Gears of War E-Day is an uncharacteristically CPU-heavy Unreal Engine 5 game — benchmarking 25 CPUs from Intel and AMD and investigating ‘low core mode’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Unreal Engine 5 isn’t particularly heavy on the CPU, but Gears of War E-Day changes that narrative. If you have a monitoring overlay open when you load into the game, you’ll immediately notice your CPU pinned at between 80% and 90% utilization, which is a far cry from most other UE5 titles. Even stranger is that the scaling between CPUs is clear. For instance, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D netted 42% higher performance than the Ryzen 5 7600X at 1080p with the High graphics preset. We’ve tested a lot of UE
‘This is how AI should be used’ — OpenAI head of hardware breaks down the AI-assisted design of its Jalapeño ASIC (opens the original)
Read excerpt
OpenAI’s Jalapeño ASIC is a seismic shift for the industry, not because of its efficiency or performance, but because of how it was designed. The company was clear from the jump that AI played a big role in the design process of Jalapeño, not only for the hardware itself, but also in the co-design with OpenAI’s software stack, allowing the ASIC to go from initial register-transfer level (RTL) to tapeout in a matter of just nine months. From concept to reveal, the timeline was less than two years
Intel patent outlines embedding MicroLEDs directly into CPU package to light up wording or work as an 'extra aesthetic component' — MicroLED is embedded with die in glass substrate (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Intel has published a patent to integrate MicroLEDs directly into a CPU package. Aside from communication functions, Intel lists many possible uses, including using multi-colored lights to light up the wording on a processor. The patent, filed in 2022 but only published earlier this month, describes embedding a MicroLED into the package by using a glass substrate and through-glass vias (TGV), connecting directly to a die for power and signal routing. The patent says the purpose of the LEDs is "e
AMD shares first official benchmarks for EPYC 'Venice' CPUs, targets Nvidia — company claims 256-core chip is more than twice as fast as Nvidia Vera, 96-core model 20% faster per-core (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Following the launch of AMD's EPYC 'Venice' CPUs in July, AMD extended the performance claims for its upcoming generation of server chips on Friday. The high-level claim hasn't changed. AMD still says a 96-core, high-frequency Venice chip is around 20% faster than Nvidia's 88-core Vera in SPEC CPU 2026's Integer Rate test. However, the company went into far greater detail about the benchmarks in a new white paper. There are several configuration differences depending on the benchmark throughout
Details about Intel's next-gen Nova Lake CPUs keep leaking — an attempt to establish a timeline based on what we know so far (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Intel's Nova Lake CPUs are no stranger to leaks. We've been talking about the processors for close to two years now, with rumors swirling about bLLC and a 52-core flagship for well over a year. However, this week (and this month more broadly), we've seen leaks hit a fever pitch, suggesting that Intel is finally gearing up to release a generation of processors that's been the zeitgeist for over 24 months. Intel hasn't shied away from discussing Nova Lake, with Intel's enthusiast channel VP Robert
