AMD reiterates that AM5 will continue to support it until 2025

Recently, David Macfee, vice president and general manager of AMD's client channel business, said in an interview that AMD wants to keep the AM5 platform for as long as possible, and for now they are sticking to the statement after 2025, the platform plans to undergo a major update in 2024, launching a new Ryzen 8000G series APU and a new generation of Zen 5 architecture Granite Ridge desktop CPU, the new CPU will still retain the standard version and 3D V-Cache is available in two versions, which allows AMD to remain highly competitive in the high-end segment.

In 2025, AMD is likely to release at least one more series of AM5 platform processors before starting to consider whether to continue using the platform for a longer period of time or move to an entirely new platform.

Previously, AMD has also said that whether to replace the new CPU socket depends on the necessity of integrating new features, when switching from AM4 to AM5, DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0 were upgraded, and the new architecture CPU requires higher power, so it was changed to AM5. And a year after the release of AM5, AMD is still launching a new CPU on the AM4 platform, and there are still plans to launch a new Ryzen 5000 processor next year, considering that many users are still using the AM4 platform, upgrading the platform basically requires replacing the CPU, motherboard, and memory, so it is normal for users to want to continue to use the original platform, and the launch of a new CPU can further extend the life of the old platform.

David Macfee also mentioned the AM5 platform memory support and expansion, AMD plans to bring stronger memory support with the development of the AM5 platform, in fact, most of the AM5 platform can only run up to DDR5-6000 in the early days, with the introduction of new firmware and BIOS, DDR5-7000 and above the frequency has been able to run casually, and AMD and his partners can be expected to bring better memory support to the AM5 platform in the future.

iQOO Neo9全系标配6K天幕VC

iQOO Neo9 series has been set to be released at 19:00 on December 27th, and the official has previously released the appearance of the new machine, which will provide a white and red double color matching back cover, and the right-angle bezel has also been red, which looks very good.

Today, iQOO mobile phone announced that iQOO Neo9 is equipped with 6K canopy VC as standard, reaching the highest VC coverage rate in the history of iQOO, accurately improving the gas-liquid circulation of the upper VC of the CPU, and increasing the overall thermal conductivity by 26%.

According to Jia Jingdong, vice president of the vivo brand, the iQOO Neo9 Pro is equipped with an all-large-core Dimensity 9300, and the standard version uses the second-generation Snapdragon 8 "Audio-Technica" (LPDDR5X + UFS4.0) performance combination. In addition, the Neo9 series is equipped with iQOO's self-developed gaming chip Q1, which is equipped with super-resolution and super-frame concurrency, and the whole series is equipped with a low-blue-light, low-flicker 144Hz 8T flagship straight screen.

CORSAIR introduces the TX Series ATX 3.0 Gold Power Supply

CORSAIR has announced the launch of the new TX series power supply, including TX 750, TX 850, TX 1000 and TX 1200 models, with a fully modular design, supporting the latest ATX 3.0 and PCIe 5.0 standards, 80PLUS Gold certification, equipped with native 12V-2x6 connectors, and comes with a custom 12VHPWR cable.

According to reports, the TX series power supply is only 140mm long, which is not only easy to install, but also can flow more positions for the cable. It adopts a resonant LLC topology circuit design with DC-DC conversion, providing a stable and reliable power output with a conversion efficiency of up to 90%.

The new power supply features a 135mm PWM fan with a specially tuned fan curve for powerful cooling. In addition, the TX series power supply also supports Modern Standby sleep mode, which provides a quieter environment with ultra-fast wake-up speed and lower standby power consumption.

CORSAIR also said that the TX series power supply has the advantages of low power consumption, low noise and low heat generation, which can fully meet the needs of the new generation of high-performance platforms, and also provides a ten-year warranty.

Pricing and availability of the TX series power supplies are unclear at this time.

Academician Ni Guangnan: China has reached the era of full SSD

According to recent reports by domestic media, Ni Guangnan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, once again shouted that he hoped to vigorously support domestic storage, and China has also reached the era of semiconductor storage such as SSD.

In Ni Guangnan's view, China is currently mainly using mechanical hard disk storage, advanced semiconductor storage technology lags behind, and China has reached the era of replacing mechanical storage with semiconductor storage, and this substitution is slow due to price problems.

"In government procurement, bidding and other projects for storage equipment, SSDs should be given priority and not based on a single price index. Ni Guangnan said.

He said that with the gradual improvement of the production capacity of domestic storage machines and flash memory in the mainland, the time has come for SSDs to replace HDDs.

At present, the proportion of SSD in the mainland computing center is relatively low, and the proportion of flash memory in the mainland storage market is still low, and there is still a lot of room for development in the future.

The Huawei nova 12 series color scheme has been announced

Huawei has officially announced that it will release the nova 12 series on December 26, and today, the official posted three color pictures of the nova 12 series, which are black, white, and blue. The material is unified as a plain leather version, with the embossing process, and the large letter logo of nova is spread all over the back shell.

料, nova 12系列一 有4 型,分别是nova 12活力 、nova 12、nova 12 Pro和nova 12 Ultra。

Among them, nova 12 Pro and nova 12 Ultra will debut a downclocked version of the Kirin 9000S, with a super-core frequency of 2.49GHz, a large-core frequency of 2.15GHz, a small-core frequency of 1.53GHz, and a GPU of Maleoon 910.

Compared with the previous Mate60 series of Kirin 9000S, the new version only reduces the main frequency of the super-large core by 0.13GHz, and there is no change in other aspects, and the overall user experience should not be much different.

Among them, the price of the top nova 12 Ultra has risen to the price range of 4000-5000 yuan, in addition to the Kirin chip, it will also decentralize the Tiantong satellite call function.

Intel Core i3-14100 CPU price revealed

Recently, some foreign netizens discovered that the price of the unreleased Intel Core i3-14100 CPU is $150.27 (about RMB 1071), and they also noticed that the store's Intel Core i3-13100 CPU is priced at $148.49 (about RMB 1060), which is slightly more expensive than Intel's official recommended price of $134-144, so its Core i3-14100 The price of the CPU does not represent the official final retail price of Intel, but it is basically confirmed that the price difference between the two generations is not much.
