You know I’m not a fan of limitless energy waste that the mining boom keeps pushing to new heights. It’s no secret that a new GeForce RTX 3080 Ti has its difficulties with Etherum and that it’s hardly worthwhile with this card here in Germany due to the lack of efficiency. That was to be expected. But what about all the other [...]
"Hope you enjoyed all the new technologies we announced at #computex 2021. We are so proud of our @AMD Ryzen desktop APUs, @Radeon mobile GPUs, FidelityFX Super Resolution, and our brand new 3D chiplet technology – the best in high-performance computing!!!" (Dr. Lisa Su on Twitter)
The next generation of Zen 4-based Ryzen desktop CPUs will be codenamed Raphael and will replace the Zen 3-based Ryzen 5000 desktop CPUs, which are codenamed Vermeer. According to the information currently available, the Raphael CPUs will be based on the 5nm Zen 4 core architecture and feature 6nm I/O dies in a chiplet design. After all, AMD had [...]
Update from 30.05.2021 Based on an expert opinion I created for PayPal, the service provider has now decided in favor of the bruised buyer and has already transferred the money back. As long as you can prove everything cleanly, the buyer protection is quite useful, as long as you follow the most important rules, which I also describe below in the [...]
If anyone is wondering why my output is currently a bit lower than usual, I can reassure them. I’m fit as a fiddle, but my input has gone way up for this. New graphics cards, a new half-year update of Windows 10, many game patches and new drivers once again make a complete reboot necessary. More DXR for all, optimized settings and logically [...]
Intel announced earlier this week that it had reached a key milestone in the development of its next-generation Meteor Lake 7nm CPUs. The company let it be known on Twitter that the line-in of the compute tile of Meteor Lake CPUs was successful. The milestone of sorts was proudly announced by Intel’s Executive Vice President and GM of the [...]

Meanwhile, more details on AMD’s upcoming AM5 desktop platform supporting future Ryzen CPUs and APUs have been released by leaker ExecutableFix. The AMD AM5 platform will compete directly with Intel’s new 600 platform, as both will be the first platforms to also offer consumer DDR5 memory support. According to this leak, the next [...]
Based on several reports of the last days and my article “Exclusive: Intel’s DG2 for Mobile and Desktop – Xe enters the second phase” I have today exclusively for you another table from an internal Intel slide, which also confirms many of the already leaked assumptions. It’s nothing fundamentally new, but it once [...]
Since I have to do some longer tests now and then, like this notebook test, which takes more than just one day, I’ll give you a not-so-serious picture gallery as a mental compensation instead of a serious review, while I’m sitting up here in the lab and sweating. Light fare in hard times also has something, so just enjoy the next pages [...]
As if the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and 3070 Ti weren’t enough, an RTX 3090 Ti could now be on the way as well, according to various speculations. That this is probably not the case, can be clarified quite quickly, because I have checked all my sources. The leak of the supposed NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti was originally published by PC Mania [...]
AMD had recently released the first open source Linux graphics driver code for a new GPU called Beige Goby. Listed in it, Beige Goby is the latest Linux-specific codename used for new hardware enablements in their graphics drivers. We remember: After the Dimgrey Cavefish, the Sienna Cichlid, the Navy Flounder and others, the Beige Goby is now the [...]
Of course, when AMD launches the RX 6600XT and RX 6600 soon, we’ll already know most of it. With Navi23 AMD relies, as already with the RX 5500XT and Navi13, on a chip that can be used both as an external graphics card and in the notebook as a dedicated chip. This has advantages and disadvantages, as we will see in a moment. However, in [...]
Intel had already announced the Xe (a.k.a. Gen12) graphics architecture in 2020, and step by step it was also concretized. The portfolio here ranges from integrated ultrabook chips and dedicated cards to genuine workstation and server cards. The one I want to show you today is factually currently at the top end of Intel’s graphics food chain [...]
There is some movement in the leaker scene again and so it is not surprising that also various information about AMD’s next GPU leaks out. So now we could also enjoy new details about AMD’s next APU lineup, the Ryzen 6000 “Rembrandt”, published by ExecutableFix, a reputable leaker. In fact, according to his latest tweet, it [...]
It’s been a while since AMD set itself a spring 2021 timeframe target for its DLSS competitor, FidelityFX Super Resolution. Now TechTuber Coreteks speculates that you could probably be just a month away from launch. This is to be seen first with the usual caution, but it was to be noticed in return also that in this connection also from the [...]
You probably remember Intel’s DG1 and the somewhat unsuccessful attempts to get the dedicated DG1 to work at all on the original evaluation system. To those who accused us of negligence and outdated drivers at the time, let me wink and confirm: even with the latest sofware snippets, nothing still moves. Because whether this system was ever [...]

Starting this week, NVIDIA is already shipping the first samples of the new SKUs to the respective board partners (AIC). The GeForce RTX 3060, whose launch was so difficult at the time due to a kind of driver accident, makes the start. This is now to change step by step and SKU by SKU. But how can the buyer tell if it’s an uncropped older [...]
Nothing against the protection against cheaters, that this is necessary and right, you do not have to discuss. It’s just that in places the arrogance and disregard for legitimate objections and requests is almost unbearable. Games worth over 100 euros are worthless within a fraction of a second, just because someone has hung colorful fans [...]
