According to AMD, the new AMD Ryzen 3 3100 and 3300X offer twice as many multitasking capabilities as previous generations with four cores and eight threads, opening up completely new perspectives in Mainsteram. At the same time, the new B550 chipset for the AM4 socket now also offers the bandwidth advantages of the PCIe 4.0 on cheaper mainstream [...]
Counterfeiting and CPU fraud have not only been around since yesterday, especially in the retail market. But according to HKEPC’s latest report, it now looks like the big tech companies themselves are falling victim to these scams. The report mentions that Chinese-based shopkeepers and resellers have tried to send massive amounts of [...]
The performance and temperature values of another Intel CPU of the 10th Generation from the Comet Lake desktop portfolio have been leaked and this time it is the Core i9-10900F, a 10-core processor with an official TDP of 65 watts. But as we all know by now, these TDPs at Intel are almost always derived from the base clock and not from the actual [...]
Currently there is a very large selection of processors, be it from the blue Intel or the red AMD bearing. But what do you actually need for everyday work, gambleors or a few pictures or pictures? To edit videos from the holiday? Does it have to be the Intel Core i9-9900k or the Ryzen 9 3900X from AMD? Do I need a Ryzen of the 3. Generation? Maybe [...]
According to kkj.cn, the 7-nm process of Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC), China’s most advanced and largest manufacturing facility, will start with small series production in the fourth quarter. Compared to 14 nm, SMIC’s N+1 process improves performance by 20%, reduces power consumption by 57%, decreases [...]
Surprise? It seems that Intels have the CPUs that are on the 10th. generation will follow as 11. generation in the name scheme. This is certainly not surprising information, but rather boring, but it shows a different (more predictable) approach to product naming than NVIDIA (GeForce 10 -> GeForce 20) and AMD (Radeon 500 -> Radeon 5000). Constant [...]
As you've probably read somewhere, Intel has the upcoming Core series of the 10th. Generation for enthusiast notebooks (such as comet Lake-H) for tomorrow's 2nd April announced. This series will take advantage of the well-known 14 nm manufacturing process and offer up to 8 cores. The flagship processor codenamed Core i9-10980KH will be an [...]
Yesterday, AMD launched the Ryzen 4000 Mobile CPUs already presented at CES 2020. Some notebooks with the brand new chips are already available for order. Initial tests show the flagship Ryzen 9 4900H(S) is a huge leap in performance compared to the last generation. Obviously, with the same consumption, the Renoir-baptized CPUs can leave [...]
Intel's platform, codenamed Rocket Lake-S, is currently not expected until the end of 2020, but rumors about the RLK-S platform have been circulating on the web for some time. Now, thanks to their sources at Inte, Viudeocardz's colleagues have been able to provide some more concrete information about this new platform. The leaked diagram [...]
The Folding@home project has been using the computing power voluntarily provided by users for years for simulations that help to develop drugs. For current reasons, it has been decided to use computing power for research into the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus in order to search for a cure or a vaccine for the COVID19 disease caused by the virus. If you [...]
According to wccftech.com, the first AMD Ryzen 4000 'Renoir' desktop CPUs are obviously already in circulation and one of these copies has now been discovered by the hardware supplier _Rogame. The Ryzen 4000 'Renoir' CPUs (essentially an APU) are based on the 7 nm architecture and are equipped with the new Zen 2 CPU and improved [...]
Intel's CFO George Davis showed up at Morgan Stanley's TMT conference, having a refreshingly honest and open discussion with the analysts present about the 10 nm process. The company revealed that it plans to press ahead with the 10+ process this year, but also warned that 10 nm as a node "simply won't be the best node Intel has [...]
I had already mentioned in the article "Intel Core i9 vs. AMD Ryzen 9: How convex or concave are the current heatspreaders really and what are the consequences?" roughly torn, where I see the problem of the so-called IHS. The feedback from the readers was very positive, with voices also being heard calling for a more accurate [...]
We already know it from many (also mine) articles about cooling, thermal paste and heatspreader: really plan is really nothing. And while the quality of the radiator floors has really improved over the years, one would finally have to question the current CPUs again, or not? That's exactly what I did in a small test setup today, because my [...]
After many measurement series and invested hours, the article about the power consumption of the Ryzen 9 3950X was (just) finished. The CPU, which AMD collected again this morning by courier for the rotation between the editorial staffs, was even somewhat warm, because I had to break off the tests now unfortunately. For this reason, there will be [...]
As a trained GDR citizen, one was always faced with the dilemma of what would be better for the personal zero number: a packed shop window and an empty wallet or an empty shop window and a bulging purse. The latter was almost always the case in the East. Well, except for a few privileged people who were more valuta-doped than the aluminium chip [...]
Many people were certainly annoyed by the somewhat sparse sampling, even those who had expected me to take a complete test at the launch. The fact that this was not possible may also be due to AMD's new sampling strategy and the fact that none of the dealers have a CPU before the 25.11. was allowed to give. Genereral verdongelung on all fronts [...]
Epyc 2 has long been in the wild and is allowed to snatch away Intel's Xeons one or the other server loot. Now also Threadripper 3 with a new chipset, about which there were long discussions in the run-up, especially since the boards have also inherited the small chipset fan from the X570 platform. However, the SP3 server socket no longer [...]
After all, the real availability for AMD's new consumer flagship, which AMD is announcing for 25/11/2019, has finally become concrete. This means that we are almost three months behind the market launch, which was announced in the summer, but it is still in time to fully enter the Christmas business. Incidentally, this is exactly the day when [...]
