The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 FE is a special GPU that delivers unparalleled gaming performance at a relatively cheaper price, especially when compared to the price of the RTX 3090. On top of that, the graphics card also offers 10GB video memory, that too the GDDR6X, which has higher bandwidth when compared to the GPU like AMD Radeon RX 6800 or the RX 6800XT. For this review purpose, we used the AMD Ryzen 5950X CPU with the RTX 3080 FE GPU, and here are a few graphs to understand the performance of the GPU.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is said to feature 4864 CUDA cores with 152 Tensor cores and 38 RT cores. This makes the new mid-range GPU faster than the last year’s RTX 2080 SUPER, and much like last year, the RTX 3060 Ti is supposed to cost 399 USD, launching on December 2nd. The 3060 Ti has a silver-tone 12-pin power cable; however, it comes with an adapter. So, the new RTX 3060 Ti GPU from NVIDIA is much more exciting than it seems because even though it will eventually cost under $400, it is more powerful than an RTX 2080 Super.

According to a report from TechNews Taiwan, Intel will be outsourcing its lower-end Core i3 processors to TSMC’s 5nm EUV process in 2022. This is a bit weird as it’d mean that the tape-out for the i3s would have to be optimized for TSMC’s manufacturing node, while the i5s and i7s would continue to use Intel’s own foundry. It’s possible that Intel plans to leverage both TSMC and its own process nodes to fabricate the same lineup, but that will undoubtedly cause variations in performance and efficiency across the same models.

Intel hasn’t had things this year. From AMD’s impressive showing in benchmark scores, to Apple’s new Silicon M1 chips dominating benchmarks. The launch of its 11th-gen Tiger Lake processors for laptops has seemingly been pushed to the sidelines as a consequence and the silicon juggernaut is looking for ways to get back into the spotlight.
