And so far only in one test Yesterday, the Chinese company Loongson finally released its 3A6000 processor to the market , which in a number of tests is actually not inferior to the Ryzen 3 3100 and Core i3-10100F . It turned out that it can even compete with the Core i5-14600K! True, only at the same frequency. [caption id="attachment_84905" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Core i5-14600K[/caption] Recent tests have shown that in the UnixBench test the new Chinese CPU performs at the level of the Core i3-10100, if the frequency of the latter is lowered to 2.5 GHz, like the 3A6000. And in the Spec CPU 2006 test, the same thing happens when comparing the Chinese new product with the Core i5-14600K! Moreover, in one of the modes the latter is even a little slower. The Chinese quad-core Loongson 3A6000 processor is capable of competing with the Core i5-14600K. This indicates the great potential of the Loongson architecture, but, of course, in practice the frequencies still differ by more than twice. In addition, these are separate tests and sometimes separate modes in these tests, so we still don’t have the full picture. But we can say for sure that buying a Loongson 3A6000 for a home PC in order to overclock it well and reach the performance of modern AMD and Intel CPUs is a bad idea. Apparently, the overclocking potential is either in general or is still quite weak. Regular overclocking allows you to increase the frequency from 2.5 to only 2.63 GHz, and liquid nitrogen allows you to achieve 3 GHz, but here the motherboard BIOS limitation comes into force. So perhaps extreme overclocking is possible to higher frequencies.

This is one and a half times faster than the overclocked Xeon W9-3495X The monstrous 96-core Threadripper Pro 7995WX processor continues to tear old records to shreds. As soon as we had time to talk about  1.1 million points in 7zip and 184,000 in Cinebench R23 , the processor immediately reached a completely different height: more than 200,000 points in Cinebench R23! [caption id="attachment_84145" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Threadripper Pro 7995WX[/caption] More precisely, the result was 201,501 points. The Elmor OC team, which set the record, used liquid nitrogen and overclocked the CPU to 6 GHz. [caption id="attachment_84146" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Threadripper Pro 7995WX[/caption] Threadripper Pro 7995WX sets new records At the same time, the processor consumed a monstrous 1.58 kW, however, at one time the Xeon W9-3495X showed a much lower result, consuming almost 1.9 kW. https://youtu.be/CP6vuvOVTcc It is likely that many records will still be achieved with the participation of the Threadripper Pro 7995WX. But whether Intel will be able to release something of the same level in this segment in the coming years is still an open question. The upcoming Xeon Scalable Emerald Rapids generation will not offer a significant increase in the number of cores, nor any completely new architecture.

There are still a few years left before such a memory is released. HBM4 memory will appear on the market only in a few years, but it has already become known that its appearance may be associated with a small revolution in the field of semiconductor production. Hynix is ​​reportedly working with Nvidia and other manufacturers on technology that will allow HBM4 memory chips to be placed directly on the computing chip. [caption id="attachment_83411" align="aligncenter" width="600"] CPUs and GPUs[/caption] Now HBM memory is placed on the same substrate as the CPU or GPU, but next to it. Placing memory on the CPU/GPU will not only change the way logic and memory devices are typically connected, it will also change the way they are manufactured. This will change the way CPUs and GPUs are made. In fact, this is approximately the same as AMD's 3D V-Cache, only with a different type of memory. SK Hynix has now begun recruiting specialists to design logic semiconductors such as CPUs and GPUs and is discussing its HBM4 integration design method with several companies without its own manufacturing capabilities, including Nvidia. It is likely that Hynix and Nvidia will initially jointly develop a specific GPU, and then TSMC will produce this chip and immediately place HBM4 memory on top. Considering the type of memory, we are clearly talking about specialized accelerators for AI or data centers. [caption id="attachment_83412" align="aligncenter" width="385"] CPUs and GPUs[/caption] Hynix took on this idea for a reason. The thing is that HBM4 memory will use a 2048-bit interface to connect to host processors, so the latter will be extremely complex and expensive. A direct connection between memory and CPU/GPU will simply be cheaper. However, it is too early to draw any conclusions, since on the way to such implementation there is a very banal problem - heating. The consumption of the Nvidia H100 accelerator is very high, and in a few years such solutions can consume much more. Memory also consumes a lot, and when all this is placed next to each other, there are no problems with cooling. And when a “sandwich” is created, the heating increases significantly with a smaller area of ​​the final crystal. Perhaps Nvidia accelerators in a few years will initially be designed exclusively for liquid cooling.

True, only server ones Samsung, it seems, can finally compete more seriously with TSMC in the semiconductor market. It is reported that the Korean giant will even receive orders for AMD processors. [caption id="attachment_82935" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AMD processors[/caption] More precisely, Samsung will allegedly produce Prometheus server processors based on Zen 5c cores. True, only low-end models, while the top ones will still be produced by TSMC, and using a 3 nm process technology, that is, apparently, they will be much more energy efficient. New AMD processors will be produced by Samsung Samsung's achievement is that it was able to achieve a die yield rate of 70%, which matches TSMC's figure, which means that there can be more production and it can be cheaper. For AMD, this is an opportunity to diversify risks, which is important given how heavily TSMC’s capacity has been loaded lately. This is also important from the point of view that the current year has shown how critical AI will be for the market in the near future, and this in turn creates a huge demand for corresponding accelerators. And it may turn out that manufacturers will opt to produce more of the corresponding chips, sacrificing consumer CPUs and/or GPUs. In this scenario, an additional manufacturer with a modern technological process will definitely not be superfluous.

