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 [...]
When a memory manufacturer launches new DDR5 memory chips on the market, a review from us is naturally not far away. After Micron introduced the 24 Gbit Rev B ICs in the middle of last year, there are now more new additions almost a year later, but this time with 16 Gbit and initially only in products of their own brand, Crucial. The [...]
The HBM industry is experiencing a huge growth spurt, fueled by groundbreaking innovations such as the recent announcement by SK Hynix, the Korean memory giant, which has revealed plans for HBM4E memory, reported EtNews. SK Hynix aims to set new standards with HBM4E by combining semiconductors and memory into a single package. HBM as a key [...]
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 [...]
The next generation of Intel Panther Lake-H CPUs for high-end laptops is ready and promises a significant leap in graphics and AI performance, reports miktdt on X. With up to 12 Xe cores based on the new Celestial “Xe3-LPG” architecture, these CPUs offer 50% more graphics performance compared to the current Meteor Lake chips and the [...]
The company ASUS has rolled out its new BIOS firmware AMD AGESA 1.1.8.0 BIOS firmware for its X670E motherboards. Significant changes due to this update are not apparent for the time being. However, one can assume that this is probably a BIOS firmware update that prepares for the upcoming Zen 5 architecture from AMD. This makes ASUS one of the [...]
Yesterday we reported on the Starship Mini-PC from Acemagic. Now Miniforum is following up with its new AtomMan X7 Mini-PC, which has a 4-inch display and makes a lot of things possible. Acemagic stellt seinen futuristischen Starship Mini-PC vor Let’s move on to the technical details of the Minisforum product. It comes with an Intel Core [...]
AMD recently unveiled a new naming scheme for its upcoming Strix Point APUs reported @harukaze5719 on X, switching to the designation “Ryzen AI HX”. This new nomenclature, which is strongly reminiscent of Intel’s Core Ultra series, marks a clear move towards an AI-centric approach to mobile processors. Strix Point APUs: [...]
Acemagic has expanded its portfolio of interesting mini PCs. Having already presented the extraordinary ACEMAGIC TANK 03, the Acemagic Starship Mini-PC now follows, offering a futuristic design. Acemagic has not revealed any specific technical details. But the design has already been unveiled and it looks very interesting. In any case, it could be [...]
With the View 270 TG ARGB, THERMALTAKE is launching a compact “aquarium” case with a glass front and side panel for less than €100, which, despite its modern look, is able to build on the virtues of its older siblings. Read on to find out whether it succeeds and what has to be sacrificed to achieve this. Even though I don’t like [...]
In a recently published video on Bilibili, an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D CPU with a 192 MB L3 cache was discovered. This is significantly more than the 128 MB found in standard models. The doubling of the 3D V-Cache could lead to a significant performance boost, but also points to a possible engineering sample or a software error. Technical details and [...]
The problem with the Intel desktop processors of the 13th and 14th generation, i.e. Raptor Lake-S and Raptor Lake-S-Refresh, is not getting any smaller and the bad news does not stop. At this point, one could almost believe that Intel has simply left the whole thing to the motherboard manufacturers and is hoping to divert attention away from its [...]
Micron sets new benchmark for the future of data centers with innovative memory solution that pushes the boundaries of AI and HPC applications. Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU) today marks a new milestone in the server industry, taking data center performance to a new level. Micron unveils the industry’s first 128GB DDR5 RDIMM memory [...]
If you follow the various articles on the many small systems here with us, the conclusion has been that Intel can offer decent CPU performance, but AMD is pulling away in terms of GPU. The newer chips with Xe graphics have narrowed the gap, but are nowhere near closing it. This could change today, as a Core Ultra with Arc graphics was allowed to [...]
At an event in China, the MSI Wuhan Station Dragon Shield Technology Salon 2024, the company MSI presented its MAG PANO 100L PZ PLUS case, which is already celebrating its release this month, as IThome reports. The case should therefore have a lot to offer. The MAG PANO M100R/L was released last year and the new housing is now said to be much [...]
It has been known for some time that AMD will be launching its Ryzen 7 8700F and Ryzen 5 8400F in the DIY segment. Thanks to a tip from the leaker momomo_US, a worldwide release is probably also in the starting blocks. The AMD Ryzen 7 8700F and Ryzen 5 8400F are the latest APUs that fit into AMD’s AM5 socket. They are based on the Zen 4 [...]
Some of my articles mature like old wine and it’s certainly not wrong to look at them from time to time, even with current references. This is especially true now with regard to the current “drama” surrounding Intel’s CPUs and the move with the specs for the baseline. Nobody can pretend that Intel didn’t know anything [...]
I have not yet commented on the now ubiquitous investigations and explanations of the problems with Intel’s 13th and 14th generation K-CPUs, because pure speculation brings nothing but more speculation. As I also don’t use any special “OC features” from certain motherboard manufacturers in all launch reviews and also in my [...]
