PCI Express The Peripheral Component Interconnect Special Interest Group (PCI-SIG) consortium released new information on the upcoming PCIe 6.0 interface standard specifications. The consortium's board of directors has representatives from manufacturers such as AMD, NVIDIA and Intel. PCI Express 4.0 (PCIe 4.0) We are yet to see the full adoption of the PCIe 4.0 standard. As of today, only AMD introduced both CPUs and GPUs compatible with the new interface. Their Radeon RX 5000 series

AMD Ryzen 4000G series is slowly getting BIOS support AMD Ryzen series featuring Renoir silicon is almost here. The upcoming Ryzen 4000G series will be AMD's first Zen-based high-end desktop APU series to feature up to 8 CPU cores and up 8 graphics units (Compute Units). A benchmark result of the 6-core and 12-thread Ryzen 5 4400G has been discovered by APISAK, who clarifies that the processor scored 4395

NVIDIA has allegedly begun an investigation into the GeForce RTX 3080 leak.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 poses in 3D Upcoming RTX 3080 graphics card will feature a unique dual-fan design and irregularly-shaped PCB. This is a completely new approach to the reference design by NVIDIA. It remains unclear what will happen to the custom models. Will NVIDIA let board partners improve the reference design we see below, or will they receive a different, more regular circuit design for their cheaper blower-type and the old fashioned dual- and triple-fan designs? 3

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 pictured? Alleged pictures of the upcoming GeForce RTX 3080 graphics cards have been leaked on Chiphell. The models photographed by a leaker are clearly prototypes or engineering samples likely to be one of the many suggested designs for the final choice. The design does appear to be NVIDIA's. The card design features a two-fan with a large heatsink likely to be hidden under a shroud, we can see the RTX 3080 backplate on one of the prototypes.

AMD confirms SmartShift is exclusive to Dell G5 15 SE for now The technology that was meant to take the high-end notebook market by the storm will not be seen in more devices in 2020, AMD's Frank Azor confirms on Twitter.

Intel sends out Tiger Lake promotional kits to reviewers This indicates an imminent launch of Tiger Lake mobile processors. The kit features a blue planter with 2 orange Lily seeds (Lilium 'Tiger's Roar'). A clever idea from Intel's marketing department. Nathan Kirsch from Legit Reviews was likely the first person to get one of these, and we expect to see more of the kits arrive at other reviewers' doorsteps soon. This promotional stunt indicates that Intel is ready to launch its mobile Tiger Lake processors,

Intel has finally revealed Comet Lake-S power limits. Intel Comet Lake-S PL1/PL2 values Intel has not been eager to reveal all power limit details at the launch, even reviewers were not told the full story. However, the information has finally been provided to ComputerBase. The new data confirm exactly what was expected: Comet Lake-S PL power values are much different from the previous series. As you know official TDP values have pretty much nothing in common with actual power consumption for the Intel

ASRock is set to launch at least eight A520 motherboards. ASRock A520 motherboards appear on EEC website The A520 chipset has not yet been announced by AMD despite previously releasing some initial information. The A520 is an entry-level chipset designed with the Ryzen 3/Atlhon processor series in mind. Unlike the X570 and B550, the A520 does not have PCIe 4.0 support. The I/O connections are limited
