MediaTek has just announced new chipsets specifically optimized for Chromebooks. However, it has not neglected its Dimensity line of SoCs for 5G phones, introducing a new variant called the 700. It, like the rest of its siblings, is 7nm, and has 8 cores. Of these, 2 are “big” ARM Cortex-A76s clocked at 2.2GHz, whereas the rest are “LITTLE” A55 cores at up to […]

At this point, quite a lot has been revealed about the Qualcomm Snapdragon 875. For starters, we know that it is a 5nm chip that will use its predecessor’s 1+3+4 configurations. Its AnTuTu and Master Lu benchmark results are also quite impressive compared to previous-generation hardware. Some leaked specifications now reaffirm what we already knew about the […]

@kopite7kimi has offered an insight into NVIDIA’s possible plans for the GA106, its entry-level GPU. Earlier this year, the same leaker alleged that NVIDIA would be using GA106 in the RTX 3050 and RTX 3060, but this has reputedly been changed to the RTX 3050 Ti and RTX 3060. Videocardz believes that NVIDIA plans to release an RTX 3050 still, […]

ARM’s new Cortex-A78C core is based on its previously launched A78. However, the company insists that it has diversified the audience for its series (which also consists of the A78E) with this core. It has apparently been optimized for “high performance, heavily threaded workloads”. Like the A78, this new C variant is compatible with the Mali-G78 GPU. However, it is geared toward […]

AMD has launched its Ryzen 5 5600X processor along with the rest of its Vermeer-based siblings, although it has yet to become available. However, this has not stopped it from bring very active in preliminary leaks about its performance. It may have demonstrated its superiority over the Intel Core i5-10600K in Cinebench scores today alone (November 2, 2020). The new APU may not […]

Even though ARM unveiled its Cortex-A78 and Cortex-X1 cores earlier this year, we are yet to see them in action. If recent benchmark results are anything to go by, they can pack quite a punch. We’ve only seen them in Exynos and Qualcomm chipsets so far. MediaTek is all set to join that list soon, according to a new leak. Weibo […]

Intel has traditionally held the single-core performance crown for many generations. AMD did get close to Intel 9th gen Coffee Lake, but Comet Lake once again showed good leads in single-core and gaming. With Ryzen 5000 Zen 3, Intel may not be in a comfortable position any longer. User /u/losh11 (@loshan1212) first posted CPU-Z results of […]

Several benchmark results of the upcoming RX 6800 may have leaked in the last few days, but AMD has published some gaming benchmark results for its trio of Radeon RX 6000 series cards. The company showcased the performance of the RX 6800, RX 6800 XT and RX 6900 XT at its launch event last week, […]

According to tipster @patrickschur_, a custom ASUS ROG STRIX Radeon RX 6800 XT part can boost as high as 2.5 GHz when running 3DMark 11. Interestingly, the engineering sample Schur talked about seemed to spend a lot of time at high clock speeds. In an update to his original post, Schur claimed that the ROG STRIX Radeon RX 6800 […]

We are just over a week away from the announcement of the Radeon RX 6000 series, but some interesting details about the upcoming cards have been shared online. Shared by @_rogame and @patrickshur_, the information is reputed to be the clock speeds of AMD’s ‘Big Navi’ graphics cards. According to @_rogame, AMD will release four variants of the Navi […]
