When Intel announced its public CPU and CPU microarchitecture roadmap last August, it did not formally confirm that its upcoming Sapphire Rapids processor will use its upcoming Golden Cove microarchitecture.

It looks like DDR5 RAM is almost ready for purchase. Chinese news outlet XFastest this week shared photographs of the first retail DDR5 memory modules from Crucial, showing the components in retail packaging, just aching to hit shelves.

Hardware detective Tum_Apisak has spotted AMD’s Ryzen 9 5900 in a new benchmark. The 12-core processor appears to be a complete monster, but it’s a shame that the chip is exclusive to OEMs.

Intel on Tuesday revealed its vision for the future called IDM 2.0, which is an evolution of the company’s integrated device manufacturing (IDM) model mixed with two contrasting ingredients: outsourcing and foundry services.

Intel’s 11th Generation Rocket Lake processors aren’t due until March 30. However, some retailers are already shipping out orders. One user from the Chiphell forums has gotten his hands on a retail Core i7-11700K, and it would appear that Intel is using a similar memory overclocking concept as AMD’s Infinity Fabric Clock (FCLK), but with Rocket Lake chips.

A Chinese overclocker has received what is believed to be the Ryzen 5750G Pro (due to TSME encryption) and revealed its impressive overclocking capabilities.

All of Intel’s Tiger Lake CPUs may not be out yet, but Intel apparently has pre-release mobile Alder Lake CPUs already in the wild. A 14 core mobile Alder Lake chip was spotted in Geekbench 5 flexing its iGP in the OpenCL benchmark.

Micron on Tuesday announced its new 1α fabrication process for DRAM. Initially, the company will use it to make DDR4 as well as LPDDR4 memory, but over time it will be used to produce all types of the company’s DRAM.

Since the announcement of AMD’s Zen 3 core microarchitecture, we’ve been expecting three series of products to be announced: desktop Ryzen, mobile Ryzen, and enterprise EPYC.
