Sapphire RX 6600 XT Pulse: RTX 3060 is no match in Full HD

Extra tests, Graphics | | Ľubomír Samák

Radeons RX 6600 XT are the most powerful graphics cards with the small AMD Navi 23 core. The Navi 22 in the RX 6700 XT is naturally better, but it still humbles the GeForce RTX 3060 with ease. However, in making this bold claim, it should be clarified that this dominance only works perfectly under certain circumstances – at lower resolutions without ray-tracing. This graphics card, in short, begs for high-speed monitor gamers with FHD resolutions.

AMD confirms development of little “LP” core for Zen 6

News, Processors | | Jan Olšan

When AMD came back nine years ago with the Zen core, its strategy was to eliminate the split between big and little (Bobcat and Jaguar) cores and cover the entire market with a single, balanced architecture. Intel, on the other hand, moved to hybrid (big.LITTLE) CPUs. AMD is apparently going there too, now. It has used classic and compact cores where both shared the same architecture so far, but now there will be a separate low-power core.

ZLUDA project enables PhysX effects on Radeon graphics cards

PhysX effects simulating realistic physics are a good example of the risks associated with proprietary technologies in games. Nvidia kept them as an exclusive feature available only on GeForce graphics cards for years, only to ditch support on the new RTX 5000 series, causing the effects to stop working. Ironically, this may have been the catalyst for an independent emulation effort that, years later, brings them to Radeon GPUs.

AMD Re-Enables RAM Encryption on Ryzen CPUs Following Criticism

News, Processors | | Jan Olšan

Recently, reports spread that AMD had disabled TSME, one of the Ryzen CPU security features without warning. It’s a bit more complicated than that, however, as this was not a regular default feature, but rather a Pro SKUs technology that was only present on standard Ryzen CPUs unofficially if not accidentally. The media attention seems to have resulted in access to TSME technology being restored for the non-Pro Ryzen processors, though.
