Intel performs poorly with its Core Ultra 200S CPUs, while AMD, thanks to the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, makes big gains in the DIY Korean Market. Intel Core Ultra 200S sees poorer sales in South Korea than the previous generation, reducing Intel's CPUs share to just 38% while AMD gains big time Intel's Core Ultra 200S launch didn't meet Intel's expectations as far as gaming performance is concerned.

MSI's Memory Extension mode has brought up to 21% performance improvement on Intel's Core Ultra 200 CPUs by reducing memory latency. MSI's Memory Extension Mode, Designed For Intel's Core Ultra 200 CPUs, Brings In Impressive Performance Enhancements For those unaware, with the release of Intel's newest desktop CPU, MSI unveiled a unique feature for its 800-series motherboards called the "Memory Extension Mode," which comes in three different presets: Performance Mode, Benchmark Mode, and Memtest Mode. MSI's newest feature can pick up the best memory configurations based on the processor's integrated memory controller (IMC) and memory overclocking capabilities, ultimately allowing the […]
Intel has denied a CPU RMA request involving instability issues, citing that the processor utilized liquid-metal thermal paste, which is surprising. Intel's RMA Policy Has Become Inconsistent Following The Widespread CPU Instability Issues As Another Incident Emerges Online After the Intel CPU instability issues that stirred a new fiasco in the industry, Team Blue's RMA servicing has been slacking in some instances, and interestingly, most of such incidents involve the request being totally justified. Previously, we talked about how Intel failed to process a CPU RMA initiated for a "replacement" unit, and on one occasion, a user managed to get […]
Intel is investigating the possibility of its latest Core Ultra 200S CPUs performing better than what independent reviews showed in gaming. Intel says that there are multiple issues at the OS and BIOS level that have led to inferior gaming performance of desktop Arrow Lake chips, but the fix is on the way We all saw Intel's Arrow Lake, aka Core Ultra 200S CPU's performance results in gaming and productivity.
