Oryon, the Nuvia ARM core of Snapdragon X: Architecture analysis

Analysis, News, Processors | | Jan Olšan

At Computex 2024, Intel introduced the new Lion Cove and Skymont architectures, which we covered in detail. AMD also shared a peek at their competing Zen 5 core, but with little detail, so we’ll have to wait with our analysis of the architecture. But there’s a new ARM-based challenger entering the fray – the Snapdragon X Elite currently coming to laptops. And Qualcomm has now also finally teased its “Nuvia” Oryon architecture.

New Aorus case (C400 Glass): 40 l for large components

News, PC cases | | Ľubomír Samák

Gigabyte has released a case named C400 Glass under its Aorus brand. It should be interesting for example because it also supports full-size graphics cards, motherboards and also CPU coolers despite its relatively small dimensions. And one of its advantages is supposed to be efficient system cooling with vertical airflow, although this is not usually the preferred option for case manufacturers.

Intel Lunar Lake: The most efficient x86 processor detailed

Analysis, News, Processors | | Jan Olšan

Intel has unveiled the Lunar Lake processors at Computex, said to be the most mobility and efficient CPUs (allegedly the best in the x86 world) and compete against Apple chips as well as against other ARM processors in Copilot+ PCs, in addition to facing AMD. And it’s much more than just the P-Core and E-Core architectures, Lunar Lake basically combines the best technologies Intel has to across various fields into a single package.

Skymont architecture analysed: Intel little core outgrows the big?

Analysis, News, Processors | | Jan Olšan

Intel unveiled their next-gen Lunar Lake mobile processor at Computex 2024. It will power Copilot+ PCs with its NPU and is supposed to be very power efficient, but it’s extremely interesting mainly because of the new CPU architectures, which will power future Arrow Lake desktop CPUs. Ironically, the star of this generation might actually be the little efficient E-Core accompanying the big P-Cores. Its architecture seems to have taken a giant leap.

Price as low as possible: New Endorfy Pactum 1 thermal paste

Cooling, News, TIMs | | Ľubomír Samák

Endorhy has released the Pactum 1 thermal pastes. These are characterized above all by their low price. Their thermal conductivity is also lower, but still at a level that could be sufficient for many applications. Pactum 1 pastes are available in two variants. While one is more suitable for home use, the other, larger one, will also find use in the workshops of service technicians. Read more “Price as low as possible: New Endorfy Pactum 1 thermal paste” »

News, PC cases, Peripherals | | Ľubomír Samák

This year’s Computex may be over, but we still have some stuff from it that we want to publish. These include the Fractal Design product showcase. In terms of our focus, you could say that the FD booth was mainly about computer cases, but the expansion into new markets is also notable. Headsets with microphones or computer chairs will soon be available under the Fractal Design brand. Read more “Fractal Design News: small cases, headsets, chairs” »

“Two fans in one”. MSI plans an unconventional concept

Cooling, Fans, News | | Ľubomír Samák

Higher pressure from the location around the impeller hub. This will probably be addressed by more fan manufacturers in the coming period. Each will go about it in a slightly different way, and MSI also revealed its “strategy” for achieving more attractive results at Computex (24). With fans with one, two, three, … eighteen blades arranged in two rows. It will start to be sold in PC cases. Read more ““Two fans in one”. MSI plans an unconventional concept” »

Intel’s new P-Core: Lion Cove is the biggest change since Nehalem

Analysis, News, Processors | | Jan Olšan

Intel revealed its next-gen Lunar Lake mobile processor at Computex 2024, to be released this summer. It will power Copilot+ PCs with its fast NPU and is supposed to be highly power efficient, but it’s also extremely interesting because its new CPU architectures are also coming to future Arrow Lake desktop CPUs. First up, we’ll take a look at the big P-Core architecture, which represents the biggest changes in many years. Read more “Intel’s new P-Core: Lion Cove is the biggest change since Nehalem” »

Hell froze over, Noctua is working on a liquid cooler. It’s very special

CPU coolers, Fans, News | | Jan Olšan

Now that’s news we didn’t expect from Computex 2024: Noctua, possibly the most famous coolers and fans company, has presented a liquid cooler. What’s unusual is that Noctua is focused on silent operation (which liquid cooler pumps tend to have a problem with) and reliability, and has insisted on not making any AIO liquid coolers, until now. Noctua’s liquid cooler, however, takes a different route than usual. Read more “Hell froze over, Noctua is working on a liquid cooler. It’s very special” »

News, Processors | | Ľubomír Samák

After a long wait, it’s here. During its presentation at Computex 2024, AMD unveiled the Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs, the first of the generation of CPUs based on the Zen 5 architecture. We now have confirmed specifications and also the IPC of this architecture (the officially stated value, at least). According to AMD, these are the fastest “consumer PC” processors of today, and the company has already shown the first performance claims. Read more “Ryzen 9000 is here.

MSI’s first motherboard using new CAMM2 memory

Memory, Motherboards, News | | Jan Olšan

Some time ago, we reported that CAMM2 (or LPCAMM2) compression memory modules could be extended from laptops to desktops in the future, where they could improve performance or enable the use of LPDDR-type memory. Now there is even talk that may move desktop processors from using DDR6 to LPDDR6 memory. MSI has shown what this could look like, and has already shown the first prototype motherboard for CAMM2 memory. Read more “MSI’s first motherboard using new CAMM2 memory” »

New Endorfy (PSU) cable: From two 8-pins to one 16-pin

News, PSUs | | Ľubomír Samák

While Endorfy still doesn’t have ATX 3.x PSUs, it is releasing a cable for powering high-performance GeForce graphics cards directly (without an adapter) even with an “older” ATX 2.xx PSU. The Supremo FM5 HPWR cable has a 12+4-pin, or a 16-pin connector on one side, and connects via two PCIe eight-pin connectors on the other side, on the PSU side. In addition to the high current carrying capacity, Endorfy also emphasized installation convenience. Read more “New Endorfy (PSU) cable: From two 8-pins to one 16-pin” »

ID-Cooling has a super cheap 360 mm AIO cooler

Cooling, CPU coolers, News | | Ľubomír Samák

While the vast majority of high-performance AIO coolers are priced well above the most powerful tower coolers, ID-Cooling goes in the opposite direction. Their liquid cooler, referred to as the FX360 Pro, is cheaper and at the same time on the outside there is no indication that it shouldn’t have a high TDP. The manufacturer claims 350W, which are backed by a large radiator, what seems to be a powerful pump, and the fans don’t look bad either. Read more “ID-Cooling has a super cheap 360 mm AIO cooler” »
