[ad_1] The most popular GPU among Steam users today, NVIDIA’s venerable GTX 1060, is capable of performing 4.4 teraflops, the soon-to-be-usurped 2080 Ti can handle around 13.5 and the upcoming Xbox Series X can manage 12. These numbers are calculated by taking the number of shader cores in a chip, multiplying that by the peak […]

Intel’s 7nm CPUs are delayed, won’t arrive until at least 2022
[ad_1] Intel is accelerating its transition to 10nm products this year with increasing volumes and strong demand for an expanding line up. This includes a growing portfolio of 10nm-based Intel Core processors with “Tiger Lake” launching soon, and the first 10nm-based server CPU “Ice Lake,” which remains planned for the end of this year. In […]
AMD’s 4700G APU is a mid-range PC on a single chip
[ad_1] AMD There are three new 4000G APUs to cover in today’s announcement, each available in two configurations. The flagship model is the 8-core/16-thread Ryzen 7 4700G, which has a base clock of 3.6GHz and a (single-core) boost clock of 4.4GHz. These core/thread counts and frequencies are identical to the Ryzen 7 3700X desktop chip. […]
Dell’s XPS Desktop fits NVIDIA and AMD graphics inside a smaller case
[ad_1] Dell Inside, there’s support for Intel’s latest 10th-generation desktop processors, with Dell offering both the i9-10900K and more value-oriented i5-10600K as options. Unfortunately, you can’t configure the desktop with an AM4 motherboard, so AMD’s Ryzen processors are off the table. To round out the system, it can also feature up to 128GB of RAM. […]
Do Apple’s new Mac chips mean ARM has won?
[ad_1] RISC stands for “Reduced Instruction Set Computing,” and it was developed in the early ‘80s to fix a lot of the problems in early processors. As chips got more complex, they also became harder to program for, more error prone and less efficient. RISC tried to streamline chip design by simplifying the instructions — […]
Lenovo’s new ThinkPad E14 and E15 pack AMD’s powerful Ryzen 4700 chips
[ad_1] With video calling now a daily fact of life for most people, Lenovo has added dedicated hotkeys to launch Microsoft Teams or Skype for Business, as well as dual-array far-field microphones. Rounding out the list of improvements is optional support for WiFi 6 connectivity. You’ll be able to purchase the ThinkPad E14 and E15 […]
Can Intel’s 10th-gen desktop CPUs compete?
[ad_1] Things actually get a bit more interesting as you move down the line, though. The i7-10700K is essentially the same chip as that 9900K, an 8-core, 16-thread 5Ghz processor that should retail for about $100 less. In fact, all the core chips down to i3 now feature hyperthreading, which can boost performance in certain […]
Apple finally offers a reasonably priced graphics upgrade for the Mac Pro
[ad_1] Apple has teased the prospect of a more affordable GPU upgrade for the Mac Pro for months, and now it’s finally here. As 9to5Mac noticed, you can now configure the Mac Pro with one or two Radeon Pro W5700X video cards, each with 16GB of memory. They’re still not cheap upgrades at $600 and […]
MSI’s new laptops include 10th-gen Intel CPUs and RTX Super graphics
[ad_1] MSI Similarly, NVIDIA’s new Super series laptop GPUs aren’t a huge change from the already excellent RTX cards you could buy inside of notebooks last year. Both the RTX 2080 Super and RTX 2070 Super have additional CUDA cores compared to their non-Super counterparts but feature slower boost clock speeds. However, they include NVIDIA’s new Dynamic […]
Xbox Series X and PS5: The new consoles are all about crazy fast storage
[ad_1] The Xbox One and PS4 were the start of an unusual console generation. Both systems adopted very “PC-like” architecture and instead of a new generation we instead got a refresh where Microsoft and Sony both released faster versions of their existing consoles, the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X. We may still have a […]
