Last month Intel Introduced the Haswell Refresh processors. The newly introduced processors can easily be described as being the same 4th generation Core-processors we already knew, with the same price with a model number which is 20 points higher and a...
Thanks to it's higher clock-frequency the Core i7 4790K is clearly faster than the 4770K. A good example is the Cinebench benchmark, where the 4770K managed 8,08 points compared the 9,05 points of the 4790K, in other words a 12% increase. This is great...

2014’s Core i7-4790K, codenamed 'Devil's Canyon', seems to be a response to these complaints. The new chip has both faster base and boost clock speeds than its predecessor, the Intel Core i7-4770K , with a base clock speed of 4GHz and a Turbo Boost of 4.4...

Intel aims to change all of that with a refresh to the K-series Haswell chips. Codenamed Devil's Canyon, the new i5 and i7 K-series parts bring about under-the-hood tweaks to satisfy the overclocking audience. And if the hassle of trying to squeeze every...

Like lots of things in personal computing, overclocking has progressed mightily since its early days. Back when we first started experimenting on Celerons, CPU performance was a scarce and precious resource, doled out in small increments for hundreds of d...
I said earlier that I don't know who exactly is Devil's Canyon's target market. Now that you've seen the overclocking results, perhaps you can understand my dilemma. Our review sample doesn't appear to have any more headroom than our year-plus-old Core i...

The Intel Core i7 4790K raises the processor's clock speed to 4 Gigahertz (500 more than the previous 4770K). The new chip keeps the same architecture, so it keeps the same LGA 1150 socket, but don't expect dramatic increases.Being that this new CPU is br...

Earlier this week I posted some interesting Linux graphics benchmarks comparing the open-source Mesa/Gallium3D drivers for the Iris Pro 6200 Graphics on the Intel Core i7-5775C "Broadwell" CPU compared to several discrete graphics cards. Those results wer...

Its hard to believe considering we just finished up an Intel launch, but it is already time to check out Intel's next launch. Kaby Lake was launched at the beginning of this year and the Mainstream lineup of CPUs is getting refreshed with Coffee Lake and...
So I think most people will admit that AMD has had a lot of wins this year with all of the Ryzen launches. As I found out in our 1700v7700K coverage the 7700K was still a great performing CPU, especially when looking at gaming performance. But with ju...

Intel's new i7-9700K is available for about $400 to $430, which lands it between the 9900K – priced at around $550, on a good day – and the 8700K's $370 price-point. We got ours for $400, looking to test the new 8C/8T CPU versus the not-that-old 8700K and...
The Intel i7-9700K received ample criticism at unveil for being the first “gaming,” S-class i7 in recent history to drop hyperthreading. The move was accompanied by an increase in physical core count to 8C, but followed the previous move from 4C/8T to 6C/...

Today we're reviewing the Intel i5-9600K CPU, a 6-core 8th-Generation refresh part that's been badged as a 9000-series CPU. The 9600K is familiar to the 8600K, except soldered and boosted in frequency. The new part costs roughly $250 and runs at 3.7GHz b...
By name and by marketing, the i5 CPU is most comparable to the R5 CPUs. The R5 2600's current $160 price-point makes it a less direct comparison, and the 2600X, which would perform about where an overclocked 2600 performs, is about $220. This is also che...

Today we'll be looking at the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X 16-core and AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1920X 12-core processors. These processors are the the tip of the spear for AMD and are aimed at the high-end desktop market. This completes the AMD Ryzen proces...
The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X and Threadripper 1920X are very impressive processors that did extremely well in content creation benchmarks that take advantage of having a 16-core, 32-thread processor in the system. The good news is a good number of app...

So last month AMD introduced Ryzen to the world with their Ryzen 7 processors. I took a look at all three and also did some more in depth gaming testing. Well, now it's finally time for AMD to introduce the Ryzen 5 CPUs for those who are looking for more...
Well, the Ryzen 7 launch has a surprising amount of excitement and drama mixed together with the impressive numbers but with memory issues and game performance causing very polarized opinions on social media and on websites like Reddit. AMD fans even...
