AMD to Use Motherboard BIOS Updates to Address Ryzen 8000G Desktop APU STAPM “Feature”
AMD introduced skin temperature-aware power management (STAPM) in 2014 for its mobile processors. This feature allows the on-die power management logic to consider the physical surface temperature of the laptop by reading off temperature probes mounted on the laptop chassis, in addition to the processor’s internal temperature, which is measured...
AMD Ryzen 7 8700G AI Boosted Performance with Overclocked DDR5 RAM
We already know that the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G APU enjoys memory that has been overclocked; preliminary assessments showed that adjusting the “iGPU engine clock and the processor’s memory frequency” could yield significant graphical improvements. While gamers can enjoy a boosted integrated graphics solution that is comparable in performance 1080p...
AMD Ryzen 5 8600G to Come with Radeon 760M Graphics, 8 Cores, and Up to 5.00 GHz CPU Overboost
The Radeon 760M integrated graphics, rather than the full iGPU arrangement found on silicon or the previously thought Radeon 780M, will be available on AMD’s next Ryzen 5 8600G Socket AM5 desktop APU. As of right now, there are still differing reports regarding the precise silicon that the Ryzen 8000G...
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...
Read and write speeds of over 182 GB/s and 175 GB/s are provided by the AMD 3D V-Cache RAM disk.
With AMD’s 3D V-Cache technology, the processor can access large cache pools for applications by stacking SRAM blocks on top of the CPU logic die, which houses the CPU cores. Nonetheless, it seems feasible to use this additional level 3 (L3) cache as a RAM disk, in which case the...
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...
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....
The most recent AMD AGESA suggests Ryzen 7000G “Phoenix” desktop APUs
With the Ryzen 7000G series, AMD is getting ready to introduce its first APUs for the Socket AM5 desktop platform. The firm does not classify the ordinary Ryzen 7000 series “Raphael” processors as APUs, despite the fact that it has standardized integrated graphics with the Ryzen 7000 series. According to...
Ryzen 8000 “Granite Ridge” desktop CPUs from AMD could use the same IO die.
AMD plans to introduce its Ryzen 8000 desktop CPUs, also known as “Granite Ridge,” sometime in 2019. The most recent batch of Team Red product roadmaps indicate that the Zen 5 core microarchitecture will be released alongside (Navi) RDNA 3.5 iGPU cores. We already know that Granite Ridge will be...
Ryzen Chipset Drivers Updated by AMD to Improve 3D V-Cache Optimization?
Version 5.08.02.027 of the Ryzen Chipset software was released by AMD. The drivers include application support for a “New program support and some new drivers added,” in addition to bug fixes for its many components. The AMD SFH 1.1 driver, AMD PMF-7040Series driver, and the oddly called AMD Interface driver...
