Lots of interesting news today boys!


Sounds like you can do 5.5Ghz all core for gaming but if you do "professional" work, you would be better off running 5.2Ghz all core... Assuming you have the cooling necessary to make it work. 48ns is also impressive for ram timings.

AMD Ryzen 7700X/7600X rumored Cinebench R23 scores are in

Most likely, AlderLake S will win in Multicore thanks to all the E-cores but Zen 4 should be slightly ahead in Single Core. This is supposed to be R23 so there is a typo.

Seems powerful enough. Wonder how much of it comes from IPC increases and how much of just the higher clock speeds...

Speaking of clock speeds, the high base clocks of the Ryzen 7xxx chips are pretty interesting to me. I wonder how this will translate into the mobile APUs next year; maybe we'll get some 8c/16t U series chip with over 3Ghz base clock, Zen 3+ was already pretty close to that (2.7 Ghz on the 6800U)

They do seem to be powerful enough, and also run quite hot, tho who could blame it with that voltage.

The interesting question here is the pricing, because while the Ryzen 7000 CPUs will be powerful enough, it doesn't seem like they'll be the fastest and, while the added cost of a new platform and no option to skip costs reusing the RAM, the fight with Intel could be a bit hard for AMD unless they're agressive with their prices.

GPD Win 4 is a modern Sony PSP clone with AMD Ryzen 7 6800U CPU and … physical keyboard

Wow... I am glad I didn't get GPD Win Max 2 cause this looks even more fap worthy. Granted will be much more expensive than the Steam Deck.

Seems pretty interesting, can't wait to see any reviews and benchmarks of this thing!

It does seem interesting, indeed, and the hidden keyboard is quite the trick. But it also seems to be a bit bulky and have lots of holes for ventilation.

PS5 price to increase in select markets due to global economic environment, including high inflation rates

https://blog.playstation.com/2022/08/25/ps5-price-to-increase-in-select-markets-due-to-global-economic-environment-including-high-inflation-rates/

May as well be everywhere but the US. This feels like a foreshadowing for Lovelace and RDNA 3...

Wouldn't this be the first time that a console's normal price would be adjusted upwards after release? Or did this happen before?

I knew there wouldn't be any price cuts this gen due to the inflation, but a price increase is not something I ever expected!

As far as I know, it's the first time it happened, but maybe someone has went through it and posted other examples in the thread about this price increase.

I have to say, tho, that the timing is quite weird. While inflation is rising, and rising everywhere included the US, the chip shortage is mostly a thing of the past and youI'd say that the cost is lowering a bit due to the lower demand of chips. So, with the chips being less expensive than one year ago, plus the usual cost reductions cuts that the console has seen in the almost two years since it launched, why are they increasing the price? And why so much?

In any case, if MSoft decides to not raise the price on their part, those extra 50 € could be a deciding factor to switch sides and go with team green.
