This should be taken with a fair helping of salt, considering GFXBench 5.0 is mobile device focused benchmark, even though the company behind claims it's a platform independent benchmark. Regardless of that, it looks like the new 32 core GPU in Apple's M1 Max SoC offers some pretty competitive performance, as it manages GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU in said test.

However, this is a median score for the GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU and many of the tests

AMD Cezanne ‘refresh’ codenamed Barcelo coming to Ryzen 5000 series

With the announcement of the Ryzen 5000 series, AMD made a questionable choice to mix Zen3 based Cezanne chips with Lucienne based on Zen2. The latter was more or less a Renoir silicon refresh, although the company refused to call it this way.

It seems that the next generation featuring Zen3+ will be exclusive to Ryzen 6000 series as the

Apple announced the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros on Monday, marking the debut of the company's new M1 Pro and M1 Max SoCs. While we've already seen a bit of the M1 Max's computing power , one Redditor has found a new benchmark of the M1 Max stretching its feet in a graphics benchmark.

The M1 Max wields a 32-core GPU with 16 execution units each. Each execution unit

Leak shows overclocking Intel's Core i9-12900K Alder Lake CPU to 5.2 GHz turns it into a cutting-edge space heater

TechSpot News | Oct. 20, 2021, 12:54 p.m. | Original

In brief: Intel says AMD’s performance lead is over with Alder Lake, but what remains to be seen is whether or not this will come at the cost of higher power consumption, which in turn would demand better cooling. If the latest leaks out of China are anything to go by, the upcoming 12th generation flagship CPU will be a cutting-edge space heater even with a mild overclock on its P-cores.

Intel could reveal its Alder Lake-S processors for enthusiasts as soon as next

Further development of Apple silicon drivers for Linux continues. According to a report from Phoronix , developers are almost ready to release a new PCIe driver for M1 chips that will bring PCIe compatibility to Apple chips running the Linux operating systems. That could bring us closer to a day where we can run Linux with full compatibility on Apple's new high-performance M1 chips.

This new PCIe driver is one of the most important drivers to be developed for the Apple M1 and Linux

Why it matters: Alder Lake mobile CPUs might bring a lot of performance improvements over their Tiger Lake predecessors, but we still know too little about them to draw any conclusions. Intel is hopeful that it can one day earn back Apple as a customer, but the latest leaks suggest the latter company made the right choice in going with custom Arm-based silicon for the Mac.

Most of the leaks around Intel’s Alder Lake platform we’ve seen so far have been about the desktop lineup, but now we

Apple Silicon PCIe Driver Queued For Linux 5.16

Phoronix | Oct. 20, 2021, 5:54 a.m. | Original

Queued this week into the Linux PCI subsystem's "next" branch is the Apple PCIe driver needed to enable PCI Express support for Apple SoCs such as the M1.

The "pcie-apple" driver is written by reverse-engineering expert Alyssa Rosenzweig and Marc Zyngier while also based on discoveries by Corellium and OpenBSD developers. At this stage the Apple PCIe controller driver is less than one thousand lines of new code for bringing up the PCI Express bus with Apple SoCs. The focus has been on the Apple M
