NZXT is no stranger here at 9to5Toys, and when they reached out with an opportunity to check out their first-ever AMD motherboard, we were all for it. We're also huge AMD fans around here, though Intel is absolutely great in its own right.
When it comes to OEM system builders, AMD has been a bit like Rodney Dangerfield, in that it sometimes can't " get no respect," to quote the former comedian (RIP). The company's Zen architecture has been a game changer, though, especially its latest generation Zen 3 CPUs.
The single-core performance benchmark for Apple's M1 8 Core ARM CPU has been unveiled & it's faster than 8 core chips from both AMD & Intel.
Razer is reportedly planning to launch brand new Blade laptops featuring, for the first time, AMD Ryzen 5000 CPUs based on Zen 3 cores.
Late last year, the HP Envy x360 13" convertible received an Intel Tiger Lake brain transplant which gave the lineup a nice performance boost. Now, that device's bigger brother, the Envy x360 15, is getting the same treatment and more with both Tiger Lake and AMD Ryzen 5000U options.
(Image credit: Shutterstock) The first benchmark results for Qualcomm's 3rd Generation Snapdragon 8cx system-on-chip ( SoC) for always-connected PCs has been posted to the Geekbench 5 database. The numbers show the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 beating its predecessors and even competing with Intel's latest 11th Gen Core i7 "Tiger Lake" mobile chip in multi-threaded workloads.

Intel has a couple of notable events coming up. The first is a webcast scheduled for tomorrow (March 23), in which Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger will discuss a "new era of innovation and technology leadership." Then in a couple weeks from now, Intel is planning to formally introduce its latest 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors based on Ice Lake-SP.
AMD's mighty Zen 3 architecture is about to expand into Pro model desktop APUs.
According to the information revealed by the Chinese media site MyDrivers, AMD has now become TSMC's largest customer for 7nm wafers. Previously, the TSMCs biggest incumbent was Apple, which has now given up the title because of its plans with 5nm silicon. We already know that Apple has already reserved 80% of TSMC's 5nm production.
A UserBenchmark listing of an upcoming HP EliteDesk 805 G8 has surfaced. The listing indicates the mini PC running an AMD processor but only the OPN code is shown. It is likely that this OPN code refers to the AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 5750G APU.
Benchmarks of Intel's Rocket Lake & Comet Lake Refresh Desktop CPUs have leaked & both show worse IPC than AMD's Ryzen 5000 Zen 3 CPUs.
It is a pretty safe bet that AMD will introduce a range of mobile GPUs based on its latest generation RNDA 2 graphics architecture -essentially a porting of the Radeon RX 6000 series over to laptops. Exactly when and what specific SKUs will launch are both wait-and-see things.
AMD has reportedly become TSMC's number one customer in regard to purchasing 7nm wafers. Apple was previously the main customer for this node but has now moved its focus mainly on to 5nm. By securing more of TSMC's 7nm output, AMD might be able to tackle the shortage of Ryzen 5000 chips and ensure delivery for EPYC Milan orders.
Intel and AMD are at it again. Intel recently released its flagship desktop processor Intel i9-11900K, which is said to unseat AMD Ryzen 9 5950X (or 5900X) from the top spot. Over the last few years, the chip race between Intel and AMD has gotten pretty intense, especially after AMD made a stellar comeback with its Zen architecture.
AMD has had an almost ridiculous amount of launches going on this week. It all started on Monday when the company unveiled its third-gen server-bound EPYC series, which we took an in-depth look at. Today, the company unveils its gaming-bound Radeon RX 6700 XT, while yesterday, the company...
AMD 's third-generation Epyc processors, codenamed Milan, arrived on March 15 for cloud, datacentre, virtualization and high-performance computing (HPC) environments. There are 19 SKUs in AMD's Epyc 7003 processor family. They range between eight to 64 cores, with two newly added 46 core and 56 core options.
Alongside every launch of AMD's consumer processors, the commercial offerings for business come along a few months after. Today we see the commercial launch of the Ryzen 5000 Mobile series, named Ryzen Pro 5000 Mobile. These are built on the same Cezanne processor design, but with the added sprinkling of Pro level features required by commercial customers for widescale deployment, security, and stability.
Intel's Rocket Lake is one of the most anxiously anticipated launch in almost a decade. It marks the first move away from the wider Skylake macro-architecture (since Haswell) and the first major revision for Intel on the 14nm process. This is the first platform from Intel that supports PCIe 4.0 and also the first of [...]
AMDannounced the new AMD EPYC 7003 Series CPUs, which includes the AMD EPYC 7763, the world's highest-performing server processor2*. The new EPYC 7003 series processors help HPC, cloud and enterprise customers do more, faster, by delivering the best performance of any server CPU with up to 19% more instructions per clock.
