AMD's deliver i7-7700K-like performance for a bargain price

PCHocasi leaks full lineup Gigabyte Z490 series. GIGABYTE Z490 SERIES Yesterday we reported that Gigabyte confirmed to the press that their upcoming Z490 motherboards are compatible with PCI-Express Gen 4. Shortly after that leak, our sources have also confirmed that ASRock and MSI marketing materials (which are still under embargo) also list PCIe 4.0 readiness. This obviously means that PCIe 4.0 is supported by the motherboard, but the 10th Gen Core CPUs are simply not ready

While AMD's 7 nm "Renoir" APU silicon is off busy disrupting the mobile processor market, AMD needs a socket AM4 desktop APU to challenge Intel's Core i5 and Core i7 chips that have iGPUs, and it's only natural for "Renoir" to reach the desktop platform at some point. PC enthusiast _rogame unearthed details of a 35-Watt TDP AMD APU codenamed "Artic," with a rather high 3.00 GHz nominal clock speed, which could hint

Here are some of the first pictures of GIGABYTE's AORUS Gaming series socket LGA1200 motherboard lineup based on Intel Z490 chipset. The biggest feature with some of these boards is forwards-compatibility for PCI-Express gen 4.0 on 11th generation Core "Rocket Lake" processors. These boards will not run PCIe gen 4.0 with a "Comet Lake" processor in place, but rather feature all the physical and electrical preparation to enable PCIe gen 4.0 when

GIGABYTE Z490 gets PCIe 4.0 In official marketing materials (which are under embargo) Gigabyte confirms that their motherboards are compatible with PCIe 4.0 devices, however, the functionally is limited. Gigabyte does not directly confirm what the limitation is, however, it is more than likely related to Rocket Lake-S series still being under embargo. Intel Rocket Lake-S series is expected to launch after the Comet Lake-S series, either as part of the 10th Gen Core series or
