For all other tiers, Remedy recommends at least an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X or Intel equivalent processor (which would mean at least a Core i7-10700K), or an 8-core/16-thread processor that's as fast as the 3700X. The bare minimum GPU requirement calls for an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 or ...
AMD Ryzen 7 3700U vs AMD Ryzen 5 5500 vs AMD Ryzen 5 4600G vs AMD Ryzen 7 2700U vs AMD Ryzen 7 2700X vs AMD Ryzen 5 5500 vs Intel Core i5-12400 vs AMD Ryzen 7 2700U vs AMD Ryzen 5 3550H vs AMD Ryzen 5 5500
Silicon enthusiasts were quick to point out that the Z1 series sported similar specifications to mobile/ultra-portable chipsets in AMD's 7040U family - in particular the Ryzen 7 7840U looks almost identical to its gaming equivalent (Ryzen Z1 Extreme). Andrew E. Freedman at Tom's Hardware ...
My Ryzen 7 5800x was also running quite hot at stock levels, even with Kraken x63. What I changed was the AMD equivalent of the v-core offset, along with the power allowance of the chip. Here are two videos showing how to do this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfkrp25dpQ0 ...
AMD’s own tests show that its Ryzen 7 Pro 3700U is ~1% better than the 8650U in PCMark and up to double in performance when graphics comes into the mix. Obviously, GPU-intensive workloads are the ones where AMD’s APUs outshine Intel’s CPUs. Meanwhile, general-purpose performane of...
C18 and DDR4-3200 C16 gives us DDR4-3600 C16 and DDR4-3200 C14, where the later should get a bigger boost since two cycles are a larger portion of sixteen than of eighteen. Is that greater boost enough to validate rumors that DDR4-3600 C16 and DDR4-3200 C14 are roughly equivalent?
284 on multicore tests. The chipset is said to have a 2.1Ghz base speed, but its boost speed wasn’t available on Geekbench. The 3500U is expected to succeed the current Ryzen 5 2500U, so the new chip will likely feature a total of 8 CUs (Compute Units), the equivalen...
Any true "budget" gamer shouldn't be looking at X3D chips at all, but rather putting their money into a faster GPU or better monitor (many of them still on 60 Hz 1080p and RX580/equivalent). If you're not a budget gamer then "upgrading" to a six core is just silly. I'd be...
The rest of the results in that chart look reasonable to me, so I don't think it's entirely CPU bound (if it was, the i7-10710U would absolutely trounce the Ryzen 7 3700U, so there's no question that the iGPU plays a large part in those results),...
