Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, Core Ultra 7 265K and Core Ultra 5 245K Gaming and Workstation Review – When more suddenly becomes less

The time has finally come and the results for Intel’s new Core Ultra 200 series are on the table. I can already spoil the fact that we will see very interesting, but partly mixed results today compared to AMD’s Ryzen 9000 series, especially in the gaming sector. The tension curve was also extremely tense for me and so it ended up as it [...]


AMD Ryzen 9 9950X Gaming and Workstation Review – Some highlights in workstation applications and not consistent in games

It wasn’t easy to find the right attributes for AMD’s new Ryzen 9 9950X and the right headline for the test article. But while I was able to pull myself out of the noose elegantly with a relatively large amount of text, AMD will probably still have to sit, sweat and make a lot of improvements. There were certainly other reasons for the [...]


AMD Ryzen 5 9600X Review – Preferred narrow fare instead of high-end, but interesting is actually something completely different

Testing the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X as a harbinger of AMD’s new Ryzen 9000 series would only really be a cracker if AMD had raised the bar to completely new heights in terms of either performance or price or both. That’s not exactly the case, but the test is still very interesting because you have to look at all the charts in their entirety [...]

In addition to its new P16v i Gen 2, P16s i Gen 3 and P14s i Gen 5 models, Lenovo has also introduced the ThinkPad P1 Gen 7, which is also the first to feature LPCAMM2 memory. But very slowly. First of all, what’s inside this new model from Lenovo? You can expect a 16-inch display with a 16:10 aspect ratio, narrow bezels for a screen-to-body [...]

Workstation Graphics Cards Charts 2023 with Cards from AMD and NVIDIA – Benchmarks of Real Applications and Full Versions, Plus an Efficiency Test

Where do current workstation graphics cards from both manufacturers stand when it comes to design, construction, simulation, 3D visualization and creation? Has AMD been able to catch up or even overtake with the new lineup of Radeon Pro graphics cards or are Ada and Ampere still the measure of all things? I’ll try to find objective answers [...]


AMD Radeon Pro W7700 Review – Where does AMD’s mid-range workstation graphics card stand in everyday work? With teardown and material analysis

With the Radeon Pro W7700, AMD is now closing the huge gap between the previously tested Radeon Pro W7800 and W7600, thereby completing its own portfolio of RDNA3 graphics cards for productive use. Even though this chip and the corresponding design as a gaming graphics card would place it very elegantly between a Radeon RX 7600 and the RX 7700XT [...]


Raptor Lake Resfresh with the Intel Core i9-14900K, Core i7-14700K and Core i5-14600K Review – Hot dragon battle in the energetic final stage

Much helps much, my grandma used to say. And before you throw something away, it’s better to make something new out of it. So say my grandma and Intel. After Raptor Lake is before Arrow Lake, and so the Raptor refresh comes almost exactly one year later. Says Intel and my grandma is silent. And so, in addition to a bit more clock, at least [...]

Intel’s new Xeon W-3400 and Xeon W-2400 series desktop workstation processors (Sapphire Rapids) with big performance leap and advanced platform features

Let’s first look back: Intel’s nevertheless very successful HEDT line ended in 2019 with the Core X series, almost 3 years ago. Since then, the company has launched three complete generations of mobile and desktop CPUs, but completely ignored the HEDT platform. In the meantime, the Core desktop chips of the 13th generation offer a high [...]
