AMD’s Ryzen 7000 processors continue to capture leading positions across many popular benchmarking apps. Earlier this week, AMD officially publicized a quartet of world record benchmark scores, grasped by the yet-to-be-released ‘Raphael’ flagship, the Ryzen 9 7950X. Today the red team emailed Tom’s Hardware to tip us off that OC expert Sampson has been busy again, using liquid nitrogen cooling to push Cinebench benchmarking scores into the stratosphere.To quickly recap the benchmarks from earlier in the week, world…

AMD's Ryzen 7000 (Raphael) processors will be out soon, but the chipmaker has wasted no time showing off the Ryzen 9 7950X's overclocking prowess. Famed hardware detective Tum_Apisak (opens in new tab) has dug up some hidden CPU-Z submissions that showcase the Ryzen 9 7950X under liquid nitrogen (LN2), and the results are simply remarkable.Leading AMD's Ryzen 7000 army and potentially one of the best CPUs, the Ryzen 9 7950X wields 16 Zen 4 cores, 32 threads, and a 4.5 GHz base clock. The 16-core flagship has a boost…

(Image credit: Tom's Hardware via Intel)We're here in Israel for Intel's Technology Tour 2022, where the company is sharing new information about its latest products, much of it under embargo until a later date. However, the company did share a slide touting that Raptor Lake is capable of operating at 6GHz at stock settings and that it has set a world overclocking record at 8GHz - obviously with liquid nitrogen (here's our deep dive on the 13th-Gen Intel processors). Intel also shared impressive performance projections…

There is no doubt that AMD's looming Zen 4 processors will vie for a spot on the list of best CPUs. The chipmaker will officially announce the Ryzen 7000 (Raphael) chips on August 29; however, a new rumor suggests that the flagship Ryzen 7 7950X could boost up to a spectacular 5.85 GHz.According to a previous leak, the Ryzen 9 7950X reportedly checks in with a 5.7 GHz boost clock. However, a Weibo user (opens in new tab) claims that the Fmax (maximum frequency limit) on the 16-core Zen 4 part is higher. As a result, the…

As we get closer to the looming launch of Intel's 13th Generation Core 'Raptor Lake' processors, we learn more about them and sometimes even get a sneak peek at their performance numbers in synthetic benchmarks. This time around someone has posted benchmark results of Intel's 65W Core i9-13900 processor to the Geekbench 5 database (via @BenchLeaks), allegedly revealing its specifications and performance numbers. For now, take the numbers with a pinch of salt.Intel's Core i9-13900 is fully-fledged Raptor Lake silicon with…

A video test featuring what is claimed to be an Intel Core i9-13900KF Qualification Sample (QS) has been published online. We have seen videos and benchmarks of purported Core i9-13900 CPUs previously, but this time around the chip is being cooled using a highly capable liquid loop chiller. It was found that the new Raptor Lake flagship’s P-cores could run stably at up to 6.1 GHz in some benchmarks, using this thermal solution.Bilibili PC tech social media star Extreme Player has returned with some more testing, and…

YouTuber ScatterBencher (opens in new tab) has shown off some GPU-Z screenshots teasing impressive graphics card overclocking work in progress. The OC expert, known by the handle MassMan on HWBot, has coaxed the lethargic Intel Arc A380 graphics card into a sprightly 3.1 GHz performer. That clock speed represents a 55% uplift compared to stock and far exceeds factory overclocked samples.The 3.1 GHz Intel Arc A380 tale raises quite a few questions. First, why overclock the Arc A380 to extremes? Probably just ‘because it…

AMD's Ryzen 7000 (Raphael) processors with Zen 4 cores will arrive this fall to disrupt the best CPUs on the market. However, hardware leaker Enthusiastic Citizen (opens in new tab) has spoiled us with the potential specifications for the next-generation chips. Then, out of the blue, ASRock released an official statement via its Weibo account (opens in new tab) denying that the information came from the company, suggesting that the specifications are probably accurate.Like Ryzen 5000 (Vermeer), Ryzen 7000 will max out at…

As Tweeted by HXL, (opens in new tab) overclocker TSAIK has set the Cinebench R23 world record with a Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5995WX overclocked to 5.15 GHz on liquid nitrogen. The Threadripper system scored a whopping 11,6142 points (opens in new tab), 10% higher than the previous world record holder Splave with his 5.23 GHz on the 64-core Ryzen Threadripper 3990X.Without a doubt, the new world record score is a testament to AMD's IPC improvements found in its Zen 3 architecture, including a unified L3 cache across each…

Right now at Newegg, the MSI Modern 15A Home & Business laptop (opens in new tab) is marked down to $759 from its recommended price of $1279. This is a significant discount for the laptop which was only just released this past May. The price is quite notable when taking into account its 4.5 GHz processor and 1 TB SSD.This edition of the MSI Modern 15A Home & Business laptop is part of a Shell Shocker deal which is scheduled to expire on July 10th. The laptop is intended for professional use and is backed up with…
