Ryzen AI 7 Pro 160 bests previous-gen Ryzen 9 — chip hits Geekbench with three Zen 5 and five Zen 5c cores
AMD's two new Ryzen AI 9 HX 300 processors are the only Zen 5-based mobile chips on the market so far. But that could change soon; Benchleaks on X (Twitter) has discovered the first non-Ryzen 9 AI-series CPU from AMD in the Geekbench browser, featuring the Ryzen AI 7 Pro 160 with just eight Zen 5/Zen5c cores.Intel could be prepping 24-core Arrow Lake-H processors for notebooks
It looks like Intel is prepping Arrow Lake-H processors for ultra-high-performance gaming notebooks based on the Arrow Lake-S silicon designed for desktops, and featuring up to 24 cores, noticed @InstLatX64 on Twitter/X. If this is the case, this will not be the first time that Intel and partners will install desktop silicon into laptops.Early sample of AMD’s Ryzen 5 9600X is only 12% quicker than Ryzen 5 7600X in CPU-Z benchmark
Following the Ryzen 5 9600X L1 and L2 cache story we wrote earlier today, benchmark results of AMD's new Zen 5 mid-range chip in CPU-Z have cropped up, showing a 12% performance increase for the 9600X over its predecessor, the Ryzen 5 7600X. The new benchmark was discovered by HXL on X (formally Twitter). At first glance, CPU-Z's performance estimations suggest the 9600X's performance is weaker than what AMD claimed in its Computex announcement.AMD to use Samsung’s 3nm tech as it looks to dual-source future chips: report
Samsung Foundry is about to land an order from AMD to make the latter's processors using 3nm-class process technology with gate-all-around field effect transistors (GAAFETs), reports Korea Economic Daily. The information is strictly unofficial and should be taken with a grain of salt. Yet, if the report is accurate, this will mark the first time in recent years that AMD will dual-source its products.Samsung and SK hynix abandon DDR3 production to focus on unrelenting demand for HBM3
Samsung and SK hynix are finally retiring their respective DDR3 production lines for good, according to reports from IT Home. The two Korean memory manufacturers will reportedly stop supplying DDR3 memory to the market by the second half of this year. Both companies are making this change in response to growing demand for AI-optimized HBM3 memory, so Samsung and SK hynix are focusing on more lucrative markets.Intel issues statement about CPU crashes, blames motherboard makers — BIOSes disable thermal and power protection, causing issues
Igor's Lab seems to have obtained a message originally destined for motherboard manufacturers concerning a prolonged stability issue on the company's 13th Generation Raptor Lake and 14th Generation Raptor Lake Refresh chips, which rank among the best CPUs. It made sense for the company to clarify the issue where many blamed the motherboard manufacturers in a race to become 'the fastest' performer by having over-aggressive voltages for allowing higher clock speeds.AMD claims LLMs run up to 79% faster on Ryzen 8040 CPUs compared to Intel’s newest Core Ultra chips
AMD reports that its older Ryzen mobile 7040 Phoenix and Ryzen mobile 8040 series processors outperform Intel’s Core Ultra Meteor Lake CPUs by up to 79% in various large language models (LLMs). The CPU manufacturer unveiled a plethora of benchmarks against Intel’s Core Ultra 7 155H CPU compared to the Ryzen 7 8740U. Both chips sport hardware-based Neural Processing Units (NPUs).Micron shows massive 256GB DDR5-8800 memory sticks — High-capacity double-height 20-watt MCRDIMM modules come in different flavors
Micron demonstrated its massive 256 GB MCR DIMM memory modules this week at the Nvidia-hosted GPU Technology Conference (GTC). These modules are designed for next-generation servers, including those running Intel's Xeon Scalable 'Granite Rapids' processors.MSI details how to make your Intel CPU run cooler without losing performance — recommends disabling CEP
MSI has released new firmware for Intel 600- and 700-series motherboards, which allows you to turn off the CEP (Current Excursion Protection) function. According to the vendor's findings, disabling CEP can make your Intel 14th Generation Raptor Lake Refresh non-K processor run cooler without compromising performance.Arm unveils next-gen Neoverse CPU cores and compute subsystems — hoping to entice more custom silicon customers
Arm on Wednesday announced its next-generation general-purpose CPU cores for datacenter processors. The new Neoverse V3, Neoverse N3, and Neoverse E3 CPU cores are aimed at high-performance computing (HPC), general-purpose CPU instances and infrastructure applications, and edge computing and low-power applications, respectively.
