DDR5 has been in the works for quite some time now. JEDEC published the preliminary spec sheet back in April, and in March Samsung announced its 2021 mass production plans. Now, SK hynix has come around to tell us that it is launching the first DDR5 modules — a world first.

Intel’s highly-anticipated launch of Tiger Lake processors puts the company in a rather comfortable position in the market of CPUs for thin-and-light laptops. But the semiconductor giant needs to offer something new for high-performance notebooks and compact desktops too, so it quietly added two new Comet Lake-H processors into its family.

Shortly after leaking several Tiger Lake promotional videos, Twitter user WalkingCat is making headlines again. This time, the leaker has shared two new videos where the 10nm SuperFin-powered Core i7-1185G7 goes up against AMD’s Ryzen 7 4800U in several scenarios.

As reported by Guru3D, Yuri “1usmus” Bubliy, the creator of DRAM Calculator for Ryzen, is cooking up a new piece of free software for AMD Ryzen owners. The ClockTuner for Ryzen (CTR) aims to extract extra performance out of your Zen 2 processor while decreasing its power consumption.

Alder Lake may be one of Intel’s most confusing microarchitectures to date. That’s if the latest coreboot patch (spotted via Twitter user La Frite David) is accurate. Apparently, there will be a plethora of core combinations for the chipmaker’s upcoming Alder Lake-S and Alder Lake-P CPUs; however, we don’t know yet if every configuration will actually make it to market.

It couldn’t possibly be more of a disparate tale between Intel and AMD: Intel’s earnings last week found the company announcing that it faces a delay to its 7nm process node until 2023, sending the stock plummeting 16% in spite of its solid financials.

When it comes to memory records, we’re most used to seeing manufacturers or overclockers showing off their frequency peaks. However, another, perhaps a more practical reading are the read/write speed tests, of which Team Group has just set a new world record.

AMD has handily beaten its 2014 goal, known as “25×20,” to make its mobile CPUs 25 times more energy efficient by the year 2020. The company says that the AMD Ryzen 7 4800H beat the company’s baseline measurements by 31.7 times.

Intel recently hosted its Intel Partner Connect virtual event in Asia a couple of days ago. A roadmap from a presentation titled “Gaming and Creators: How to Win Enthusiasts” revealed that Intel might not launch a HEDT (high-end desktop) processor this year.
