As always, the following is to be enjoyed with caution, but for the sake of completeness it should not be forgotten. Intel's 14nm Skylake architecture has now reached a peak with Comet Lake CPUs, requiring Intel to focus on the next-generation cores that will be deployed in upcoming desktop and mobile CPUs. Skylake is now a true generational [...]

Intel's first discrete graphics card with the Xe DG1 GPU was tested in the 3DMark benchmark and discovered by Von TUM_APISAK in the Firestrike benchmark. Here, the Xe DG1 shows a performance that surpasses all existing integrated GPUs, while it can, at least to some extent, match the discrete entry level cards of the competition. No more, but [...]
Intel's Phantom Canyon NUC 11 Extreme, which will use the next generation of next-generation 10nm Tiger Lake CPUs, has now been sighted in 3DMark for the first time and Rogame's result has been released on Hardware Leaks. This news not only reveals the specifications, but also the performance values that one could expect from this small [...]
There is currently a lot of movement in the information jungle and so this week a lot of things were buzzing through the air like Matisse 2.0, Refresh, answer to Intel’s Comet-Lake-S, Ryzen 7 3750X and 3850X or 3700XT to 3900XT. First of all I deliberately kept out of it and rather asked questions, collected my own appetizers and then tried [...]
But I live in the here and now and there it has become (as so often) a bit tight with time, but of course something will be finished. Actually, there was a little bit more planned, but there was the sampling god and a more complex motherboard conversion planned, which almost cost me an extra day. Since it’s not a sponsored sample, it will be [...]
Let’s start with the new “Renoir” desktop APUs, about which I had already reported in detail in the article “All technical data of AMD’s new “Renoir” desktop APU portfolio for AM4 at a glance“. Here, the variants mentioned from OEM circles are increasing in number and the already known Ryzen 7 4700G [...]
Well, I’m not really a “LisaLeaks” with my website, but the slides from AMD’s “Power and Thermal Data Sheet” for Renoir, which were kindly sent to me from a nice source today, do not lack a certain amount of explosiveness. To be fair, I have to preface this with the fact that it is a pure feature list of [...]
The whole thing is a bit speculative, but nothing is set in stone when it comes to not missing the connection. A possible list of 5 nm products planned by TSMC has already been confirmed by ChinaTimes and you can find many things on them that you had already suspected: AMD's Zen 4 CPUs and Radeon RDNA 3 graphics processors as well as [...]
ASRock always has some idea at its disposal and if it is the newly emerged overturning the TDP limits of Intel CPUs that do not have an open multiplier. If you were hurtful, you would probably articulate this Base Frequency Boost (BFB) more towards sales aid for the last coarsely knitted 14 nm CPUs, but the idea behind it has something, because it [...]

AMD's next big CPU introduction for the desktop segment will be the Zen 2-based Ryzen 4000 'Renoir' APU line. What makes these CPUs really interesting now is the fact that they should provide a good balance of graphics and processor cores in the same housing, enabling low-cost PC builds that are able to play in different applications [...]
The fact that AMD would beat competitor Intel precisely with what would otherwise always have to be used as a headline argument by the core faction is not without a certain irony. Four cores, but with SMT and in one case even with neat turbo-stroke on the four pots are enough to make the normal gamer reasonably happy. From 109 euros the party with [...]
I just had to write down the following now, because I neither like the usual conspiracy theories about alleged constraints (although Intel has provided enough reasons for this in the past), nor do I find many forum discussions fair, which once again show that among many forists there seem to be more experts than capable engineers in the [...]
Well, from a purely technical point of view, Comet Lake-S is actually the generation 9.5 and not the tenth, because the real changes concern the base and the chipset rather than the actual piece of silicon. But that together with the Z490 chipset, which is also officially launched today, you can read something like a small evolution in the article [...]
Intel's Comet Lake-S is just getting started and of course you need a new base (again). Note: You can never have enough pins and with the features it looks similar. So what exactly awaits the potential buyer? First of all, the Z490 boards will rely on the new socket 1200. There is also an I/O extension, especially pcI Express 4.0 support [...]
According to AMD, the new AMD Ryzen 3 3100 and 3300X offer twice as many multitasking capabilities as previous generations with four cores and eight threads, opening up completely new perspectives in Mainsteram. At the same time, the new B550 chipset for the AM4 socket now also offers the bandwidth advantages of the PCIe 4.0 on cheaper mainstream [...]
Counterfeiting and CPU fraud have not only been around since yesterday, especially in the retail market. But according to HKEPC’s latest report, it now looks like the big tech companies themselves are falling victim to these scams. The report mentions that Chinese-based shopkeepers and resellers have tried to send massive amounts of [...]
The performance and temperature values of another Intel CPU of the 10th Generation from the Comet Lake desktop portfolio have been leaked and this time it is the Core i9-10900F, a 10-core processor with an official TDP of 65 watts. But as we all know by now, these TDPs at Intel are almost always derived from the base clock and not from the actual [...]
Currently there is a very large selection of processors, be it from the blue Intel or the red AMD bearing. But what do you actually need for everyday work, gambleors or a few pictures or pictures? To edit videos from the holiday? Does it have to be the Intel Core i9-9900k or the Ryzen 9 3900X from AMD? Do I need a Ryzen of the 3. Generation? Maybe [...]
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 [...]
