ASRock and Biostar announce Ryzen 9000 (Zen5) support on AMD 600-series motherboards
Sat, 27 Apr 2024 11:00:32 +0000
ASRock and Biostar ready for Ryzen 9000, but is AMD ready? Additional motherboard vendors confirm support for 'next-gen' Ryzen CPUs.  Following ASUS, MSI and Gigabyte, ASRock and Biostar have also issued press releases confirming support for AMD's new Ryzen series. Both motherboard vendors did not explicitly mention the Ryzen 9000 series in their press releases, however, ASRock made this 'mistake' by sharing this information on the motherboard support page. As we can see, the latest AGESA 1.1.7.0 supports Ryzen 9000 specifically, although this name was not confirmed by AMD yet. Essentially, this with Gigabyte also confirming the name gives pretty...

Sat, 27 Apr 2024 08:52:54 +0000
EPYC 4004 CPUs spotted on sale in the USA A seller from California has briefly listed AMD's yet unreleased EPYC 4004 series of CPUs for the AM5 socket.  AMD is about to launch AM5-based EPYC server processors, and there is now evidence that this is indeed happening. As we reported 3 days ago, AMD has apparently been planning to offer yet another CPU variant for this otherwise consumer-grade socket. The EPYC CPUs are already offered on larger SP5 and SP6 sockets, featuring support for EPYC 9004 and 8004 series. The AM5-based version would be much smaller. Currently, the AM5 package...

Intel issues its first statement in response to 13/14th Gen Core i9 CPU stability issues
Sat, 27 Apr 2024 08:25:14 +0000
Intel statement on Core i9 stability concerns Intel has issued the first statement on user reported Core i9 processors stability issues. The company has put the blame on motherboard vendors who do not follow Intel specs. There would hardly be any difference in motherboard performance if it weren't for certain features that allow users to disable or adjust power, voltages, and frequency settings. It's clear that these companies tend to offer more powerful features out of the box, which also looks good in reviews when each board is compared to the others. The problem arises when motherboards enable these features...

MSI interest lies in RTX GPUs The company responded to a question about why Radeon GPUs are not available in stores. MSI has clarified its stance on graphics cards, stating to HardwareLuxx that it is now prioritizing GeForce RTX cards. This doesn't mean a complete halt in Radeon GPU production from the Taiwanese company, nor does it suggest a permanent change in company plans; however, it does shed light on the scarcity of MSI Radeon GPUs in retail outlets. When it comes to graphics cards, our focus at the moment is actually more on RTX cards. Nevertheless, the collaboration with...

Gigabyte Z790 “Intel Baseline” profile puts Core i9-13900KF (QS) CPU into Core i7 tier
Fri, 26 Apr 2024 07:10:24 +0000
Gigabyte promises "Superior Stability" with its Intel Baseline motherboard profile for Core i9 CPUs Similarly to ASUS, Gigabyte has released the Intel Baseline Profile setting within its BIOS for 13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, all in an effort to offer more stability to these CPUs. As we reported, various motherboard makers were offering generous power settings within their BIOS, typically diverging from Intel's recommendations, and typically this was done automatically. As a result, many users on Intel 13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, especially those using the 13900K and 14900K models, were experiencing stability issues, crashes, and out-of-video-memory messages...

ThinkBook TGX features OCulink with full 64 Gbps bandwidth An alternative to slow Thunderbolt eGPUs.  This product was announced at CES, but it wasn't seen in action until now. The ThinkBook TGX is a GPU enclosure that uses a custom connection based on PCIe Gen4 specs. The connector is very much like OCulink, and unofficially, it is, in fact, OCulink. Officially, it is advertised as TGX and should work with Lenovo ThinkBook 14/16 laptops featuring Core Ultra CPUs. Modern GPU enclosures are commonly equipped with Thunderbolt 3 or 4 connections. Both technically offer the same bandwidth, which in this case...
