AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS and Intel Core Ultra 5 125H Face Off in a Benchmark Leak
From Intel’s upcoming “Meteor Lake” processor family, the Core Ultra 5 125H is intended to be a middle-of-the-road processor SKU. It has a 14-core, 18-thread CPU configuration out of the box. With a fully functional Xe-LPG iGPU that has all 8 Xe cores (128 EU) enabled, that’s 4P+8E+2L (four performance...
AMD Releases Details of XDNA 2 NPU Architecture for 2024 Release of Next Generation “Strix Point” Mobile Processors
The next-generation on-chip neural processing unit (NPU) architecture, called XDNA 2, was first mentioned by AMD in its announcement of mobile processors for the Ryzen 8040 series “Hawk Point” series. Above all, compared to the first generation XDNA NPU powering the Ryzen 7040 series “Phoenix” processor, the XDNA 2 NPU...
Intel Xeon Platinum “Emerald Rapids” 48-Core CPU SKUs 8558P and 8551C Leaked
Further information about Intel’s upcoming 5th generation Xeon Scalable processors, codenamed Emerald Rapids, is emerging from the benchmark submission database Geekbench. We previously discussed the leak of the 48-core Xeon 8558U and the potentially top-tier 64-core Xeon 8592+ Platinum processors. On the other hand, information regarding lower-stack SKUs with up...
AMD Prepares Ryzen 5 and 7 5700X3D Socket AM4 Processors
Users of AMD Socket AM4 are in for a treat, as the company has two more Ryzen 5000X3D series processor models planned, according to chi11eddog, a trustworthy source with AMD leaks. Despite having an older “Zen 3” microarchitecture, these chips have 3D Vertical Cache technology, which helps them reach gaming...
Intel Verifies 13th and 12th Generation Core Processors Won’t Get the APO Feature
Though they share a nearly identical microarchitecture, the 14th generation Core “Raptor Lake Refresh” processors are distinguished from the 13th generation by a special feature called Intel Application Performance Optimization (APO). APO, or application-specific processor optimization, is software-based and has been found to provide performance boosts of up to 16%...
Lower End Models of the AMD Ryzen 7000G APU Series Are Based on “Phoenix 2”
The Ryzen 7000G series desktop APUs from AMD, which include the 4 nm “Phoenix” monolithic processor technology into the Socket AM5 desktop packaging, are now undergoing finalization. The main draw of these CPUs is their sizable integrated graphics processing unit (iGPU), which is built on the most recent RDNA3 architecture....
As the i7-14700HX Surfaces, Intel’s “Raptor Lake Refresh” is confirmed for the mobile segment launch.
With the appearance of the Core i7-14700HX on the leaked PugetBench online database, Intel’s plan to launch the 14th Gen Core series in the mobile market is officially verified. This would be similar to how Intel handled its 10th generation Core series, with the then-newer “Ice Lake” silicon handling the...
