The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and 5500GT CPU specifications have been released by Gesci and Geizhals. The AMD Ryzen 5 5500GT is very similar to the already existing Ryzen 5 5500 CPU. Both chips are based on the Cezanne A1 die with 6 cores using a 7nm Zen 3 core architecture, 12 threads, 16 MB L3 cache and 3 MB L2 cache. The AMD Ryzen 5 5500GT has a base [...]
An alleged image of an Intel Core i9-14900KS CPU was discovered by HXL (@9550pro) on the QQ social media channel. The picture shows a CPU that reads “Intel Core i9-14900KS”. However, there are reports stating that it cannot be confirmed whether it is actually a real chip or a fake. Certain parts of the chip, such as the QR code and the [...]
Intel recently released its “Core Ultra” Meteor Lake processors and the first reviewers and customers have already gotten their hands on them. According to a review by UltrabookReview, Intel’s Meteor Lake laptops are equipped with a pre-release BIOS firmware that severely impacts performance, mainly because it causes [...]
Intel has taken a significant step in its development with the new “Meteor Lake” CPU platform, marketed as “Core Ultra”. These processors are the first from Intel to use the “Intel 4” process, which is based on EUV lithography, and the first Intel client CPUs where parts of the SoC are manufactured by TSMC [...]
Enthusiast Citizen previously leaked the benchmark results of Intel’s Core i5-14600 and has now revealed two more models, the Core i5-14400 and the Core i3-14100. The leaker also states that Intel will launch the chips on January 8 after the CES 2024 announcement. The chips will be available in retail stores from the same day, along with [...]
The AMD Threadripper 7000 CPUs have shown impressive overclocking performance in recent weeks and maintain their dominance in the workstation and HEDT segment. Although the CPUs and some TRX50 motherboards are now available, early users have noted that overclocking may affect the system’s warranty. Upon entering the BIOS of the TRX50 [...]
The Intel Core i5-14600 is part of the 14th generation of the Raptor Lake Refresh Non-K series. Unlike the “K” models, these chips do not offer support for overclocking, as they are intended to be produced in large numbers for the mainstream market and might otherwise pose a challenge for Intel’s RMA department. Like the other [...]
Intel has released more information about its upcoming Sierra Forest Xeon CPUs, which will be equipped with the optimized Sierra Glen E-Core. This core is an improved version of the Crestmont core that will be integrated into future Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake client CPUs.
