AMD’s new FX-9590 is the company’s – though not the world’s – first 5GHz processor, although it reaches these heady heights only under Turbo Core conditions.

AMD had a surprise for those attending the Electronics Entertainment Expo (E3) last night: the unveiling of two new flagship entries in its FX family of processors, including what the company claims is the world’s first 5GHz processor.

Now, before you get too excited, there’s a caveat there: while the Piledriver-based eight-core FX-9590 does indeed state on its box that it runs at 5GHz, it does so only under conditions suited to AMD’s Turbo Core 3.0. The speed at which the chip runs when Turbo Core 3.0 can’t be used – such as when all eight of the processing cores are fully loaded, or when the temperature of the chip reaches too high a level – is somewhat lower than that headline-grabbing figure.

It’s also not the world’s first 5GHz processor, despite AMD’s claims to the contrary: back in 2007 IBM released a dual-core 5GHz Power 6 chip for the high-performance computing (HPC) market, followed by the 5.2GHz IBM z196 in 2010. ‘This is another proud innovation for AMD in delivering the world’s first commercially available 5GHz processor,‘ crowed AMD’s Bernd Lienhard at the event, unfortunately neglecting to point out its status as the world’s first commercially available 5GHz x86 processor.

Those clarifications aside, on to AMD’s announcement of what is still a pretty impressive achievement. ‘At E3 this week, AMD demonstrated why it is at the core of gaming,‘ claimed Lienhard. ‘The new FX 5 GHz processor is an emphatic performance statement to the most demanding gamers seeking ultra-high resolution experiences including AMD Eyefinity technology.‘

The FX-9590, the company’s flagship entry in the FX series, is the model with a headline-grabbing 5GHz Turbo Core clockspeed and an as-yet unconfirmed base clock of 4.7GHz. The FX-9370, meanwhile, runs at 4.7GHz under Turbo Core and a rumoured 4.4GHz otherwise. Both models include eight Piledriver processing cores, unlocked multipliers and 8MB of cache memory, with neither including accelerated processing unit (APU)-style integrated graphics. Thermal design profile (TDP) on either chip has yet to be revealed.

If you’re hankering for an upgrade, however, there’s a disappointment to come: AMD is concentrating on releasing the parts to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) first, with no news yet as to when the parts will come to retail nor how much they will cost when they do. Systems based on both chips are expected to appear from the usual companies this summer, meaning a retail release for the CPUs themselves is unlikely to occur before the third quarter.

The PS4 will be £80 cheaper than the Xbox One.

Sony has revealed that the PS4 price will be £349 ($399), some £80 cheaper than its major competitor the Xbox One.

The news will be a massive blow for Microsoft after the company revealed only hours earlier that it intended to charge £429 for its new console.

Further compounding the bad news for Microsoft is that Sony revealed the PlayStation 4 will fully support reuse of games bought on disc, allowing for secondhand games to be sold or lent to friends. In contrast the Xbox One may require online activation and have other restrictions on how users can lend and sell-on their games (it will be somewhat developer/publisher dependent).

Announcing the pricing right at the end of its E3 2013 press conference, the reaction from analysts, commentators and on social media has been immediate and strong, with the majority of opinion about which of the two new consoles will be the favourite having swung massively in favour of Sony, suggesting Microsoft may have to rethink its pricing plans even before launch.

Both consoles will be arriving towards the tail end of the year, with the Xbox One released date confirmed as being in November.

PS4 Specs

The PS4 hardware design was also revealed today, showing the console to sport a similar look to the Xbox One, with flat sides and sharp angles. It was also confirmed that it will have a 500GB hard drive and be region-free.

As for the console’s processors the CPU part will utilise eight Jaguar cores while the GPU part will use 18 compute units running at 800MHz, for a total processing power of 1.84 TFLOPS. The final specs of the Xbox One haven’t yet been revealed but it is believed its GPU will have 12 processing units running at the same speed. As has long been confirmed, both consoles use chips made by AMD and that incorporate the CPU and GPU onto a single piece of silicon.

• Product name: PlayStation 4 Jet Black
• Product code: CUH-1000A series
• Recommended retail price: US $399, Canada $399, Europe €399, and UK £349
• Main processor: Single-chip custom processor
• CPU: x86/64 AMD “Jaguar”, eight cores
• GPU: 1.84 TFLOPS, AMD next-generation Radeon based graphics engine
• Memory: GDDR5 8GB
• Storage: 500GB hard disk drive
• External dimensions: Approx 275x53x305mm (width x height x length -tentative, excludes largest projection)
• Mass: Approx 2.8kg
• Optical Drive: BD x6 CAV, DVD x8 CAV (read only)
• Input/Output: Super-Speed USB (USB 3.0) port x2, AUX port x1
• Networking: Ethernet (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T) x1, IEEE 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1 (EDR)

Streacom’s DB4, pictured by FanlessTech, will offer completely passive cooling for up to four 65W TDP components in a 250mm cube.

