The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is on sale in the US and Europe, and the prices are very close to the recommended
The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti graphics card went on sale today, and so far the situation with availability and prices is very good.
Recall that the recommended price for new items in the United States, excluding taxes, is $ 800. What the value is for Europe is not clear, but it is always higher there, at least because taxes are already taken into account.
So, for now, BestBuy is offering the RTX 4070 Ti for at least $830. On NewEgg, the minimum price is $840, on Amazon for some reason there are only offers with a price of $1300, and this is the RTX 4080.
Surprisingly, in Europe the situation seems to be even better. There are many more offers, and they already start from 900 euros. That is, the prices are approximately the same as American prices, if you add tax to the latter. At the same time, just a few hours ago, the minimum price was 1140 euros, and there were only a few offers.
Thus, right now the RTX 4070 Ti is one of the best products for the money. If we compare it with Nvidia cards, then about the same $ 800 and 900 euros are asked for the RTX 3080, while the new product is faster, more economical and supports DLSS 3. True, if in 2K the RTX 4070 Ti is faster than the RTX 3080 by about 20%, then in 4K is already only 16%. If we compare Nvidia’s new card with AMD cards, then around 900 euros in Europe are asking for the Radeon RX 6950 XT, which is roughly comparable to the RTX 4070 Ti, but consumes more power and performs worse with ray tracing. The newer Radeon RX 7900 XT at 4K is about 10% faster than Nvidia’s newest, but about the same amount more expensive.

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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
