I processori M4 di Apple sono diventati leader convincenti nella classifica single-core Geekbench. Diversi punteggi di circa 3.800 punti sono apparsi nel database online di Geekbench nelle ultime ore. Ciò è significativo in quanto i punteggi di riferimento single-core di questa portata mettono l'acqua blu tra l'M4 e l'ammiraglia Core i9-14900KS di Intel. Un piccolo controllo del database Geekbench mostra che, nei test single-threaded, l'M4 di Apple supera il campione desktop amato di energia di circa il 16%.

Dal grande evento di lancio di Apple martedì, abbiamo visto le voci di Geekbench per iPad che imballano il nuovo chip M4 trasformarsi da un rivolo in un diluvio. Una cosa che la maggior parte delle voci ha in comune è un ottimo punteggio di benchmark della CPU single-core. I benchmark multi-core non sono così interessanti, con un totale di quattro core delle prestazioni e sei core di efficienza (10 core) che lavorano insieme.

In alcuni progetti iPad Pro aggiornati, il nuovo Apple M4 mescola una CPU a 10 core e una GPU a 10 core con un Neural Engine a 16 core capace di 38TOPS. Costruito su un processo a 3 nm di seconda generazione, si afferma anche che il SoC offra progressi come la memorizzazione nella cache dinamica, il ray tracing accelerato dall'hardware e l'accelerazione hardware AV1.

Per quanto riguarda le prestazioni della CPU, i test interni di Apple hanno mostrato che il nuovo chip M4 di fascia alta con 28 miliardi di transistor supera l'M2 del 50%. Rispetto a un Asus Zenbook 14 OLED (UX3405MA) con un Intel Core Ultra 7 155H e 32 GB di RAM, Apple ha affermato che i dispositivi alimentati M4 potrebbero "offrire le stesse prestazioni utilizzando solo un quarto della potenza".

I grandi guadagni single-core su Geekbench potrebbero essere alimentati dal supporto appena aggiunto per Scaleable Matrix Extensions (SME) - alcuni dei sottotest, come il rilevamento di oggetti e la sfocatura delle immagini, vedono enormi guadagni (~200% per il rilevamento degli oggetti). Il supporto implicherebbe che Apple sta utilizzando un'architettura ARMv9, ma questo non è ancora confermato. In entrambi i casi, le PMI darebbero una forte spinta ad alcuni dei test che formano la suite CPU di Geekbench, aumentando il punteggio complessivo single-core. Tuttavia, Geekbench 6 ha introdotto solo di recente il supporto per le PMI con la versione 6.3 e l'AMX concorrente di Intel non è supportato. Questo è in gran parte perché i carichi di lavoro a matrice sono più adatti per altre forme di calcolo, come la NPU o la GPU, rispetto ai core della CPU. Come tale, non è chiaro quanto beneficio real-world SME offrirebbe se eseguito sui core della CPU, se presenti, nell'uso quotidiano.

Il resto del punteggio di benchmark indica un aumento di circa il 3% delle prestazioni rispetto alla generazione precedente M3, ma dovremo aspettare test più dettagliati per determinare se questi sono il risultato di miglioramenti IPC o semplicemente di aumenti di frequenza e/o cambiamenti di clock della cache.

Ieri abbiamo riferito sui punteggi di apprendimento automatico di Apple M4 Geekbench. L'aumento generazionale tra M2 e M4 non è stato enorme secondo questi primi risultati, con il nuovo chip che è solo circa il 23% più veloce, nonostante le vanatorie affermazioni di accelerazione AI di Apple.

CORSAIR ONE i500 PC Blends Style and Performance

The CORSAIR ONE i500 PC is a little powerhouse with cutting-edge components that offers top-notch performance for gamers, professionals with an understanding of artificial intelligence, and content creators. CORSAIR announced its released.

CORSAIR ONE i500 PC Design The CORSAIR ONE i500 defies expectations from the first. It is not like the heavy, plastic-covered colossi that are usually connected with gaming PCs. Rather, it adopts an elegant and sophisticated design that has a remarkably compact size. The front panel, though, is what really draws attention. Here, CORSAIR provides two distinct choices:

Elegance with Wood A dark wood panel and a dark metal chassis are combined to create a sophisticated look that will appeal to individuals who value a hint of nature. With its elegant and cosy combination, the i500 becomes a focal point in any minimalist or modern workstation.

Modern Minimalism The other version has a silver metallic chassis and a lighter maple wood panel. For people who like a brighter, more modern look, this produces a clean, modern design.

Because both wood panels are made from sustainable, FSC-certified sources, the i500 is an environmentally responsible option. CORSAIR further demonstrates their dedication to environmental responsibility by planting a tree for each i500 sold.

For those who want a more conventional PC design, there is now a brushed aluminium panel available in addition to the gorgeous wood options. Whichever option you select, a customizable touch-sensitive RGB lighting strip is included into the front panel. To customize the appearance of your PC, you can swipe to modify the brightness, colours, and activate different lighting effects.

