Intel’s 12th-gen laptops chips have made quite a leap forward, and we’ve been waiting for AMD’s response. And now, as tested in the new Zenbook S 13 OLED (UM5302), we’ve seen that response — at least partially. This new Zenbook S 13 features the Ryzen 7 6800U, part of AMD’s new Ryzen 6000 series of chips, packed away inside. These are a low-power variant intended for thin and light laptops and are based on the company’s Zen 3+ architecture. This won’t be a full review of the Zenbook S 13 OLED (that’s coming later),…

AMD and Qualcomm are teaming up to make the Wi-Fi in your business laptop faster.

But AMD and Qualcomm claim that by also bringing Microsoft in on the collab, laptops including the HP EliteBook 805 series…

(Image credit: Tom's Hardware)The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D vs Intel Core i7-12700K and Intel Core i9-12900K is a surprisingly close battle for gaming dominance, but AMD has leveraged a completely new cutting-edge 3D SRAM packaging technology, called 3D V-cache, to fuse an additional slab of L3 cache atop the chips' die, thus bringing capacity up to an unheard-of 96MB of L3.We’ll throw in the early spoiler: AMD’s $449 Ryzen 7 5800X3D is faster in gaming than the $409 Core i7-12700K and the $589 Core i9-12900K, but the chip…

Today we have deals on two Zen 3 AMD CPUs: the Ryzen 7 5800X for $309 and the Ryzen 5 5600X for $199 both at their lowest price per ‘the Camelizer’. These are some of the best CPUs for gaming and productivity tasks, and a great upgrade if you already own a socket AM4 motherboard.  To the delight of anyone requiring a graphics card, we have an MSRP-priced Asus Dual Radeon RX 6600 for $329 at Newegg. It's great to see the pricing of GPUs getting back to normal, here's hoping they fall even further. More deals are…

In a report by news outlet Electrek, 130,000 Tesla vehicles were recalled due to a CPU overheating issue found in certain models featuring Ryzen APUs, which can cause the vehicle's infotainment system to slow down or turn off. Fortunately, a software update has already been released to fix the issue.The overheating problem is triggered during the vehicle's battery pre-conditioning process while driving or during the fast charging process, where too much of the vehicle's cooling power is diverted toward the batteries.…

AMD has announced new Ryzen 5000 C-Series processors for Chromebooks, and one of the first companies to make use of the improved performance on offer is Acer with its 2022 Chromebook Spin 514 2-in-1 convertible.Often much cheaper than full-tilt laptops, Chromebooks have been a student favorite for years but can suffer in the performance department. That's not been too much of an issue though, since most users will spend much of their work and play time online so the devices don't necessarily need multi-core processors,…

Believe it or not, there was no such thing as an AMD Chromebook until 2019. Also, the first ones were sluggish, and whi;e AMD’s second stab at Chromebooks was quite a bit better, they still contained rebranded CPUs whose Zen cores were years out of date. Today, AMD is putting a better foot forward — with the new Ryzen 5000 C-Series chips, including the “first 8-core high-performance x86 processor for Chromebooks.” I mean, AMD’s still not putting its best foot forward, because these APUs will still sport last-gen AMD…

Now that its Q1 2022 financial results are public, AMD has teased its Ryzen 7000 CPUs. The new Zen 4 series processors will be the new “Dragon Range” series for laptops. AMD says that the CPUs will deliver the “highest core, thread and cache ever for a mobile gaming CPU.” It’s a bold claim, and one that we’ll need to wait at least another year to verify. AMD teases the Ryzen 7000 CPUs with unprecedented performance claims Well there we go, @AMD Dragon Range replaces the HX market, DDR5. Phoenix in the more…
