When it comes to storms, then most of the time DHL comes. So also with us and suddenly there were two relatively large and heavy boxes. Let's pack it on and off!
The test system In our article "White and Fast: KFA2 Hall Of Fame Extreme DDR4-4000 in Test" we have already seen that the Core i7-8700K and the Ryzen 7 2700X benefit from an increase in memory frequency and also offer increased CPU and game performance. However, we also wanted to know whether this also applies to a Ryzen APU and its [...]
Old, but called again and again and again and thus an absolute classic from the 14th. May 2008, i.e. in fact just over 10 years old. And the funny thing about it: in principle, what was written at that time still applies today, even if they may have changed the technique and some details. Physics still follows the same rules as it did then. But [...]
Much does not always help much - but on the other hand, a system that still looks slightly oversized today may reach its limits tomorrow. You can probably never have enough performance and there is also a certain feeling of future... We start with two synthetic benchmarks, but consciously share this category in DirectX11 and DirectX12. In the [...]
AMD's return to the CPU sector last year was reflected in a seemingly endless launch of new processors that could put real pressure on Intel in almost all areas of the desktop PC market. This forced Intel to make the most drastic adjustments to its desktop portfolio in the last decade. Nevertheless, AMD continues to manage to continuously gain [...]
Reference system for workstation testing at Tom's Hardware Since we didn't want to build a pure Xeon workstation (which of course is always a cost issue), we want to compromise and select consumer hardware so that it can be... Assembly and instructions If you want to use the Cooler Master Cosmos C700P, you need not only a thick wallet, but [...]
Now that the discussions about thermal conduction in AMD's new APUs have made enough high waves instead of the metallic solder, we want to check how AMD's TIM is against a good, conventonal thermal paste and a suitable liquid... Temperatures and power consumption Let's start by looking at the temperatures and stomping - in two ways [...]
We take a look at AMD's two new APUs in detail and analyze power consumption, clock, temperatures, and the interactions of all these values. And of course we also test the Boxed cooler against the Chiller and find a kind of ... The Witcher 3 (Skellige) We have been using this game for a long time to determine the power consumption of the [...]
With Ryzen 5 2400G and Ryzen 3 2200G, AMD is sending two new APUs into the entry-level and mid-range segments that combine both Zen and Vega genes. This could make this combination a useful alternative to ... Zen becomes Ryzen But let's go back to our little introductory course, which we had already started on the first page. It all started [...]
Why do we need stability and stress tests? This time we want to question how we can optimally test the stability and, of course, the cooling of our CPU. Not only too high clock rates or too low voltages can ultimately make the system unstable, because even too high temperatures can negatively affect stability and performance. But how do you stress [...]
Here and now we deal with the rendering and performance of pure compute tasks. We cover gaming performance, as well as workstation performance in CAD (real-time display), in other parts of this CPU chart... Solidworks 2015, like Creo 3.0, not only uses the CPU to realize the graphics output, but also, in contrast to the free SPECviewperf, also [...]
Here and now we deal with workstation performance in CAD (real-time display). We cover gaming performance, rendering, and pure compute in other parts of these CPU charts:Part 1 - Gaming... Since AutoCAD can only scale very poorly (3D) to not (2D) over several threads, the available clock and thus of course also the height of the achievable IPC [...]
In this first part, we'll start with the gaming benchmarks and then we'll look at workstation performance in CAD (real-time display), rendering, and compute. Part 1 - Gam... We start with two synthetic benchmarks, but consciously share this category in DirectX11 and DirectX12. In the 3DMark Fire Strike, the core count dominates the physics [...]
Yes, so for a good read- time: The Ryzen Threadripper 1950X has a whopping 16 cores, or 32 threads, 2 TB of addressable memory (which you couldn't even theoretically use in the absence of suitable 256 GB modules), ... Since it is difficult to get a pronounced server CPU for gaming optimally fit, AMD has provided in the Ryzen Master Tool a so [...]
We want to precede today's test with a small episode that we experienced at a motherboard manufacturer when it came to Intel's request that kaby Lake-X still have a cheap board with only four memory banks. The Basin Falls X299 chipset The Kaby Lake-X processors sit in an LGA2066 socket (R4), powered by an X299 chipset with 6 watts of power [...]
Introduction Intel's new X-Series consists of i5, i7, and reissued i9 processors, all of which require the same X299 chipset that comes with the LGA2066 socket. The S-series processors will continue to be used with the 200 chipset. In some applications and games, we've encountered performance trends that didn't match our expectations [...]
The Ryzen 5 1600X and 1500X presented today (and tested) are actually no longer really new, because we find the same archtitecure in the whole CPUs of the Ryzen 7 family. Who knows about AMD's new architecture again ... Benchmarks in Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) This time we have deliberately made a slightly different selection of games, which [...]
Intel is currently in the midst of the biggest restructuring in the company's history. In terms of its own growth forecasts, the focus is increasingly shifting toward IoT, cloud, and data centers. At the same time, the CPU... 200 chipsets and Optane Ready support Both the 200 and 100 chipsets support Kaby Lake and Skylake processors. This dual [...]
