Apple is once again the most valuable brand on Earth in 2022

Apple has been placed at #1 in a newly-released list of 500 brands ranked by "value" in 2022. The Cupertino giant has retained this position due to its perception as a company that releases high-end, reliable and easily recognizable products on a regular basis. Of course, being a tech company has not hurt in this respect, either.

The new Alder Lake mobile chip, the Intel Core i9-12900HK, has made its first appearance on UserBenchmark, and it’s unsurprisingly impressive. The i9-12900HK was even able to just outbench the Zen 3 Ryzen 9 5950X, which is a desktop chip. But it shouldn’t be too long before AMD’s Zen 4-based Ryzen 7000 series shakes things up some more.

One giant leap for chip kind. Our first Alder Lake-H performance numbers are in, and enthusiasts seem to be in for a treat. We pit the Core i9-12900HK in the MSI GE76 Raider against Tiger Lake-H, AMD Cezanne Zen 3, and Apple M1 Max SoCs to see what kind of improvements one can expect with Intel's latest mobile offering. From what we see so far, Intel has finally been able to thwart both AMD and Apple in their tracks but at some expense of power.

AMD Zen 4 Ryzen 7000 Raphael ES APUs with 8 and 16 cores spotted in MilkyWay@home project, shown to feature double the L2 cache per core compared to Zen 3

Engineering samples (ES) of AMD Ryzen 7000 Raphael are already being tested in the wild if a recent entry discovered in the MilkyWay@home project is anything to go by. The listing does not reveal the clocks but does confirm an 8C/16T and a 16C/32T part both with 1 MB of L2 cache per core, which is double of what Zen 3 currently offers.

AYA NEO NEXT: Company confirms change to AMD Ryzen 7 5825U for some models; no Ryzen 6000 APUs or RDNA 2 iGPUs until late 2022

The AYA NEO team will not be releasing the AYA NEO NEXT series exclusively with last-generation AMD Ryzen APUs. Instead, the company has confirmed that some models will ship with the Ryzen 7 5825U, a Barcelo APU with broadly the same specifications as the Ryzen 7 5800U. However, AYA NEO handhelds with Ryzen 6000 APUs and RDNA 2-based iGPUs will not launch until the end of 2022 at the earliest.
