The current model of the Razer Blade 14 is equipped with a new AMD processor and Nvidia graphics unit. The notebook can now also be ordered for euro prices. These are the Ryzen 9 7940HS with eight Zen 4 cores and the Nvidia Geforce RTX 4070 laptop with 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM. This is a generation update to the previous Blade 14 with Ryzen chip. The new model should therefore generally work faster.

Razer relies on the same 14-inch chassis as before. A Full HD panel with a frame rate of 144 Hz is installed in it. A 14-inch panel with 2,560 x 1,600 pixels is also available as an option. This not only has a 240 Hz frame rate, but also a little more vertical space thanks to the 16:10 format. The WQHD panel is standard in the new model and always installed.

In addition to the RTX 4070, there will also be a version with the slightly cheaper and less powerful Geforce RTX 4060. The SoC always remains the same. The Ryzen 9 7940HS is manufactured by TSMC in 4nm finfet and can access a maximum of 54 watts. The default setting is 35 watts.

Starting price from 2,800 euros

The Blade 14 can be configured with permanently installed or optionally with plugged-in RAM. Around 16 or 32 GB of DDR5 RAM is available. The notebook can subsequently be expanded to up to 64 GB of RAM. A 1 TB SSD (PCIe 4) is also installed.

Two USB-A ports (3.2 Gen2), two USB-C ports (USB 4) and one HDMI 2.1 socket can be found on the sides of the case. The Blade 14 is charged via a dedicated power supply and the appropriate connection, since the 100 watts from one of the USB ports is not enough in some situations.

The Razer Blade 14 with the new Ryzen 9 chip can already be ordered. Razer offers a configurator for this in the online store. The price starts at 2,800 euros. An upgrade to the Geforce RTX 4070 costs 400 euros. 32 instead of 16 GB are 100 euros. The RAM upgrade is also only available if customers buy the RTX 4070 variant.

The VK company announced a ban on the robot of the famous company OpenAI, which owns the popular chatbot ChatGPT, from collecting any data from the Zen service. Journalists from the Kommersant publication said that the corresponding ban is currently set in a file belonging to the Zen service robots.txtwhich is used by various sites and platforms to regulate the rules for automatic collection of data from resources.

The press service of the VK company emphasized that the work of the GPTBot robot was indeed blocked in order to reduce the level of load that was placed on the Zen servers.

The VK company’s commentary on this matter states that the recommendation system of the Zen service is currently one of the largest in the Russian segment of the Internet. The services are heavily loaded, operate continuously, and process over 150,000 requests every second. In this regard, it was decided not to add GPTBot from OpenAI to the corresponding file in order to competently use the technical resource without creating additional load. In the Zen service, a huge number of publications are created on an ongoing basis, both in text and video format, so all resources are aimed at providing high-quality user experience, VK clarified.

The robots.txt file, as experts note, is purely advisory in nature. Therefore, from a technical point of view, nothing can prohibit the robots of any companies from ignoring the directives that are spelled out in it. For example, the Internet Archive project, which works in the field of creating copies of various web resources, announced in 2019 that it would completely ignore all installations from robots.txtbut in 2022 this decision was reversed.

The American company OpenAI uses the GPTBot robot to collect information, which is subsequently used to develop neural network products. Interestingly, Russian users currently do not have official access to these products.

Roughly similar robots are also used by the Russian company Yandex and the American corporation Google, with the help of which search engines maintain up-to-date data on various resources.
