Sometimes it is good to wait at least a day or two to check the validity of some reports. For example, DigiTimes reported the day before yesterday that Intel had booked 180,000 wafers in the 6 nm process at TSMC and would use them for their flagship HPC GPU Ponte Vecchio. The order and the quantity [...]
Already in June Intel brought its 3. Gen Xeon Scalable CPU family, also known as the “Cooper Lake”, but still based on the 14nm architecture. Now some people in mainland China (where else?) have gotten their hands on the first QA (Qualified Sample) of Cooper Lake chips, which have an [...]
I had already mentioned in my article “Why manufacturers are struggling with AMD notebooks, why AMD likes to trip itself up and why the blue conspiracy is not a conspiracy at all | Search for answers“, why notebook manufacturers are still so reluctant to buy AMD CPUs and APUs for mobile [...]
You read it again and again and everywhere, but it’s still interesting to see how more and more top managers at AMD are commenting on the introduction of the next generation. The latest statement comes from AMD’s Executive Vice President of Computing and Graphics, Rick Bergman, who said [...]
Now it's official, but the bad news first: the Ryzen 4000 G-Series will only be available as desktop APUs in complete systems, not in free retail stores. Unfortunately, this is exactly what I had already hinted at several times weeks ago. The fact that AMD would like to take precautions against [...]
For the AMD Ryzen 7 4700G Renoir APU, new benchmarks have been leaked that could reveal their performance in various benchmarks. These latest benchmarks come from Chiphell, where a forum member was able to get a sample of the aforementioned APU and test it under various performance metrics [...]
In the previous news about Intel’s new CPU generations and the roadmap, I had already pointed out Intel’s hybrid approach several times. If Intel now follows ARM’s big.LITTLE approach, the result is a heterogeneous, very dynamic computer architecture that combines economical and [...]
Does that sound very lurid? Not at all. The whole thing isn’t that absurd, because such a Ryzen is actually a complete SoC (System-on-Chip). But you would have to bring such a processor to life first. That there are other possibilities for this, apart from all the known chipsets, is no state [...]
The colleagues from Videocardz.com reported about a new list of not yet released Zen3-based EPYC processors, but with very incomplete data. Here I can provide more information today, but this is based on three relatively early samples in the so-called A0 stepping. As we know, AMD’s Milan is [...]
You have to look hard to find the advantage of the Ryzen 9 3900XT over the Ryzen 9 3900X. The longer such a session runs and also includes different scenarios and a very different thread load (number, load level), the smaller the actual differences become and you have to look very carefully. In [...]
According to Chen Gwenwen, reporter for New Taipei Report, Sheng-Chang ‘Charles’ Chiang (Jiang Shengchang), general manager and CEO of the well-known notebook and motherboard manufacturer (MSI) in Zhonghe district, New Taipei City, died. He fell from the building in the afternoon of 7.7 [...]
After one year of Ryzen 3000 (“Matisse”), the replacement of the current Ryzen 5 3600X, Ryzen 7 3800X and Ryzen 9 3900X is approaching, by adding MTS2 (internal for “Matisse Refresh”), an improved XT replacement, which should make waiting for Ryzen 4000 [...]
To make sure we understand each other, I’m testing today with the Gigabyte B550 Aorus Master a motherboard with AMD’s smaller chipset, a midrange chip, which is supposed to be well below its X570 counterpart. But exactly this B550 chip sits here on an upper class substructure, which is [...]
Intel’s current weakness in desktop CPUs might suggest that the long-awaited Ryzen 4000 generation might be a bit of a plaything for casual time management. Launch this year, yeah. But when, actually? Q4 is a three month long, very stretchy time window. And then, of course, there is the [...]
Currently Intel is wading through the valley of tears a bit, because you can do what you want, you just can’t get past a better node in view of AMD’s current run. And this is where the crux of the matter begins. A new entry of Intel’s Rocket Lake desktop CPU from the Geekbench 5 [...]
AMD officially announced the Ryzen 3000XT ‘Matisse Refresh’ product line several weeks ago. This product line consists of a total of three processors still based on the 7 nm Zen 2 architecture, but with a slightly improved design (or simply better binning) that allows higher boost [...]
Since there are always questions and some things are often confused, we will give you some insights into AMD-UEFI, what is colloquially called “the BIOS” (although it is no longer correct). I have also broken down the following extremely to remain as simple and understandable as [...]
In part 1 “We build a Hackintosh – part 1 as a starting aid for newcomers and assembly” it was “only” about choosing the right hardware and assembling it, but now it’s getting serious. I would like to thank al6042 from the Hackintosh Forum, who was able to shorten the [...]
It had become increasingly clear that the portfolio of Renoir CPUs could look quite different in the end. Here, too, the “refresh” APUs are to be introduced immediately and not the previously circulated models. The only downer for all the HTPC and office enthusiasts who wanted a [...]
Sure, it would be too good to be true that you can buy for relatively small money, Oops Bitcoins, a fully functional Ryzentosh that suddenly eliminates all AMD hardware problems and is the first project to run really clean. Just the unlawful seizure of the name of the (rightly indignant) OpenCore [...]
