AMD recently unveiled and shared more details regarding its upcoming Ryzen 7000 series desktop CPU and AM5 motherboards. The Ryzen 7000 series CPUs are based on the new Zen 4 architecture. It uses TSMC’s 5nm fabrication process and its AM5 motherboards will support PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 memory. There are a lot of “5” here, …
When AMD introduced the uniquely-designed AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, AMD dubbed it the “world’s fastest gaming processor”. However, the Intel Core i9-12900K CPU is (also) holding that title. Based on various reviews from different media outlets, the Core i9-12900K has proven itself to be the fastest gaming CPU currently available. Recently, reviews of the Ryzen …
After several rumors and leaks, and Newegg inadvertently posting the i9-12900KS ahead of its launch, Intel has officially announced its latest flagship processor. The Core i9-12900KS is a binned version of the Core i9-12900K. If you are not familiar with binned chips, it means that the KS variant has a better silicone chip than the …
Early this year, AMD announced that they will be releasing a unique Zen3 CPU that features AMD’s 3D V-cache. Today, AMD announces the pricing and release date of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. In addition, AMD also announced 6 “new” processors: Ryzen 7 5700X, Ryzen 5 5600 and 5500; Ryzen 5 4600G, 4500, and Ryzen 3 …
I guess the most exciting product AMD announced at CES 2002 is the Zen4-based AMD Ryzen 7000 Raphael CPU. Unlike AMD’s previous processors, the Ryzen 7000 will be a completely different CPU with an interesting IHS design and a new socket type. It uses a Land Grid Array socket type and is based on TSMC’s …
At CES 2022, AMD’s CEO Lisa Su announced several products including the Radeon RX 6500 XT graphics card. AMD also announced an “improved” Ryzen 5800 CPU featuring AMD’s 3D V-Cache technology – the Ryzen 7 5800X3D CPU. AMD claims that this CPU is “up to 15% faster” than the Ryzen 9 5900X and “up to …
Recently, @Apisak from Twitter tweeted a CPU-Z screenshot revealing the CPU single thread and multi-thread score of the upcoming 12th gen Intel Core i7-1200K Alder Lake CPU. Unlike previous generations of CPUs, the 12th Gen Alder Lake processors feature a hybrid design. In particular, the Core i7-1200K has a total of 12 cores; 8 performance cores …
Last week, Intel “secretly” released a series of 11th Intel Core processors that are based on the 10nm node process and Tiger Lake architecture. In theory, this should be better and perhaps more efficient than the Rocket Lake CPUs that are based on a 14nm+++ process. These Tiger Lake processors are denoted by a “B” …
Intel‘s latest 11th Gen Rocket Lake CPUs are now available. Reviews went live starting end of March, and it was not looking good for the “flagship” i9-11900K. Most reviewers did not recommend the i9-11900K since it’s expensive, power-hungry, and runs very hot. On the flip side, the Core i5-11600K was faring well against the Ryzen …
IBM recently announced its breakthrough in semiconductor process and design with the world’s first chip featuring 2 nanometers (nm) nanosheet technology. While we have seen substantial performance gains and efficiency that a 7nm fab process can offer, IBM’s 2nm even push those numbers to a new level. IBM’s 2nm is said to offer up to …
