Ryzen 9 7950X3D outperforms regular Ryzen 9 7950X in Blender
The Ryzen 9 7950X3D processor has already shown itself in the Geekbench test, where it performed slightly worse than the regular Ryzen 9 7950X, but this is a synthetic benchmark. Now the upcoming CPU has been tested in Blender.
Here, too, a miracle did not happen: the X3D model turned out to be a little slower than the regular version. At the same time, it is slightly, but still faster than the Core i9-13900K, and the Apple M2 Max is twice as slow.
- Ryzen 9 7950X3D – 558.59 points
- Ryzen 9 7950X – 590.28
- Core i9-13900K – 557.17
- Apple M2 Max – 254.06
Despite the fact that Blender, unlike Geekbench, is not a synthetic benchmark, it still does not benefit from a huge amount of cache memory, and the frequency of the Ryzen 9 7950X3D is lower than that of the Ryzen 9 7950X.
Just look at the Ryzen 7 5800X vs 5800X3D comparison results to see that the regular model is also faster in this pair due to higher frequencies. Thus, for now, it’s definitely not worth drawing conclusions that the Ryzen 9 7950X3D will be worse than the regular version everywhere. Recall that the advantage of a large amount of cache memory is very good in games.

Lenovo Legion Y7000P 2023 gaming laptops introduced. Top version includes Intel Core i7-13700H and GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop

Lenovo introduced the entry-level gaming laptop Legion Y7000P 2023. In fact, it is very similar in terms of parameters to the geekbook – Lenovo GeekPro G5000, but the Y7000P is positioned a little higher.
The Legion Y7000P 2023 is equipped with a 16-inch IPS screen with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels, a frame rate of 165 Hz, and a brightness of 350 cd/m2. and covering 100% of the sRGB color space.
In the base there is an Intrel Core i5-13500H processor and a dGPU Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop, and in the top version there is a Core i7-13700H and GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop. The amount of DDR5 RAM is 16 GB (two slots, so the amount of RAM can be increased), SSD – 1 TB.
Also in the configuration are Wi-Fi 6 and Ethernet 2.5 Gigabit adapters, a 140 W charger connected to the USB-C port, and an 80 Wh battery. Pricing hasn’t been announced yet, but this model shouldn’t be much more expensive than the GeekPro G5000.
Also today, Lenovo introduced the Lenovo Legion Y900 tablet (with 3K screen and 12,300 mAh battery) and its most powerful gaming laptop, the Legion Y9000P Extreme Edition.

Is it time to finally retire video cards with 2-3 GB of memory? Halo Infinite no longer runs on these adapters

Video cards with a small amount of memory can sometimes still perform well in modern games, if we are talking about the flagship solutions of yesteryear. However, now there is at least one game where accelerators with less than 4 GB of memory simply will not work. This is Halo Infinite.
A fresh patch for this game now simply does not allow you to run it on a PC with video cards that have less than 4 GB of memory. At the same time, such changes are not mentioned in the description of the patch.
It can be noted that the requirement in the form of at least 4 GB of memory has always been in the game, but usually such requirements are conditional. In particular, Halo Infinite ran on inappropriate 3D maps prior to the patch. For example, there are a lot of videos on the Web where the game is tested, including on a GeForce GTX 1050 with 2 GB of memory, which is quite enough to play even in Full HD with minimal graphics quality settings. But there is a much more powerful GeForce GTX 1060 3GB, which feels quite tolerable even in more demanding games.
There is a possibility that the restriction is just a mistake and will be removed soon. But not at all a fact.
