Today we start the beta phase of our first interactive fan database and offer for the first time a variety of real measurement results compared to the manufacturer data in an interactive database, which allows comparisons of application scenarios and speeds that did not exist so far. Since there is currently no source that offers realistic and [...]
ATX 3.0 and 1000 Watt for under 160 Euro? Another reason to let my friend Aris from Hardwarebusters have his say (and picture) on our site, because he not only tested this power supply intensively, but also officially certified it via his company Cybenetics. There you can also find the equipment and the test setup. Since it is surely interesting [...]
We recently tested an AMD model from this manufacturer, and now we have a small Intel system after that. How the mobile CPU, which is now a good 2 years old, performs, you can read in the following article. Click here for a mini-PC with AMD processor: Packaging and scope of delivery The small cardboard box is very plain, with only the company name [...]
Based on this week’s article on laser-indicated plasma spectrography and the results of the actually rather randomly selected pastes, Cooler Master immediately ruled in the case of the Cryo Fuze Violet (see further down in the text). I analyzed the measurement in more detail, because there were two things: on the one hand, the Al2O3-based [...]
The first gaming benchmarks of AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs with the latest AM5 BIOS, which is supposed to improve memory performance and support, have been published by Quasarzone and the results are not necessarily convincing. The latest AM5 BIOS is said to improve DDR5 memory support and overclocking of the Ryzen 7000 CPUs, but gaming performance [...]
Today, for the first time, an AiO water cooler from Lian Li finds its way onto my testbench, a really interesting model. By the way, Lian Li has also changed the OEM, so all-clear. Asetek instead of Apaltek. And so that it doesn’t get too exciting, we’ll start without further ado! Packaging and scope of delivery Dark printed and in a [...]
On Tuesday, FinalWire announced that the latest version of its AIDA64 diagnostic and benchmarking software now supports AMD’s upcoming processors based on the Zen 5 microarchitecture. In addition, support for Intel’s upcoming processors, namely Meteor Lake, Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake, has been “enhanced.” According to the [...]
I recently had an article where I successfully used Thermal Putty on a graphics card. It is ultimately a highly viscous thermal paste (often referred to as thermal adhesive). Thermal Putty is a highly interesting (and often misunderstood in DIY) material used between electronic components and heat sinks to improve heat transfer. Traditional [...]
Update from 19.07.2023 – 02:30 pm Since the Cryo Fuze is supposed to be mainly composed of aluminium (I will, of course, not disclose the actual recipe for certain reasons), the absence of any aluminium traces over so many measurement points is indeed interesting and an important finding for Cooler Master. In consultation with the [...]
Hardware leaker All_The_Watts!! has published alleged benchmark results of AMD’s upcoming performance mainstream RDNA 3-based graphics cards Radeon RX 7700 and Radeon RX 7800 in 3DMark Time Spy. The performance numbers should be taken with a grain of salt, but for what it’s worth, both products show comparable performance compared to [...]
Work is currently underway on the next generation of AMD Ryzen 8000 APUs, codenamed Strix Point. Two new SKUs have already been added to the AMDGPU LLVM backend. The AMD Ryzen 8000 “Strix Point” APUs will appear in LLVM and feature RDNA 3.5 “GFX1150” & “GFX1151” iGPUs. It is expected that the AMD Ryzen 8000 [...]
Yesterday I already discussed the performance projection for an Arrow Lake S CPU, today we have the matching base in the form of the LGA1851 socket. Because Raptor Lake for Intel’s LGA 1700 desktop platform is already on the market and an update is planned for the fall. However, this socket will not be continued after that. It is planned [...]
Hardware leaker @wnxod published a supposed benchmark of the Core i7-14700K processor, which is supposed to show a configuration with 8 performance cores and an unknown number of efficient cores. However, earlier reports spoke of 12 efficient cores. The CPU is not recognized by any software yet, but it is identified as Raptor Lake HX/S. CPU-Z [...]
Lenovo presents the GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card in a mini-ITX form factor. The card will initially be available in the company’s PCs, but could possibly also be available in retail stores, as is often the case with Lenovo graphics cards. Lenovo’s GeForce RTX 4060 mini graphics card is a typical mini-ITX graphics card with a length [...]
The Raptor Lake refresh is expected to arrive this year as the 14th CPU generation for the desktop. But the real successor, Arrow Lake-S for desktop, is also increasingly materializing along with the new 800 series chipset, which again brings a new processor socket, of which I will soon publish the exact details including the drawings and data [...]
The GCC compiler has recently received patches for the upcoming Intel Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake product lines. A similar strategy from Intel has been observed as they provide preliminary support for future architectures much earlier than AMD. Unlike AMD, Intel tends to provide support well before the official launch. Phoronix reports that Intel [...]
You would think that Windows 11 automatically includes at least the most important standard drivers. The WLAN is active and there might even be an Ethernet cable in the LAN port. You feel well prepared and then you get to a point where you really wonder if they smoked some special weed in Redmond. I have rarely seen so much stupid ignorance and [...]
Today I’m standing in for Alexander, who usually tests the peripherals here. I also have to get out of my full-size keyboard comfort zone, but that won’t be difficult in the end, since this is an objective review and not a bath in your private oasis of well-being. So let’s take a look together with the necessary distance at what [...]
AMD’s vice president says that AMD would not follow Intel’s approach with hybrid architecture and instead wants to bring Zen 5 to desktops as soon as possible. In the interview, David McAfee, corporate vice president and general manager of the Client Channel Business at AMD, talked about the company’s existing portfolio as well [...]
Lisa Su, CEO of AMD, emphasizes that AI plays a crucial role in the development of next-generation chips. She talks about the challenges involved and emphasizes the need for AI in the testing and verification phase. At the 2023 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) in Shanghai, she underlines the role and importance of AI for the future [...]
