Intel "Meteor Lake" and "Arrow Lake" Use GPU Chiplets

Intel's upcoming "Meteor Lake" and "Arrow Lake" client mobile processors introduce an interesting twist to the chiplet concept. Earlier represented in vague-looking IP blocks, new artistic impressions of the chip put out by Intel shed light on a 3-die approach not unlike the Ryzen "Vermeer" MCM that has up to two CPU core dies (CCDs) talking to a cIOD (client IO die), which handles all the SoC connectivity; Intel's design has one major difference, and that'

AMD Zen3+ Architecture and Ryzen 6000 "Rembrandt" Mobile Processors Detailed

AMD on Thursday unveiled its Ryzen 6000 series "Rembrandt" mobile processors. The company claims these chips offer generational increases in CPU performance, along with big leaps in energy-efficiency and integrated graphics performance. At the heart of these processors is the new 6 nm "Rembrandt" silicon that the company is building on the TSMC N6 silicon fabrication node that leverages EUV lithography.

The "Rembrandt" silicon broadly combines an 8-core/16-thread CPU based on the new Zen 3+ microarchitecture

Intel confirms Arctic Sound-M Data Center GPU features DG2 processor

Intel Arctic Sound-M

Intel unveils its first next-gen data center GPUs.

The company has not said a word about Arctic Sound GPUs for many months, and that’s despite Arctic Sound being among the first discrete GPUs to be shown ahead of the Xe-HPC or HPG series. Today Intel has finally lifted the curtain on its new Data Center GPU codenamed Arctic Sound-M which unexpectedly features DG2 (Xe-HPG) GPU instead of Xe-HP.

Exynos-powered Galaxy S22 Ultra performs significantly worse than Qualcomm variant

What just happened? Samsung was quite adamant that its Exynos 2200 premium mobile platform, based on AMD’s RDNA 2 architecture, will provide the finest experience for smartphone users. However, a reviewer based in Europe has found Samsung’s SoC to be noticeably worse in terms of GPU performance, at least when it comes to benchmarks.

Traditionally, the Exynos vs. Qualcomm debate has

Linux On The Apple M1 Preparing Better Performance With In-Development CPUFreq Driver

As with most modern SoCs/processors, proper CPU frequency scaling / performance state management is absolutely critical for achieving good performance out of the hardware either for ensuring the CPU is hitting its capable performance states and also to reduce power consumption / heat when not needed in order to avoid thermal throttling and prolonging battery life. Fortunately, a proper CPUFreq driver for the Apple M1 is in development for Linux and is allowing for a combination of enticing performance and good battery life for this community-driven, open-source support around
