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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
We already know it from many (also mine) articles about cooling, thermal paste and heatspreader: really plan is really nothing. And while the quality of the radiator floors has really improved over the years, one would finally have to question the current CPUs again, or not? That's exactly what I did in a small test setup today, because my [...]
After many measurement series and invested hours, the article about the power consumption of the Ryzen 9 3950X was (just) finished. The CPU, which AMD collected again this morning by courier for the rotation between the editorial staffs, was even somewhat warm, because I had to break off the tests now unfortunately. For this reason, there will be [...]
