[ad_1] The 3990X will likely be AMD’s workstation answer to its server-oriented EPYC 7742. As such, it’ll have eight chiplets with eight cores each, while the 24- and 32-core 3960X and 3970X CPUs we saw earlier have four chiplets with four and six cores, respectively. We still don’t know if the 3990X will have eight-channel […]

Surface Laptop 3 review (15-inch): Bigger, but not always betterÂ
[ad_1] Clearly, AMD was able to craft a chip that can do more than what you’d find on a Typical ultraportable. Intel’s latest 10th Gen CPUs feature more powerful integrated graphics than ever before, but they still can’t compare to these custom Ryzens that borrow components from the Radeon RX Vega 11 dedicated GPU. Mission […]
Intel discontinues its processors with AMD graphics
[ad_1] The move isn’t exactly unexpected. Kaby Lake-G was an “enemy of my enemy is my friend” design meant to counter NVIDIA’s laptop graphics by mating an 8th-generation Core processor with an AMD GPU that could outperform Intel’s then-current integrated video. Few PC makers saw fit to use it, though, and follow-ups to those systems […]
AMD delays 16-core Ryzen 9 CPU to November
[ad_1] We hope you weren’t determined to build an all-out AMD gaming rig in September. AMD has delayed the release of its 16-core Ryzen 9 3950X processor by two months to sometime in November. The company wants to meet “strong demand” for the highly parallel CPU, the company said in a statement to AnandTech. In […]
Build the PC of your dreams… on PS4, Xbox and Switch
[ad_1] It also features a full-fledged story mode in which you, the player, take over your uncle’s repair shop. Think: Stardew Valley, but with a PC repair shop instead of a farm, and altogether less bucolic. It’s a classic started from the bottom tale in which one of the first tasks the player must complete […]
Are Intel’s 10nm Ice Lake CPUs worth the wait?
[ad_1] Welcome to the latest episode of Upscaled, our explainer show where we look at the parts that make our favorite tech faster. In this episode we’re testing Intel’s 10th gen, 10nm CPUs. Smaller transistors are one of the ways companies can speed up a chip, and Intel has been trying to get its transition […]
AMD Ryzen 3000 systems need a BIOS fix for Linux, ‘Destiny 2’ issues
[ad_1] Last week AMD officially released its new Ryzen 3000 Series CPUs and Radeon RX 5700 graphics cards, but there’s a small problem with the CPUs. As some Linux users quickly noticed, there’s an issue with newer distributions based on 5.0 or higher that makes the OS unable to boot. Some people have been able […]
AMD brings the fight back to NVIDIA
[ad_1] What matters most, of course, is what’s under the hood: AMD’s RDNA architecture, previously known to enthusiasts as “Navi.” The Radeon 5700 and 5700 XT are built on a 7 nanometer process, which makes them more efficient than the 14nm Vega. This isn’t a first for AMD — the beefy Radeon VII, which remains […]
AMD fires back at ‘Super’ NVIDIA with Radeon 5700 price cuts
[ad_1] AMD just unveiled its new Radeon 5700 line of graphics cards with 7nm chips at E3 last month, and with just days to go before they launch on July 7th, the company has announced new pricing. In the “spirit” of competition that it says is “heating up” in the graphics market — specifically NVIDIA’s […]
NVIDIA’s new RTX Super cards are a pre-emptive strike on AMD
[ad_1] RTX 2060 Super The first meaning of “Super” is “similar to card already on sale, but better.” That’s a lot like the Ti moniker NVIDIA often uses, and it accurately describes the most changed of the new cards, the RTX 2060 Super. The new card comes in at $399 — $50 more than the […]