An additional touch-sensitive area on the back panel brightens the ports to improve visibility in dimly lit areas a considerate addition for messy desk arrangements. A hinged panel on the side provides simple access to the internals and is a hidden jewel. For enthusiasts who may eventually wish to update the RAM or storage, this is a really useful option.

Performance Performance is strong with the Corsair ONE i500. A strong multi-core 14th Gen Intel Core i9-14900K processor powers it. Multitasking, editing films, and running demanding games are easy with this. The CPU and top-notch DDR5 RAM provide smooth operation and rapid data transfer.

In fact, the Nvidia RTX 4090 graphics card is the star. This powerful GPU handles AAA games at high resolutions and frame rates. The RTX 4090 can cater to serious gamers and creative professionals working with complicated 3D rendering and video editing.

Maintaining Calm and Silence during Cooling Heat management represents one of the main obstacles for small PCs. To keep the CPU and GPU operating cool under duress, Corsair uses a cleverly constructed liquid cooling system in this instance. The GPU is cooled by two fans in a 240mm radiator, and the CPU is kept cold by a single fan in a 120mm radiator. This two-chamber configuration guarantees effective heat dissipation and remarkably silent operation even under heavy workload conditions.

Networking and Storage With its roomy 2TB M.2 NVMe solid-state drive (SSD), the Corsair ONE i500 offers blazingly quick programmer loading, file transfers, and startup speeds. The primary drive can become rather warm, as several reviewers have mentioned, therefore it’s unfortunate that a heatsink isn’t supplied.

There’s also a second M.2 slot for future upgrades in case you require more storage. A wide range of ports are available for connectivity on the i500, including several USB-A ports, Thunderbolt 4 compatible high-speed USB-C ports, an HDMI port, DisplayPort connections, and an Ethernet socket for wired networking. For wireless communication, Wi-Fi 6E is also included.

Extension and Upgradability The Corsair ONE i500 offers a few alternatives even though its small size prevents it from being the most upgradeable PC available. As previously noted, you can expand your storage capacity by adding an additional M.2 SSD. The 64GB of RAM that is pre-installed in the two DDR5 RAM slots can be expanded if more is required. Although the location of the second PCIe slot may restrict card compatibility, it permits the addition of an additional expansion card.

With the CORSAIR ONE i500, you can quickly customize your setup thanks to its adaptable undergrow and front-panel illumination. Your search for the many high-performance connectivity choices will be aided by a touch-sensor illumination for the back I/O.

CORSAIR established a new benchmark for performance-packed, small-form factor PCs with the introduction of the first iteration of CORSAIR ONE PC. The standard is raised even further by this new generation, which has a sleek and contemporary appearance and amazing raw speed and efficiency. Additionally, CORSAIR are providing customers with the option between Wood Dark and Wood Bright, which are both offered via the Corsair website and a few partner stores.

Ample memory and storage to meet all your demands are provided by the CORSAIR ONE i500 PC, which packs unmatched performance into a small chassis that easily handles the most demanding games and apps available today.

Guarantee, Cost, and Availability Instantly available from the Corsair Webstore and Corsair-approved resellers and distributors is the CORSAIR ONE i500 PC.

The two-year warranty and global customer care and technical support network of CORSAIR are included with the purchase of the CORSAIR ONE i500 PC.

The CORSAIR website or your local CORSAIR sales or PR professional can provide you with the most recent price information.

Against the objectives it would present a fresh plug after couple of years, Intel consistently make use of the 1700 plug starting its 14th generation regarding the Core processors. The most truly effective design, the Intel Core i9-14900K, functions a complete of 24 indigenous processing cores and 32 threads, the just like had been obtainable in the Intel Core i9-13900K. But Intel features introduced some improvements in time clock rates that today achieve the 6.0-GHz limitation straight. We had been additionally capable report this inside our test, so they'ren't just empty promises made by the manufacturers.. Unfortuitously, Intel has not made numerous modifications to its power consumption, therefore at to 253 watts, this new leading is because of the exact same PL2 worth we know already. In the event that you also deactivate all constraints into the BIOS, its energy usage consistently substantially boost more, once we will dsicover later on inside our test. Besides the top design, we are going to be using a closer glance at the Intel Core i5-14600K within test. With 14 cores and 20 threads, it achieves similar figures as Intel Core i5-13600K. But Intel has additionally increased the time clock rate about this design, to get a little even more overall performance from the P and E cores. With that, we do not anticipate any better leaps in overall performance, and Intel has alson't altered any such thing towards fundamental CPU building. At this stage, Intel does not provide any equivalent to AMD's 3D V Cache technology, which permitted AMD to get substantially much better not too long ago and place some stress on its rivals. The rates from Intel additionally reveal we take similar degree right here because throughout the launch regarding the Raptor Lake S designs from a year ago. Because of the need, which generally increases into the fourth quarter, it stays to be noticed in which the brand-new designs will in actuality become. Just what additionally plays a job right here (in European countries) could be the Euro-to-Dollar change price. #Intel #Core #i914900K #Intel #Core #i514600K #review #GHz #box #AMDs #X3D #processors

