AMD took its time with the Navi32, probably also for resource reasons, and now PowerColor even comes with an RX 7800XT Hellhound in a completely white dress – right down to the board and coils. The GeForce RTX 4070 is always firmly in view and of course poses with the 16 GB graphics memory. The cooler is huge, the power limit is ample and [...]
Short connection? Then you only need to own a Fritz!Box from AVM and operate it in Deutsche Telekom’s fiber optic network (FTTH). If you then call a mobile phone number and want to talk a little longer, you will lose relatively quickly. Or rather, after just two minutes and one second. Because that’s when the connection is lost and you [...]
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 400 SUPER GPU family is expected to be unveiled at CES 2024 in January, most reporters agree. During this event, the company will present the cards and it is also said that the launch date for the product line is already planned for January 2024 as well (although it could still be postponed due to NVIDIA’s internal [...]
And as soon as we had a small system with an i9 in the test, AMD’s counterpart immediately followed. Today, for once, in a shape other than a cuboid. Packaging and scope of delivery At least the box is square. Wrapped in a sash that can be pulled away to the side, with the included configuration marked on the back. Inside, several small foam [...]
According to the latest findings from TrendForce, the global SSD market returned to normal in 2022 due to a solution to the shortage of master control ICs that had impacted the market in 2021. Despite the normalization of supply, global SSD shipments saw a decline, with only 114 million units shipped in 2022 – a 10.7% decrease from the [...]
Another CPU generation, another binning session along with an article for you all! We also had the pleasure of opening up almost 600 silicon loot boxes for the launch of Intel’s 14th generation and today we have the results. The data spans all new 6 overclockable “K” SKUs, with additional new 13900 chips for comparison, IMC tests are back [...]
Since I’ve been testing these small systems, an incredible amount has happened thanks to increasingly powerful processors from the notebook sector. The road from a passable second system to a fully-fledged desktop replacement without compromises was not as long as expected. So let’s take a look today at whether this mini PC is [...]
The CMP 50HX GPU from NVIDIA, which was originally developed for crypto mining, has now been converted into a gaming card. However, its performance is not particularly impressive. Due to limited PCIe lanes and a lack of driver support, NVIDIA’s CMP “crypto” GPUs are woefully unsuitable for gaming. The CMP range was introduced in [...]
I admit it, this is more of a relaxation interlude today, because I’m still really exhausted from the analysis article, the most authentic translation possible and the two videos from the weekend. And no, we’re not getting any younger, just wiser. I hope so. And so I thought I’d simply give ChatGPT, the chief engineer, the task [...]
ASRock has quietly released a new BIOS firmware update with AMD AGESA 1.1.0.0 for its X670E motherboards. This suggests that formal availability is likely to follow soon. The ASRock Taichi X670E motherboards will be the first to receive support for the new firmware. The AMD AGESA 1.1.0.0 UEFI firmware is an extension of the existing AGESA 1.0.7.0 [...]
A research study from China has revealed that its in-house AI processing chip “ACCEL” is said to offer performance that is 3000 times faster than NVIDIA’s A100 & A800 GPUs. In the face of global sanctions, China is working to improve its own solutions to maintain the current pace of industrial growth. Tsinghua University in [...]
Today’s article is the result of several months of laboratory work, extensive measurement series, development work, and constant cross-checking. The matter of the 12-volt connectors is unfortunately so complex that I had to look for a new approach to complete the picture. And no, there isn’t THE one cause, but always a causal chain of [...]
The first tests on the performance of the AMD Radeon RX 7900M “Navi 31” GPU are now available and it beats the GeForce RTX 4080 laptop GPU, at least in 3DMark Time Spy. However, the AMD Radeon RX 7900M, the flagship of the RDNA 3 laptop GPUs, is only slightly faster than the RTX 4080 in the first 3DMark tests. The AMD Radeon RX 7900M [...]
I have prepared a very elaborate article for next Monday (06.11.2023) that reflects in detail on my work over the last 6 months on this seemingly never-ending topic. And I can already spoil the fact that the pieces of the puzzle that are still missing from my point of view and have probably finally been found now provide a much more complete [...]
AMD recently released the latest driver for Radeon, which includes support for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and AI acceleration for RDNA GPUs and APUs. The driver includes performance improvements and optimizations for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and DirectML. It is compatible with all RDNA GPUs and APUs, but not with older Polaris and [...]
“Yet, just another O11 clone!”, evil tongues will probably claim, and they are really not completely wrong with the claim. The 2-chamber design with glass panel at the front is extremely popular and NZXT sets an interesting accent with the angled fans. Whether the “Show-and-Shine” case can also shine in practice, you can [...]
Es sind mittlerweile erste Benchmarks des Intel Core i7-14700HX “Raptor Lake-HX Refresh” Prozessors aufgetaucht und sie zeigen eine vielversprechende Leistungssteigerung im Vergleich zu seinem Vorgänger. Der Intel Core i7-14700HX ist der Nachfolger des Core i7-13700HX und gehört zur 14. Generation der Raptor Lake-HX Refresh CPU-Familie [...]
Today we’ll take a look at a device that wavers between very good and strange in many places. Large build space, active electric heating for high internal temperatures and Klipper out of the box have piqued my interest. Again, there is a lot to look at, discuss and evaluate today, so quickly cleared as large a storage space as possible and [...]
Intel’s upcoming generation of Arrow Lake desktop CPUs could have an advantage in terms of instruction set support over their mobile Arrow Lake H siblings. According to Intel’s 50th Future ISA Guide, Arrow Lake’s ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) will be different between desktop and laptop platforms. This is because the 2nd [...]
It’s been a long time coming, but after a whole decade, Alan Wake has finally passed the torch to a worthy successor, since the remake doesn’t really cut the mustard. And now, drum roll please, he’s back in the saddle! Every newsroom is over the moon and singing the game’s praises. But to steer clear of the Alan Wake 2 hype [...]
