[ad_1] The latest H-series chips go a bit beyond what we’ve seen with AMD’s 8-core 4800U mobile chips when it comes to overclocking, with clock speeds topping out at 4.4 Ghz. At the same time, it packs the same powerful graphics performance. The 7-nanometer Vega engine already boosts integrated graphics performance by up to 59 […]

AMD CPUs for the past 9 years are vulnerable to data leak attacks
[ad_1] Unlike some side channel attacks, it hasn’t taken long to show how these exploits would work in the real world. The team took advantage of the flaws using JavaScript in common browsers like Chrome and Firefox, not to mention virtual machines in the cloud. While Take A Way only dribbles out a small amount […]
An algorithm could make CPUs a cheap way to train AI
[ad_1] Typically, companies use GPUs as acceleration hardware in implementing deep learning in technology. But this is pricey — top of the line GPU platforms cost around $100,000. Rice researchers have now created a cost-saving alternative, an algorithm called sub-linear deep learning engine (SLIDE) that is able to do the same job of implementing deep […]
Intel is patching its Zombieload CPU security flaw for the third time
[ad_1] Compared to the MDS flaws Intel addressed in those two previous patches, these latest ones have a couple of limitations. To start, one of the vulnerabilities, L1DES, doesn’t work on Intel’s more recent chips. Moreover, a hacker can’t execute the attack using a web browser. Intel also says it’s “not aware” of anyone taking […]
Intel 10th-gen desktop chips may pack better multitasking across the board
[ad_1] After that, it would be more about subtler but still welcome improvements. The flagship 3.7GHz Core i9-10900K (base clock of 3.7GHz) and its non-K variant (2.8GHz) would support a Velocity Boost feature that would hike clock speeds as long as the thermals allow. Otherwise, you’d have to make do with ‘just’ the regular Turbo […]
Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon chips include two with built-in 5G
[ad_1] Just when phones will arrive will depend on the individual manufacturers. It won’t surprise you to hear that several vendors have already confirmed work on devices using the new Snapdragons. Xiaomi’s Mi 10 and an unnamed Oppo flagship will use the Snapdragon 865 in the first quarter of 2020, while Nokia (that is, HMD […]
AMD’s 64-core Threadripper 3990X arrives in 2020
[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 […]
Intel fixes CPU security flaw it said was patched in May
[ad_1] The Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam researchers who alerted Intel to the problems have told the New York Times that Intel apparently ignored key proof-of-concept exploits when developing the May update, and should have found the relevant flaws even without those ready-made examples. The team refused to stay quiet with the November patch knowing that there […]
Intel’s 5GHz-capable Core i9-9900KS arrives October 30th
[ad_1] Are you determined to have the best Intel gaming CPU on the block without splurging on an X-series? You’ll soon have a chance to pick one up. Intel has revealed that its special edition Core i9-9900KS processor will be available on October 30th at a recommended price of $513. If you’ll recall, this is […]
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 […]
