As a trained GDR citizen, one was always faced with the dilemma of what would be better for the personal zero number: a packed shop window and an empty wallet or an empty shop window and a bulging purse. The latter was almost always the case in the East. Well, except for a few privileged people who were more valuta-doped than the aluminium chip [...]

Many people were certainly annoyed by the somewhat sparse sampling, even those who had expected me to take a complete test at the launch. The fact that this was not possible may also be due to AMD's new sampling strategy and the fact that none of the dealers have a CPU before the 25.11. was allowed to give. Genereral verdongelung on all fronts [...]
Epyc 2 has long been in the wild and is allowed to snatch away Intel's Xeons one or the other server loot. Now also Threadripper 3 with a new chipset, about which there were long discussions in the run-up, especially since the boards have also inherited the small chipset fan from the X570 platform. However, the SP3 server socket no longer [...]
After all, the real availability for AMD's new consumer flagship, which AMD is announcing for 25/11/2019, has finally become concrete. This means that we are almost three months behind the market launch, which was announced in the summer, but it is still in time to fully enter the Christmas business. Incidentally, this is exactly the day when [...]
The previous practice of real-time measurements (even over longer periods of time) only with the oscillographs is certainly not bad and it also allows deep insights into the switching behavior of graphics cards and CPUs due to the high resolution, but it is always only possible possible to capture a sub-area of the overall system. Interactions [...]
Although the current special edition of the Intel Core i9-9900K (almost exclusively) may fetch the imaginary crown of the fastest consumer CPU in gaming scenarios, I, as a responsible reviewer, retain a certain, very bland Taste back, so I deliberately decided against a test. Apart from the poor ratio of performance per euro or watt and a [...]
The largest possible CPU on the smallest possible motherboard, best still remove all the heat sinks of the voltage regulators and that's the basis for the next YouTube orgy. Of course, I couldn't completely escape my curiosity about the possible limits, but in the end one should also be aware of his responsibility as a medium and not panic the [...]
Intel has the 10th place in the high-end desktop sector. generation of the Gen Core-X series. So far, so unexcited, because the processors codenamed Cascade Lake-X will use the long-known Skylake architecture, which is still manufactured in the old 14 nm process technology. And you probably can't thank AMD enough for some price pressure [...]
The way is the goal, but you could also say abbreviated learning curve. The Alphacool ice block XPX Aurora Pro Plexi Digital RGB is certainly such a typical product for this genre, because it combines at the end a probably previously underestimated Alphacool ice block XPX Pro 1U with addressable RGB and a modified exterior. This may well please if [...]
Sometimes the best methods fail on the largest surface and that's why I once looked more intensively at the optimal method. Now with "Try and Error" you can apply paste again and again and then measure it elaborately, because you don't see how the paste actually spreads with the cooler applied. Well, really not? Me already! The [...]
An exclusive video of the warm-up process shows a Ryzen of the 3. generation and the two hotspots. The existence of a thermal protection circuit of the I/O Die would remain to be questioned. The CPU should be used at approx. 120 degrees just switch off, but the risk of a counter-test was too high for me. And how to mount the water block for a [...]
Active euthanasia is highly controversial, only that many end users deliberately hide it when choosing the motherboard. After a thick CPU and graphics card, the space for the substructure is often limited and you reach thoughtlessly into the cheap shelf and wonder about barbecue products of the unsightly kind.
During testing with various X570 motherboards and the Ryzen 2 and Ryzen 3 models, I noticed that there are considerable differences between the water temperature and the die temperature (Delta), even though I have set a fixed power limit of 95 watts in the Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO). Counter-tests as a measurement at the EPS connector [...]
To avoid misunderstandings, Ryzen 3000 will also run on older motherboards after BIOS updates, just not with PCIE 4.0 and often not quite as efficient. AmD therefore admonishes the board manufacturers not only to hide power consumption values in the CPU lists, but also to adjust the limitation to the possible OC or to explicitly exclude this [...]
When testing the new AMD Ryzen 3000 CPUs, we found a significant difference in write rates between the R9 3900X and the R7 3700X in the aidA64 storage benchmarks. After initial astonishment and theoretical assumptions, AMD has now confirmed that it is indeed a conscious choice of architecture.
With the first Generation of Ryzen, AMD has shown that end-user CPUs need to be limited to four cores and eight threads. Ryzen Gen. 2 introduced broader support for higher memory clock speeds thanks to optimized Zen architecture and gradually expanded market spread through competitive pricing. The third generation of Ryzen CPUs, at least on paper [...]
How loud are the fans on the chipset coolers for the new X570 chipset really? This is a question that I have also asked myself and the reason for a deeper research into what is really at stake with the supposed wind machines.
AMD CEO Lisa Su recently announced the new Ryzen 3000 series at Computex 2019, but left a single, official announcement for the Next Horizon Gaming Tech Day in Los Angeles: that of the Ryzen 9 3950X with 16 cores (32 threads) for an EIA of 749 USD. This new processor will hit the shelves in September and there were also other details about the new [...]
Intel recently had to admit another speculative error in side-channel execution in many processors. The vulnerability affects most of the company’s processor SKUs since 2008, with the exception of the 8th-ranked chips. and 9. Generation to which Intel announced that they would already include hardware implementations against this error. The [...]
TUM_APISAK, a respected leaker in the hardware scene who often doesn't specify sources but has never been seriously dad, has the purported specifications for AMD's upcoming Ryzen 3000 series 16-core processor, which is based on the Zen 2 processor microarchitecture and the 7nm process node based, tweeted. The chip, an engineering sample [...]
Something is happening again in the field of supercomputers, and so AMD and Cray presented today the probably fastest supercomputer in the world and want to take another step towards the Exascale era. For those who can't (yet) do anything with this term, it's the next order of money available. Simulations with the highest accuracy are then [...]
As you know by now, I also do on YouTube. But more and more technology in the same space? I work with OBS and this is where AMD comes in with its APU and ASRock with the matching mini PC in the form of the DeskMini A300. Assembling and finished? Almost, because you can still optimize your own...
Yes, you get annoyed (and wonder) when AMD has been announcing technology and solutions for mobile devices for years and you have to look for them every time you trade the magnifying glass. If you find anything at all. My colleague Usman Pirzada from wccftech.com has investigated this very question and can confirm with further details exactly what [...]
