AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 6 Core & 4.4 GHz “Zen 4” Desktop CPU Spotted Running On Gigabyte’s X670E AORUS Master Motherboard, Up To 11% Faster Than Ryzen 9 5950X

Now the key is the benchmark only reports the baseclock. So we don't know what frequency the 7600X was actually running in to achieve the 11% uplift but 4.4ghz could be the base of the ES sample. As always, take it with a grain of salt.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Graphics Card Once Again Pointed Towards An October Launch – AD102 GPU, 16,384 Cores, 24 GB GDDR6X Memory & 450W TGP

Imo never believe leakers that estimate when the GPUs will actually launch cause only Jensen knows that.

Intel Reportedly Planning To Increase Prices Of CPUs & Other Components By Up To 20%

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-purportedly-to-hike-cpu-prices

"According to a report on Nikkei Asia, Intel has informed its clients about its plans to raise prices on its processors and peripheral chips this fall. "According to three industry executives with direct knowledge", the alleged root cause of rising chip production costs are the surging costs of electricity, raw materials, transportation, and labor. Inflation is also seen as another factor that requires Intel to hike its prices. Take the news with a pinch of salt for now."

I get the feeling this will also affect AMD CPUs along with upcoming Nvidia and AMD GPUs.

AMD has rebuilt its DirectX11 driver from the ground up, 10% better performance on average

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-has-rebuilt-its-directx11-driver-from-the-ground-up-10-better-performance-on-average

I'd be interested to see some actual benchmarks against Nvidia but from Gamer's Nexus recent testing with Intel's Arc. Assuming they used the most recent AMD's driver in GTA V in DX11, Nvidia is still well ahead where a 1050 Ti can match up against 6400. And from hardware unboxed DX11 testing with the new drivers, on average, it's like a 2% gain. But still, better than nothing and it goes to show how shitty AMDs DX11 drivers really were back then.

Merging with a known Malware company and now this? *Checks who the CEO is* It's John Riccitiello?? No wonder lmao. When he was the CEO of EA, they got the "Worst Company in America" award for two consecutive year in a row. That explains a lot.
