Intel's upcoming desktop CPUs are making a new appearance with higher clocks. Intel Rocket Lake-S boost to 5.0 GHz The previous engineering samples of Intel's 11th Gen core processors have been seen with 4.1 or 4.3 GHz boost clocks. A new result, however, discovered by @leakbench, shows a 700 MHz performance boost to 5.0 GHz. This likely means Rocket Lake-S processors will also benefit from higher clock speeds, already seen on previous

NVIDIA A100 tested Jules Urbach, the CEO of OTOY (a company specializing in holographic rendering in the cloud), shared first benchmark results of the NVIDIA A100 accelerator. The GPU is the first, and so far the only, Ampere-based graphics card (or more precisely a compute accelerator). Although NVIDIA announced the immediate availability of the A100 for DGX100 systems, we have not seen any meaningful benchmarks of the A100 yet. The A

Alder Lake is Intel's first 10nm desktop CPU Intel has confirmed today in 2020's second-quarter earnings press release that their 7nm product is delayed by approximately a year. In the same document, the company has also confirmed that Alder Lake, which is now set to launch in the second half of 2021, will be their first 10nm desktop processor. This is the first time Intel has publicly confirmed Alder Lake architecture, a new hybrid big/small

AMD has confirmed the pricing for its new Ryzen PRO 4000G series processors. The list feature  Ryzen 7 PRO 4750G(E), 5 PRO 4650G(E), and 3 PRO 4350(GE). AMD discloses pricing on Ryzen 4000G series The 8-core and 16-thread APU (4750G) featuring 7nm Zen2 cores will cost 309 USD, which is 20

AMD Renoir FP6 (Mobile) is capped to PCIe 3.0 x8 Igor Wallosek has shared a new block diagram for the Ryzen 4000H and U series platform codenamed Renoir FP6. The diagram reveals the sad truth about PCI-Express interface bandwidth limitation. This could be the main reason why notebooks makers have avoided pairing high-performance Ryzen 4000 CPUs with more powerful graphics. The Renoir FP6 is locked to PCIe 3.0 with either x8 or x4 link

MSI has confirmed that upcoming Rocket Lake-S processors will be supported by their H410 motherboards. MSI H410 supports Rocket Lake-S MSI Infinite B915 pre-built system's manual confirms Rocket Lake-S support on entry-level H410 motherboard. The specifications listed in the file clearly confirm that the H410 motherboard supports Rocket Lake-S chips up to 65W TDP. The support for 400-series motherboards is hardly a

We have some (conflicting) information on a possible launch schedule for the upcoming GeForce series. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Launch Date? Overclocking.com: August According to Overclocking.com, NVIDIA would launch GeForce RTX 30 series in August. It would be a limited quantity launch with a focus on the Founders Edition model first. Custom graphics cards based on Ampere architecture would arrive in September. The site claims that they double-sourced this information. We have reached out to the author of the story for more

Effort will infuse AI throughout UF’s curriculum and help address wide range of challenges across the state. The University of Florida and NVIDIA Tuesday unveiled a plan to build the world’s fastest AI supercomputer in academia, delivering 700 petaflops of AI performance. The effort is anchored by a $50 million gift: $25 million from alumnus and NVIDIA co-founder Chris Malachowsky and $25 million in hardware, software, training and services from NVIDIA. “We’ve created a replicable,

AMD has introduced 12 new Ryzen processors based on Zen architecture. AMD announces Ryzen 4000G series Today AMD unveiled its Ryzen 4000G series based on Renoir silicon, featuring onboard Vega graphics. Sadly, the processors will not be available for consumers. AMD has made a decision to focus on OEM integrators. This is where the vast majority of the APUs end up anyway, according to AMD. The AMD Ryzen 4000G series are compatible with AMD B550 and

Intel has issued a Linux patch adding Alder Lake Intel processor family support.
