The German notebook manufacturer Schenker had already presented the XMG Apex 15 some time ago, so I am not presenting a world first here, of course. Since one can fall back on socketed CPUs from AMD with the Apex 15, because a B450 board with socket AM4 is used, this notebook makes it quite interesting for me. Except for the built-in graphic unit [...]
This article aims to give you a rough overview about the current state of Undervolting, including detailed instructions, potential risks, benefits and some political background. Undervolting is the deliberate reduction of electrical voltage on the CPU and GPU. If applied correctly, it has the potential to slightly lower the temperature and power [...]
I had already mentioned in my article “Why manufacturers are struggling with AMD notebooks, why AMD likes to trip itself up and why the blue conspiracy is not a conspiracy at all | Search for answers“, why notebook manufacturers are still so reluctant to buy AMD CPUs and APUs for mobile applications. But I’ll explain in a moment [...]
I had actually been thinking about an Asus ZenScreen in the same size, because I would have liked to have had a portable monitor for both the smartphone and the notebook. But this monitor doesn’t have an hour in hands-on mode, because it unfortunately had a pretty good reflection and extreme halos. But the almost 270 Euros are a little steep [...]
Well, I’m not really a “LisaLeaks” with my website, but the slides from AMD’s “Power and Thermal Data Sheet” for Renoir, which were kindly sent to me from a nice source today, do not lack a certain amount of explosiveness. To be fair, I have to preface this with the fact that it is a pure feature list of [...]
In 2004, Nvidia introduced MXM as the first open standard for interchangeable graphics solutions in the mobile sector. But even though we have now arrived in 2020 and version 3.1, it is mainly the manufacturers themselves who are increasingly emphatically refusing to replace graphics modules in such an easy way. Of course, it's difficult to [...]
I just had to write down the following now, because I neither like the usual conspiracy theories about alleged constraints (although Intel has provided enough reasons for this in the past), nor do I find many forum discussions fair, which once again show that among many forists there seem to be more experts than capable engineers in the [...]
Our forum member "Mr. Gurke" contributed a user news today and wrote about the Indiegogo project. Of course you should be happy to share in this and therefore now like to leave the sole word to the forum activist and then I'm out… Do you sometimes feel that way? You only want to look up something on the big internet very [...]
Yesterday, AMD launched the Ryzen 4000 Mobile CPUs already presented at CES 2020. Some notebooks with the brand new chips are already available for order. Initial tests show the flagship Ryzen 9 4900H(S) is a huge leap in performance compared to the last generation. Obviously, with the same consumption, the Renoir-baptized CPUs can leave [...]
According to wccftech.com, the first AMD Ryzen 4000 'Renoir' desktop CPUs are obviously already in circulation and one of these copies has now been discovered by the hardware supplier _Rogame. The Ryzen 4000 'Renoir' CPUs (essentially an APU) are based on the 7 nm architecture and are equipped with the new Zen 2 CPU and improved [...]
NVIDIA is on the verge of launching its new GeForce RTX SUPER mobile GPUs, which improve specifications and improve performance compared to existing GeForce RTX mobile GPUs. It looks like PCGamesN has got an internal slide in hand that shows up to 50% better performance of each SUPER variant compared to the older non-SUPER siblings. The Turing [...]
AMD has already managed to irrevocably and sustainably break the paradigms of previous pricing in the PC industry in the desktop sector. I wrote about this yesterday in the article "Intel is modest: New Cascade Lake-X CPUs with old Skylake architecture and Threadripper 2 prices". But the desktop isnot everything and the market with [...]
For a change, a Radeon in the Radeon Tweaker Group RTG does not necessarily play the main role, but it is also the AMD graphics. In this article, however, it's all about the device itself, the HP Spectre x360 15 with an Intel i7-8705G and the said Radeon RX Vega M GL.
Yes, you get annoyed (and wonder) when AMD has been announcing technology and solutions for mobile devices for years and you have to look for them every time you trade the magnifying glass. If you find anything at all. My colleague Usman Pirzada from wccftech.com has investigated this very question and can confirm with further details exactly what [...]
Shortly before the start of CES on 08.01.2019, AMD will be the line-up of the second generation of Ryzen mobile processors, based on the 12nm Zen+ Ryzen architecture with AMD Vega graphics, as well as the new version of the mobile Zen-based processors on 06.01.2019. Athlon processors in 14nm. We have facts and details...
Thanks to a fundamental overhaul, the new SCHENKER SLIM 14 (M18) is considerably slimmer and lighter than its predecessor: the use of a 14 inch thin-bezel display allows its integration into a particularly compact, predominantly aluminium manufactured housing. The Ultrabook uses Eighth Core Intel quadcore processors and offers a good variety of [...]