Details of Streacom’s upcoming DB4 fan-free case, due to launch later this year, have been revealed – and show a clever modular design that could allow for totally passive cooling of a surprisingly powerful system.

According to details provided by Streacom to silent cooling specialist site FanlessTech, the DB4 is a sleek 250mm aluminium cube raised from a surface by a single curved-aluminium ‘foot’ and fitted with a glossy piano-black plastic lid. The aluminium sides are cut with ridges running vertically, and they’re not just for show: each side of the case acts as a passive heatsink for the components inside.

Streacom claims that the DB4 is capable of cooling 65W TDP components on each side, with a separate component able to be connected to all four sides. Speaking to FanlessTech, Streacom’s Oliver Pusse explained: ‘You can use one side for the CPU, one for a dedicated GPU, and another one for our fanless 250 Watt ZeroFlex power supply.‘ Even that configuration would leave one side free to cool something else, thanks to an interesting layout that leaves the motherboard sitting vertically and the input/ouput panel facing downwards – hence the raised foot and gap for cable management visible in some of the photos.

It’s a clever design, and one that will appeal to those who need truly silent computing, but it is also somewhat limited: while the case is technically suited to up to 260W of passive heat dissipation, its limit of 65W per component – unless the user fancies daisy-chaining two sides together to cool one part, which is unlikely to work terribly well – means that top-end parts aren’t going to be compatible. While CPUs will be relatively well supported – Intel’s Haswell Core i7-4770S features a 65W TDP, for example – GPUs are going to be a different matter, with only lower-end boards like the AMD Radeon HD 7750 and Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 squeaking in under the 65W limit.

With that said, even with a sub-65W processor and graphics card a DB4 system should offer pretty acceptable performance, and while it isn’t going to playing games across three monitors at ultra-high settings any time soon that’s a trade-off many may be willing to make in exchange for a completely silent system.

The Streacom DB4 is expected to launch in late September or early October, at a price of €200 (around £170 excluding taxes.)

Apple on Monday updated some models of its PC line with faster processors and improved battery life.

During a keynote address at the company’s developers conference, Phil Schiller, Apple’s head of marketing, unveiled a couple of new versions of the MacBook Air laptop and also gave developers a sneak peek of an updated
Mac Pro desktop PC.

The new MacBook Air models are available Monday and start at $999. They include Intel’s fourth-generation Core processor, dubbed Haswell, as well as a faster Wi-Fi known was 802.11ac.

Battery life is an area with significant improvement. The 11-inch MacBook Air now has nine hours of battery life, up from five in the previous generation, and the 13-inch will have 12 hours, up from seven in the earlier model. Apple didn’t mention a possible Retina MacBook Air.

The Mac Pro, meanwhile, will include a new Intel Xeon processor and come standard with dual AMD workstation discrete graphics processors. It also will support 4K, ultra high-definition displays out of the box, and the system is only one eighth the volume of the earlier Mac Pro.

“Can’t innovate anymore, my ass,” Schiller said during the keynote address at
WWDC.

The Mac Pro will be available later this year and will be assembled in the U.S.

Apple currently is hosting its Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco. Among the expected announcements is an update to its mobile operating system and a new radio service.

Several computers in Apple’s Mac line have been due for an update. The Mac Pro, one of Apple’s most expensive products and one favored by creative types, hasn’t had a full-blown update in years. And an annual update for the MacBook Air also has been expected.

Three monitors and one massive laptop? It’s one way to go about it.

AMD didn’t have too many new and exciting things to show at Computex 2013, despite launching a new range of APUs during the event. However, our eyes were drawn to a couple of rather impressive surround gaming demonstrations.

The first used an MSI GX70 3BE gaming laptop to power three Full HD monitors in a typical 5,760 x 1,080 surround gaming setup. It was running Bioshock Infinite at High detail settings and what really impressed was just how playable the demo was, with it running very smoothly.

The 17in, 2in-thick laptop runs both an AMD APU and an AMD HD 8970 graphics card, and even has options for up to three mSATA SSDs to run in RAID 0, alongside a conventional 2.5in drive.

The other demonstration marked our first quality time with a five-monitor surround gaming setup: where the monitors are rotated 90degrees. Here AMD was demonstrating Tomb Raider running at 5,400 x 1,920 on a single HD 7990, again with impressively smooth results at high detail settings.