This is the Emerald Rapids generation The first leak has appeared on the Internet regarding the new Emerald Rapids generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, which will be presented on December 14 along with Meteor Lake . [caption id="attachment_79561" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Intel processor[/caption] The flagship Xeon Platinum 8592+ has been revealed, which will offer 64 cores, which does not yet look particularly impressive compared to AMD’s 96-core monsters. And relative to Sapphire Rapids, this is an increase of only 4 cores. All cores, by the way, will be large. Technically, these are Raptor Cove cores, like the current Raptor Lake. The new CPU will receive 320 MB of third-level cache. The total with the L2 cache is already 448 MB. This will be one of the main improvements over the current generation Xeon Scalable. [caption id="attachment_79562" align="aligncenter" width="760"] Intel processor[/caption] The peak power of this Intel processor can reach 922W. 64-core Xeon Platinum 8592+ appeared on the Internet The test sample had frequencies of 1.9-3.9 GHz, and all cores can simultaneously operate at 2.5 GHz. The production CPU is expected to operate at frequencies of 2.0-4.0 GHz. The power limits PL1 and PL2 are 350 and 420 W, respectively. The peak reaches 764 W, but the CPU can be configured so that the value reaches 922 W. [caption id="attachment_79563" align="aligncenter" width="483"] Intel processor[/caption] The test copy in the CPU-Z benchmark scored 610 and 25,741 points in single-threaded and multi-threaded modes, respectively, but the result is not very good, which is apparently due to the unavailability of the software.

These are Lenovo models based on Core Ultra 5 125H and Core Ultra 7 155H While Intel is only going to introduce Meteor Lake processors in mid-December, some stores have already begun adding laptops with such CPUs to their assortment. For now, of course, virtually.  [caption id="attachment_77792" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Intel Core Ultra[/caption] For example, one of the stores in Bulgaria listed two Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 models with a CPU Core Ultra 5 125H and a Core Ultra 7 155H. They are asking for almost 1400 and 1600 dollars respectively.  The first laptops with Intel Core Ultra appeared in the online store at prices starting from $1,400 [caption id="attachment_77793" align="aligncenter" width="518"] Intel Core Ultra[/caption] The laptops themselves seem to be equipped quite well. The presence of 32 GB of RAM, a 1 TB SSD, and a 14-inch 3K screen with a frequency of 120 Hz is indicated. But at the same time, we do not yet fully understand the performance of the new Intel CPUs and their energy efficiency, so it is impossible to evaluate the indicated prices relative to other models on the market.

In single-threaded mode, the Core i9-14900KF beat everyone The Core i9-14900KF processor appeared in the PassMark benchmark database and immediately became the leader in the single-threaded performance rating. [caption id="attachment_58562" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Intel CPU[/caption] Despite the fact that technically the Core i9-14900K/KF is a complete copy of the Core i9-13900KS, apparently, there are some settings related to power limits. As a result, the new model is still a little faster than its predecessor, although this is unlikely to be noticeable in practice. The results of the new Intel CPU have appeared in PassMark But in multi-threaded mode, which is much more important from a practical point of view, everything is more interesting: the new product differs vanishingly little in performance from the Core i9-13900K and is even inferior to the Core i9-13900KS. And all of them are noticeably behind the Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

But it's synthetic It looks like faster memory could significantly speed up upcoming Intel processors. The Core i9-14900KF with DDR5-7000 memory performed much better in the Geekbench test than the Core i9-14900K with DDR5-4800. [caption id="attachment_56054" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Intel processors[/caption] The new result was 3347 and 23,051 points in single-threaded and multi-threaded modes, respectively. Result with slower memory: 3140 and 19,134 points.  Of course, in all cases, allowance must be made for the fact that non-serial samples can pass the tests, but in any case, this is a good increase relative to the Core i9-13900K, which is technically no different from the new product.   With Intel processors, it's time to buy fast DDR5. [caption id="attachment_56055" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Intel processors[/caption] It is also worth remembering that Geekbench is still a synthetic benchmark, and in real applications, the gain may be significantly lower. Especially where the software is insensitive to memory frequency.

Initially, only K and KF models will appear The Videocardz resource reports that its sources have revealed the launch date of the new Intel Raptor Lake Refresh processors. The advertising embargo will be lifted on October 16, meaning on this day Intel partners will be able to disclose various details about their products related to the new CPUs. On October 17, at 16:00 Moscow time, the embargo on reviews will be lifted. Sales start on the same day. [caption id="attachment_54848" align="alignnone" width="780"] Intel processors[/caption] New and old Intel processors will be released on October 17, but not all It is worth noting that these dates only apply to the top-end Core i9-14900K, Core 7-14700K, and Core i5-14600K models, as well as their F versions with the iGPU disabled. That is, as almost always in recent years, the top models of the new generation will hit the market first, and everyone else will have to wait. However, let us remind you that in the Raptor Lake Refresh line, only Core i7 models will offer something conditionally new, which will have more cores than the 13th generation Core i7. In all other cases, we will only talk about increasing frequencies.
