AMD has already proven how much 3D V-cache can benefit gamers with the Ryzen 7 5800 X3D and is now in the starting blocks to present its second-generation 3D V-cache chips with the Ryzen 7000 X3D. The Zen4 3D V-cache CPUs launching later this month could likely bring similarly massive performance gains in the gaming space, and masn is good at [...]

A Chinese tech outlet provides another leak showing AMD’s upcoming 8-core Zen4 architecture processors. Just yesterday, the same account published the very first results of the integrated Radeon 780M RDNA3 GPU in 3DMark TimeSpy, to today also publish the first CPU benchmarks. Going by the name Ryzen 7 7840HS, the processor is an 8-core / 16 [...]
Even though Intel will launch these new processors under the Xeon brand, they are the spiritual successors of the long-forgotten Core X series. The future Xeon W2400 and W3400 series will not only have many more cores based on the latest architecture, but also support all modern technologies like DDR5 or PCIe Gen5. This is undoubtedly an important [...]
The AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX is a 12-core, 24-thread processor based on the Raphael architecture (codenamed Dragon Range). This hybrid of mobile and desktop processor will probably power most high-end gaming laptops based on AMD hardware, such as Alienware m16/m18, ASUS ROG Strix or Lenovo Legion. According to AMD, these CPUs should work with TDPs of [...]
According to the AMD, the flagship Ryzen 9 7950X3D with 16 cores will cost the same as the "original" Ryzen 9 7950X with 16 cores at launch, which is $699. This processor will launch on February 28 along with the Ryzen 9 7900X3D, which is a 12-core version. AMD has priced this model at $599, which is $50 more than the 7900X's launch [...]
YuuKi was one of the first to publish Intel’s Sapphire Rapids engineering samples. No photos of the Sierra Forest processor have been released, but a photo of the new socket design has surfaced. However, it does not show the socket itself, but a protective cover with the inscription LGA-7529, which indicates a higher pin count than Sapphire [...]
The CPU-Z tool shows information about Intel’s new 13th generation Core Mobile series. Generation, which also includes the latest HX 55W models and the power-saving chips codenamed Alder Lake-N. There was an announcement for both product lines at CES 2023. Intel’s latest 24-core, 6 GHz processor, the Core i9-13900KS, is also now fully [...]
Today is finally the day – loyal readers won’t be surprised by this –, for Intel’s last and fastest LGA1700 CPU we also have binning data for you once more. Thanks to MIFCOM, we were able to run almost 200 chips through our testing routine again, and now you get to see the results. Plus, there’s a treat waiting for all (hobby) [...]
AMD unlocks OC for Ryzen 7000X3D or is this just another bug? AMD’s product pages can be quite misleading in parts. Earlier this month, the Ryzen 7000X3D pages already made headlines when AMD updated them with a February 14 launch date, only to later confirm that this was a mistake. Even a few weeks later, we still don’t know when [...]
Jan Hubicka, a SUSE compiler engineer, has added additional AMD Zen 4 code, more specifically “znver4” CPU target tuning, to further prepare for the upcoming release of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC 13). GCC 13 includes additional and improved AMD Zen 4 CPU target tuning, and numerous patches for the new version have been added in [...]
Although my topic has been preached by the old hands in the PC field in forums for decades and is often the approach of any solution to performance problems, the same questions keep popping up from less experienced users. I hope to reach them with this article on our professional platform and maybe there is one or the other info for everyone else [...]
After Microsoft released DirectStorage 1.1 for PC systems with Windows as well as for current GPUs and NVMe SSDs, you can now also see the first performance benchmarks of the latest GPUs from AMD, Intel and NVIDIA compared to each other. The decompression of graphics files is improved by DirectStorage 1.1, which works equally well for Intel, AMD [...]
AMD disclosed 31 new CPU vulnerabilities in an update in January, affecting both the Ryzen chips for home users and the EPYC processors for data centers. The vulnerability update also includes a comprehensive list of AGESA versions with workarounds for the affected processors. AMD disclosed the vulnerabilities in a coordinated disclosure with [...]
In keeping with today’s date, we continue with our Intel Raptor Lake silicon lottery data today, namely with the overclockable i7 and i5 SKUs. So whether your 13th Gen chip is a winner or a loser, you can find out today, among other things. At this point, I would like to refer to the previous article on the i9 chips, since the procedure for [...]
An embarrassing miscommunication on AMD’s part? AMD has just confirmed that February 14 is not the correct date for the launch of the Ryzen 7000X3D chips. Yesterday, the company gave such a date for all three X3D SKUs announced at CES, but the company has now “decoupled” its chips from that date. So no Valentine’s Day after [...]
CPU manufacturer AMD confirms the launch date for its 3D V-Cache Zen4 CPUs. The AMD Ryzen 7000X3D now has a release date, as spotted by Overclock3D. AMD has just updated its website with the new information for the 3D V-Cache enhanced Ryzen series. All three SKUs that AMD announced at CES 2023 are scheduled to launch on February 14, as can now be [...]
Very soon, the fastest Raptor Lake-S CPU will be on the market and Intel will probably launch its next (rather unreasonable) feasibility study for good money. Meanwhile, there are more and more spoilers about the performance of the new processor, so we can assume a “silent” release soon. Intel’s Gaming Technical Marketing Lead [...]
AMD releases the new Zen 4 CPUs without X in the name today. Of course, I was able to test the CPUs in the form of the Ryzen 9 7900 and Ryzen 5 7600 in advance and also added the respective X models freshly. Even though these new CPUs might look rather unspectacular at first glance, the slightly lower price and higher efficiency could definitely [...]
Dr. Lisa Su, CEO of AMD, not only presented AMD’s visions in various fields such as AI, gaming, entertainment, healthcare, automotive and aerospace at CES, but there were also various product announcements and demos. All those who have been waiting for the new Ryzen X3D will also find what they are looking for here. Thus, AMD has introduced [...]
Just in time for Christmas we have something special for you today. With the help of MIFCOM, we were allowed to bin a statistically not insignificant amount of CPUs (over 500 in total) and today we have the evaluation for you to browse through. Intel 13th Gen Raptor Lake CPUs are the topic today and this time we even covered all overclockable K [...]
