AMD has updated its Strix Point APUs, also known as Ryzen AI 300, with support higher memory frequency LPDDR5X-8000: Previously, the maximum memory frequency for these processors was 7500 MT/s, but now they will be able to operate with memory at 8000 MT/s. This move makes Strix Point one of the first processors on the laptop market that can support such high speeds, which will have a positive impact on performance.
The change also brings improvements to memory configuration. Previously, Strix Point supported 4x2R configuration (four double-sided modules), and now it can operate in 2x2R mode, which means it supports two double-sided modules. This allows the memory controller to process data more efficiently at high frequencies and increases overall throughput. The first device to ship with this new configuration will be the HP EliteBook X G1a notebook, which is expected to be released in December 2024.
Support for 8000 MT/s is important for laptops that use integrated graphics (iGPU), as it provides higher memory bandwidth, which can improve the performance of graphics applications and games. While the performance gain of 500 MT/s may not seem significant in most tasks, users with high graphics requirements will be able to feel the positive impact of this upgrade.
Future AMD APU models like the Krackan Point and Strix Halo will also reportedly support LPDDR5X-8000 out of the box, and some of them will be able to handle up to 96GB of memory.
Corsair has introduced a new high-speed SSD MP700 ELITE with support for the interface PCIe 5.0, which delivers incredible read and write speeds. The MP700 ELITE series uses advanced technologies, including 3D TLC NAND memory, which allows the device to reach speeds of up to 10,000 MB/s for sequential reading and up to 8,500 MB/s for writing. These figures make the MP700 ELITE one of the fastest SSDs on the market, suitable for demanding users who require maximum performance.
Benchmarks show that the MP700 ELITE significantly outperforms previous generation PCIe 4.0-based SSDs. For example, the Corsair MP600 PRO XT has read speeds of up to 7,100 MB/s and write speeds of up to 6,800 MB/s, which is almost 30% slower than the new MP700 ELITE. Even compared to a SATA SSD, which only reaches 560 MB/s read and 510 MB/s write, the new MP700 ELITE is literally several times faster. This makes it ideal for tasks such as launching games, booting the operating system, and large data transfer.
With PCIe 5.0, the MP700 ELITE delivers more efficient power consumption and reduces system load, which is especially important under heavy loads and long periods of operation. The device also features advanced cooling technologies to maintain optimal performance even under intensive use.
With the introduction of the Corsair MP700 ELITE, Corsair takes a major step forward, bringing users future-proof technology that will meet the needs of even the most demanding gamers and professionals.
A post by a user who shared a photo of his computer has gone viral on Reddit, who suffered because of difficult family relationships. The author said that after a conversation about divorce, his furious wife threw the computer out of the window. The reason for this action was the husband's admission that he no longer had romantic feelings for her and an offer to separate.
As the author himself explained, the situation escalated when he answered his wife's question about his feelings, saying that he loved her "like a sister" and wished her happiness. At the same time, he stated that he was ready to leave all his property to her, but the computer should remain his. "Damn, I'm an idiot! I could just tell her to take everything, but the carpet is mine," he ironically commented on his decision, causing a flurry of responses from users who discussed the incident with sympathy and humor.
A company representative was also found among the comments. Starforge Systems, a computer builder, who offered the author a free PC. This unexpected gesture delighted the audience and was a pleasant ending to this story. Users supported the idea, and many noted that Starforge Systems deserves praise for its willingness to help a person in an unpleasant situation.
The story received widespread coverage and reminded everyone of the power of kindness and community support that can brighten even the most difficult moments in life.

Gigabyte has revealed details of the new AMD Ryzen 9000 processor with 3D V-Cache, announcing the X3D Turbo Mode feature, which will significantly increase gaming performance. An important innovation is the ability automatic shutdown of one of the CCDs и SMT (hyperthreading) for 16- and 12-core processors. This optimization reduces the number of active cores for gaming, which helps improve overall efficiency while maintaining maximum performance per core.
Gigabyte's tests show that X3D Turbo Mode can deliver up to an 18% performance boost for the new Ryzen 9000 X3D models, a similar boost for models without X3D, and a 5% improvement for the Ryzen 9800X3D. Optimizations in X3D Turbo Mode include load balancing, bandwidth tuning, and balanced power consumption. These settings allow Ryzen models without 3D V-Cache to achieve X3D-level performance in games, creating a more smooth gameplay and increased FPS.
Gigabyte also confirmed that Ryzen 9000 models with 8 or more cores will not feature 3D V-Cache on both chiplets due to architectural limitations. The latest information suggests that the Ryzen 9000 series with 16 and 12 cores with 3D V-Cache will be unveiled at CES 2024 in January, where a more detailed announcement is expected.
New Intel Core processor Ultra 9 285H «Arrow Lake" shows impressive performance gains over Core Ultra 9 185H "Meteor Lake", according to the latest Geekbench tests. The 285H model shows an increase of up to 18,9% in single-threaded mode и 28% in multithreaded, surpassing its predecessor.
Core Ultra 9 285H is part of the line Arrow Lake-H and is designed for high-performance notebooks with TDP 45W.
