The LGA1700 socket, which Intel introduced for the 12th generation of their Core CPUs last November, is known to have one or two problems with bending hardware. For context, I recommend our other two posts if you haven’t read them already. But [...]
There have been several Black Editions or Extreme Editions at Intel in the past, but Grey Editions? This marks the strict exclusivity for the Chinese market, at least in the case of the i5-12490F CPU. The grey sheep in Intel’s Alder Lake [...]
In the gaming tests I even got carried away with a certain euphoria, especially in terms of efficiency. Now the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has to prove what it is really capable of in normal applications of my workstation – aside for gaming. And this is [...]
To say it in advance: The Ryzen 7 5800X3D is AMD’s almost condescending gesture of nonchalance to make use of an Epyc chiplet (“Milan”) with 3D-V cache as a “secondary purpose”, pack it into a normal consumer CPU and [...]
The Intel Core i9-12900KS has been on the market for a few weeks now and is, at least on paper, actually just an even more highly selected variant of the i9-12900K with a slightly higher clock and base power out of the box. Enthusiasts argue about [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]

What do you do with two Core i9-12900K trays? That’s right, binning! Today we have a very special treat for you from the south of Germany. The system integrator MIFCOM has kindly provided us with a large amount of Alder Lake i9 CPUs so that we [...]
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 [...]

We already had all the relevant information about the Ryzen 6000 for mobile use at CES, but AMD has now added some more details. Zen3+ features the improved Zen 3 cores with up to 5 GHz clock and a new RDNA 2 graphics with a targeted doubling of [...]
Ever smaller manufacturing processes lead to ever higher thermal densities in CPUs and GPUs. This is one of the reasons why Intel’s new Alder Lake CPUs run so hot that every air cooler almost has no chance with a big i9, no matter how many [...]
G.Skill shows a new DDR5 overclocking world record with 8888 Mbps on Trident Z5 memory. Together with a Maximus Z690 Apex motherboard from Asus and an Intel Core i9-12900K processor, overclocker “lupin_no_musume” has set a new world [...]
As promised, today we cover part 2 of the “Washermod”, in which we want to evaluate a few more combinations of different motherboards, socket manufacturers and coolers in a before and after test with the modification. To briefly [...]
Today I turn for the first time in detail to AMD’s upcoming Socket AM5 (version 2), as it will be used for the upcoming Raphael CPUs (Ryzen 7000). AMD consequently changes from the PGA (Pin Grid Array) with the contacts on the CPU to the much [...]
Intel’s Alder Lake CPUs run hot, very hot. A few weeks ago, Igor had already identified the bending of the CPU and motherboard due to the LGA1700 socket as a potential cause for this. Today I’ll show you a simple modification that can [...]
Can you really work efficiently and productively with an Intel Core i5-12400? And will DDR4 suffice instead of the expensive and unavailable DDR5 memory? Even if some questions remain unanswered and a “It depends” would be the most [...]
