I had already mentioned in my article “Why manufacturers are struggling with AMD notebooks, why AMD likes to trip itself up and why the blue conspiracy is not a conspiracy at all | Search for answers“, why notebook manufacturers are still so reluctant to buy AMD CPUs and APUs for mobile applications. But I’ll explain in a moment [...]
Testing the Sharkoon Rebel C50 – how much hardware fits into a case for around 100 euros?
AMD postpones the Ryzen 99xx launch to August 15 and shows that it has learned from Intel
Performance leap: Arrow Lake 9 285K up to 18% faster than 14900K?
Ryzen 9 9900X disappoints in gaming: First benchmarks show lag behind 7800X3D

You read it again and again and everywhere, but it’s still interesting to see how more and more top managers at AMD are commenting on the introduction of the next generation. The latest statement comes from AMD’s Executive Vice President of Computing and Graphics, Rick Bergman, who said that the next generation will set a new benchmark [...]
Now it's official, but the bad news first: the Ryzen 4000 G-Series will only be available as desktop APUs in complete systems, not in free retail stores. Unfortunately, this is exactly what I had already hinted at several times weeks ago. The fact that AMD would like to take precautions against a possible cannibalization of the normal desktop [...]
For the AMD Ryzen 7 4700G Renoir APU, new benchmarks have been leaked that could reveal their performance in various benchmarks. These latest benchmarks come from Chiphell, where a forum member was able to get a sample of the aforementioned APU and test it under various performance metrics, including graphics performance, of course. The tested APU [...]
In the previous news about Intel’s new CPU generations and the roadmap, I had already pointed out Intel’s hybrid approach several times. If Intel now follows ARM’s big.LITTLE approach, the result is a heterogeneous, very dynamic computer architecture that combines economical and thus slower processor cores with proportionally [...]
Does that sound very lurid? Not at all. The whole thing isn’t that absurd, because such a Ryzen is actually a complete SoC (System-on-Chip). But you would have to bring such a processor to life first. That there are other possibilities for this, apart from all the known chipsets, is no state secret, but at least it seems to be uncomfortable [...]
The colleagues from Videocardz.com reported about a new list of not yet released Zen3-based EPYC processors, but with very incomplete data. Here I can provide more information today, but this is based on three relatively early samples in the so-called A0 stepping. As we know, AMD’s Milan is also known as Genesis (internal code name) and thus [...]
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 [...]
According to Chen Gwenwen, reporter for New Taipei Report, Sheng-Chang ‘Charles’ Chiang (Jiang Shengchang), general manager and CEO of the well-known notebook and motherboard manufacturer (MSI) in Zhonghe district, New Taipei City, died. He fell from the building in the afternoon of 7.7.2020 and died on the spot. According to the [...]
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 [...]
Gigabyte puts a B550 motherboard on the market with the B550 Vision D, which is rather poaching in the nobler upper house with currently a good 260 euro and is partly almost twice as expensive as the cheapest X570 boards. While I still had stomach aches with the Gigabyte B550 Aorus Master to explain the price in a plausible way, the Gigabyte B550 [...]
Intel’s current weakness in desktop CPUs might suggest that the long-awaited Ryzen 4000 generation might be a bit of a plaything for casual time management. Launch this year, yeah. But when, actually? Q4 is a three month long, very stretchy time window. And then, of course, there is the question of availability after the release. In order to [...]
Currently Intel is wading through the valley of tears a bit, because you can do what you want, you just can’t get past a better node in view of AMD’s current run. And this is where the crux of the matter begins. A new entry of Intel’s Rocket Lake desktop CPU from the Geekbench 5 shows an 8-core (16 threads), which is used as CPU [...]
AMD officially announced the Ryzen 3000XT ‘Matisse Refresh’ product line several weeks ago. This product line consists of a total of three processors still based on the 7 nm Zen 2 architecture, but with a slightly improved design (or simply better binning) that allows higher boost clocks than the Ryzen 3000X series. Although the [...]
Since there are always questions and some things are often confused, we will give you some insights into AMD-UEFI, what is colloquially called “the BIOS” (although it is no longer correct). I have also broken down the following extremely to remain as simple and understandable as possible. Nevertheless, what happens when the PC starts [...]
In part 1 “We build a Hackintosh – part 1 as a starting aid for newcomers and assembly” it was “only” about choosing the right hardware and assembling it, but now it’s getting serious. I would like to thank al6042 from the Hackintosh Forum, who was able to shorten the learning curve up to the “finished [...]
It had become increasingly clear that the portfolio of Renoir CPUs could look quite different in the end. Here, too, the “refresh” APUs are to be introduced immediately and not the previously circulated models. The only downer for all the HTPC and office enthusiasts who wanted a powerful CPU with relatively fast integrated graphics: [...]
Sure, it would be too good to be true that you can buy for relatively small money, Oops Bitcoins, a fully functional Ryzentosh that suddenly eliminates all AMD hardware problems and is the first project to run really clean. Just the unlawful seizure of the name of the (rightly indignant) OpenCore community and the misuse of the corresponding logos [...]
Our forum user casi30 has created an optimization guide for us, which should make the impossible possible, especially since the combination as CPU and GPU is already quite sporty. He cools an AMD Ryzen R7 3800X with the included Wraith Prism, runs a reference model of the Radeon RX 5700 for this purpose and finally optimized the whole thing [...]
Owning an Apple PC is usually quite an expensive affair and is usually celebrated almost religiously. But if you want to work with MacOS, perhaps to have an advantage over Windows PCs in one or the other application, or simply to be different, you don’t necessarily have to buy an Apple Mac Pro (2019). Fortunately there is the possibility to [...]
