It's Sunday again, and yet there's still light in the lab. Certain things are coming up next week, and so the Sunday photo series will fill exactly the gap that hours of benchmarks tear into the normal article budget. A human being is not an amoeba and cell division only works in prison. So it's best for the community to relax a bit [...]
As various sources told me (some of them quite annoyed), the release of the already so often announced Alchemist desktop graphics cards could be postponed even further towards late summer. A somewhat vague period is mentioned here, which extends from July 1, 2022 to August 31, 2022. Why one is then already more than half a year behind schedule can [...]
After a few days of silence, Yuri got back in touch, even though it didn’t get any easier. The current news situation is well known, I don’t need to comment on that. But I like to let him have his own say on how he is currently doing: Hello… Relatively everything is normal, my street and neighborhood was shot at 1am again with [...]
G.SKILL is constantly expanding its portfolio of DDR5 offerings. While a 2x 32 GB SKU with 6000 CL30 was added just a few weeks ago, the smaller but even faster 2x 16 GB 6600 CL34 kit is officially announced today. This is yet another variant of the well-known Trident Z5 design, which will be available in black and silver, with and without RGB, as [...]
Today’s article is not a test, but actually just a teaser and I’ll explain why right away. Yes, I signed the NDA and meanwhile I also have a Ryzen 7 5800X3D. However, this is not a usual (rotation) sample from AMD, but a real retail CPU and bought myself. For this reason, too, I find myself somewhat conflicted. Actually, I wanted to [...]
First of all good news for everyone, because I was able to catch a sign of life from Yuri again. He is alive, healthy and passes his sleepless nights working on the Hydra update. So, as it were, eyes (not) closed and through, even if it is becoming increasingly difficult, because the Russian aggressor is slowly “warming up” to the city [...]
Even though AMD has not explicitly sampled the new old Ryzen CPUs with Zen3 core, many of the new CPUs have already reached retailers. The top model, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D (8 cores, 16 threads, up to 4.5 GHz, 4 MiB L2 cache, 96 MiB L3 cache) should become available in rather homeopathic doses with an MSRP of about 450 dollars. Our own inquiry to [...]
The GeForce RTX 3090 Ti PCBs are NOT compatible with the AD102 “Ada”, I would like to preface this here. But how can one come to this hasty conclusion? After I wrote a news about the pin compatibility between the GA102 and the AD102, there was speculation if we are already seeing the next generation design on the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti [...]
Once again, I will try to extrapolate the power consumption of individual components to be able to conclude the power consumption of the GPU. I was almost right on the money with Turing and also this time the board design, if it will really come like this, does not pose any riddles. It is possible to derive quite interesting details based on the [...]

One or the other detail has already been leaked about Ada (Lovelace) and the upcoming graphics cards with the AD102 core and up to 600 watts TBP. Today, another interesting piece of the puzzle is surely added with the expected reference board, the planned coolers and the RAM configuration. I recently received a picture from my own Chinese sources [...]
At the moment Yuri is doing well under the circumstances and he already wrote you in his letter that he tries to compensate many of the current events by work, as long as electricity and bombardment by Russian bombs and missiles allow it. However, he will continue to work as long as he is able and also impement Zen 4 in Hydra. Zen 4 also supports [...]
Last year it was only in April, but this time the spring cleaning of AMD’s drivers is already in March. Six days before the GDC keynote, AMD is now releasing RSR, i.e. the Radeon Super Sampling based on Fidelity FX Super Sampling, to the gaming world today and it will be interesting to test this new implementation in practice soon. In [...]

You read it again and again that the Corona lockdown imposed on Shenzhen has forced the entire production to come to a standstill. Is it all just sweeping scaremongering, or do we need to take a more differentiated view? Foxconn would no longer produce iPhonses, graphics cards, motherboards and powerbanks would become scarce and prices would shoot [...]
The occasion is sad enough, but today I would like to let my friend Yuri speak, who despite the siege and large-scale destruction of his hometown Kharkiv by the fascist invaders under the orders of Putin has not lost his courage. He has taken the time, despite all adverse circumstances and dangers, to address to you, as readers of this site and [...]
The new, final version 1.3.9 of the MorePowerTool offers, in addition to new functions, of course, again the thoroughly revised engine, which significantly simplifies the use of the tool. Even though the file size has increased somewhat as a result, the direct implementation of various libraries directly in the tool also offers many advantages [...]

The fact, that the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti with 16 GB memory expansion has now been cancelled without replacement, was already suspected and was also reported by many media. The reasons are likely to be the unstable and problematic GDDR6X with 2 GB size. Here, it can be assumed that Micron has made a technical mistake, because besides the instability [...]
I had discussed it last week and also thoroughly tested how the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3080 GAMING OC WATERFORCE WB can behave in the water cooling loop. The problems around the aluminum used and the rather rustic build quality including a holey anodizing were also and primarily based on the amount of complaints and hints received and a detailed [...]
