According to kkj.cn, the 7-nm process of Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC), China’s most advanced and largest manufacturing facility, will start with small series production in the fourth quarter. Compared to 14 nm, SMIC’s N+1 process improves performance by 20%, reduces power consumption by 57%, decreases [...]

Surprise? It seems that Intels have the CPUs that are on the 10th. generation will follow as 11. generation in the name scheme. This is certainly not surprising information, but rather boring, but it shows a different (more predictable) approach to product naming than NVIDIA (GeForce 10 -> GeForce 20) and AMD (Radeon 500 -> Radeon 5000). Constant [...]
Small cattle also makes crap. And sometimes it's crap. The housing itself was cheap and not even so bad…
As you've probably read somewhere, Intel has the upcoming Core series of the 10th. Generation for enthusiast notebooks (such as comet Lake-H) for tomorrow's 2nd April announced. This series will take advantage of the well-known 14 nm manufacturing process and offer up to 8 cores. The flagship processor codenamed Core i9-10980KH will be an [...]
Micron's latest earnings report also includes information that the company will soon begin production of High Bandwidth Memory (HBM2). Although it seems a little late for this, Micron's presence in the storage market is likely to leave a positive impression on the end customer. Micron announces that it is working with Samsung and SK Hynix [...]
Yesterday, AMD launched the Ryzen 4000 Mobile CPUs already presented at CES 2020. Some notebooks with the brand new chips are already available for order. Initial tests show the flagship Ryzen 9 4900H(S) is a huge leap in performance compared to the last generation. Obviously, with the same consumption, the Renoir-baptized CPUs can leave [...]
I am continuing my little retrospective today and we see once again that everything can still be increased!
The Start is the Chieftec FI-01W ("Flyer"), into which I installed a rather fast HTPC in 2012.
The part has already irritated me, if only because of the size, which should have been called small. Well, the Corsair One is completely custom loop, but here I don't have the Frickelei with the watered graphics card. On a footprint of just under 19 x 19 cm and a height of just under 39 cm, the H1 from NZXT is quite compact. In addition, there [...]
Since a lot is currently in a state of upheaval, the logistics with the planned samples for the planned tests has unfortunately made a dent in my bill and I am therefore working in parallel on several extensive projects, which also want to be realized, but cost a lot of time, I do it like the public TV channels: I reach into the archive and get [...]
Intel's platform, codenamed Rocket Lake-S, is currently not expected until the end of 2020, but rumors about the RLK-S platform have been circulating on the web for some time. Now, thanks to their sources at Inte, Viudeocardz's colleagues have been able to provide some more concrete information about this new platform. The leaked diagram [...]
The Folding@home project has been using the computing power voluntarily provided by users for years for simulations that help to develop drugs. For current reasons, it has been decided to use computing power for research into the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus in order to search for a cure or a vaccine for the COVID19 disease caused by the virus. If you [...]
In order to get even more out of the assembled system, of course, one or the other clock screw was also turned. It has been important to me that no utopian values are presented, which may not be reproducible to the reader in the end. I am well aware that in some places it is guaranteed that a little more could be extracted. But nobody has won [...]
According to wccftech.com, the first AMD Ryzen 4000 'Renoir' desktop CPUs are obviously already in circulation and one of these copies has now been discovered by the hardware supplier _Rogame. The Ryzen 4000 'Renoir' CPUs (essentially an APU) are based on the 7 nm architecture and are equipped with the new Zen 2 CPU and improved [...]
After the choice of the platform and the components has been made in the first part, this part is now about the assembly of the system. This is not a perfect step-by-step guide with the claim of absolute completeness, but only a loose summary in the order in which I usually mount my systems. At this point, of course, I also refer to the first part [...]
Who measures a lot measures crap. This rule applies as long as one does not actively deal with the circumstances and requirements and is not prepared to invest a lot – mostly private – time in its exploration. I started working more intensively on the power consumption of graphics cards in 2014 and to find a really good solution. In [...]
Preface The dream of an arrow-fast gaming PC with dizzying frame rates at high resolutions with maximum detail remains unfulfillable for many readers. Graphics cards beyond the 1000€, CPUs and boards for several hundred euros – not everyone can or does not want to afford that. But does it necessarily have to be the nonplusultra to achieve a [...]
Intel's CFO George Davis showed up at Morgan Stanley's TMT conference, having a refreshingly honest and open discussion with the analysts present about the 10 nm process. The company revealed that it plans to press ahead with the 10+ process this year, but also warned that 10 nm as a node "simply won't be the best node Intel has [...]
I had already mentioned in the article "Intel Core i9 vs. AMD Ryzen 9: How convex or concave are the current heatspreaders really and what are the consequences?" roughly torn, where I see the problem of the so-called IHS. The feedback from the readers was very positive, with voices also being heard calling for a more accurate [...]
RGB is everywhere today – fans, components, input devices, even toilet lids (no joke!) are already available with RGB lighting. In some respects, I can even understand the trend: the play of colours is usually pretty to look at and individually adaptable to your own preferences. Unfortunately, however, integration also makes many parts [...]
Today I just grab my Fractal shelf and build with Dirty an AMD gaming PC with the ryzen 7 3700X and a Sapphire Notro RX 5700XT Nitro+ on an MSI MEG X570 ACE. All this is cooled and supplied with components from Fractal – if so, then we do it as always also varietal. In addition, there are benchmarks, temperatures and the assessment of the [...]
