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

Extra tests, Processors | | Tomáš Brestovanský

Encryption, encoding and memory tests

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.

Windows 11 stops working on more processors, requires SSE4.2

News, Processors | | Jan Olšan

This year, the vague uncertainty about Windows 11 not supporting older computers turned into reality, as the OS began using the POPCNT instruction, causing it to stop working on many processors. However, this was not all and the requirements may increase further. In fact, now Windows 11 is starting to require additional instruction set extensions that will shut down more processor families, including Phenoms and the first APUs.

RDNA 4 Radeon GPUs: specs and performance of both chips leaked

Graphics, News | | Jan Olšan

Previously, new GPU generations were coming in 2-year cycles, which would mean a launch this fall. However, Nvidia’s roadmap has put the GeForce RTX 5000 launch into 2025 some time ago. AMD is still unclear on the launch date of Radeon RX 8000s, but there’s some chance it’s within this year. The specs of these GPUs using RDNA 4 architecture have now surfaced on the internet. If they are real, it might even point to a release relatively soon. Read more “RDNA 4 Radeon GPUs: specs and performance of both chips leaked” »

AMD to produce lowend CPUs and GPUs using Samsung’s 4nm node

Graphics, News, Processors | | Jan Olšan

Back when the groundbreaking Ryzen processors launched, AMD was still manufacturing almost all of its products at GlobalFoundries, with the exception of chipsets designed by ASMedia. But now, by contrast, it is almost fully tied to the fortunes of TSMC. However, it looks like there could soon be some diversification in place. Samsung-made chips are coming to low-cost processors and they’ll also appear in Radeon graphics cards later. Read more “AMD to produce lowend CPUs and GPUs using Samsung’s 4nm node” »
