[ad_1] We still haven’t been able to verify any of those claims in the real world, but we continued to get more demos of how powerful the 8cx is supposed to be. Here in Taiwan, Qualcomm again showcased a reference design laptop with the “extreme” chipset pushing out streaming to two 4K displays in addition […]

ARM’s latest chip designs promise 60 percent faster AI on phones
[ad_1] The Cortex-A77 CPU design is ultimately a refinement of last year’s 7-nanometer A76, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The new hardware claims 20 percent faster instructions-per-clock performance without hurting efficiency, and that translates to roughly 35 times faster machine learning performance than the old A55 (for context, ARM was celebrating a 28-fold […]
AMD’s third-gen Ryzen 9 CPU is a 12-core powerhouse for $499
[ad_1] All of AMD’s 3rd-gen Ryzen chips will feature its new Zen 2 architecture, a chiplet-based design that’ll offer a 15 percent performance improvement across every application. They’ll also have double the floating point performance and double the cache over its last CPUs. The 3900X features a base/boost speed of 3.68GHz/4.6GHz and 70MB of total […]
AMD’s first Navi GPUs are the Radeon RX 5000-series
[ad_1] Unfortunately, AMD is waiting until E3 to divulge specifics on these next-generation RDNA cards. For now, the company says we can expect 25 percent better performance-per-clock and 50 percent faster performance per watt with the new architecture, compared to its older Graphics Core Next technology. In addition to being the first 7nm consumer video […]
AMD partner leaks two mid-range Navi GPUs
[ad_1] NVIDIA’s RTX 2070 and RTX 2060 cost the same $499 and $399, respectively, but have ray-tracing capability that AMD’s cards will apparently lack. Given the more advanced 7-nanometer tech, AMD could nip NVIDIA when it comes to power efficiency. However, at this point, AMD’s pricing seems a bit high. If NVIDIA decided to drop […]
MSI crams an unlocked, desktop-class Core i9 into its new laptop
[ad_1] Pushing the chip beyond its limits will require some supreme cooling, so the GT76 comes with four fans and 11 heat pipes. MSI says the GT76 will generate more than twice the airflow, although neglected to mention what unit it was using for comparison. On the graphics front, the GT76 will pack a GeForce […]
Acer’s Nitro 5 and Swift 3 laptops pack the latest AMD Ryzen processors
[ad_1] The PCs aren’t radically different beyond the CPU changes, although that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The Nitro 5 still boasts a 1080p display, CoolBoost to prevent overheating in gaming sessions and a reasonably slim (if slightly flashy) body. The Swift 3, meanwhile, has a 180-degree folding display and shouldn’t burden you between its […]
