So far, AMD has only unveiled two graphics cards based on RDNA 3 that are aimed at demanding enthusiasts with deeper pockets. Although it is obvious that AMD plans to add more models to its Radeon RX 7000 series, it remains unclear exactly which ones and when they will appear. However, a recently discovered AMD ROCm 5.6 pull request uncovered by a [...]
AMD recently released the technical details of its “Phoenix” series of 7040U processors, some of which are the first to feature the XDNA-based AI engine. There is currently no more detailed information on the specifications of the 7040HS processors, but the company announced yesterday that the HS chips are now shipping to OEMs and will [...]
MSI, in cooperation with AMD, has released new updates for its motherboards that are compatible with the Ryzen 7000 CPUs. Although the Ryzen 7000X3D CPU does not support full overclocking or overvoltage adjustment according to AMD’s design specifications, AMD EXPO technology can be used to optimize memory performance by increasing the CPU [...]
An Intel Meteor Lake CPU with the codename Core Ultra 5 1003H was discovered in the Ashes of The Singularity benchmark database yesterday. It is a 14th generation CPU, which was previously suspected and is now confirmed. Intel will use the new “Core Ultra” branding and thus abandon the previous “Core i” series. The chip [...]
AMD, is reportedly planning to launch Ryzen 8000 Granite Ridge Zen 5 processors in 2024 and Shimada Peak Threadripper in 2025. This information comes from insider reports and has not been officially confirmed yet. The Ryzen 8000 Granite Ridge Zen 5 processors are expected to be based on AMD’s Zen 5 architecture and serve as the successor to [...]
Finally Sunday and once again a photo series. But there is an important insight to start with: Only with PCIe do old floppies unfold their true data rates. And so it came as it had to come – the great floppy revival.
AMD has announced that they have been able to identify the cause of the defects in their Ryzen 7000 processors. In a Statement to Anandtech the company stated that the issues are due to excessively high voltages that are outside of the intended specifications. In response, motherboard manufacturers have received an updated AGESA version, whose [...]
Increasing demand for computing power and growing energy efficiency requirements have greatly influenced the development of data center technologies in recent years. AMD and 451 Research, a leading technology analysis and market research firm, have played a critical role in shaping and analyzing these developments. Of interest here are advances [...]
Meanwhile, some (few) users reported serious problems with the new AMD Ryzen 7000 processors, which had led to destroyed CPUs and motherboards. My friend Aris discovered, actually rather by accident, an interesting thing, which he had measured with his Powenetics v2, a shunt-based measurement setup and also logged. I don’t want to withhold [...]
ASUS has finally issued an official statement regarding the recent cases of damaged AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs on its AM5 motherboards and also explained why the older BIOS was removed. In the statement, ASUS explained that the issues were due to a combination of factors, including CPU cooling, voltage regulation, and the use of older BIOS versions [...]
The process with the destroyed Ryzen 7000X3D CPUs has of course already interested me and I didn’t want to just cover a news and that was it. So I took the damage picture from Reddit and put the back of the CPU in the right position first. We can see the destroyed Ryzen 7 and the dent along with the scorched copper pads in the picture. The [...]
Let’s start the graphics card week with today’s review of an RTX 4070 from Palit and an information that I also got confirmed in the meantime: NVIDIA will stop supplying its board partners for a few weeks. In the previous news, there was usually explicit talk about the GeForce RTX 4070, which is now also the case for the GeForce RTX [...]
Powerful microprocessors have a tendency to get hot as they deliver high performance, converting electrical energy into heat. If they are overclocked without sufficient cooling or throttling, this can lead to excessive heating of the chip, which in turn can compromise the integrity of the CPU. In this case, there is a risk that the CPU will [...]
It is well known that our site is bilingual and that the content must be managed in the WordPress CMS. I’ve been using Polylang for this since 2019 and Polylang Pro since 2020, which significantly simplifies the implementation and management of multilingualism. Many things are also first translated by machine and later still manually post [...]
Valve and CodeWeavers have recently released the latest version of Proton, namely Proton 8.0-1. Proton is an open source software package based on Wine and developed by Valve. It allows Linux users to play Windows games through the Steam platform without requiring a separate Windows installation. With Proton 8.0-1, many improvements and bug fixes [...]
I recently discussed the prices and the profit margins of the board partners for the GeForce RTX 4070 and also noted that there is hardly any financial leeway left for the manufacturers, especially for the cheapest models, i.e. the so-called MSRP cards (cards that are supposed to be sold at maximum MSRP). This is reflected on the one hand in the [...]
Insider Golden Pig Upgrade already has the new AMD Ryzen 7040 “Phoenix” APU-powered laptop in its possession and will be testing it like many other tech outlets. This means that customers who want to purchase the latest Phoenix laptop will have to be patient. However, it is unfortunate that the exact time when customers can purchase [...]
Intel claims that the performance per dollar of the Arc A750 is better than that of the RTX 3060 with the latest driver update, and has released some new performance data to go with it. To fix issues, provide game-on support and boost performance, Intel says it has worked to improve the Arc GPU drivers. The latest beta update of Arc GPU Graphics [...]
Taiwan’s Foreign Trade Development Council (TAITRA) recently announced the keynote speaker for Computex 2023, one of the largest computer trade shows in the world. The show will be held from May 30 to June 02 at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center (Hall 1 and Hall 2). Jensen Huang, NVIDIA’s co-founder and CEO, has now been confirmed [...]
It’s nice to read, even after 4 years, that Igor was right about NVIDIA’s Space Invaders. Whereby the news is actually not news at all, because there would be Google for such findings. At the time, by the way, the whole thing with artifacts and dying memory modules was a big deal and NVIDIA reacted relatively quickly at the time, also [...]