AMD beats Intel Core i5-14400 in budget gaming processor

Intel Core i5-14400 At $225, the 14th-generation Intel Core i5-14400 offers the same productivity software and gaming performance as its predecessor. Despite lacking graphics, the i5-14400F variant costs $15 less than the $225 model and performs similarly. Additionally, cheaper DDR5 memory and motherboards have helped Ryzen surge back into the race for budget-conscious setups.

For those on a budget, AMD also offers the intriguing new Ryzen 7 5700X3D. These chips aren’t as effective in productivity applications because they are built on the Zen 3 architecture from the prior generation. Nevertheless, they provide a compelling alternative for individuals who are solely concerned in gaming, fitting into more reasonably priced AM4 motherboards and offering greater gaming performance than the Core i5-14400 or the Ryzen 5 7600X.

Using the same architectural foundations as its predecessor, Intel Core i5-14400 has six P-cores and four E-cores. The only improvements on the chip over the previous generation Core i5-13400, as you can see above, are a 100 MHz boost clock increase to 4.7 GHz and a 200 MHz boost to the E-core boost.

These small enhancements don’t seem to indicate that real-world performance will rise significantly over the previous generation of chips. Let’s see how our gaming and application testing with DDR4 and DDR5 RAM turns out in terms of performance.

Prices and Specifications for the Core i5-14400/F The Raptor Lake Refresh design is fibbed on the “Intel 7” manufacturing node, just like the higher-end K-Series devices that Intel unveiled last year. This also applies to the lower-power models. Updated 13th-generation Raptor Lake CPUs from 2022 are used in Intel’s latest chips. Intel Core i9-14900K, i7-14700K, and i5-14600K evaluations detail the architecture.

Intel’s F-series Core i5-14400F, which lacks the 24-EU integrated UHD Graphics 730 engine and requires a detached GPU, costs $15 less and performs similarly. Although many of the 13th generation boxed CPUs from Intel were recently decommissioned, the present price of $185 for the previous generation Core i5-13400F may not last long.

The latest Core i5 variants fit onto Intel’s 600 and 700-series motherboards, much like their K-Series predecessors did. However, the former is getting harder to get at fair pricing. Because the Intel Core i5-14400 is a 65W / 125W model, you should use motherboards from the B- and H-series, which are more reasonably priced.

With its Core i5 CPUs, Intel permits memory overclocking; nevertheless, multiplier overclocking is not possible (power restrictions can be raised, though). As with all overclocking, your mileage may vary, but Intel has also finally unlocked the System Agent (SA) voltage, meaning that if you’re willing to put in a little more effort to tune, you could achieve greater peak DDR4 speeds in Gear 1.

Although we usually advise purchasing a better cooler, the Laminar RM1 cooler that comes packed is at least functional. You will have to put up with a little more noise because the default cooler isn’t silent. When the power constraints are removed, the included cooler is sufficient for multi-threaded workloads and can manage the chip at the lower 65W/148W power limits.

Higher ambient temperatures and longer workloads may have an impact on performance. Therefore, choosing a less expensive air or water cooler may help you operate more efficiently throughout extended periods of time.

With the exception of compatibility for up to 192GB of RAM, the Core i5 models have a lower DDR5 transfer rate, measuring DDR5-4800 as opposed to DDR5-5200 found in the more powerful variants. This means that the Intel Core i5-14400 has most of the capabilities of the more powerful models. Support for DDR4 is still available at DDR4-3200, giving manufacturers a less expensive choice that, when using stock settings, offers performance that is almost identical to that of DDR5.

Any cost reductions are much less noticeable, though, as DDR5 pricing has significantly decreased since we examined the Core i5-13400 from the previous generation. Furthermore, the Ryzen 7 5700X3D, which also supports DDR4 and joins the reasonably priced AM4 ecosystem, presents a formidable rivalry for the Core i5-14400.

For most of the previous generation Core i5 processors, Intel used two different types of dies, both of which provided the same performance. The 14th-generation Intel Core i5-14400 and Core i3 models carry on with this approach. A 13th-generation Raptor Lake die or a C0 stepping 12th-generation Alder Lake die were the two types of dies available for the 13th generation. We bought our test sample at retail, and it’s a C0 die, which means it has the same design as the Alder Lake chips from the previous two generations but contains four more activated E-cores.

In addition, the Intel Core i5-14400 supports additional connectivity options like as USB 3.2 with up to 20 Gbps transfer rates and the same PCIe 5.0/4.0 lane allocations as the previous generation CPUs. Let us move on to the benchmarks.
