The AMD Threadripper 7000 CPUs have shown impressive overclocking performance in recent weeks and maintain their dominance in the workstation and HEDT segment. Although the CPUs and some TRX50 motherboards are now available, early users have noted that overclocking may affect the system’s warranty. Upon entering the BIOS of the TRX50 [...]
CAMM (Compression Attached Memory Module) is a memory standard specially developed for laptops and portable platforms to offer maximum performance with minimum space requirements. It was originally designed by Dell and introduced during CES 2022. It was later made an open standard and adopted by JEDEC as the latest storage standard. CAMM enables [...]
The Intel Core i5-14600 is part of the 14th generation of the Raptor Lake Refresh Non-K series. Unlike the “K” models, these chips do not offer support for overclocking, as they are intended to be produced in large numbers for the mainstream market and might otherwise pose a challenge for Intel’s RMA department. Like the other [...]
Intel has released more information about its upcoming Sierra Forest Xeon CPUs, which will be equipped with the optimized Sierra Glen E-Core. This core is an improved version of the Crestmont core that will be integrated into future Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake client CPUs. The Sierra Forest Xeon CPUs will be available in 144 SP (Stream Processors) [...]
Unexpected errors are always the exception. Really? And with that, our teams start the weekend again. And one more thing: we can’t have a constant stream of professorial entertainment here for free every day, because every now and then you have to put your feet up and put down the good EWOCLEM carpet. Work-life balance and all that. So have [...]
With the ULTRA, Raijintek updates its PONOS series and brings features such as E-ATX support, a glass side panel with hinges and support for large components (40cm GPUs and 23.5cm power supplies) to the mid-range. Read on to find out whether there is a catch or whether the case equipped with four ARGB fans can once again shine in terms of price [...]
Last month, we finally got our first glimpse of the long-awaited Loongson 3A6000 processor, which was developed specifically for the Chinese PC market. The preview showed that the chip can certainly keep up with the newer desktop CPUs from Intel and AMD in terms of instructions per clock (IPC). Further tests are now available that demonstrate the [...]
It seems that AMD’s AM4 CPU platform is far from having reached the end of its possibilities. This can be deduced from a possible information leak from the Persian medium sakhtafzarmag. According to the leak, AMD is planning at least five new SKUs, including the Ryzen 7 5700X3D, Ryzen 5 5600X3D, Ryzen 5 5600GT, Ryzen 5 5500GT and Ryzen 7 [...]
According to the latest information from Coelacanth-Dream, the Arrow Lake CPUs from Intel will probably be equipped with an Arc Xe-LPG GPU, which is a slightly improved version of the one already found on the Meteor Lake CPUs. However, this GPU is said to offer improved AI acceleration, which is achieved by the addition of XMX units. Due to this [...]
Geekom IT12 Mini-PC in the test – With the i7-12650H and plenty of connections through everyday life
After we recently tested the i9-13900H, probably the most powerful small computer with an Intel processor currently available from this manufacturer, things are getting a little more normal again today. You can find out in detail how the IT12 performs in the following test report. If you missed the article on the IT13, you can read it here: [...]
With the Dark Base 701, BeQuiet! is launching a new edition of the Dark Base 700, which is intended to seamlessly follow on from the large Dark Base Pro 901 with a fresh look and radically changed airflow design.

From time to time, I like to publish background stories about companies and important people, which are not easily found on the Internet, but which I have known for a long time and highly value. The reason is simple: while everyone knows and uses the products, few know who or what is behind such seemingly everyday things. Besides a lot of work [...]
And as soon as we had a small system with an i9 in the test, AMD’s counterpart immediately followed. Today, for once, in a shape other than a cuboid. Packaging and scope of delivery At least the box is square. Wrapped in a sash that can be pulled away to the side, with the included configuration marked on the back. Inside, several small foam [...]
Another CPU generation, another binning session along with an article for you all! We also had the pleasure of opening up almost 600 silicon loot boxes for the launch of Intel’s 14th generation and today we have the results. The data spans all new 6 overclockable “K” SKUs, with additional new 13900 chips for comparison, IMC tests are back [...]
Since I’ve been testing these small systems, an incredible amount has happened thanks to increasingly powerful processors from the notebook sector. The road from a passable second system to a fully-fledged desktop replacement without compromises was not as long as expected. So let’s take a look today at whether this mini PC is [...]
ASRock has quietly released a new BIOS firmware update with AMD AGESA 1.1.0.0 for its X670E motherboards. This suggests that formal availability is likely to follow soon.
