Sony Xperia Z1 Review
|
|
Enter the Xperia Z1. New Snapdragon 800 SoC. New 20.7-megapixel Exmor RS camera. New aluminium body. In many respects, this is what Sony was aiming for with the original Xperia Z: a solid set of features to lure any smartphone buyer. It may be out a little later than your Galaxy S4 or HTC One, but there's no doubting that the Z1 is a high-end handset to take Sony into 2014.

PCMark 7 PCMark Vantage World Records broken by ocaholic @ Ocaholic
|
|
During the yesterday Samsung B2B event, which took place in the Glattfelden Switzerland, Ocaholic.ch was able to break world records in PCMark 7 as well as the PCMark Vantage. Thanks to our SSD tree, which features no less than twelve Samsung SSD 840 Pro solid state drives, and connected to the system via Areca ARC-1882ix-24-4GB Raid controller, the former records were beaten with quite a margin."

Nvidia Tegra 4: the first benchmarks
|
|
We can be brief about the performance of the Tegra 4. It's a very powerful chip, and it stands head and shoulders above all of the other SoCs used in Android tablets. The Tegra 4 has a GPU that's actually as powerful as the one in the iPad, which is definitely an accomplishment.

PCMark 8 Review
|
|
As mentioned on the previous page, I ran into an issue when running PCMark 8. One of the Web Browsing tests repeatedly gets stuck whenever it is run for the second time during a benchmark. This prevents me from completing the standard benchmarks that use it, as they all run three passes to get consistent results. Futuremark is aware of the issue as it has been reported by multiple people running Windows 7. I am confident the developers will be able to find and fix it."

AMD A10-6800K and A10-6700 Richland APU Reviews @ Legit Reviews
|
|
Last week, Intel released 4th Generation Core Haswell processors and this week we have AMD releasing the company`s 3rd generation of APUs, known as Richland. AMD Richland APUs are said to bring 20-40 percent performance increases over the previous generation of AMD A-Series Trinity APUs, so AMD fans have been waiting months for this day to come. Read on to see how the AMD A10-6800K and A10-6700 perform!"

AMD A10-6800K and A10-6700 Review: Richland Finally Lands
|
|
AMD still has a nice lead in terms of graphics performance over Intel when it comes to desktop APUs. While Intel rules the CPU roost, the GPU is still the primary selling point for these products (that and the price). Intels latest Haswell parts for the desktop feature the GT2 graphics architecture, and do not include the GT3 and GT3e units. GT3 would give AMD a run for their money if it were included in desktop parts, and GT3E would eat AMDs lunch. This is the unfortunate truth for AMD when it comes to the mobile market. But for desktop, the GT2 graphics slice is just not good enough to even get close to the 6700 and 6800K in performance."

Frame Capture and Analysis Tools Review
|
|
A tremendous amount of data is created during the capture and analysis process including charts that plot out the 95th and 99th percentile frame rates as well as charts that show the observed FPS versus the FRAPS FPS. Below are some representations of the data presented showing that yes, even with the latest drivers AMD is struggling with some frame time issues that drive the FPS delivered down to a level below that reported by FRAPS. Looking at the Frame Time chart you can see that when run in a CrossfireX configuration the frame time data is all over the board whereas NVIDIA`s multi GPU solution delivers a consistent line across the chart. Slightly wider than the single GPU line but still much improved over the AMD configurations. Another look using the percentile chart illustrates this a little differently, showing that as the outliers are removed the FPS takes a downward swing. The results from one game do not tell the whole tale so looking at BF3 as well as Far Cry 3 provides a pair of results to illustrate the point with a little larger base of video cards."

News: Inside the second with Nvidias frame capture tools
|
|
Nvidia has released a suite of tools that allows us to precisely monitor a graphics card`s output to the display, providing new insight on the stuttering that can interrupt smooth gameplay. We`ve used this FCAT suite along with our usual latency-focused metrics to see what monitoring the final stage in the graphics pipeline can tell us about GPU performance in single- and multi-card configs."
