All three new Ryzen CPUs with 3D V-cache are now correctly detected by the software thanks to the update (2021.12.31.117) and the update brings further optimizations for hybrid (asymmetric) L3 cache designs. The update scope also includes the third 8-core model, which is supposed to be launched next month and will not be hybrid. Sandra is a [...]
The colleagues from Notebookcheck have tested the 16-core Zen4 Raphael and tried out the brand-new ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo. Today’s review focuses only on CPU performance, with more details on gaming performance to follow later (although they have already released a teaser). According to the combined results, the flagship Ryzen 9 7945HX is [...]
AMD Ryzen 7000X3D processors equipped with 3D V-Cache are said to automatically optimize performance depending on the workload. The latest chipset driver can dynamically assign which core should be used by the Windows operating system. So in other words, if the workload is cache-dependent, the operating system is adjusted to favor cores with 3D V [...]
For Ryzen’s 7000X3D, there are unfortunately no hidden backdoor menus on the motherboards to unlock the “X GHz” settings. These processors were deliberately blocked by AMD for overclocking, at least in the traditional way. To get the best performance out of the Ryzen 7950X3D, you can only resort to technologies like Precision [...]
Sure, the title sounds lurid at first, but it actually contains everything that really characterized this review of the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, because this is where a highly efficient and in many areas really extremely fast CPU meets smaller, self-imposed hurdles. This may sound more dramatic at first than it really is in the end, and it [...]
Just as the Ryzen 7000X3D series is set to launch next week, AMD has announced a new promotion for existing Ryzen 7000 CPUs. The company and its partners are offering between $75 and $125 in savings on select AM5 builds. This offer takes into account AMD discounts on current Ryzen 7000 CPUs and select motherboard/memory bundles. Gamers will also [...]
A test of the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D with 3D V-Cache has already made it into the public, namely in an AIDA64 memory benchmark with the new High Efficiency mode. There was also a CPU-z screenshot leak to go with it. By the way, you can also see two Ryzen CPUs from our own stock in the picture, but I can already spoil that this is not an NDA breach [...]
The very first Ryzen 9 7945HX benchmark was spotted in the Geekbench database. This processor is part of AMD’s “Dragon Range” series with up to 16 Zen4 cores and 32 threads. The number of threads is just as high as in Intel’s 13th generation Core HX models. Generation, but the number of cores is lower (compared to 24). The [...]
Intel’s long overdue HEDT platform update is just around the corner and we already reported about it in detail. The Xeon W3400/2400 processors are thus finally about to be launched on the market for the desktop sector as well. The new series are based on Sapphire Rapids for the socket LGA4677 with optimizations for workstations. Some models [...]
The latest attempt at overclocking AMD's CPUs focuses purely on the integrated graphics solution and possible optimizations. It is worth remembering that the Ryzen 7000 desktop series has a tiny RDNA2 GPU component with only 2 compute units. That's not nearly enough to provide a decent gaming experience, but it also doesn't stop anyone [...]
The new AMD Ryzen 7000HX series, also known as “Dragon Range”, is based on the desktop chip and is currently one of the most powerful mobile processor families. These series with 45W+ are thereby intended for enthusiasts and “high-performance gaming laptops”. The Ryzen 7 7745HX isn’t the lowest SKU in the entire [...]
The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D is the upcoming 16-core/32-thread processor that comes with 64 MB of 3D V-cache. This is the flagship Ryzen CPU for the AM5 socket, which is scheduled for release later this month. The processor was tested on the ASUS X670E Hero motherboard and together with 32 GB of DDR5 memory with unknown speed. The Geekbench data shows [...]
The 12-core Ryzen 9 7900X3D is one of the three planned Zen4 desktop CPUs with integrated 3D V-cache. The processors each have an additional memory chip with 64 MB of extra cache, which should provide a noticeable boost during certain workloads, including games. The processor was just found in the Ashes of the Singularity benchmark database, where [...]
Let’s first look back: Intel’s nevertheless very successful HEDT line ended in 2019 with the Core X series, almost 3 years ago. Since then, the company has launched three complete generations of mobile and desktop CPUs, but completely ignored the HEDT platform. In the meantime, the Core desktop chips of the 13th generation offer a high [...]
Der8auer visited Intel labs where the company’s current and upcoming processors are tested. In doing so, he explains the structure of the Intel reference platform used for testing and the capabilities these motherboards offer Intel engineers. Most of these features are not available to users (and never will be). Der8auer shows Intel’s [...]
Four new PCI device IDs were found, which do not belong to any of the currently known NVIDIA graphics cards. The designations are in no way official, but have been suggested by the operators of the PCI ID database, who often receive initial information earlier. Allegedly, four new mobile GPUs will be launched soon, each with a different GPU model: [...]
The “Rocket Lake-S” series of the 11. Core generation is now on its final way to the virtual Intel graveyard. This week Intel released a “Product Change Notification” informing about the upcoming change. This affects a large number of desktop and workstation CPUs based on this architecture. The production shutdown process [...]
AMD has already proven how much 3D V-cache can benefit gamers with the Ryzen 7 5800 X3D and is now in the starting blocks to present its second-generation 3D V-cache chips with the Ryzen 7000 X3D. The Zen4 3D V-cache CPUs launching later this month could likely bring similarly massive performance gains in the gaming space, and masn is good at [...]
A Chinese tech outlet provides another leak showing AMD’s upcoming 8-core Zen4 architecture processors. Just yesterday, the same account published the very first results of the integrated Radeon 780M RDNA3 GPU in 3DMark TimeSpy, to today also publish the first CPU benchmarks. Going by the name Ryzen 7 7840HS, the processor is an 8-core / 16 [...]
Even though Intel will launch these new processors under the Xeon brand, they are the spiritual successors of the long-forgotten Core X series. The future Xeon W2400 and W3400 series will not only have many more cores based on the latest architecture, but also support all modern technologies like DDR5 or PCIe Gen5. This is undoubtedly an important [...]
