The Chinese brand Gunnir presented a completely unexpected solution – a discrete MXM format video card for a laptop based on the Intel Arc 380 GPU. Everything is interesting here.

Most modern laptops are equipped with a GPU soldered to the motherboard. Such GPUs can either be part of the CPU or be separate solutions – dGPUs, but, regardless of this, they are integrated into the motherboard. The previously widespread format of full-fledged discrete video cards MXM (mobile module on the PCI Express bus) has practically lost its relevance. So, the last 3D cards of this format on Nvidia GPUs were released in 2019 (mobile GeForce RTX 2060, RTX 2070 and RTX 2080 for Clevo laptops), on AMD GPUs in 2017 (Radeon Pro WX 4150 Mobile and Radeon Pro WX 4170 Mobile ). But the Chinese Gunnir, for some reason, decided to revive the production of MXM accelerators.

LM-A380-6G, this is how the novelty is marked, is interesting not only for the format itself, but also for the GPU. Intel’s Arc line of mobile 3D accelerators are the A370M and A350M, while Gunnir for the LM-A380-6G used the Arc A380 GPU from Intel’s desktop solution. Learned such a unique hybrid.

The LM-A380-6G is based on a full-featured ACM-G11 GPU with 8 Xe cores, 6 GB of GDDR6 memory and a 96-bit memory bus. It is made in accordance with the MXM 3.1 specifications and supports the PICe 4.0 interface (four bus lines). In China, the device can already be purchased for 1,900 yuan (approximately $280).

This is how the Radeon RX 7900 GRE for 570 euros can catch up with the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super for 840 euros. Overclocking the RX 7900 GRE gives a good boost

This is how the Radeon RX 7900 GRE for 570

AMD has solved the problem with overclocking the memory of the Radeon RX 7900 GRE video card, and recent tests have shown that the adapter now looks much more attractive. Of course, for those who want to resort to overclocking.

This is how the Radeon RX 7900 GRE for 570

The authors of Hardware Unboxed took the Sapphire adapter and overclocked it to 2.7 GHz for the core and 21.2 GHz for the memory.

As you can see, the performance increase turned out to be quite good. At 1440p, the overclocked card became 12% faster relative to the reference one, and at 4K the increase was almost 17%, which is very good by modern standards.

As a result, after overclocking, the RX 7900 GRE competes with the RTX 4070 Ti at 1440p, and reaches the RTX 4070 Ti Super at 4K. At the same time, the RX 7900 GRE in Europe costs from 570 euros, the RTX 4070 Ti – from 700 euros, and the RTX 4070 Ti Super – from 840 euros. Of course, Nvidia cards can also be overclocked, but the price difference will still remain.

Just four big cores, no Hyper-Threading, and this is Intel’s new flagship. The top processor of the Lunar Lake generation appeared on the Internet

Just four big cores no Hyper Threading and this is Intels

Not only new Intel video cards, but also a new processor appeared in the SiSoftware Sandra database today. The Lunar Lake model included in the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro is registered in the software database, revealing some of its parameters.

Just four big cores no Hyper Threading and this is Intels

The unnamed CPU contains only eight cores (four large and four small), but for Lunar Lake this is the maximum. The presence of only eight threads confirms leaks that future Intel CPUs do not support Hyper-Threading.

The processor operated at frequencies of 1.6-2.8 GHz. These are clearly far from the final frequencies, but Lunar Lake is created with an eye to maximum energy efficiency, so perhaps they will not have very high frequencies.

Just four big cores no Hyper Threading and this is Intels

The CPU also has 12 MB of L3 cache and a Xe2-LPG (Battlemage) generation GPU with 4 Xe cores and a frequency of 1.85 GHz.

According to the latest roadmap, Lunar Lake is expected at the end of this year.

Such Intel processors allegedly do not exist at all, but there is already a motherboard for them. IBASE MI1002 is designed for desktop Core Ultra

Such Intel processors allegedly do not exist at all but

Intel Meteor Lake processors only exist in mobile versions. Or not? The IBASE MI1002 industrial motherboard indicates that Intel is either planning or has already released Core Ultra as a desktop CPU.

Such Intel processors allegedly do not exist at all but

The board with the LGA 1851 socket is designed for Meteor Lake-PS, which Intel has not officially presented. There were rumors and leaks about such desktop CPUs, but then it became known that Intel abandoned the idea. True, there was also evidence that such processors would still be released, but not in retail, but would be available to mini-PC manufacturers. Whether such mini-PCs will appear in retail is still anyone’s guess, but in the industrial sector, as we see, yes.

As for the parameters of such CPUs, they are not yet available. Most likely, these are just mobile models in a different socket – Intel has already done this.
