Gaming was yesterday, in the truest sense of the word. I’ve linked yesterday’s article with the gaming benchmarks below. Today we finally have something for the working people, who of course also like to play games in the evening after work. But does the whole thing still fit together and can you finally do both properly on a single PC [...]
AMD has unveiled the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, a new CPU that is currently positioned as the main competitor to Intel’s Core i9-14900KS gaming chip. According to AMD’s Ryzen 9000 series performance comparison guide, the 9800X3D outperforms the previous competition in terms of gaming performance, with increased multi-threading and overclocking [...]
It’s the first time in 15 years that I’ve had to post a CPU launch article later, but I’m doing it anyway for two reasons. Firstly, I owe it to the readers without emotion, and secondly, after reading many other reviews, there were still things that could be added. After all, a purely repetitive publication of already known data [...]
AMD’s upcoming Zen 6 generation Ryzen desktop CPUs are rumored to be compatible with the current AM5 socket and are expected to be launched in late 2026 or early 2027. According to initial reports, the CPUs will feature improved core configurations and more efficient manufacturing technology that is suitable for desktop and server [...]
Yesterday, the long-awaited AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D landed on the shelves of the three major distributors and their online stores. What do you mean, landed? The low-level flight of a tiny micro-squadron with a hectic take-off in all directions. Once again, this is a CPU that not only makes gamers’ hearts beat faster (and sometimes stop), but [...]
AMD is reportedly planning to extend its 3D V-Cache technology to the next generation of Ryzen APUs and Threadripper CPUs. This technology, which has so far mainly been used in desktop processors, could thus be extended to other application areas, including workstations and possibly mobile platforms. A recent leak on the Chiphell forum, posted by [...]
With the Strix Point APUs, AMD is launching a new processor line on the market that has been specially developed for AI-supported applications and LLMs (Large Language Models). A direct comparison with Intel’s Lunar Lake chips reveals a clear difference in performance. According to AMD, the Strix Point APUs can outperform their competitors [...]
Gigabyte’s so-called “X3D Turbo Mode” for Ryzen processors once again proves to be exaggerated marketing with questionable technical “optimizations”. Gigabyte advertises impressive performance increases of up to 35% for Ryzen 9000X3D processors and up to 20% for normal Ryzen 9000 CPUs – figures that hardly seem [...]
The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 3D V-Cache CPU shows a significant increase in performance compared to previous models in new benchmark tests. In terms of performance, it comes close to the 9950X and the i7-14700K and outperforms the Ryzen 7 7800X3D by up to 25%. The CPU is expected to be available in less than two weeks and initial test results indicate [...]
The upcoming AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processors have been spotted in the latest Geekbench benchmarks. The leaked results show performance gains in both single-core and multi-core tests compared to the existing Ryzen 7 7800X3D. AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D: Leaked benchmarks The Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU is a further development of the previous Ryzen 7000X3D series [...]
Of course, it’s not just me who has my own personal opinion on Intel’s Arrow Lake S, but many other colleagues too. That’s why I’ve summarized the most important conclusions and assessments for me and put these summaries, which don’t necessarily have to coincide with mine, together again for discussion in the forum. I [...]
The time has finally come and the results for Intel’s new Core Ultra 200 series are on the table. I can already spoil the fact that we will see very interesting, but partly mixed results today compared to AMD’s Ryzen 9000 series, especially in the gaming sector. The tension curve was also extremely tense for me and so it ended up as it [...]
Intel relies on a modular architecture for the Arrow Lake CPU. In contrast to previous generations, where all components were combined on a monolithic chip, Arrow Lake implements various functional blocks as separate tiles, which are then integrated together on a base module. While this architecture is not fully chiplet-style like AMD’s, the [...]
AMD has officially confirmed that the Ryzen 7 9800X3D will be released on November 7, 2024. At the same time, the company announced price reductions for its Ryzen 9000 series. This is AMD’s response to the competition in the CPU market, particularly the upcoming releases from Intel and other manufacturers. Technical data and release of the [...]
Intel’s Arrow Lake processors, which will soon be physically released to end users, represent a significant evolution for Intel and are intended as a response to AMD’s Zen 5 chips. These processors, which belong to the 15th generation of Core processors, will be available in desktop (Arrow Lake-S) and laptop (Arrow Lake-H) variants and [...]
NVIDIA and MediaTek are working together on a new AI PC SoC, which is expected to be released in the second half of 2025. This chip is to be integrated into the product lines of well-known OEM manufacturers such as Lenovo, Dell, HP and ASUS. The collaboration between the two companies aims to serve the growing market for AI-enabled PCs and offer [...]
In the latest benchmark leaks, the results of the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K, a CPU from the Arrow Lake series, were published on Geekbench. These show that the performance in multi-threaded applications has been improved compared to previous models and competitor processors. The processor has a total of 20 cores and 20 threads, which are made up of [...]
AMD is reportedly planning to launch its next generation of processors with 3D V-Cache technology in the near future, which could also disrupt the launch of Intel’s new Arrow Lake S CPUs in October. The first model in this series, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, is set to be released next month, followed by the more powerful Ryzen 9 9950X3D and Ryzen 9 [...]
According to Golden Pig Upgrade and Hoang Anh Phu, AMD has released new information on its Ryzen AI 300 APUs from the Strix Point and Krackan Point series. The processors are intended to cover different market segments, with the Strix models targeting the “PRO” variants and more powerful systems, while the Krackan Point models are [...]
AMD’s EPYC 4124P “Zen 4” CPU is a quad-core processor that was originally developed for entry-level servers and workstations. Recently, this processor was overclocked to a clock speed of 6.6 GHz, which was made possible by using a B650 mainboard. The overclocker Sergamann was able to set a record with the EPYC 4124P on a Gigabyte [...]
