Core i7-12800HX vs. Ryzen 9 6900HX benchmarks show Intel ahead of the game but at a huge cost to your power bill

Core i7-12800HX vs. Ryzen 9 6900HX benchmarks show Intel ahead of the game but at a huge cost to your power bill

Our first in-house benchmarks on the 16-core Core i7-12800HX are in courtesy of the MSI Raider GE67. While raw performance is faster than expected, it doesn't exactly come free as the 12th gen processor is significantly more power-hungry than most other mobile CPUs currently in the market.

Apple M2 MacBook Air sales likely to usher in bleak winter for Wintel laptop shipments

The emergence of the 2022 Apple MacBook Air with M2 chip will contribute to a considerable downturn in Wintel (Windows/Intel) laptop sales according to a new report from DigiTimes. The acceptable, and even downright attractive, M2 MacBook Air price points will leave competing Wintel notebooks looking like a tough sell.

The matte 4k display (IPS, 144 Hz) scores with a good color reproduction and high brightness. Our test shows what else the new Blade 17 in the high-end configuration can do.

Apple MacBook Pro 13 with M2 takes Dell XPS 13 Plus with i7-1260P to pieces in benchmark onslaught but at least the x86 laptop looks cooler while getting hotter

The 2022 Apple MacBook Pro 13 with M2 chip has completely outclassed a Dell XPS 13 Plus with Intel Core i7-1260P processor in a series of synthetic benchmarks. While the XPS 13 Plus was clearly superior in storage-based performance and overall design, the ARM-based M2 MacBook Pro soon left the x86 laptop feeling hot under the collar.

Apple, AMD and Nvidia scale back chip orders, TSMC's 2022 revenues could take a hit

With the growing inflation and the uncertainties brought by the Ukrainian war, Smartphones and PC components are not selling that well anymore, so Apple, AMD and Nvidia are now forced to scale back their chip orders from TSMC, which, in turn, might not see soaring revenues as previously projected in early 2022.

Core i5-1235U vs. Core i7-1165G7 benchmarks show similar CPU performance levels but slower graphics

The 25 W Core i5-1235U offers no significant gains over the year-old Core i5-1135G7 or Core i7-1165G7 based on our early in-house benchmark results. The 12th gen chip almost feels like a rebrand in many ways. For more performance, users will want to look at the Core i7-1260P instead.

Almost a ZenBook. Despite being "only" a Vivobook, the Vivobook S 14X uses the same 14.5-inch Samsung OLED panel as the Zenbook Pro 14 Duo for a similar viewing experience at a much cheaper price. If you're looking to spend just under $1000 USD on an Ultrabook, then this Asus can offer a lot for the money.

Apple MacBook Pro 13 M2

The new Apple M2 requires an active cooling solution and is even slightly throttled in the MacBook Pro 13

The first MacBook with Apple's new M2 SoC is the familiar MacBook Pro 13. It uses a cooling solution with a fan, but it still cannot handle the full performance of the Apple M2 for more than a couple of seconds. This worries us a bit when we think about the upcoming MacBook Air M2 redesign, which once again features a passive cooling solution.

92% Apple MacBook Pro 13 2022 M2 Laptop Review – Debut for the new Apple M2

More performance in a familiar shape. We still have to wait for the brand-new redesign of the MacBook Air, but Apple already launched the updated version of the MacBook Pro 13 with the new Apple M2 processor. The changes are otherwise very limited since both the display as well as the chassis including the Touch Bar are unchanged from the previous model.

Samsung touts GAAFET as the best thing since, well...FinFET. (Source: Samsung)

Rumor | Samsung 3nm GAAFET mass production will kick off by the end of June 2022 at the earliest

Samsung is now rumored to launch the full-scale manufacture of its next-gen, 3 nanometer (3nm) chips by very late June or early July 2022. Doing so would allow it to beat its rival TSMC to announcing such a breakthrough. The South Korean giant is expected to apply its patented form of gate-all-around field-effect transistor (GAAFET) to its latest cutting-edge production node.
