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 [...]

The Intel RS1 is a special variant of the “Granite Rapids” Xeon 6 processor series. In contrast to the usual Xeon 6 models, the RS1 is aimed at a single-socket platform and supports up to 136 PCI-E 5.0 lanes. This focus is aimed at covering specific requirements in medium performance scenarios without requiring the more extensive [...]
AMD has presented new performance data shortly before the release of its 5th generation of EPYC processors, known as “Turin”. These chips are based on the Zen 5 architecture and show a significant increase in performance compared to the previous generation, which is based on the Zen 4C architecture. The available data compares the EPYC [...]
The upcoming AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9000 CPU, which is based on the Zen 5 core architecture, was recently spotted in a mail-order catalog, reports NBD. The processor, codenamed “Shimada Peak”, is said to have up to 96 cores and 192 threads. This configuration consists of 12 chiplet dies (CCDs), each comprising 8 cores and 32 MB of L3 [...]
Intel has released the first drivers for the Arc 140V and Arc 130V “Xe2” iGPUs of its upcoming Lunar Lake “Core Ultra 200V” processors.

The “Zen 5” architecture, which was introduced in high-end laptops this summer, is now also available in desktop processors of the AMD Ryzen 9000 series. These processors show strong performance in the areas of content creation, productivity and AI applications. However, the community has commented that the gaming performance of the [...]
As reported by our colleagues at Computerbase, ASUS may have inadvertently given the first hints of the upcoming Ryzen 9000X3D CPUs from AMD, which are already being talked about even before their official announcement by the manufacturer. These new processors are said to be based on the Zen 5 architecture and use 3D V-Cache technology, an [...]
AMD Ryzen 9000: Does a BIOS update increase the TDP for the Ryten 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X to 105W?
The recently launched AMD Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X processors, which are based on the Zen 5 architecture, may be due for a significant upgrade. A new BIOS update could increase the Thermal Design Power (TDP) of these CPUs from the originally specified 65W to 105W. This adjustment indicates that AMD wants to further optimize the performance [...]
It wasn’t easy to find the right attributes for AMD’s new Ryzen 9 9950X and the right headline for the test article. But while I was able to pull myself out of the noose elegantly with a relatively large amount of text, AMD will probably still have to sit, sweat and make a lot of improvements. There were certainly other reasons for the [...]
The problems at Intel are currently increasing, especially with the 13th and 14th generation CPUs. In case you haven’t heard about it yet: These processors are struggling with significant stability issues. To counteract this, MSI and ASUS have recently released new BIOS updates. Before we go into detail, however, let’s take a brief [...]
Testing the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X as a harbinger of AMD’s new Ryzen 9000 series would only really be a cracker if AMD had raised the bar to completely new heights in terms of either performance or price or both. That’s not exactly the case, but the test is still very interesting because you have to look at all the charts in their entirety [...]
There is now also official extended warranty information for the 13th and 14th generation Intel Core desktop CPUs. It is interesting to note that this offer now also applies to the tray versions. Intel has now published another summary in a community post: Further to Intel’s earlier announcement regarding a two (2) year warranty extension [...]
NVIDIA is about to launch a new version of its GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card, reports MEGAsizeGPU, which will now be equipped with GDDR6 memory instead of the previously used GDDR6X memory. This change is not unexpected, as there have been increasing reports of supply bottlenecks and quality problems in the production of GDDR6X memory modules in [...]
The ongoing stability problems with Intel’s 13th and 14th generation processors have attracted the interest of another law firm. Kaplan Gore, a law firm specializing in class action lawsuits, is currently investigating the possibility of filing a lawsuit against Intel. This investigation comes at a time when complaints about the performance [...]
Intel recently announced that it is extending the warranty on its 13th and 14th generation processors, also known as “Raptor Lake”, by two years. This decision follows persistent reports of stability issues that have persisted despite multiple attempts by the company to address the problem through BIOS updates and microcode fixes. This [...]
Intel may be facing a legal challenge as instability issues with 13th and 14th generation CPUs are causing increasing displeasure. The law firm Abington Cole Ellery has announced that it will investigate these issues further and is currently looking into the possibility of a class action lawsuit. The cause of this legal threat lies in the repeated [...]
The AMD Ryzen 9000 series is currently the subject of much discussion. There are not only the first benchmark leaks, but also a postponement of the official launch, which is causing discussion.
