Intel Core i7-10700K: lower digit, lower price, higher performance?

Extra tests, Processors | | Tomáš Brestovanský

In the latest Core i9-10900K test, we found it to be great for high fps games, but the power draw, price and performance are not as good as the competition, AMD, offers. Intel still maintained its lead in games, but the 10900K is definitely not an ideal processor. If games are your priority, the alternative may be the Core i7-10700K which is actually just a redesignated and slightly modified Core i9-9900K.

Encryption


In encryption, 10700K and 9900K are practically identical.

Encoding

The 2–3% advantage of 9900K in encoding again is just about optimization. There is probably no other logical explanation.

Memory tests




The differences between the Intels in memory tests are only 1 – 3% which is completely negligible. However, they all have slower copying compared to AMD which is interesting. On the contrary, they offer significantly lower latency than 3900X.

AMD Chipset Cards Adding PCIe, SATA Lanes Emerge in China

Chipsets, News | | Jan Olšan

Although chipsets are considered a specialized component characteristic of motherboards, a chipset is actually not all that critical (or even required at all) on AMD’s AM4 and AM5 desktop platforms. Chipsets such as the B650 are just bridges that expand PCIe 4.0 (and SATA) connectivity. And as it turns out, they can do this as add-in cards as well. You can even use one to add M.2 or SATA interfaces to an Intel processor. Read more “AMD Chipset Cards Adding PCIe, SATA Lanes Emerge in China” »

What can Instinct MI455X tell us about RDNA 5 GPUs? [Analysis]

Graphics, News | | Jan Olšan

Last month, AMD unveiled its CDNA 5 architecture-based Instinct MI455X AI accelerators. This matters even outside AI and server workloads, because CDNA 5 is now related to the RDNA 5 architecture that will power the next generation of Radeon gaming GPUs. Let’s take a look at what the new Instincts reveal about RDNA 5 and what else has leaked about this architecture. This includes one change that is rather surprising.

HWiNFO Now Shows Temps of Individual Video Memory Chips

Graphics, News, Software | | Jan Olšan

Not long ago, HWiNFO gained the ability to monitor GPU hotspot temperatures—local hotspots with significantly higher temps than the average having been reported by Nvidia chips. This has been followed by another improvement in graphics card temperature monitoring. You will now be able to look at the temperatures of all memory chips on the card, which can reveal cooling problems in much the same way as the GPU hotspot temperature.
