After one year of Ryzen 3000 (“Matisse”), the replacement of the current Ryzen 5 3600X, Ryzen 7 3800X and Ryzen 9 3900X is approaching, by adding MTS2 (internal for “Matisse Refresh”), an improved XT replacement, which should make waiting for Ryzen 4000 (“Vermeer”) a little easier. And probably also a little bit [...]

CPU, Memory & Mainboard
Intel’s current weakness in desktop CPUs might suggest that the long-awaited Ryzen 4000 generation might be a bit of a plaything for casual time management. Launch this year, yeah. But when, actually? Q4 is a three month long, very stretchy time window. And then, of course, there is the question of availability after the release. In order to [...]
Currently Intel is wading through the valley of tears a bit, because you can do what you want, you just can’t get past a better node in view of AMD’s current run. And this is where the crux of the matter begins. A new entry of Intel’s Rocket Lake desktop CPU from the Geekbench 5 shows an 8-core (16 threads), which is used as CPU [...]
AMD officially announced the Ryzen 3000XT ‘Matisse Refresh’ product line several weeks ago. This product line consists of a total of three processors still based on the 7 nm Zen 2 architecture, but with a slightly improved design (or simply better binning) that allows higher boost clocks than the Ryzen 3000X series. Although the [...]
It had become increasingly clear that the portfolio of Renoir CPUs could look quite different in the end. Here, too, the “refresh” APUs are to be introduced immediately and not the previously circulated models. The only downer for all the HTPC and office enthusiasts who wanted a powerful CPU with relatively fast integrated graphics: [...]
Counterfeiting and CPU fraud have not only been around since yesterday, especially in the retail market. But according to HKEPC’s latest report, it now looks like the big tech companies themselves are falling victim to these scams. The report mentions that Chinese-based shopkeepers and resellers have tried to send massive amounts of [...]
Currently there is a very large selection of processors, be it from the blue Intel or the red AMD bearing. But what do you actually need for everyday work, gambleors or a few pictures or pictures? To edit videos from the holiday? Does it have to be the Intel Core i9-9900k or the Ryzen 9 3900X from AMD? Do I need a Ryzen of the 3. Generation? Maybe [...]
Yesterday I had already put the new Radeon Pro W5700 through its paces in the launch article “AMD Radeon Pro W5700 Review – price and performance are right, but it’s enough for the Quadro RTX 4000?“, but I was still unclear where the advantage of the new test platform with the Ryzen 9 3950X including X570 motherboard and [...]
Sometimes you think you’re in the wrong movie and then you wonder what a minute’s life costs. Well, I could have guessed it and I was already on the right track on Sunday, but had discarded the right idea by wrong trust in the logic of the developers. The review of the three X570 motherboards had to be done without the Asus TUF Gaming [...]
The way is the goal, but you could also say abbreviated learning curve. The Alphacool ice block XPX Aurora Pro Plexi Digital RGB is certainly such a typical product for this genre, because it combines at the end a probably previously underestimated Alphacool ice block XPX Pro 1U with addressable RGB and a modified exterior. This may well please if [...]
With the first Generation of Ryzen, AMD has shown that end-user CPUs need to be limited to four cores and eight threads. Ryzen Gen. 2 introduced broader support for higher memory clock speeds thanks to optimized Zen architecture and gradually expanded market spread through competitive pricing. The third generation of Ryzen CPUs, at least on paper [...]
Important preliminary remarks I admit that motherboard tests are complex and often ungrateful for the tester, because the readership remains quite manageable, as long as it is, for example, an enthusiast platform like the Socket 2066. Nevertheless, I find it very exciting to observe what would be possible and also if you as a manufacturer make a [...]
