If you are in urgent need of a new computer, you have to put up with the extreme prices on the one hand and the limited availability of the components on the other. It’s annoying, but it’s not likely to change anytime soon. Because you can’t always choose the time of an upgrade, or the conditions never really fit 100% anyway [...]
Intel previewed its upcoming Rocket Lake architecture for the first time at CES 2021. The upcoming Rocket Lake CPUs mark the first really big architectural overhaul in well over 5 years and is also an architecture that, due to circumstances, has been backported from 10nm at great expense so that Intel can get it to market as quickly as possible [...]
The fact that graphics cards cause considerable load peaks I could already prove impressively 6 years ago for the first time – including all the resulting problems and measures for the power suppliers. In the meantime, a lot has been done, of course also in the interest of the end customers. And yet, there are always situations where a power [...]
Our friend Yuri (1usmus) made an interesting discovery in the course of working on the new Clock Tuner for Ryzen (CTR) 2.0 for the Zen3 CPUs and the implementation of AMD’s API, because although both the Ryzen 5 5600X and Ryzen 7 5800X are actually made with only one chiplet (CCD), some time before Christmas 2020 models have been spotted [...]
The first block diagram of AMD's Ryzen 5000 "Cezanne" APUs based on the Zen 3 architecture has been leaked by now Videocardz. The block diagram shows that AMD's Ryzen 5000 'Cezanne' APUs will feature some major design changes compared to the current generation and are not just a simple refresh of the current 3rd Gen Ryzen [...]
The time has finally come, the new version of Clock Tuners for Ryzen CTR is in the starting blocks! The release will also take place on our side as the official German-speaking host already in a few weeks – after some further and necessary tests with end users – but also the current version already gives an idea of what is already [...]
AMD in detail we have gone through and we had already talked about the heatspreaders of the current generations, a burn-in and the thing with the camber. Now finally follows the picture gallery for the individual Intel CPUs. Basic article, “CPU heatspreaders examined in detail – do we need to rethink AMD and Intel now?“ Picture [...]
We already talked about the heatspreaders of the current generations, a burn-in and the thing with the cloud. For that, I’m also happy to link again to the basic article “CPU heatspreaders examined in detail – do we need to re-design the coolers for AMD and Intel now?” But what was in the time before, back then. when CPUs [...]
I had already announced a long time ago that I would continue to work on the topic of heatspreaders. However, I myself do not have the measuring equipment in the micrometer range that would allow a clear statement, so I gratefully resorted to the help offered by a German research center. It was simply important to me to support the assumptions I [...]
2020 was actually a first-class year for technological innovation, but it will probably also go down in history as the year of the ultimate frustration of discouraged consumers, when the target group will end up not being able to buy what has been on their wish list for a long time: graphics cards and processors, power supplies and last but not [...]
Since the other two AMD CPUs have arrived and I was able to get a replacement CPU for the Ryzen 9 5900X (and buy it), I have revised the whole launch article and added the missing entries. This would give us the quartet of Ryzen 5 5600X, , Ryzen 7 5800X, Ryzen 9 5900X and Ryzen 9 5950X now complete and we can ask ourselves which CPU we really need [...]
Since I received a Ryzen 9 5950X yesterday, which also has two Dies, I also chased it through all the benchmarks, virtually overnight. The problem with the two CCDs did not occur in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, so that one must rather assume a CPU-specific problem of the sample. What has been confirmed, however, is the blatant break-in under Ultra [...]
Currently I was able to test two of the new Ryzen CPUs with Zen3 core, which could not be more different. On the one hand, there is the Ryzen 9 5900X with 12 cores (24 threads) as the new, two-largest miracle product of the upper class, and on the other hand, there is the Ryzen 5 5600X with 6 cores (12 threads), which confidently removes the image [...]
I don’t really need to comment on the following document, because it really speaks for itself. In fact, everyone involved is happy to see a huge demand, but when things turn out the way NVIDIA does, the anticipation and hype quickly turns into disappointment and even anger. But that’s exactly what AMD wants to avoid, because there are [...]
I am as coreZair in various forums and as 3DAndStuff on my YouTube channel. But today I am writing this article for you as a guest author. In addition to my YouTube videos, I would like to share the results of some of my research with you. The XMG Apex 15, a notebook that is equipped with an AM4 desktop socket and supports current Zen2 desktop [...]
TumApisak has discovered something again, specifically a new entry in the database of Sisoft Sandra, and this is also promptly distributed as usual on Twitter. It seems that a multi-GPU setup consisting of two Intel Xe LPs with 1.25 GHz clock speed each was used and entered there before a run. But whether this is really a real dedicated mGPU [...]
Now AMD has let the cat out of the bag and much of what I could already report in the past weeks (including the final clock rates) has arrived. A clear increase of the IPC, together with a considerably higher clock rate, we can probably also replace Intel as a gaming chapter. The prices turn out as expected and in the end one can be curious about [...]
I would like to inform you that we are pleased to exclusively host and support the project ClockTuner for Ryzen (CTR) by 1usmus (Yuri Bubliy) for the German region. Since the english language support is provided by Guru3D, we want to be fair and link the manual / tutorial there as well, since the english language part is provided by the local [...]
Yesterday Intel officially launched its new Tiger Lake processors of the 11th generation. Generation with a brand new CPU and GPU architecture. The new Intel Tiger Lake CPUs are based on the company’s current 10nm++ node, which offers improved performance efficiency over Ice Lake processors. The Intel Tiger Lake CPUs will be marketed under [...]
With the CPUs and APUs, AMD obviously makes it like a highly infectious virus, you mutate quickly and attack Intel’s general health on all fronts. There is no other way to look at it, because under the code name “Lucienne” the first engineering samples of a new APU from AMD are in circulation. Let’s first look at the [...]
