AMD Ryzen 9000 Zen 5 and Zen 6 processors will support existing B650/X670 motherboards. AMD has confirmed that the AM5 platform will be supported in several more releases up to Zen 6 in 2026. Intel’s 600/700 series motherboards based on the LGA 1700 will become obsolete in 2024. The 15th generation Arrow Lake processors will be released alongside the LGA 1851 boards in the second half of next year. According to RedGamingTech, existing AM5 boards will support two more generations, including Zen 5 at the end of 2024 and Zen 6 in 2026. This is similar to Intel if we consider the 14th generation Raptor Lake Refresh as a full update. Even the cheapest A320 motherboards, released in 2017, support Ryzen 7 5800X3D, one of the latest AM4 processors. This means up to five years of platform support, even for very cheap boards priced around $100. If the Ryzen 9000 (2024) based on Zen 5 and subsequent Zen 6 chips…

The Intel Core i5-14450HX showed impressive results in benchmark tests. According to GeekBench benchmark results, the performance is comparable to the desktop Core i5−13400. Intel, one of the world’s largest microprocessor manufacturers, continues to strengthen its market position by introducing powerful processors. One of the latest is the Intel Core i5-14450HX from Intel’s mobile processor lineup, which was tested in benchmark tests and showed very good results. The Intel Core i5-14450HX was tested in popular benchmark tests such as Cinebench R23, PassMark, and Geekbench 5. In each of these tests, the processor demonstrated high performance and excellent results. In the Cinebench R23 test, the Intel Core i5-14450HX scored 1587 points in single-thread processing and 8637 points in multi-thread processing, demonstrating its ability to efficiently handle not only simple tasks but also complex ones. The PassMark test showed that the Intel Core i5-14450HX has a significant performance score of 14,367 points, thus holding a high position among competitors in the mobile…

Intel’s 15th generation Arrow Lake processors and AMD Ryzen 9000 Zen 5 will be released in the 3rd quarter of 2024. This information was obtained from Chinese manufacturing board forums. Both chip manufacturers will present their next-generation chipsets in the third quarter, followed by the launch of the processors. Intel is expected to release the 15th generation Arrow Lake family, which will compete with the AMD Ryzen 9000 Zen 5 lineup. For AMD, this is a relatively straightforward launch, as the same AM5 socket will be implemented with additional features for the next-generation 700 series chipsets. You can expect more PCIe Gen 5 lines, higher DDR5 speeds, Wi-Fi 7, and much more. Unlike the 600 series launch, it should be smooth, as the microcode does not need to be created from scratch. Only one old generation needs to be prepared for backward compatibility, which should not be a problem. For Intel, it will be more complicated. Team Blue plans to…

It will feature the A18 chip, just like the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max. With more than 9 months left until September 2024, we already know almost everything about the iPhone 16. No, this isn’t due to Apple allowing so many leaks. It’s just that the company has become too predictable, and years of professional immersion in its activities have taught us to predict with high probability what it will offer next. However, even we, frankly, could not have imagined that Cupertino would decide to transition all iPhones, including the classic models, to the most powerful flagship processors, which are used in the Pro and Pro Max models. Last week, colleagues shared an interesting finding. They had the opportunity to study the alpha version code of iOS 18, where they discovered mentions of four new iPhones: Surprisingly, all four devices operate based on the t8140 (Tahiti) processor, which is most likely the new A18 Pro. It’s not certain,…

The transition from GeForce RTX 40 to RTX 50 series is expected to offer less performance improvement compared to the shift from RTX 30 to RTX 40 series. The new cards might be released in late 2024, or possibly in early 2025. It’s still unclear when the first RTX 50 series cards will be released, with Nvidia yet to make a decision. According to Moore’s Law Is Dead, citing sources within Nvidia, the company is prepared to launch the new cards in Q4 2024, but this is not certain. The decision will depend on several factors, including RTX 40 sales in 2024, readiness of TSMC’s 3-nanometer process, and Nvidia’s predictions about AMD’s RDNA 4 architecture capabilities. Nvidia is sure to be ready for CES 2025 and a launch in early 2025 if it decides not to rush the release in late 2024. As for performance, it’s too early to say anything concrete, but it’s suggested that the RTX 50 series…
