NVIDIA retains its hold of the GPU market while the competing products from AMD & Intel are on a decline in major DIY markets. NVIDIA's Mainstream GPUs Still The Most Popular Choice Among Gamers on Steam, AMD & Intel Nowhere Close NVIDIA and AMD are about to introduce their new GPUs in a month or two, while the existing GPU market seems to be in favor of NVIDIA, at least as per the Steam Survey. Both are the biggest GPU manufacturers in the PC hardware industry, but NVIDIA is able to keep its hold in various parts of the world […]
RADV driver fix delivers an incredible performance boost on RDNA 2 hardware using FSR 2, reducing the performance gap that existed for two years. Valve engineer fixes problems with the RADV driver by reworking just ten lines of code to deliver a 228% boost in performance in FSR2 titles The Mesa 24.3 has finally fixed the major issue with the RADV(Radeon Vulkan) driver, which led to inferior performance compared to AMD's proprietary AMDVLK/AMDGPU-PRO Vulkan driver. This performance gap existed for nearly 2 years when the FSR 2 was turned on in games. It has been successfully fixed by Valve's Linux […]

AMD's upcoming FSR package could solve the noise issue on path-traced frames with AMD's proprietary neural supersampling and denoising techniques. AMD will reportedly follow NVIDIA (DLSS Ray Reconstruction) in its course for developing AI-based denoising techniques & neural supersampling NVIDIA has come far with its upscaling techniques, which have solved the performance issues in demanding scenes for modern titles when ray tracing is turned on. As soon as NVIDIA started implementing various ray tracing and upscaling techniques, AMD and Intel also followed with their own FSR and XeSS upscaling methods. While DLSS has matured quite decently in the past years, […]
Intel CEO Patrick Gelsinger's comments about the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's (TSMC) manufacturing presence in China soured relations between the two firms and eventually led to Intel missing out on key discounts offered by TSMC, according to a fresh report from Reuters. Intel is currently focusing on manufacturing chips with its 18A manufacturing process, and Reuters' report shares that before Gelsinger's comments, TSMC was offering Intel a whopping 40% discount for its 3 nanometer process manufacturing family. However, the Taiwanese firm decided to withdraw the offer following Gelsinger's remarks. Intel CEO's Remarks About TSMC's Taiwan Risk Soured Relations Between Two […]
Intel is reportedly eying toward utilizing disaggregated GPU architectures, as Team Blue filed a patent that allows them to leverage dedicated logic "chiplets." Intel's Newest Patent Filing Shows The Future of GPU Designs, Moving Away From Monolithic Structures To Specialized Chiplets Well, for enthusiasts, the leap towards moving away from monolithic designs towards adopting smaller, specialized chiplets is an ambition that they certainly see the future of the markets in, and with Intel filing a new patent relevant to this, it is indeed exciting to say that the firm will adopt disaggregated GPU designs moving into the future, although we […]
Intel Core Ultra 9 285K has seen good initial sales in the US & Japan's DIY market but the total shipped volume to retailers isn't high. Intel Core Ultra 9 285K is now selling with Z890 motherboards in kits in Japan as the CPU quickly sells out, and is also out of stock at major US-based retailers Intel launched its Arrow Lake Core Ultra 200S processors on 24th October worldwide. The reviews are out, including ours, which show that the Core Ultra 200S processors are lackluster in gaming but good at productivity and power efficiency. Despite the slight regression in […]
CUDIMM DDR5 memory is already crossing the 10,000 MT/s mark and this time it's on the Gigabyte Z890 AORUS Tachyon with Intel Core Ultra 200S CPUs. Gigabyte flexes its overclocking capabilities of Z890 AORUS TACHYON ICE: Achieves over 10,000 MT/s speed On one side, the memory makers are on a spree making the fastest DDR5 memory modules, while on the other, motherboard manufacturers are making sure their newest boards can support incredibly high frequencies. Now achieving 10,000 MT/s or higher doesn't seem to be too far-fetched as one of the latest Gigabyte's Z890 motherboards has already achieved this incredible feat. […]
Overclockers are already breaking world records on the latest Intel platforms, reaching 7.5 GHz clock speeds on the Core Ultra 9 285K CPU. ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 Apex takes the lead with incredible overclocking potential for both CPU and DDR5 memory Intel has just launched its Core Ultra 200S processors for desktops and overclockers have already started breaking world records. While we are still in the early phase of overclocking the Core Ultra 200S processors, it looks like ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 Apex has proved itself to be worthy of being one of the best Z890 motherboards. The ROG Maximus […]
AMD EPYC 9005 "Zen 5" CPUs use the Linux P-State driver to improve performance per watt compared to the previous generations. AMD is moving forward from ACPI CPUFreq Linux driver to ACPI CPPC for better control of EPYC "Zen 5" CPUs AMD has posted patches for Linux kernel that will now change how users would be able to control EPYC server parameters. Up until now, most EPYC families were using the ACPI CPUFreq Linux driver, which gives limited control over CPU power and performance management. With the latest update, the latest EPYC families can benefit greatly since it will enhance […]
While TSMC's 5nm & 3nm lead the revenue charts, it looks like the next-gen 2nm process node is looking at higher demands. While 3nm & 5nm brought higher revenue, 2nm exceeds in demand as per TSMC TSMC's quarterly revenue report is out and the company is now in a good position than ever. TSMC saw big profits in Q3 2024, surpassing last year's record, which as per the company's chairman will keep on going for the next five years. Additionally, we can see that its smaller process nodes are now being shipped the most to its customers, bringing in more […]
