What is the best way to test graphics cards in the workstation area? Of course with appropriate software and not just any dead-optimized synthetics. But it's not just the software that decides, but also the hardware. That's exactly where I started again and thought long beforehand. In the end, because the fastest CPU per thread is also [...]
Many people were certainly annoyed by the somewhat sparse sampling, even those who had expected me to take a complete test at the launch. The fact that this was not possible may also be due to AMD's new sampling strategy and the fact that none of the dealers have a CPU before the 25.11. was allowed to give. Genereral verdongelung on all fronts [...]
Epyc 2 has long been in the wild and is allowed to snatch away Intel's Xeons one or the other server loot. Now also Threadripper 3 with a new chipset, about which there were long discussions in the run-up, especially since the boards have also inherited the small chipset fan from the X570 platform. However, the SP3 server socket no longer [...]
Intel has the 10th place in the high-end desktop sector. generation of the Gen Core-X series. So far, so unexcited, because the processors codenamed Cascade Lake-X will use the long-known Skylake architecture, which is still manufactured in the old 14 nm process technology. And you probably can't thank AMD enough for some price pressure [...]
When testing the new AMD Ryzen 3000 CPUs, we found a significant difference in write rates between the R9 3900X and the R7 3700X in the aidA64 storage benchmarks. After initial astonishment and theoretical assumptions, AMD has now confirmed that it is indeed a conscious choice of architecture.
Something is happening again in the field of supercomputers, and so AMD and Cray presented today the probably fastest supercomputer in the world and want to take another step towards the Exascale era. For those who can't (yet) do anything with this term, it's the next order of money available. Simulations with the highest accuracy are then [...]
I don't want to spoil the end result at the beginning, but if you first benchmark the predecessor Quadro P4000 as a direct comparison, only to then have to reach unplanned but curiously on the shelf and also to flatten a Quadro P5000 with it gallantly, then pinch two times in the forearm. Especially since you can get this smallest RTX-Quadro [...]
I didn't want to come to the readers martial with registry hack or something like that, but it's quite annoying when you get a Nvidia Quadro RTX 4000 for testing, see the Reviewers Guide with the SPECapc for Solidworks 2017 and still get yourself manually to get a little bit of performance at all. The problem is Solidworks' internal [...]
With the Radeon Pro WX 8200, AMD is pushing a new workstation graphics card with Vega56, which is located below the Radeon Pro WX 9100 and Frontier Edition (both Vega64). But I not only set the map, but also disassembled it and measured a lot in the lab. With very interesting insights!
AMD has something to announce on 06.11.2018, that is already clear. AMD's CEO Lisa Su had already held both the event itself and the exact timing on Tuesday, Oct. November, given. To this end, she also briefly stated that these are products and technologies in the 7-nm process and that the whole thing is mainly based on commercial use such as [...]
AmD's second-generation Threadripper processors offered the WX series affordable server power for the first time, even for consumers and (semi-)professional users. Content creator. This new series was led by the almost bestial-looking 32-core / 64-thread model Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX. This 1800-euro processor set new records for multi [...]
AMD today announced a redesigned Athlon 200GE with a Radeon Vega 3 graphics card. It is certainly intended for everyday PC applications and is very obviously aimed at the office-only area. In addition, AMD now also offers the second-generation Ryzen PRO and Athlon PRO desktop processors for the commercial market. Combining the x86 "Zen+" [...]
Normally, Nvidia has always provided the in-house reference models for several generations now. the Founders Edition at the centre of the respective launches, while the on-board partner cards (usually as mockup or pre-series products) were only allowed to follow at least visually weeks later. This time, this is supposed to be completely different [...]
After the performance, of course, I also had time to visit the famous Q&A rounds, in which you sometimes also learn details that are missing in the actual events, for whatever reason. From left to right, Bob Pette (Vice President Professional Vizualisation), Tony Tamasi (Senior Vice President of Content and Technology), and Bob Sherbin (Vice [...]
So far, there is no trace of messegewusel. With the exception of a few floor cleaning and door-knocking agents, so far only monitors with announcements, locked corridors and security guards are a sign of a little launch feeling. The whole thing is hard to beat in secrecy and I can't remember ever making such a show around a Quadro graphics [...]
So AMD did! Not only that the Threadripper 2 has also been granted the new Zen+ This, as we already find with the Ryzen 2700X and other models of this series, no, one also occupies all four possible places in one of the two models tested today. instead of two, the Ryzen Threadripper 2990 WX elegantly (and almost with a casual gesture from [...]
Nvidia's CEO Jen-Hsun "Jensen" Huang is not an official speaker at Siggraph 2018 in Vancouver (12.08. 16.08.2018), but obviously always good for a surprise. For example, an event is scheduled for 13.08.2018 at 4 p.m. local time, which he himself will moderate. The live stream is already registered on Youtube and anyone who has some [...]
The MSI RX 580 Gaming X with 8 GB is hard to get and if so, then at exorbitantly high prices beyond the 380 euros as a kind of residual item. The significantly slimmed-down Armor X is cheaper as a variant with 8 GB of memory expansion over 100 euros, but also easier to knit in terms of cooling and design. Of course, the Gaming X could have been [...]
Since the 25th. The new General Data Protection Regulation will be implemented in Europe in May 2018 – with fewer warnings than previously feared. Nevertheless, German companies in particular are not yet able to breathe. Temporarily shut down websites, blocked media offers and thousands of consultations with lawyers and data protection authorities [...]
