Intel Xeon Gold 5320H ‘Cooper Lake-SP’ header – 20 cores on one HCC die for LGA 4189 socket with gold plated solder joint

Already in June Intel brought its 3. Gen Xeon Scalable CPU family, also known as the “Cooper Lake”, but still based on the 14nm architecture. Now some people in mainland China (where else?) have gotten their hands on the first QA (Qualified Sample) of Cooper Lake chips, which have an interesting design for the family of LGA 4189 CPUs [...]


Alphacool Eiswolf 2 in a test against a Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti with 300 and 380 watts – with a little initiative an (almost) perfect solution

The market for all-in-one water cooling solutions for graphics cards is still abundantly manageable compared to CPU coolers, although the potential gain over air cooling is significantly higher. Higher boost steps and lower operating noise are only part of the reward, because all other components of the graphics card board also benefit from such [...]


Gaming notebooks in a tight spot: Ryzen 4000 APUs in bandwidth limit, Tiger Lake will probably come with only 4 cores in 2020 for the time being, and Ampere need more speed

I had already mentioned in my article “Why manufacturers are struggling with AMD notebooks, why AMD likes to trip itself up and why the blue conspiracy is not a conspiracy at all | Search for answers“, why notebook manufacturers are still so reluctant to buy AMD CPUs and APUs for mobile applications. But I’ll explain in a moment [...]


Ryzen 9 3900X vs. Ryzen 9 3900XT remeasured – What remains but a little extra clock rate and extra power consumption? Not much…

You have to look hard to find the advantage of the Ryzen 9 3900XT over the Ryzen 9 3900X. The longer such a session runs and also includes different scenarios and a very different thread load (number, load level), the smaller the actual differences become and you have to look very carefully. In order to remain as meaningful as possible and not [...]


AMD's B550 at the maximum: Gigabyte B550 Vision D in review – a bit special, but also pleasantly different

Gigabyte puts a B550 motherboard on the market with the B550 Vision D, which is rather poaching in the nobler upper house with currently a good 260 euro and is partly almost twice as expensive as the cheapest X570 boards. While I still had stomach aches with the Gigabyte B550 Aorus Master to explain the price in a plausible way, the Gigabyte B550 [...]
