RIP Intel Pentium and Celeron starting 2023: 'Intel Processor' coming

Anthony Garreffa | Sep 18, 2022 10:12 PM CDT

Man, today is a sad day... Intel is retiring the Celeron and Pentium CPU brands, where it's calling it an adjustment to product names moving into 2023 and beyond.

RIP Intel Pentium and Celeron starting 2023: 'Intel Processor' coming 08

Intel will drop the Celeron and Pentium names for 2023 laptop CPUs with something called the new "Intel processor", while sharpening its focus on flagship brands like Intel Core, Intel Evo, and Intel vPro. This new update only affects the mobile processors, but I'm sure we're going to see some big changes for Intel CPUs in the coming months as the new 13th Gen Core "Raptor Lake" CPUs launch.

The new Intel Processor was introduced with this news, which will serve as the brand name for multiple processor families with Intel explaining it helps simplify the product purchase experience for consumers. Intel will continue to make its other processors like normal, with the new Intel Processor aimed at 2023 laptops.

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X: 5.85GHz only if under 50C, 5.7GHz for AIO coolers

Anthony Garreffa | Sep 14, 2022 9:42 PM CDT

AMD's new Ryzen 9 7950X "Zen 4" processor might rock out with its 16 cores and 32 threads of Zen 4 processing power at up to 5.85GHz... but how will you get there?

AMD's new Ryzen 9 7950X "Zen 4" processor

We've been told all of the official stuff about the new Ryzen 9 7950X -- 16 cores and 32 threads based on the new Zen 4 architecture, made on TSMC's new 5nm process node, with up to 5.7GHz CPU clocks and a price of $699. AMD has a default 170W TDP while 230W PPT when the Ryzen 9 7950X (and Ryzen 9 7900X) is overclocked.

But now, the folks over at Wccftech have talked with some sources and revealed that the peak frequency for AMD's new flagship Ryzen 9 7950X processor will be "rated a little higher" than the 5.70GHz boost clock, but note that temperatures play a very important role here. The 5.70GHz CPU frequency on the Ryzen 9 7950X is only going to be hit if you've got the cooling chops to pull it off.

It's not the first time Intel has had its flagship processor pushed to 8000MHz+ with the current 12th Gen Core "Alder Lake" platform last year, but now the upcoming 13th Gen Core "Raptor Lake" platform is here with its own version of 8000MHz+ and thanks to its improved innards, well, we can't wait.

Intel's new 13th Gen Core "Raptor Lake" CPUs will have up to 15% more single-threaded performance, and up to 41% more multi-threaded performance over the current-gen 12th Gen Core "Alder Lake" CPUs. The news was confirmed during the Intel Tech Tour to those on tour, pun intended, with Intel confirming that Raptor Lake will be the first with an SKU that's offered at over 6GHz stock, but didn't nail down the details on which exact SKU that will be.

AMD Ryzen CPU naming scheme for 2023+ makes things clearer, confusing

Anthony Garreffa | Sep 8, 2022 10:14 PM CDT

AMD is updating the model numbering system for its Ryzen CPUs starting in 2023 and beyond, where the new numbering system makes it easier -- their goal -- for consumers to see where Ryzen CPUs stack up against each other moving forward.

2023+ model numbering system for AMD Ryzen CPUs

The new numbering system starts with the "Portfolio Model Year" and 7 which indicates the year (2023) while an 8 would mean 2024, 9 would be 2025, and well 10... I guess we might see a new numbering system by then or AMD could go super-powered and go over 10,000. The next one is the "Market Segment" where you'll know how powerful the CPU is: the x9xx CPU being a Ryzen 9 part, an x3xx CPU being a Ryzen 3 chip, and so on.

Next up you've got the "Architecture" where which is the new part for users, where "4" will start off thanks to the newly-announced and soon-to-be-released Zen 4 architecture, with the final number being the "Feature Isolation" which AMD splits into 0 and above being a lower model within the segment while 5 and over is the upper model within the segment.

Intel Core i9-13900K 'Raptor Lake' CPU used to breach 8GHz+ barrier

Anthony Garreffa | Sep 8, 2022 9:33 PM CDT

Intel's new 13th Gen Core "Raptor Lake" CPUs haven't even been released yet, but they're being used to break some OC world records at the dizzying heights of 8GHz... yeah 8000MHz+.

Intel's new Core i9-13900K engineering sample "ES" CPU: that tasty "Intel Confidential"

The new Intel Core i9-13900K processor was used, chilled with LN2 cooling on an "unreleased Z790 motherboard" where the CPU went up to a flat 8GHz (8000MHz). The folks over at Wccftech managed to get their hands-on a screenshot from an overclocker who has an Intel Core i9-13900K engineering sample (ES) processor, in the "unreleased Z790 motherboard" and the aforementioned LN2 cooling.

The overclocker also teased that 8GHz is the "baseline" for the Core i9-13900K... wowzers.

The overclock was achieved across 8 P-Cores with SMT disabled, so 1-core results could see CPU clock speeds passing 8GHz+ without a problem. We should see 8GHz and beyond in the weeks and months to come, as more overclockers get their hands-on the new Core i9-13900K (and other 13th Gen Core "Raptor Lake" CPUs) once they launch later this month.

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X processor runs at toasty 95C at 230W power

Anthony Garreffa | Sep 1, 2022 7:16 PM CDT

AMD's new Ryzen 9 7950X processor has now been detailed, but there are things we don't know yet and one of those is thermals... especially under load.

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X processor runs at toasty 95C at 230W power 03

But weeks before release, Enthusiast Citizen wrote on Bilibili from people who have both Zen 4 and Raptor Lake CPUs in their hands with some early thermal results. AMD's new Zen 4-powered Ryzen 9 7950X is running at a toasty 95C at 230W, which is needed for AMD to maintain 5GHz+ clock speeds. Meanwhile, Intel's new "Raptor Lake" powered Core i9-13900K runs at a cooler 82C with the same cooler.

Wccftech also reports from their sources that the new Ryzen 9 7000 series CPUs are running at 92-94C, even when it's being cooled with a high-end 360mm AIO cooler. This is without any overclocking applied but remember: this is an engineering/qualifying sample and not in final retail form so thermal performance should be different.
