We start today’s Sunday with the new GeForce RTX 5090 in a space-saving dual-fan design and a tolerable 2200 watts TBP. Also noteworthy is the 230VHPWR plug, which can also be plugged directly into the socket via NVIDIA adapter. A suitable ATX 3.0 power supply is already integrated in the case
The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D is the upcoming 16-core/32-thread processor that comes with 64 MB of 3D V-cache. This is the flagship Ryzen CPU for the AM5 socket, which is scheduled for release later this month. The processor was tested on the ASUS X670E Hero motherboard and together with 32 GB of DDR5 memory with unknown speed. The Geekbench data shows [...]
The 12-core Ryzen 9 7900X3D is one of the three planned Zen4 desktop CPUs with integrated 3D V-cache. The processors each have an additional memory chip with 64 MB of extra cache, which should provide a noticeable boost during certain workloads, including games. The processor was just found in the Ashes of the Singularity benchmark database, where [...]
With many enthusiasts looking for potent power supplies after the launch of NVIDIA’s top-of-the-line ADA models and the tiresome wrangling over the 12VHPWR connector, be quiet! offers a somewhat cheaper power supply with the Pure Power 11 FM 1000W, which could be a serious alternative for many owners of a GeForce RTX 4090 or RTX 4080 with a [...]
Let’s first look back: Intel’s nevertheless very successful HEDT line ended in 2019 with the Core X series, almost 3 years ago. Since then, the company has launched three complete generations of mobile and desktop CPUs, but completely ignored the HEDT platform. In the meantime, the Core desktop chips of the 13th generation offer a high [...]
Why there haven’t been any RAM tests from me/us for a while, why we won’t have any gaming benchmarks in our RAM tests and how we want to test RAM kits for their real differences in the future, you’ll learn in the following piece. In addition, this should serve as a basic article, which will be linked accordingly in upcoming [...]
Der8auer visited Intel labs where the company’s current and upcoming processors are tested. In doing so, he explains the structure of the Intel reference platform used for testing and the capabilities these motherboards offer Intel engineers. Most of these features are not available to users (and never will be). Der8auer shows Intel’s [...]
Four new PCI device IDs were found, which do not belong to any of the currently known NVIDIA graphics cards. The designations are in no way official, but have been suggested by the operators of the PCI ID database, who often receive initial information earlier. Allegedly, four new mobile GPUs will be launched soon, each with a different GPU model: [...]
The “Rocket Lake-S” series of the 11. Core generation is now on its final way to the virtual Intel graveyard. This week Intel released a “Product Change Notification” informing about the upcoming change. This affects a large number of desktop and workstation CPUs based on this architecture. The production shutdown process [...]
AMD has already proven how much 3D V-cache can benefit gamers with the Ryzen 7 5800 X3D and is now in the starting blocks to present its second-generation 3D V-cache chips with the Ryzen 7000 X3D. The Zen4 3D V-cache CPUs launching later this month could likely bring similarly massive performance gains in the gaming space, and masn is good at [...]
A Chinese tech outlet provides another leak showing AMD’s upcoming 8-core Zen4 architecture processors. Just yesterday, the same account published the very first results of the integrated Radeon 780M RDNA3 GPU in 3DMark TimeSpy, to today also publish the first CPU benchmarks. Going by the name Ryzen 7 7840HS, the processor is an 8-core / 16 [...]
Even though Intel will launch these new processors under the Xeon brand, they are the spiritual successors of the long-forgotten Core X series. The future Xeon W2400 and W3400 series will not only have many more cores based on the latest architecture, but also support all modern technologies like DDR5 or PCIe Gen5. This is undoubtedly an important [...]
The AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX is a 12-core, 24-thread processor based on the Raphael architecture (codenamed Dragon Range). This hybrid of mobile and desktop processor will probably power most high-end gaming laptops based on AMD hardware, such as Alienware m16/m18, ASUS ROG Strix or Lenovo Legion. According to AMD, these CPUs should work with TDPs of [...]
According to hardware leaker "chi11eddog", who had previously shared confidential AMD/MSI information, the specifications of the A620 chipset are said to be available. This chipset is an entry-level chipset with AMD AM5 socket for the latest Ryzen 7000 CPU series. According to the technical specifications, the B620 will not support PCI [...]
According to the AMD, the flagship Ryzen 9 7950X3D with 16 cores will cost the same as the "original" Ryzen 9 7950X with 16 cores at launch, which is $699. This processor will launch on February 28 along with the Ryzen 9 7900X3D, which is a 12-core version. AMD has priced this model at $599, which is $50 more than the 7900X's launch [...]
YuuKi was one of the first to publish Intel’s Sapphire Rapids engineering samples. No photos of the Sierra Forest processor have been released, but a photo of the new socket design has surfaced. However, it does not show the socket itself, but a protective cover with the inscription LGA-7529, which indicates a higher pin count than Sapphire [...]
The CPU-Z tool shows information about Intel’s new 13th generation Core Mobile series. Generation, which also includes the latest HX 55W models and the power-saving chips codenamed Alder Lake-N. There was an announcement for both product lines at CES 2023. Intel’s latest 24-core, 6 GHz processor, the Core i9-13900KS, is also now fully [...]
There are days when you would prefer not to get up at all. And there are devices that are still standing. Still. Like Toni’s flatulence station, which just ran Thor’s hammer….
Today is finally the day – loyal readers won’t be surprised by this –, for Intel’s last and fastest LGA1700 CPU we also have binning data for you once more. Thanks to MIFCOM, we were able to run almost 200 chips through our testing routine again, and now you get to see the results. Plus, there’s a treat waiting for all (hobby) [...]
AMD unlocks OC for Ryzen 7000X3D or is this just another bug? AMD’s product pages can be quite misleading in parts. Earlier this month, the Ryzen 7000X3D pages already made headlines when AMD updated them with a February 14 launch date, only to later confirm that this was a mistake. Even a few weeks later, we still don’t know when [...]
