, the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti comes with 2,432 cores and 8GB of memory running at 8Gbps for a total bandwidth of 256GB/s. Nvidia has designed the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti to be overclockable and its partners have also built cards with thermals and power supplies that allow gamers to push performance past stock specifications, according to the vendor.

At NRF 2017, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich demonstrated Simbe Robotics' Tally, a robotic autonomous shelf auditing and analytics solution for retail. Tally works in concert with retail associates by arming them with information to ensure the store's products are always stocked, in the right place and displaying the correct price tag. The robot operates safely during normal store hours alongside shoppers and employees, and doesn't require any infrastructure changes to the store. Tally is powered by an Intel Core i7 processor-based Intel NUC and uses a number of Intel RealSense cameras to help understand the world around it and navigate the store safely.

Intel has announced a new modular compute platform called the Intel Compute Card along with a range of partners who will be working with Intel to help accelerate the ecosystem of solutions based on the Intel Compute Card. The Intel Compute Card has all the elements of a full computer, including Intel SoC, memory, storage and wireless connectivity with flexible I/O options so hardware manufacturers can optimize for their particular solutions - from interactive refrigerators and smart kiosks to security cameras and IoT gateways. Device makers design a standard Intel Compute Card slot into their device and then utilize the Intel Compute Card. This reduces the time and resources needed to design and validate the compute block. Intel is working with a wide range of partners who are working to develop products that can take advantage of the simplified design, ease of serviceability and user upgradeability of the Intel Compute Card. These partners include HP, Lenovo and Sharp.