Using five monitors like this is an extra specially immersive experience as the near semi-circle of tall monitors really does fill your entire view. In fact, particularly with faster-moving mouse-controlled games like Tomb Raider, having the world move so quickly in the periphery of your vision is quite an odd feeling.

The wall of monitors also has a deadening effect on sound, really isolating you from your surroundings and further sucking you in.

AMD may not have the fastest graphics cards at the moment but it has just done a very good job of reminding us precisely what the power of a high-end card can really be used for.

AMD A10-6800K and A10-6700 (Richland) Reviews

Manufacturer: AMD
A10-6800K UK price (as reviewed): £114.82 (inc VAT)
A10-6800K US price (as reviewed): $149.99 (ex Tax)
A10-6700 UK price (as reviewed): £114.80 (inc VAT)
A10-6700 US price (as reviewed): $148.99 (ex TAX)

In spite of Nvidia’s recent high end GPU launches, AMD’s range continues to remain competitive on this front, but its performance CPUs are sadly little match for Intel’s, with the recent release of Haswell further cementing the latter company’s lead in this arena. Its APUs are a different matter, however, as since the release of Llano, AMD has had a clear lead over Intel when it comes to onboard GPU performance, which Trinity subsequently improved upon. This has made the FM1 and FM2 platforms viable and attractive choices for budget builds where the power of a discrete GPU isn’t necessary, with APUs like the A10-5800K offering decent overall performance for a reasonable price. Indeed so compelling is the approach that famously both Microsoft and Sony have chosen AMD APUs to power their next generation consoles.

The recent reveal of AMD’s 2013 APU platforms demonstrated that the company is keen to focus much of its efforts on the mobile computing market. Temash, Kabini and the mobile Richland range placed much emphasis on low power consumption and increased performance-per-watt, traits which are somewhat more relevant in the world of notebooks, hybrids and tablets than in that of desktops. It’s easy to draw parallels with Haswell here too, as despite its desktop debut, the claimed significant improvements to power efficiency and onboard graphics will mainly be felt as Intel’s new architecture finds its way into the mobile space.

Nevertheless, it’s fair to say that neither AMD nor Intel has completely neglected desktop users, and today marks the launch of the non-mobile Richland APUs, with five new SKUs being made available immediately. Rather than a significant architectural overhaul, Richland is a relatively minor update to Trinity. As such, the new APUs are all based on socket FM2 and consequently supported by the exciting A-series chipsets, namely A55, A75 and A85x.

Depending on where you look, the price of the new APUs command roughly a 10 or 20 percent price premium over the corresponding Trinity parts, although AMD claims that Richland will sit alongside Trinity in its FM2 range rather than outright replacing it.

Today we’re testing the two top models of the range, the A10-6800K and the A10-6700. They can both be found for £110, which makes them around £20 dearer than the Intel Core i3-3220, the most recent budget CPU we’ve had the opportunity to look at.

At a high level, there’s little that’s changed between Trinity and Richland, as both sets of desktop APUs are based on Piledriver cores, built with 32nm technology and rated with TDPs of 65-100W. The Radeon 7000 series’ onboard graphics component has been newly christened as the Radeon 8000 series, but in this instance both are fundamentally the same thing. As before, the GPU’s memory is tied to the system memory, so faster memory kits should mean higher frame rates.

As AMD has stuck with the same 32nm manufacturing process and the same form factor and die size as before, there’s quite literally little room for physical improvements. Thus, one of the most obvious areas for increasing performance is that of clock speeds, and indeed both the CPU and GPU clocks have been given a bump. The A10-6800K and A10-6700 have had their GPU clock speed increased by 5.5 percent compared to the A10-5800K and A10-5700, while the base CPU clock has been upped by about 8 and 9 percent respectively. Hopefully these higher clock speeds haven’t impacted on the chip’s overclocking potential, which you can read about over the page.

The new Poseidon range will feature an conventional air-cooler along with connections for water-cooling.

Asus has introduced a new concept in graphics card coolers called Asus Poseidon, which uses a conventional air cooler and incorporates water-cooling connections.

Not officially announced for any particular card yet, the new cooler system was shown on a dual-slot card that uses a centrally mounted fan that exhausts air through the back, front and top of the card. This air cooler should, on its own, provide ample cooling for conventional usage. However, by incorporating a waterblock and G1/4in connections, the card can also be converted to a water-cooled part.

Asus claimed a 31degrees Celsius drop in temperatures when using the water-cooling, also inferring that it would reduce temperatures while reducing noise. It was also indicated that the user would have the choice of running the fan in conjunction with the water cooler for even better cooling performance.

