Does the Ryzen 7 7800X3D need to use only the top X670 motherboard? The experiment showed that it is not necessary at all – a cheap model on the A620 will do.

After the start of sales of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor, some motherboard manufacturers (for example, Gigabyte, MSI and ASRock) were quick to assure that their budget models based on the AMD A620 chipset are fully compatible with the new CPU. The enthusiast undertook to check how true this is by choosing the Gigabyte A620 Gaming X motherboard as an example.

Does the Ryzen 7 7800X3D need to use only the top X670 motherboard?  The experiment showed that it is not necessary at all - a cheap model on the A620 will do.

It turned out that on a cheap motherboard, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D does not reach the maximum frequency: in tests, it was limited to 4.4-4.6 GHz, while on a motherboard based on the X670 chipset, the CPU overclocked to 4.8-4.9 GHz. Naturally, consumption also varies: the Ryzen 7 7800X3D installed in a cheap motherboard in the Cinebench test consumed 81 watts, while the consumption in the X670 motherboard reached 95 watts.

But what about the results in the tests? And here is the main surprise: in synthetic tests, the difference in performance was only 5%, and in games – no more than 3%. Hence the conclusion: Ryzen 7 7800X3D can be used with an inexpensive motherboard based on the A620 chipset – performance in games will hardly suffer from this.

Another point – perhaps it makes sense to pay attention to solutions based on the AMD B650 chipset. There are no longer power restrictions, and PCIe 5 support for SSDs will not be superfluous. And the surcharge for this is only 25-50 dollars.

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.

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.
