The officially non-overclockable Ryzen 9 7950X3D was overclocked to 5.9 GHz. But the method is very difficult.
Reviews of the Ryzen 9 7950X3D processor were published yesterday. We were able to evaluate the capabilities and energy efficiency of the novelty, but now we can evaluate overclocking. The authors of the SkatterBencher resource managed to overclock the new CPU, which is officially not suitable for overclocking.
The Ryzen 7000X3D, like the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, has a locked multiplier, so traditional overclocking methods don’t work. But it is possible to increase the frequency by manipulating the parameters with Precision Boost Overdrive 2 or EXPO.
As a result, the authors of the source managed to increase the CPU frequency to 5.9 GHz. Such overclocking resulted in a considerable 9% increase in performance in synthetic tests, but in games the effect was much lower.
Given the difficulties with overclocking new AMD processors, the approach is likely to be interesting only from the point of view of the experiment itself.
In particular, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D, as you know, has an additional cache memory chip located on only one chiplet. And AMD had to change the behavior of the CPU in a rather unusual way in order for it to work with such changes. The CCD0 chiplet (with 3D V-Cache) has a maximum frequency lower limit of 5250MHz and a lower voltage limit of 1.2V, while CCD1 (without 3D V-Cache) can reach 5750MHz and 1.4V. PBO2 and the voltage/frequency curve optimizer can make the CPU run at higher frequencies.

The cheapest video card with 16 GB of memory, and even with a unique cooler. Acer Predator BiFrost Arc A770 sells for $340

Another Intel video card has become cheaper. This time we are talking about the most expensive offer in the company’s line – Arc A770 with 16 GB of memory. Such an Acer-made card sells for $340.
Before the price reduction, the card was asking for $400. It is worth recalling that the A770 is available in two versions: with 8 and 16 GB. The first has already become cheaper, and sometimes up to 270 dollars. The second fell in price for the first time.
The Acer Predator BiFrost Arc A770 adapter stands out for its unique cooling system with one regular fan and one centripetal fan. This is currently the cheapest 3D card with 16 GB of memory on the market.

GeForce RTX 4060 Ti will be four times slower than RTX 4090? New details emerge about Nvidia’s more affordable graphics card

The GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card will be released in mid-April, and more and more data about even more affordable cards began to appear on the Web. In particular, a TechPowerUp employee shared details about the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, which should follow the RTX 4070.
According to him, the new GPU will operate at frequencies of 2310-2535 MHz. “Premium” versions will boast a frequency of 2685 MHz. We don’t know exactly the characteristics of the graphics core yet, but the available data speaks of 4352 CUDA cores. In this case, the performance of the adapter will be approximately 22.1 TFLOPS. This, for example, is almost four times lower than the RTX 4090.
According to the leaks, the RTX 4060 Ti will also only get 8 GB of memory and a 128-bit bus. There are no rumors about the price yet.

Screen replacement up to $760, motherboard replacement up to $880. Named the cost of spare parts for Huawei P60, P60 Pro and Mate X3

Yesterday, Huawei officially unveiled the flagships P60, P60 Pro, P60 Art and Mate X3, and today a price list for repair parts for these models has appeared. Prices are unlikely to surprise, unless we are talking about replacing key components.
When it comes to the screen, the Mate X3’s internal display will cost the most to replace, with the screen alone costing $760, not to mention labor fees. Screens for the P60, P60 Pro, and P60 Art are cheaper at $335, $365, and $395, respectively. It is noteworthy that the displays of these models are exactly the same.
The price of the motherboard for Huawei P60 is $445, for Huawei P60 Pro it is already $630, and for Huawei P60 Art it is even $880. Even for the Mate X3, the motherboard is cheaper at $760.
The cost of other components is lower: the back cover is $55-85, the telephoto module is $85-120, the USB-C port is up to $22.