Asus was unwilling to reveal the chip/card for which the system had been developed, though it seemed – by the size of the card – likely to be either an Nvidia GTX 780 or AMD HD 7970, suggesting the system will be able to cope with high-power cards.

There are many reasons to have reservations about Poseidon, including that the extra surface area required to make for an efficient air cooler will mean a higher-cost and a bulkier card than a conventional water-cooled card, but on a higher level the concept has merits: in theory users will be able to buy the card and use it in an air-cooled mode until such time that they can afford or have the time to fit the card into a water cooling loop.

No direct indication was given as to when Poseidon would be making a debut but it seems likely that if it is to arrive it will do so around Q4.

Would you consider buying an air-cooled card with the idea of potentially upgrading to a water-cooled system, or does Poseidon seem like a concept too far? Let us kno your thoughts in the forums.

The early prototype was fitted with a full-coverage waterblock, dual 120mm-fan 60mm radiator and front-bay reservoir

While much of the graphics market might be focused on Nvidia’s new 7-series right now, AMD partner Sapphire is still flying the Radeon flag, and showed off a prototype of a water-cooling HD 7990 6GB here at Computex 2013.

The custom PCB card uses three 8-pin PCI-E connectors in a similar fashion to the Club3D HD 7990 6GB we looked at last year, but replaces the huge 3-slot cooler with a svelte single slot copper water block. A stylish black heatspreader also covers the back of the card. Similarly, a snazzy looking heatspreader covered the motherboard and CPU.

Connected to the waterblock was a dual-120mm fan, 60mm thick water cooling radiator and a 5.25in drive bay reservoir, with Sapphire unsure of whether to sell the card as a do-it-yourself kit and have users self-fill the loop, or to launch it as a closed-loop liquid cooled card in the vein as its previous Atomic branded premium cards.

Either way, pricing is likely to be well in excess of £1,000 only see a limited release in the same fashion as crazy-but-cool cards like Asus’ Ares 2.

FinalWire’s AIDA64 3.00 includes rewritten memory benchmarks that vastly improve accuracy on multi-threaded systems – but render comparisons with previous releases void.

FinalWire has launched a major update to its AIDA64 benchmarking and diagnostic utility, bringing entirely rewritten memory benchmarks and support for AMD and Intel’s latest processor products.

AIDA64 3.00, released today, brings with it entirely new memory benchmarks which replace previous versions – described by the company as ‘outdated.’ ‘The new bandwidth benchmarks now use multiple threads to squeeze out every last bit of performance from the caches and the memory modules. On modern multi-core processors, using the old single-threaded benchmarks you couldn’t see the actual memory bandwidth, but only the memory bandwidth available for single-threaded applications,‘ the company explains of its new release.

‘With the new benchmarks you will however get considerably higher scores, much closer to the theoretical memory bandwidth available. It is especially true for 3-channel and 4-channel memory configurations, such as Intel X58 and X79 based high-end desktop systems; and also for NUMA-enabled multi-socket systems, such as 2- and 4-way AMD Opteron and Intel Xeon based servers and workstations.‘

Figures quoted by the company show a dramatic difference: an Intel Core i7-3960X running on an X79 chipset motherboard with quad-channel DDR3-1600 memory jumps from 16,825MB/s memory read using the old-style benchmark code found in AIDA64 2.85 to a whopping 45,640MB/s in AIDA64 3.00. Similar boosts can be found in cache memory testing, with multi-threading and AVX/AVX2 support seeing figures tripled compared to the old method. While this provides a more accurate estimation of the capabilities of modern multi-threaded memory subsystems, it does mean that scores are in no way comparable between the new AIDA64 release and previous versions.

The new software also includes rewritten memory latency benchmarks, using a new block-random approach that prevents memory controllers from over-optimising the results in order to avoid reading too-low figures. Again, this means that results won’t be comparable between versions – although those lucky enough to have their hands on Intel’s highest-end Crystal Well-equipped Haswell processors with their embedded L4 eDRAM cache will be pleased to hear that there’s support for benchmarking that part of the system, too.

Further optimisations include support for processor and chipset information dumping for Intel’s Haswell and AMD’s Kabini and Temash families and updated support for the latest Nvidia and AMD graphics hardware.

As usual, FinalWire is offering a 30-day trial of AIDA64 Extreme Edition, the home-user oriented release, from its official website. Those who want to use it beyond that time will need to pick up a licence at £28.13, while commercial users will need an Engineer Edition licence with 50 per cent discounts being offered to educational establishments and students.
