AMD Ryzen 7 3800XT Spotted in Ashes Benchmark: 10% Faster than the 3800Xedit
AMD’s upcoming Ryzen 7 3800 XT has been spotted in the Ashes benchmark, and the results show a nominal improvement over the existing Matisse family. The 3800XT scores 7,400 points at 1080p using the “crazy” preset, yielding 76.6 FPS. This makes it roughly 10% faster than the vanilla Ryzen 7 3800X in the same benchmark. Although this may not seem like a big boost, keep in mind that Ashes of the Singularity doesn’t benefit from higher core clocks as much as other games which is also why AMD’s Ryzen parts often come out ahead of the Intel competition here.

AMD Places Additional 5nm Chip Orders w/ TSMC, Taking Space Vacated by Huawei Banedit
After the US prohibited TSMC from supplying Huawei with its cutting-edge 5nm chips, the company was left in an uncomfortable position. One of its major clients was cut off from the supply chain, leaving a wide gulf in the foundry’s 5nm process capacity. Fortunately for TSMC, AMD has stepped up and replaced the 5nm capacity vacated by Huawei.

Intel’s Comet Lake desktop CPUs cannot touch AMD’s dominance shows latest Mindfactory salesedit
We expected the new Intel Comet Lake-S desktop CPUs to revive Intel’s worst condition ever in the desktop CPU sales. But as brought to attention by @TechEpiphany, the latest Mindfactory sales data shows that in Week 23, AMD totally dominated Intel with 87.25% sales to Intel’s 12.75% only. If we see the sales numbers then we see AMD Ryzen 3000 CPUs totally dominating Intel ones, and surprisingly, new 10th Gen Intel Comet-Lake CPUs did not make a good impact in the market.

AMD Hints at higher minimum-VRAM GPUs in latest blog postedit
While 8GB may not be the new norm, it would be nice to see AMD ramp up the minimum VRAM up to 6GB at least. AMD has always been the one to push boundaries of GPU spec, with being the first to bring HBM to the market. AMD was also the first to bring an 8GB VRAM GPU to the market, so it wouldn’t be too far off to assume that the company would do something similar with their upcoming RDNA 2 GPUs.

Intel 11th Gen Rocket Lake-S CPUs to Bring Gen12 Xe Graphics to Desktops in 2021edit
It turns out that Intel’s 11th Gen Rocket Lake-S processors will come paired with the Gen12 Xe graphics, bringing the first wave of Xe iGPUs to the mainstream desktop platform in 2021. This was confirmed by an SiSoft listing unearthed on Twitter by APISAK. The iGPU in question is a 32CU part (256 shaders) running at around 1.2GHz. It has an L2 cache of 512KB, and although the score is rather modest, that’s quite normal considering the early stages in which the chip was tested.
