An entry on AMD’s website has quietly listed two new APUs that have not yet been officially announced by the company. These are based on the Zen 3 architecture and are positioned in the Ryzen 5 series. Accordingly, the APUs are the AMD Ryzen 5 7235HS, which has a 4-core and 8-thread configuration and offers a base clock of 3.2 GHz [...]
In recent days, shipping manifests have become an important source of leaks in the hardware sector, reports TechPowerUP. For example, prototypes of the AMD mobile processors “Strix Point” and “Fire Range” were recently discovered. Now further leaks have emerged that point to the upcoming desktop processors of the Ryzen 9000 [...]
Most people know that technology is never 100% secure. One well-known method of obtaining sensitive data is the Rowhammer method, which has been around since 2014. Researchers at ETH Zurich recently published a report on the threat posed by AMD’s Zen 2 & 3 CPUs. But first, what is Rowhammer? A rowhammer attack is a method in which the [...]
The rumor mill has been active for months, but I recently received a few slides that confirm much of this. The Lunar Lake processors are said to have up to 8 cores, combining a maximum of 4 powerful Lion Cove P cores with 4 efficiency-oriented Skymont E cores. This configuration once again confirms Intel’s continued focus on the balance [...]
Our colleagues at Tweaktown reported that AMD presented details of its upcoming next-generation Strix Point APUs at the AI PC Innovation Summit in Beijing. The new APUs will feature a number of improvements, including: Zen 5 CPU architecture: AMD’s latest CPU architecture offers improved performance and efficiency. RDNA 3 GPU architecture: [...]
As Alexandra Alper from Reuters announced, Intel is once again allowed to sell chips to the Chinese company Huawei and thus a complaint by AMD to the American authority fails at the same time. But what happened? Intel had a license from the Trump administration at the time that allowed the company to sell chips to Huawei. The Chinese company has [...]
Our colleagues at Tomshardware have reported on a new world record, the latest Core i9-14900KS from Intel, which has quickly become one of the most sought-after CPUs for enthusiasts. With an impressive boost clock speed of 6.2 GHz – the highest of any consumer processor – and an overclocking potential that is second to none, the chip [...]
The Clearwater Forest CPUs are expected to be launched on the market in mid-2024 as the successor to the Sierra Forest Xeon chips. Both chips have one thing in common: the use of E-cores instead of P-cores. The E-cores used in the Sierra Forest chips are codenamed Sierra Glen and are modified versions of the Crestmont core architecture. The [...]
The Zen 5 CPU architecture will be a big step for AMD in 2024 as it will include several lines of CPU families including Granite Ridge “Ryzen Desktop”, Strix Point “Ryzen Mobile” and Torino “EPYC Server”. All of these CPU families will play an important role and it looks like these chips will enter TSMC [...]
Recently, there have been reports that the Intel Core i9-14900KS processor is expected to be available in stores from March 2024. And yes, it looks like various retailers have already started preparing for the upcoming launch by listing and pricing the CPU in their official stores. One of the retail price lists for the Intel Core i9-14900KS CPU [...]
The popular Ryzen Master Tool from AMD, which is often used by overclockers, has received a new update to version 2.13.0.2908. This version brings support for the recently released “Hawk Point” Ryzen 8000G APUs. This enhancement is particularly noteworthy in that it shows that APUs are in no way inferior to Ryzen 7000(X) CPUs in terms [...]
Intel’s upcoming flagship processor, the Core i9-14900KS Limited Edition CPU, has leaked inside OCCT and impresses as a true beast in every way, including of course its drinking behavior. There are now quite a few reports about the Intel Core i9-14900KS CPU sighting, as the chip has already been listed online at various retailers and alleged [...]
Some things are accidental discoveries and are actually so trivial that nobody even bothers to question the current flows in the PC and, above all, to measure them. We only ever measure the 12-volt rails and are happy. But with connectors such as the 12VHPWR or 12V2x6 over 6+2 pin, the 8-pin EPS and the 24-pin mainboard connection, does exactly [...]
The NVIDIA Grace CPU is an alternative to conventional x86 CPUs in the server sector. It is based on the Arm architecture and has up to 144 Neoverse V2 cores. There are two variants of the Grace CPU: firstly, the Grace Hopper Superchip with the H200 GPU and a single Grace chip with 72 cores and HBM memory, and secondly, the Grace Superchip, which [...]
Intel’s Thread Director optimizes the performance of the company’s hybrid P-core and E-core processors by assigning workloads to the appropriate processor cores in a targeted and timely manner. This technology has been specially developed for use with Intel’s hybrid core architecture, which combines the powerful P-cores with the [...]
The rumor about an Intel Arrow Lake-S desktop CPU with 24 cores and 24 threads at 3 GHz allegedly comes from InstaLatX64. Although there is no official confirmation yet, it seems that the Arrow Lake-S CPUs from Intel will have up to 8 P-cores and 16 E-cores. The P-cores may not support Hyper-Threading, which could have both advantages and [...]
AMD’s Zen 5 architecture will serve as the foundation for the red team’s next generation of CPU families, ranging from client PCs to high-performance data centers.
