GeForce RTX 3060 8GB turned into RTX 3060 12GB, and the performance has increased significantly

The GeForce RTX 3070 has already been modified with 16 GB of memory, now it’s the turn of the RTX 3060. The authors of the Paulo Gomes channel took the younger version of the RTX 3060 8GB and added 4 GB of memory to it.

GeForce RTX 3060 8GB turned into RTX 3060 12GB, and the performance has increased significantly

As you know, RTX 3060 8GB and RTX 3060 12GB differ in memory size and bus width, while other parameters are identical. Enthusiasts took a junior adapter and turned it into a senior one, soldering up the missing memory and flashing the BIOS to activate the memory bus channels that were not used by default at the same time.

As a result, in the Unigine Superposition benchmark in 1080p Extreme mode, the performance of the modified version was 22% higher, due solely to the amount of memory.

Unlike experiments with the RTX 3070, in this case the idea itself does not make sense, since you can simply take two versions of the RTX 3060 and compare them. So it’s more of an experiment for the sake of experimentation, but at least now we know that such modifications are possible.

Recall that the upcoming RTX 4060 Ti with a price of about $ 400-450 will initially have only 8 GB of memory.

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

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.
