A mobile chip from Intel has once again been discovered that is part of the Meteor Lake series and has the suffix “Ultra” in its name. This confirms earlier leaks and rumors that Intel is deviating from its traditional Core naming format. The processor, originally known as the Core i7, has been replaced with the Intel Core Ultra 7 [...]
As autonomous driving becomes more prevalent, edge sensors such as LiDAR, radar and 3D surround view camera systems are becoming more common in the automotive market. This is leading to an increasing need for fast signal processing, low-cost devices and more compact form factors as more sensors are required for autonomous driving. In addition [...]
Ann Kelleher, general manager of technology development at Intel, presented an overview of the company’s latest developments in several key areas at ITF World 2023 in Antwerp, Belgium. One particularly exciting revelation was Intel’s future use of stacked CFET transistors. This presentation marked the first time Intel publicly [...]
Terrible SoC voltages everywhere! AMD’s new horror! Say some YouTubers. But to learn more about this problem and understand why at first glance everything seems different than it actually is, we need to go back to the source, which is none other than SVI3. In this article today I will try to shed more light on this power interface used by [...]
In an interview with Tom’s Hardware, AMD’s CTO Mark Papermaster gave some insights into the company’s future plans. These include hybrid chip designs, higher core counts, and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in both chip design and manufacturing. One important aspect Papermaster mentioned is hybrid chip designs. This is a [...]
According to the latest information, the upcoming desktop platform called Granite Ridge is expected to feature no more than 16 cores, as revealed over the weekend. PC Games Hardware and Moore’s Law is Dead have published a potential configuration for AMD’s upcoming generation desktop platform. According to the media reports, the Zen5 [...]
Recently, there has been and continues to be a lot of uproar about ASUS motherboards maintaining excessively high SoC voltages, which appear to be the problem with the Ryzen 7000X3D failures. However, as will be seen today, other brands also maintained excessively high SoC voltages, applying only a minimal drop through the new firmware versions [...]
According to a discovery by Linux publication Phoronix, Intel released CPU microcode updates Friday afternoon that extend to processors back to Coffee Lake. Unfortunately, the changelog does not contain any detailed information, other than mentioning that the new microcode fixes an unspecified security issue. The security issue was not included in [...]
There are always challenges that the company has to overcome in connection with AGESA (AMD Generic Encapsulated Software Architecture). The exact causes of the problems with AGESA 1.0.7.0 are difficult to determine, but are believed to be due to a combination of faulty or inadequately tested code changes and insufficient communication between AMD [...]
AMD recently released the technical details of its “Phoenix” series of 7040U processors, some of which are the first to feature the XDNA-based AI engine. There is currently no more detailed information on the specifications of the 7040HS processors, but the company announced yesterday that the HS chips are now shipping to OEMs and will [...]
An Intel Meteor Lake CPU with the codename Core Ultra 5 1003H was discovered in the Ashes of The Singularity benchmark database yesterday. It is a 14th generation CPU, which was previously suspected and is now confirmed. Intel will use the new “Core Ultra” branding and thus abandon the previous “Core i” series. The chip [...]
AMD, is reportedly planning to launch Ryzen 8000 Granite Ridge Zen 5 processors in 2024 and Shimada Peak Threadripper in 2025. This information comes from insider reports and has not been officially confirmed yet. The Ryzen 8000 Granite Ridge Zen 5 processors are expected to be based on AMD’s Zen 5 architecture and serve as the successor to [...]
AMD has announced that they have been able to identify the cause of the defects in their Ryzen 7000 processors. In a Statement to Anandtech the company stated that the issues are due to excessively high voltages that are outside of the intended specifications. In response, motherboard manufacturers have received an updated AGESA version, whose [...]
Increasing demand for computing power and growing energy efficiency requirements have greatly influenced the development of data center technologies in recent years. AMD and 451 Research, a leading technology analysis and market research firm, have played a critical role in shaping and analyzing these developments. Of interest here are advances [...]
Meanwhile, some (few) users reported serious problems with the new AMD Ryzen 7000 processors, which had led to destroyed CPUs and motherboards. My friend Aris discovered, actually rather by accident, an interesting thing, which he had measured with his Powenetics v2, a shunt-based measurement setup and also logged. I don’t want to withhold [...]
ASUS has finally issued an official statement regarding the recent cases of damaged AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs on its AM5 motherboards and also explained why the older BIOS was removed. In the statement, ASUS explained that the issues were due to a combination of factors, including CPU cooling, voltage regulation, and the use of older BIOS versions [...]
The process with the destroyed Ryzen 7000X3D CPUs has of course already interested me and I didn’t want to just cover a news and that was it. So I took the damage picture from Reddit and put the back of the CPU in the right position first. We can see the destroyed Ryzen 7 and the dent along with the scorched copper pads in the picture. The [...]
Powerful microprocessors have a tendency to get hot as they deliver high performance, converting electrical energy into heat. If they are overclocked without sufficient cooling or throttling, this can lead to excessive heating of the chip, which in turn can compromise the integrity of the CPU. In this case, there is a risk that the CPU will [...]
Insider Golden Pig Upgrade already has the new AMD Ryzen 7040 “Phoenix” APU-powered laptop in its possession and will be testing it like many other tech outlets. This means that customers who want to purchase the latest Phoenix laptop will have to be patient. However, it is unfortunate that the exact time when customers can purchase [...]
It seems that there was a brief mention on a LinkedIn profile that Zen 6 server processors might already be available. However, the existence of the entry was very short-lived, but screenshots prove that this could even be a possible leak. It is important to be extremely cautious in such cases and not jump to conclusions, as unconfirmed [...]
