RX 6800 XT vs. RTX 3080. Part 2/2: Non-gaming tests

Extra tests, Graphics | | Ľubomír Samák

Without application/computational tests, graphics card tests would be incomplete. Therefore, we will focus on this area outside of gaming that most hardware magazines neglect. We understand the reasons, there are several of them, but even so, it is possible with a little effort to make at least a few measurements. So hopefully they will also help multimedia creators in choosing the right graphics card.

AMD Releases New Budget CPUs. Even for the AM4 Socket

News, Processors | | Jan Olšan

It looks like whole ten years since the time AMD officially launched the AM4 platform (initially for the Excavator architecture and only on the OEM market, in 2016), a new CPU will now be released for this socket. But not a completely new one. AMD has now released two configurations that did not previously exist, but are based on 2020 and 2022 silicon, and the first of them is coming to the older platform using DDR4.

Next-gen Radeon GPUs: RDNA 5 architecture clock targets leaked

Graphics, News | | Jan Olšan

2027 is approaching with new generations of GPUs, although they will be delayed compared to the previous two-year cycles. AMD has GPUs with the new RDNA 5 architecture coming, which could incorporate fairly major changes compared to today’s RDNA 4 based  GPUs, as well as a new manufacturing process. Thanks to the latter, clock speeds will apparently increase, although perhaps not by as much as one would have expected. Read more “Next-gen Radeon GPUs: RDNA 5 architecture clock targets leaked” »

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” »
