The Apple M3 Pro SoC outperformed even the Core i9-14900KF, but only in single-threaded mode. In multi-threading it is one and a half times slower than the Ryzen 9 7950X
Apple M3 platforms were tested in the PassMark benchmark, and the average M3 Pro was found to contain the fastest processor on the market when measured in single-threaded performance.
The 11-core M3 Pro scores 4,910 points, while the Core i9-14900KF, which dropped to second place, scores 4,852 points. M3 Pro with 12 cores shows a result of 4841 points. The M3 Max with its 16-core CPU scores 4816 points, while the base M3 scores 4784 points.
The results are really impressive, but in multi-threaded mode everything is not so good. No, Apple’s new products are certainly very powerful, but even the M3 Max with its 16 new cores scores 39,921 points, while the leader, the Ryzen 9 7950X, shows a result of 63,230 points. The M2 Ultra remains Apple’s fastest solution so far with a score of 48,634 points, while the regular M3 scores 19,139 points.
Most modern solid-state drives have the M.2 2280 form factor, but sometimes you need a much more compact SSD – M.2 2242. Corsair did just that.
In the photo you can see the MP600 Micro model in the specified form factor. The length of such a drive is 42 mm, although there is also an M.2 2230 that is only 30 mm long.
The new product supports PCIe 4.0 and is characterized by data transfer speeds of up to 5100 MB/s for reading and 4300 MB/s for writing. Performance is respectively 600,000 and 890,000 IOPS. These parameters are typical for the 1 TB model, which also has a resource of 600 TBW.
It remains to add that the new product is based on 176-layer Micron 3D TLC NAND memory and is priced at $70.

Huawei defeated American sanctions: the Chinese company now has its own 5-nanometer processor
Five years under strict American sanctions, which cut Huawei off from advanced single-chip systems, have yielded results: the company has its own 5-nanometer processor made in China.
There is an interesting story with this processor. Five days ago, Huawei introduced the Qingyun L540 laptop based on the Kirin 9006C SoC: and at that time, all the characteristics of the device were revealed, but nothing was reported about the central element of the hardware platform. Now Huawei has updated the description on the website, which clearly states that the Kirin 9006C is manufactured using the 5 nm process technology.
The official description says that the single-chip system has eight cores and a maximum frequency of 3.13 GHz. The Gizmochina resource adds: the CPU is made according to a two-cluster design – with four Arm Cortex-A77 cores and four more Arm Cortex-A55 cores.
Let’s remember that earlier Huawei had a 7-nanometer SoC Kirin 9000S, and it is used in the flagships of the Mate 60 line. Kirin 9000S is produced by SMIC, and the same company most likely produces the 5-nanometer Kirin 9006C.

This is the noisiest and hottest RTX 4090, albeit with a unique cooler. Acer has equipped the video card with liquid CO without an external radiator or pump
Acer showed an interesting development earlier this year: a GeForce RTX 4090 video card with liquid cooling, but without an external radiator and pump. It turned out that Acer failed to make such a design effective.
The video card is not available at retail, but is available as part of the finished Predator Orion-X PC. Judging by KitGuru’s tests, such a PC with such a video card is hardly worth buying.
The Acer cooler turned out to be the most unsuccessful of all that the authors tested on the RTX 4090. Firstly, the card turned out to be the noisiest, and secondly, the hottest. Moreover, if the GPU temperature, although the highest, is not much higher than that of the same Asus RTX TUF, then the memory temperature is immediately much higher than that of any other RTX 4090, and in absolute terms is too high (96 degrees).
As a result, the card operates at relatively low frequencies, is very noisy and suffers from throttling.
