AMD's upcoming Rembrandt APUs could feature iGPUs that approach the GeForce GTX 970 in terms of performance (Image source: AMD)

Tipster outs 3DMark Time Spy score for upcoming AMD Rembrandt 6000 series APUs: new iGPUs could offer near GeForce GTX 970 performance

Tipster @9550Pro recently outed what appears to be a 3DMark Time Spy score for an unspecified AMD Rembrandt APU. The purported 6000 series APU scores 2700, which is within spitting distance of the GeForce GTX 1650, and not far off from the legendary GeForce GTX 970. With GPU prices remaining extremely high, Rembrandt could offer gamers a more affordable alternative.

Samsung Galaxy S22 series touted to arrive in India with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 instead of the Exynos 2200

Fans of Samsung's Galaxy S series in India have strongly opined that getting the Exynos variants of the phones put them at a disadvantage. It appears, however, that there'll be no cause for such complaints next year, as a new leak indicates that the Indian models of the Galaxy S22 series will be equipped with Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.

Intel may have a winner in the popular US$120 processor segment with the Core i3-12100. The Core i3-12100 is yet to be released, but early benchmarks prove that the entry-level Alder Lake-S processor has enough muscle to beat the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X and Ryzen 3 3100 in most benchmarks, that too with reduced power consumption and thermals.

Ryzen 5 5600U is putting pressure on Intel and its 11th gen Core series on midrange laptops

When AMD's midrange Ryzen 5 can handily outperform Intel's fastest Core i7 U-series lineup in the most important multi-thread workloads, then it becomes that much easier to recommend AMD over Intel in the budget to midrange laptop tiers.

The Asus VivoBook 15 KM513 impresses in more ways than one with its excellent OLED HDR panel and very good AMD Ryzen 5 5500U performance — a combination that is not often seen in the mid-range. However, given that this is a VivoBook device, several weak spots still remain. We evaluate all these aspects in our review.

84% Schenker XMG Apex 15 in gaming laptop review: This time with laptop CPU, but still with desktop cooling

Where is the desktop CPU? The predecessor was equipped with a swappable socket CPU for desktops, wiped the floor with the competition in terms of performance, but was clearly too loud. The current Apex 15 uses a normal laptop CPU, but still retains some features from the predecessor. This has advantages and disadvantages, but which ones outweigh the others?

OLED for the rest of us. With the new VivoBook K Series range, Asus aims to bring some of the features normally found in premium ZenBook offerings at more accessible prices. The Asus VivoBook 15 KM513 offers the AMD Ryzen 5 5500U APU and a vibrant Samsung OLED HDR panel at a starting price of ₹62,990 (US$846). While this is surely an enticing proposition, some of the qualms that the VivoBook series is known for continue to remain.
