Seby9123, one of the world’s top professional overclockers, set a new DDR5 SDRAM data transfer record of 11,240 MT/s at G.Skill’s overlocking competition at Computex last week. Using premium hardware, liquid nitrogen, and a lot of magic, he has managed to increase the stock speed of G.Skill’s DDR5-7800 module by 44%.
AMD’s Instinct MI300 is shaping up to be an incredible chip with CPU and GPU cores and a hefty slab of high-speed memory brought together on the same processor, but details have remained slight. Now we’ve gathered some new details from an International Super Computing (ISC) 2023 presentation that outlines the coming two-exaflop El Capitan supercomputer that will be powered by the Instinct MI300.
Colorful this week introduced its new CVN Icicle DDR5-6600 32 GB memory kit aimed at enthusiasts and featuring a unique cooling system. Apparently, these DRAM sticks are said to feature impressive overclocking potential as they have almost achieved the world’s overclocking record for DDR5 memory with their impressive DDR5-10708 CL56 data transfer rate. Interestingly, the modules are not too expensive.
Although rumors have claimed otherwise, Intel’s 14th Generation Meteor Lake processors may debut in the desktop space after all. If the LGA1851 Meteor Lake-S interposer indicates anything, Intel appears to be testing a desktop variant of Meteor Lake. Maybe the tool serves other internal purposes, so we shouldn’t get our hopes up.
Intel has issued a product change notification (PCN) which discontinues various 11th Generation Tiger Lake mobile processors. The retirees include several SKUs from the Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, Core i9, and Xeon W line-ups. Tiger Lake launched between 2020 and 2021, so they aren’t long in the tooth.
Officially, Intel Arrow Lake is expected to be a tuned and optimized follow up to Meteor Lake on the Intel 4 process. These processors are scheduled to be released in the 2023-24 timeframe – pretty soon – so the intensity of leaks has naturally been increasing. Now, the popular PC diagnostic app HWiNFO has made the first mention of adding support for Arrow Lake-S(opens in new tab) processors.
Intel 600-series and 700-series motherboards have welcomed the latest 24GB and 48GB DDR5 memory modules. The same support could come to the AMD 600-series motherboards with the next AGESA firmware update.
Much of what we’ve heard about AMD’s latest Dragon Range high-end mobile processor platform so far has been impressive, whether that be early benchmarks or claims from AMD. And the recent Geekbench 5 results for the flagship 5.4 Ghz 16-core Ryzen 9 H7945HX seem to solidify the trend, seeing it edge past Intel’s Core i9-13980X in the single-core test, while falling just slightly behind on multi-core.
AMD published its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2022. Due to strong demand for AMD’s data center EPYC processors, the company posted an all-time record revenue for the full year. Meanwhile, sales of consumer CPUs and GPUs declined significantly in the fourth quarter, which clearly limited the company’s growth in Q4.
