According to the renowned overclocker 1usmus, the upcoming AMD Ryzen 9000 “Zen 5” CPUs come with a new overclocking function called Curve Shaper. This extension of the existing Curve Optimizer enables much finer control over the voltage-frequency curves (VFCurves) of the CPUs and thus promises more precise overclocking and improved [...]
Perhaps some of you will remember. AMD made a number of announcements at this year’s Computex. Be it its new Ryzen 9000 “Granite Ridge” series or its new AI Ryzen 300 chips. But alongside all these announcements, a new update has also been released. This is the Ryzen 5000XT series, in which AMD has given the AM4 socket another [...]
Some of you may remember our recent article in which we wrote that the first MSI mainboards have received a BIOS update. An important update here is that stability and performance problems for the Ryzen 9000 “Granite Ridge” are said to have been improved. We also mentioned that no price or date has yet been listed. Now the new CPU has [...]
Analogous to my last news about Intel’s stability problems with the 13th and 14th generation K processors, the long-awaited statement from Intel appeared yesterday, which has now been published on Reddit and confirms my publication on Saturday. Sometimes you just have to push a little bit to get the blue giant to make a move 😉 Intel comments [...]
What do you think it means when Intel provides a document with the title “Title Enhanced Thermal Velocity Boost (eTVB) May Miscalculate Frequency Limits” and the subline “Issue Description An incorrect frequency limit calculation may allow the processor to operate at a high frequency state at a high temperature” [...]
In exciting news for tech enthusiasts and overclockers, leaked benchmarks of the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X “Zen 5” desktop CPU show that the “small” chip can be operated with a decent overclock of 5.7 GHz on all six cores. This results in a performance boost of up to 14 percent compared to the already powerful Ryzen 5 7600X. [...]
AI is changing the world and plays a role in an infinite number of areas of life. It is almost impossible to imagine the world of hardware without it and it is constantly evolving. We also have to evolve ourselves, which is why Intel is presenting a new solution or option for this. Intel announced new details about its upcoming Lunar Lake at this [...]
Today, AMD held a keynote at this year’s Computex. At this trade fair, AMD presented its new AI chip. The AMD Instinct MI325X. Let’s take a brief look at the history of AMD’s Accelarator and its future plans. it all started in 2020 with its AMD CDNA MI100 Accelerator. The first purpose-built accelerator for FP64 and FP32 HPC [...]
AMD unveiled some new things for you at this year’s Computex. There are the first technical specifications of its Ryzen 9000 series, small details about its Zen 5 technology, a new AI chip, but a few new chipsets have also been announced. There is also an update on the Ryzen 5000XT series. As you can see, they have a lot up their sleeve [...]
The Strix Halo APU is based on a chiplet design with up to three This shows Olrak_29 on X, two CCDs (Core Chiplets) and one GCD (Graphics Chiplet). This enables flexible configuration and scalable performance. The CCDs offer up to 16 Zen 5 cores with 32 threads and up to 64 MB L3 cache, while the GCD houses the RDNA 3 graphics architecture with up [...]
AMD is ending the use of HS, H and U designations for 15-45W mobile processors and instead introducing the scalable “Ryzen AI” branding, reports Weibo. In a significant move to simplify its mobile processor portfolio, AMD has announced it will discontinue the previous HS, H and U designations for 15-45W TDP (Thermal Design Power) chips [...]
Just a while ago, we reported on the listing of AMD Ryzen 7 8700F and Ryzen 5 8400F CPUs at Canadian and European retailers. Now the company is officially launching the two CPUs, including a price. What to expect from the new APUs? The AMD Ryzen 7 8700F APU is based on an 8-core and 16-thread configuration with the still current Zen 4 architecture [...]
After we published Aris’ article about the power consumption of the Core i9-13900K in Cinebench 23 on Monday, I’m following up today with a larger program scope. And yes, I’m deliberately using a Z690 board because I also used it for the launch of Raptor Lake S and the subsequent refresh. That makes the comparison much easier [...]
There’s been a lot of talk lately about Intel’s potential degradation issues with the high-end 13th and 14th generation CPUs, so I thought I’d use Powenetics and test an i9-13900K under three different power settings: Standard, Performance and Extreme. Then there’s the “Insane” profile, where you set the 4096 [...]
Even though Intel is currently being celebrated for the new BIOS profiles for CPUs from Raptor Lake onwards on all the Z790 mainboards – has anyone ever asked themselves what will happen to the Z690 mainboards, which are also compatible? There’s nothing yet, nothing has been announced and you slowly get the impression that those [...]
