Ever since AMD introduced Zen, all CPUs based on the architecture have shown that they are especially sensitive to memory speed, as well as other timings. Using faster RAM could give a sizable ...
AMD currently offers three Zen 5 mobile CPUs as part of its Ryzen AI 300 family of processors. They have received Microsoft's blessing to be included in its family of Copilot+ lineup of so-called "AI ...
Academic researchers developed ZenHammer, the first variant of the Rowhammer DRAM attack that works on CPUs based on recent AMD Zen microarchitecture that map physical addresses on DDR4 and DDR5 ...
If you’ve been keeping an eye on the latest gaming PC hardware news, you’ve probably heard that AMD’s latest X3D chips kick all kinds of ass but are also failing at a fast rate, especially in certain ...
AMD’s Ryzen 7000 series has been in the wild for just under five months, which makes it prime time for an X3D upgrade! We first saw the firm’s vertical 3D cache technology with last generation’s Ryzen ...
KitGuru has worked through the stack of amd Zen 5 CPUs from 6-core Ryzen 5 to 8-core Ryzen 7 and onward to 12-core Ryzen 9.
We've already seen overclockers using the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G APU inside of an AORUS B650 Tachyon motherboard, pushing a DDR5-10346 memory overclock. Now, the ASUS OC team has pushed things even further ...
The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D launched in November 2024 and has remained the best gaming processor ever since. So, when AMD quietly announced the AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D, a slightly faster version of the ...
Because of the way we interact with these features, it's easy to think of Intel XMP and AMD EXPO as binary, 'yes or no' features, but both standards have actually gone through a few revisions. Right ...
We’ve always been told that 6000MHz CL30 is the absolute sweet spot for Ryzen. It was the “set it and forget it” mantra for the 7000 series, and we carried that logic straight into the 9000 series.
Why Didn’t We Normalise Timings? Now, you might be wondering why we didn’t normalise the timings across all these kits; for instance, running everything at CL30 to make it a “pure” frequency test. The ...
