First tests of Core i7-11800H: Intel has a great processor, but AMD solutions are still better
Intel recently finally launched its top-end high-performance Tiger Lake-H processors with six and eight cores to compete with the Ryzen 5000H. Before the release of new products, Intel in this field was quite mediocre, since the company offered very old CPUs.
The Core i7-11800H is the youngest eight-core processor in the line, which is possibly the most beneficial for users. How good is this CPU? The answer is given by extensive testing of TechSpot.
To begin with, let us recall that we are talking about an eight-core CPU of the Tiger Lake generation with support for Hyper-Threading, frequencies of 2.3-4.6 GHz, TDP 35-45 W and a new generation Intel UHD Graphics graphics core. In this case, we give only a few illustrative diagrams, but at the source you can see more tests.
As you can see, relative to its predecessors in the face of Core i7-10750H and Core i7-10870H, the new processor is, on average, noticeably faster, although in some applications the increase is only a few percent.
In comparison with the AMD processor, the situation is already more interesting. Ryzen 7 5800H wins in more tests, and almost always we are talking about resource-intensive applications and benchmarks that can load a large number of cores. That is, AMD’s solution is still faster, but there is no longer that overwhelming advantage as it was with the previous Core H.
In Full HD games with a GeForce RTX 3070 mobile graphics card, the new Intel processor performs well. It is often faster than any current AMD CPU and any predecessor. At the same time, as usual, almost always the difference from changing the processor is not particularly significant.
In addition, AMD processors remain more energy efficient, especially under light to medium workloads.
And finally, of course, the question of price does not disappear anywhere. In the case of laptops, it is almost impossible to directly compare it, but the source says that from market observations and discussions of PC manufacturers, he can conclude that the Core i7-11800H is still more expensive than the Ryzen 7 5800H. Retail prices confirm this: similar laptops based on the Ryzen 7 5800H are several hundred dollars cheaper than models based on the Core i7-11800H, and sometimes even the versions with Ryzen 9 5900HX are cheaper.

JetStream are back. Palit GeForce RTX 4080 and 4070 Ti JetStream graphics cards unveiled – and they have one notable difference from the competition
Palit returns to the production of JetStream video cards. More than two years after the release of the GeForce RTX 3070 JetStream, the company introduced the GeForce RTX 4080 and 4070 Ti JetStream. These models differ from analogues in the absence of RGB backlighting.
At one time, manufacturers of various hardware were so carried away by the introduction of backlighting into everything that is possible that now its absence is already perceived as a “trick”. On the other hand, the frequencies here are completely standard, and from this point of view, the lack of backlight is more of a savings factor.
Video cards look almost the same – and rather modestly. However, they are long – 329 mm (after all, there are three fans) and rather thick (they take up 3.1 slots). It is possible that dual-fan models will also appear in the JetStream series, but already based on the GeForce RTX 4070 or GeForce RTX 4060. The cost of new products has not yet been announced.

MSI CreatorPro X17 HX powerful mobile workstation introduced. With Core i9-13980HX, GeForce RTX 3500 Ada Laptop and Mini-LED 4K display
After Nvidia officially announced new mobile 3D workstation accelerators based on Ada Lovelace architecture yesterday, MSI today unveiled its flagship CreatorPro X17 HX workstation with such graphics. More specifically, the laptop uses a dGPU GeForce RTX 3500 Ada Laptop with 12 GB of GDDR6 memory.
Display – Mini-LED with a diagonal of 17.3 inches, a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels and a frame rate of 144 Hz. The display meets the requirements of the DisplayHDR 1000 standard and provides coverage of 100% of the DCI-P3 color space.
There are four slots for installing RAM, with a maximum of 128 GB of RAM. There are also two M.2 SSD slots, one of which supports PCIe 5.0.
Laptop configuration includes IR webcam, SteelSeries customizable RGB keyboard, fingerprint scanner, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, four Dynaudio system speakers, two USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 4 , three USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A, one each Mini DisplayPort and HDMI 2.1.
The battery capacity is 100 Wh. Notebook dimensions – 397 x 330 x 23 mm, weight – 3.3 kg.

Nvidia says its Grace CPU Superchip is twice as fast as x86-compatible processors for the same power consumption
Nvidia said that its Arm-based Grace CPU Superchip processor in tests with real workloads shows a twofold increase in performance compared to x86-compatible CPUs in the same range of power consumption. With which processors Nvidia compared, it is not specified.
The company says these figures mean data centers can handle twice as much peak traffic for the same power consumption if they switch to Grace. Or they can cut their energy bills by almost half while maintaining productivity.
Nvidia itself says that Grace provides such results thanks to three main factors. Firstly, these are 72 Arm Neoverse V2 cores in one CPU (Grace CPU Superchip, we recall, contains two CPUs on one board), and secondly, in fact, the combination of two such CPUs via the NVLink-C2C interface with a bandwidth of 900 GB / s , third, the use of server-class LPDDR5X memory.
