The problem that low-end SKUs are outshone by flagship SKUs at similar power consumption above a certain range because they have more power reserves is generally known and documented. This became a real issue two GeForce generations ago, forcing NVIDIA and laptop manufacturers to disclose more information about the TBP (Total Board Power) of each [...]
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 AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX is a 12-core, 24-thread processor based on the Raphael architecture (codenamed Dragon Range). This hybrid of mobile and desktop processor will probably power most high-end gaming laptops based on AMD hardware, such as Alienware m16/m18, ASUS ROG Strix or Lenovo Legion. According to AMD, these CPUs should work with TDPs of [...]
The final driver for the integrated RDNA3 graphics is probably still a few weeks away. Nevertheless, some preliminary results on the Bilibili platform with the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS processor, codenamed Phoenix, have now been published. This processor type features the latest AMD architectures like the Zen4 CPU with 8 cores and RDNA3 for graphics [...]
This week, Jarrod’s Tech is at it again. The YouTube channel had the opportunity to show the performance of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 laptop GPU, which will be used in the upcoming Razer Blade 16 gaming laptop. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 laptop GPU is insanely fast compared to the RTX 3080 Ti for both gaming and workload creation. An [...]
A notebook in my test – what’s up? Yes, there is always a first time. By chance, I became aware of the product and thought to myself: Hey, there is an OLED display and quite potent hardware installed. I’ll definitely have to check that out. I have to say that I was most interested in the OLED panel. So, I sent a request to MSI [...]
We already had all the relevant information about the Ryzen 6000 for mobile use at CES, but AMD has now added some more details. Zen3+ features the improved Zen 3 cores with up to 5 GHz clock and a new RDNA 2 graphics with a targeted doubling of performance. The whole thing is manufactured in TSMC’s N6 and also features a completely new [...]

I have something very interesting for my readers today and I am taking over the article from my friend Usman Pirzada more or less in the original, so I have also put him as the actual author. After all, it’s his work and not mine. Surely a simple quote and the usual paraphrasing of a news story wouldn’t have been fair enough there [...]
The fact that China’s most important container ports are only operating at half power and that we are probably heading for the next global supply disaster is extremely worrying, but it is not even the reason for the component problem discussed here in the second part. But first let us come to the general situation. Due to a recent outbreak [...]
Sometimes it’s the really small things that fail and even such a small, quite unknown cog in the gearbox can stop a whole machine in its tracks. The chip shortage is not a new topic, but now the whole notebook manufacturers are threatened by new trouble from a quite unexpected corner. Intel had not only launched a new notebook CPU with Tiger [...]
"Hope you enjoyed all the new technologies we announced at #computex 2021. We are so proud of our @AMD Ryzen desktop APUs, @Radeon mobile GPUs, FidelityFX Super Resolution, and our brand new 3D chiplet technology – the best in high-performance computing!!!" (Dr. Lisa Su on Twitter)
In the first part of my review, I took a look at the XMG Ultra 17 barebone inside, the whole thing powered by an Intel Core i9-11900K. assembled and really stressed out. Today we have the missing gaming benchmarks, a few applications and the efficiency review of the GeForce 3080 laptop, which has a (positive) surprise in store. Considering all the [...]
Today we build ourselves a notebook! Well, I don’t want to exaggerate, but that’s the beauty of such a barebone: you can actually put in what you would like to have (or think you have to have). Based on the Clevo X170KM-G, that’s no secret, I simply assembled the XMG Ultra 17 myself once, and again, there’s not a dry eye in [...]
Again Notebook Weeks at Igor’s Lab? Well, sort of yes and no, but I’ve now had the chance to at least take a longer inventory in direct comparison of two very similar notebooks, the one tested today containing the successor to the RTX 2080 Super Max-Q tested at the time. A notebook isn’t a desktop PC with a beast of a CPU and is [...]
The first block diagram of AMD's Ryzen 5000 "Cezanne" APUs based on the Zen 3 architecture has been leaked by now Videocardz. The block diagram shows that AMD's Ryzen 5000 'Cezanne' APUs will feature some major design changes compared to the current generation and are not just a simple refresh of the current 3rd Gen Ryzen [...]
It appears that AMD and its major partners are already internally testing several RDNA 2-based Radeon RX 6000M mobile GPUs, so that initial information about a discrete Navi23 and Navi24 chip for the laptop segment has been leaked. After first reports from Twitter insider and leaker Patrick Schur, AMD is working on several mobile SKUs based on the [...]
2020 was actually a first-class year for technological innovation, but it will probably also go down in history as the year of the ultimate frustration of discouraged consumers, when the target group will end up not being able to buy what has been on their wish list for a long time: graphics cards and processors, power supplies and last but not [...]
Somehow by chance and rather unconsciously we arrived at the laptop-weeks, but the picture fits together nicely. Yesterday we tested an Apex 15 from XMG and thought about 6 possible CPUs (“A barebone against 6 CPUs – which Ryzen processor fits best in the XMG Apex 15?”). Today I will prove that in many creative and productive [...]
I am as coreZair in various forums and as 3DAndStuff on my YouTube channel. But today I am writing this article for you as a guest author. In addition to my YouTube videos, I would like to share the results of some of my research with you. The XMG Apex 15, a notebook that is equipped with an AM4 desktop socket and supports current Zen2 desktop [...]
