There is some movement in the leaker scene again and so it is not surprising that also various information about AMD’s next GPU leaks out. So now we could also enjoy new details about AMD’s next APU lineup, the Ryzen 6000 “Rembrandt”, published by ExecutableFix, a reputable leaker. In fact, according to his latest tweet, it [...]

We already know since my launch article “Intel Core i9-11900K, Core i7-11700K, Core i5-11600K and Core i9-10900K against Zen3 – Last man standing in silicon” that Intel’s 11th generation doesn’t act particularly squeamish at the power supply. But also not detailed enough, because there was one thing I couldn’t [...]
At the moment the last series of measurements for this very complex article are still in progress, which I will be able to present to you tomorrow (and which I have completely underestimated in terms of scope). Because that Intel’s 11. We already know since my launch article “Intel Core i9-11900K, Core i7-11700K, Core i5-11600K and [...]
Intel running out of wafers – shortage and extreme price jumps expected for Rocket Lake S in Q2 2021
The lack of things never ceases. Products that come from TSMC, such as GPUs and CPUs from AMD, have been in plenty of short supply for some time now (with a few exceptions). Intel CPUs manufactured in their own foundries were quite available from launch (at least some models) and CPU prices were actually also pleasingly affordable. My colleague [...]
Meanwhile, more and more specifications for AMD’s Ryzen 5000G Cezanne ‘Zen 3’ desktop APUs have also leaked out and a total of three upcoming models seem to be confirmed in the process. The AMD Ryzen 5000G family will be the direct replacement for the Zen 2.based Ryzen 4000G Renoir family, which was introduced last year for the [...]
Intel’s new 11th generation CPUs have been available for purchase for a few weeks now, albeit only recently officially. And so I also got hold of an i7 11700K and took a look at what innovations we can expect with the new generation, especially with regard to RAM tuning and overclocking. Unfortunately, I couldn’t present any reliable [...]
Now the time has finally come and the other CPUs of the 11th generation may also tested and the results published. I also deliberately decided against an early release of the Core i7-11700K, which is already available in stores, because only in direct comparison and with the micro code for a new BIOS, which was only added a few days ago, will it [...]
Tomorrow afternoon I will finally publish a review of Intel’s latest CPU generation. However, the question of which high-end GPU I should use for the tests for the launch article arose beforehand. Since I wanted to test all four resolutions, i.e. from Ultra-HD down to 720p, I had to consider if and where a possible driver overhead could [...]
Ryzen has been known to be a gluey matter since Zen 2, though not in a conventional way. AMD has been combining CCX chiplets with IO chiplets into one CPU since the Ryzen 3000 series and the glue is the package in the form of copper and fiberglass. Today, we are seperating the glued components of two such CPUs and glueing them back together to [...]
The official slides of Intel’s Rocket Lake, the 11th generation of Intels desktop CPU family was leaked now and at the same time the specifications and the lineup were confirmed, which I already published a few days ago. These new slides are meant to show the gaming potential of the Core i9 CPU compared to the last-gen flagship. According to [...]
Unofficially it went with the ComboAM4PI V2 1.2.0.1 already longer, but since 03.03.2021 AMD announced also officially the support of Zen2. Up to now, AMD required a current Zen3 CPU, a B550 or X570 motherboard and an updated BIOS. Or just a current Intel solution. Now also officially Zen2 and it is time to draw here once the direct comparison [...]
Update from 09.03.2021 – CTR 2.0 RC5 Lower reference frequency values for Zen3 (extra safety when pressing the TUNE button) The number of attempts to contact the SMU is increased from 5 to 10 Testing Mode – only AVX Light (fixed a bug where it was possible to unlock this switcher) Update from 04.03.2021 – CTR 2.0 RC4 As we [...]
Those who are waiting for news about Intel’s upcoming Rocket Lake processors can take a deep breath just before the launch, only to come up for air again right away. After all, Intel’s Rocket Lake architecture represents the first significant architecture upgrade in over 6 years and will also support PCIe 4.0, so they can catch up to [...]
You’ve seen a lot of things, even on YouTube. For example, a 500 watt power supply miraculously survives even a GeForce RTX 3080, while exactly this card even forced a 1300 watt Platinum behemoth to give up in the lab before the Ampere launch. Well, NVIDIA has meanwhile defused the boost and thus also the load changes, but that should still [...]
AMD’s Zen3 architecture Ryzen 5000 desktop CPUs and matching X570 motherboards are popular, sell like hotcakes, and are also considered one of AMD’s best CPU lineups because they offer a lot of performance.But where there is a lot of light, there also seems to be the first shadows, if you follow the reports on Twitter and Reddit [...]
Now that Zen 3 has been out for some time, one naturally wonders about AMD’s next-generation CPU architecture for the Ryzen and EPYC CPUs, i.e. Zen 4 carries. Latest rumors now say that there will be another huge IPC jump and massive performance increase over the current processors. The s latest rumor on this topic comes from ChipsandCheese [...]
Intel has announced that the 11. It is expected that the 3rd generation Rocket Lake desktop CPUs will not be compatible with the existing B460 and H410 based motherboards. According to Intel, the new CPUs will only be officially supported on Z490 & H470 motherboards, while the more budget-oriented offerings will have to stay out. However [...]
Since there were some irritations at the beginning, also in connection with older installations, a special CTR-Cleaner is now available for download, which deletes the old entries from the registry under ” %LOCALAPPDATA%/A, %LOCALAPPDATA%/Nemesis_UIv2″ reliably. Please note: The program should be run as administrator (right click and [...]
If you are in urgent need of a new computer, you have to put up with the extreme prices on the one hand and the limited availability of the components on the other. It’s annoying, but it’s not likely to change anytime soon. Because you can’t always choose the time of an upgrade, or the conditions never really fit 100% anyway [...]
