One finds the Realtek ALC1200 very often on beginner and mid-range motherboards, and if you google once or interpret the swarm intelligence of the relevant forums, there is also a frightening amount of half and ignorance in circulation. Some write from a highly labeled ALC887, others from a slightly slimmed down ALC1220. And the only right thing [...]

There have been (once again) new rumors about AMD’s RDNA 2 “Navi 2X” GPUs that will be found in the next generation graphics cards of the Radeon RX series. The rumor again points to a late start in the 4th quarter. It will be available in the second quarter of 2020 and will also cover RDNA 3, which could be a major revolution for [...]
Since I have switched most systems in the lab and private sector to M.2 NVMe SSDs and also operate everything in a nice mixed way across the PCIe versions, one can, however, notice differences in parallel systems with identical software and the same workloads, even if some things are much less sensational than it is often spread by PR [...]
In this context, it is interesting to note that a member of XMG Schenker’s staff sent a letter to Reddit, which openly addresses precisely this problem. Thus, on 31. July the ODM made the announcement that AMD was facing a serious CPU shortage in Q3 2020. Major orders whose delivery has been confirmed by their ODM for mid and late August are [...]
The hype around the EarFun Air was already quite big, probably also because of cleverly launched reviews and press releases. A pair of buds for the narrow thaler with a rich sound and other good qualities? the reality: sold out and waiting for supplies. That makes you curious and a bit sceptical at the same time. All the more astonished I was [...]
Death Stranding is in some ways an opinion leader. Either you like it or you hate it. At least you can't accuse this game of being "uniform mash", because it does many things differently than you would expect. Whether it is a successful console port nevertheless or just because of that, you can read in the short test.
Sometimes it is good to wait at least a day or two to check the validity of some reports. For example, DigiTimes reported the day before yesterday that Intel had booked 180,000 wafers in the 6 nm process at TSMC and would use them for their flagship HPC GPU Ponte Vecchio. The order and the quantity should be right in the end, but the targeted [...]
Already in June Intel brought its 3. Gen Xeon Scalable CPU family, also known as the “Cooper Lake”, but still based on the 14nm architecture. Now some people in mainland China (where else?) have gotten their hands on the first QA (Qualified Sample) of Cooper Lake chips, which have an interesting design for the family of LGA 4189 CPUs [...]
The latest rumor comes from the Chinese technology company FCPOWERUP, known for its reports on power supplies, which has stated in an article that NVIDIA will use a new power supply interface for its next-generation gaming product line. I will comment on this in a moment, but first of all I want to reflect what has been published so far. The page [...]
You have to look hard to find the advantage of the Ryzen 9 3900XT over the Ryzen 9 3900X. The longer such a session runs and also includes different scenarios and a very different thread load (number, load level), the smaller the actual differences become and you have to look very carefully. In order to remain as meaningful as possible and not [...]
What does NVIDIA have to do with the new consoles from Sony and Microsoft? physically nothing at first, because this playground belongs to AMD at the moment. But what is driving NVIDIA’s current and expected stock prices? many analysts now expect this development to trigger a GPU upgrade super-cycle in the console market. Bank of America [...]
Before I act as a (future) painter and create a possible package including the dimensions known so far, we should review the rumors and leaks of the last days. Let’s take the usually well-informed Kopite7kimi at the word leak, who mentioned a tape-out of the GA102 chip on Samsung and not TSMC on Twitter. This means that a launch as early as [...]
After one year of Ryzen 3000 (“Matisse”), the replacement of the current Ryzen 5 3600X, Ryzen 7 3800X and Ryzen 9 3900X is approaching, by adding MTS2 (internal for “Matisse Refresh”), an improved XT replacement, which should make waiting for Ryzen 4000 (“Vermeer”) a little easier. And probably also a little bit [...]
Especially after the tests of the B550 motherboards, the justified question about the problem with the split PCIe 4.0 ports naturally arises. PCIe 4.0 with 16 or 8x connection should not show any (serious) difference together with the suitable (AMD) graphics card. But what about the fallback to PCIe 3.0, for example runs an older AMD or [...]
About two days ago, the news went through the media that Galax had released a GeForce GTX 1650 Ultra, which was equipped with a new TU106-125 instead of the small TU117-300. With it, this would be also the first physically existing RTX-castrate, that was sighted on the market. So I started looking for clues and was able to learn some interesting [...]
