The past week has been buzzing with amD's share of the x86 market, NVIDIA's MX550 discrete graphics performance exposure, Intel's change in the 12th generation Core processor TDP calibration... In terms of whole machine products, ASUS officially launched the Tianxuan 3 series game book, equipped with the 12th generation Core mobile version and the Ryzen 6000H series processor, with good appearance and performance. Apple's new MacBook Pro, using the M2 chip, is expected to launch at a spring new launch next month.
Intel changed the 12th generation Core power calibration more scientifically
Intel has changed the way TDP is uniformly calibrated in the latest 12th generation Core processors, replacing the basic power consumption separately from the highest accelerated power consumption. Taking the 12th generation Core i9-12900HK mobile processor as an example, the basic power consumption is 45W, the maximum Turbo power consumption is 115W, and the minimum guaranteed power consumption is 35W. Like the 12th generation desktop Core i9-12900K processor, although the basic power consumption is only 125W, the maximum Turbo power consumption is as high as 241W.
In this way, users can more intuitively feel the power consumption level of their computer and the required heat dissipation ability. Users who pursue performance should fully consider the redundancy of system overclocking when purchasing heatsinks, so as not to limit the maximum performance of the processor.
Fresh and spicy cool comment: Now the processor generally has dynamic overclocking capabilities, the TDP calibration given by the past manufacturers is only the power consumption at the base frequency, and it is difficult to accurately represent the true power consumption level of the processor. The new calibration method is undoubtedly more scientific and worthy of recognition.
· X370 Motherboard Old Tree Blossom New BIOS supports Ryzen™ 5000
Since the birth of amD Ryzen™ processors, AMD has insisted on using the AM4 interface, which has been praised by players. Recently, ASRock launched a new version of BIOS files for its Five X370 Motherboards, including Total1ty X370 Gaming K4, Fatal1ty X370 Gaming X, Fatal1ty X370 Professional Gaming, X370 Killer SLI/ac, and X370 Killer SLI, officially supporting the Ryzen 5000 (Vermeer) series of processors.
Coupled with the X370 Pro4, which has been updated with the BIOS earlier, ASRock already has 6 X370 motherboards that are compatible with the Ryzen™ 5000 processor. For the X370 motherboard, although it does not support PCIe 4.0, PBO, Smart Access Memory and other features, but after all, it is the flagship product of the year, power supply specifications, heat dissipation and workmanship are very good, after updating the BIOS, you can use the latest processor, do not have to spend additional costs, it is not fragrant?
Spicy cool comment: A core factory that frequently replaces processor sockets, see this news and don't know how to feel?
·X86 market AMD share hit a new high Mobile terminal market share has reached 21.6%
Speaking of AMD, there is also the latest set of data: according to the x86 processor market share data released by mercurist Mercory Research for the fourth quarter of 2021, AMD's share of the entire x86 market has reached 25.6%!
In the consumer processor market, AMD's desktop processor share is 16.2%, and mobile products are as high as 21.6%. AMD, the server market that has long dominated Intel, has also grown rapidly, with a share of more than 10%. Since there are only two competitors in the x86 market at present, AMD and Intel, it is directly said that the increased share of AMD is what Intel has lost.
Spicy cool comment: This year's Ryzen 6000 series mobile processors and the Ryzen™ 7000 series desktop processors that will be listed in the second half of the year are bound to compete fiercely with Intel's 12th generation Core, hoping that the two will fight a price war and give consumers some benefits?
NVIDIA MX550 solo running score exposure RTX4090 or released in September
NVIDIA's GeForce MX series of mobile discrete graphics cards have always been favored by some high-performance thin and light notebooks. Late last year, NVIDIA introduced a new generation of GeForce MX550 and GeForce MX570 graphics cards. Last week's running score on the GeForce MX550 was also revealed, scoring 5014 on PassMark's G3D Mark test, about 35% higher than the MX450 and a 30% gap compared to the GTX 1650 Mobile.
According to sources, the MX550 uses the TU 117 core, which is a 12nm process core based on the Turing architecture, which is consistent with the GTX 1650. Equipped with 1024 stream processors with 64-bit 2GB GDDR6 video memory. Previously, Weibo netizens have revealed that in the 3DMark Time Spy scene, the geForce MX550 score is 2510, which is not much compared with the full-blood version of the MX450.
Spicy cool comment: Judging from the leaked running scores, GeForce MX550 gives people a lack of surprises, and still can't escape the suspicion of "vest card", and I have to say that Lao Huang's knife technique is more and more fascinating.
Speaking of NVIDIA, let's also talk about the latest news from the latest RTX40 series graphics cards. According to the news released by foreign bloggers, it is expected that RTX 4090 will be released in September this year and officially listed in October. The official price may be $1899, which is $400 more expensive than the RTX 3090, and the price of the Bank of China is likely to exceed 15,000 yuan. The RTX 4090 will be equipped with the AD102 core, with up to 18,432 stream processors, a running frequency of 2.5GHz, and a floating-point performance of 90TFLOPS, which will improve the overall performance by 152% compared to the RTX 3090!
Spicy cool review: The price of graphics cards is really soaring into the sky, and men are getting farther and farther away from the dream of gas stoves! However, the performance is strong or expensive, you take the goods to sell!

· M2 chip version of the Macbook Pro or launched in March Cut high brush positioning lower
Last week's news, the new MacBook Pro with M2 chip is expected to be unveiled at Apple's spring new product launch in March, that is, launched with the new iPhone SE, iPad and other products. It seems that Apple's Apple Silicon plan to advance faster than expected, because the previous news that Apple's M2 series of chips is expected to be launched this fall.
The news said that the number of CPU cores of the M2 chip is the same as that of the M1 chip, equipped with up to 10 GPU cores, so in terms of positioning, the MacBook Pro using the M2 chip is slightly lower than the current model using the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips, and the new MacBook Pro will cut the miniLED and ProMotion high refresh rate, and the price will be lower accordingly.
Spicy cool comment: It is true that independence is the king! After Apple's self-developed chip, the pace of product release is arbitrary, and it is no longer subject to a certain x86 factory.
