Elite Dragonfly G2

HP Elite Dragonfly will have Qualcomm 5G and Tile integration

CES 2020: HP’s Elite Dragonfly to Get 10th Gen Intel Core, Tile Tag, & 5G Modem

HP Elite Dragonfly has just been launched, but the company is already preparing the second-generation laptop. The Elite Dragonfly G2 includes Intel’s 10th-generation Comet Lake vPro processors, but won’t be released before the summer, Neowin reports.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

The existing model will have new features and will have eight-core CPUs. The innovation will be support for 5G through the Qualcomm Snapdragon X55 modem. This is especially interesting, given that Intel’s 5G processors were not expected before 2021 (and they should have a Mediatek modem). However, it looks like Qualcomm is ready to implement the solution earlier.

Another novelty brought by the Elite Dragonfly G2 is the integration of Tile. Tile is integrated into your laptop, making it easier to find your device, receive notifications if you leave your PC elsewhere.

Elite Dragonfly will also have Sure View enhancements, while questioning HP‘s screen privacy technology. This will prevent others from looking over the user’s shoulder to see what he is seeing or working on. The new technology is called Sure View Reflect and will work better in different types of lighting.

Tile integration will be available on the Elite Dragonfly G2 from February, with 5G support coming over the summer.

Radeon RX 5600 XT

AMD launched Radeon RX 5600 XT GPU for players who want 90fps at 1080p

GeForce GTX 1660 Ti has met its rival

At CES 2020 AMD didn’t present a card that everyone expected. Rather the company chose the Radeon RX 5600 XT graphics card with a kill 1080p performance of 90 to 120fps.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

The card sits between the Radeon 5500 XT focused on 60fps 1080p performance and the Radeon 5700 XT at 1440p performance. Specifically AMD positions the 5600 XT graphics card as the ideal update for someone who has a Nvidia GTX 1060 graphics card debuted a few years ago but today finds it difficult to maintain 60fps in the latest titles.

For comparison in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the GTX 1060 stands at 57fps while the Radeon 5600XT at 92fps. The same goes for games like The Division 2, Gears of War 5 and The Witcher 3.

5600 XT has 36 graphics cores as much as the 5700 XT but has a lower frequency between 1,375Mhz and 1,560Mhz. It also only has 6GB of GDDR6 memory instead of the 8GB of RAM that has 5700 XT.

The graphics card will retail for $279 when it debuts on January 21st making it a direct competitor to the Nvidia GTX 1660 Ti

AMD 3990X Threadripper CPU

AMD’s 3990X Threadripper ‘Monster’ Processor is coming and Intel has not an answer

AMD’s 64-core Threadripper 3990X arrives in 2020 and costs $3,990

When AMD said that the 64-core Threadripper 3990X processor would be available in 2020, the company did not intend to let enthusiasts wait.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

The processor which costs $3,990 will go on sale from February 7th. It is intended for computers and jobs where more cores means saving time and money.

The company says that 3990X is the fastest processor in the world and uses the results of the Cinebench R20 as evidence. It’s several times faster than the Core i9-9900KS according to AMD testing.

But the truth is more complicated than that. While there is no dizzying frequency limited to just 2.9Ghz base and 4.3Ghz turbo, the Threadripper will be a champion due to the high number of cores.

And if an app can’t use all those cores, most likely the 3990X will lag behind. However, this suggests that Intel is suffering from AMD’s pace in very important segments such as workstation performance. That’s because Intel fails to properly produce denser 14-nanometer processors, and Threadripper is a more affordable option compared to Xeon for some professionals.

AMD Ryzen 4000 CPUs

Intel has no chance against the new AMD’s 7nm Ryzen 4000-series CPUs for laptops

The first wave of laptops with Ryzen 4000 processors will be released in the first quarter of 2020 with AMD promising to integrate more than 100 systems in 2020.

In recent years AMD has been making a fuss with the PC market especially in the a.k.a workstations PC segment.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

But in laptops it is still far off especially with the powerful and super portable systems where Intel dominates. This year the company wants to change that with the Ryzen 4000, a line of processors that combines the Zen 2 Core with the 7-nanometer architecture.

The result is probably one of the most intriguing processors we’ve ever seen. The more powerful Ryzen 7 4800U, an eight-core and 16-threads processor can be easily integrated into a super portable laptop.

On the other hand is Intel with the Core i7-10710U processor which has only six cores. AMD’s 4800U model has a frequency of between 1.8 GHz base and 4.8 GHz turbo as well as eight Radeon graphics cores.

It’s 90% faster than Intel’s Core i7-1065G7 chip in Cinebench testing and 28% faster in 3Dmark TimeSpy.

You might say this comparison is not valid because the Comet Lake six-core chip is more powerful than the four-core one. But the six-core model is old with slower integrated graphics and has no chance against the Radeon graphics cores.

Not surprisingly, AMD says the 4800U overshadows the Core i7-1065G7 in terms of gaming. In the Rocket League AMD processor has 30fps more at 1080p resolution. Intel has taken steps forward with Iris graphics but can’t compare to AMD Radeon.

Even if we don’t go with the best of AMD, you also get eight cores with 4700U but no hyperthreading. For more performance AMD introduced the Ryzen 4000H in 45W profile. This chip will appear on gaming laptops like the Dell G5 15, Asus Zephyrus G14.

AMD claims the 4800H is 39% faster than the Core i7-9750H. It even overtakes the Core i7-9700K desktop chip.

ROG Swift 360

Nvidia unveils its first 360Hz 1080p G-Sync monitor: ROG Swift 360

The first 360Hz monitor was unveiled during CES

Nvidia unveiled yesterday the world’s fastest gaming and esports monitor, the ASUS ROG Swift 360Hz. This monitor is 24.5 inches in size and supports a resolution of 1080p to 360Hz, exceeding the current standard of 240Hz.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

The monitor uses Nvidia’s G-Sync technology to deliver the best PC experience, which means players must have the best Nvidia GPUs to use it to its full potential. It’s not clear how this monitor works with AMD GPUs, so they’ll have to wait a bit longer for more information. Meanwhile, GeForce RTX users can immediately use the advanced features of this monitor.

Along with the monitor and trailer above, Nvidia also released statistics from their research last year. The company found that flick shots in Overwatch improved by 37% from a 360Hz monitor to 60Hz, beating 240Hz by 4%.

Some of the games that support this monitor are Rainbow Six: Siege, Fortnite, Overwatch and CS: GO. To show players the possibilities offered by a 360Hz monitor, Nvidia created a test in CS: GO where players have to eliminate as many opponents in 45 seconds, constantly rotating to find opponents. The company plans to bring a demo this week to CES, where the ROG Swift 360Hz will debut.

Nvidia has not yet released details on the launch date and pricing of the monitor, but it is rumored that it will come in 2020. ASUS monitor will certainly not be for the faint-hearted, seeing similar monitors 24 inch 240Hz go for around $400- $500, but for competitive players this is definitely a worthwhile investment.

Legion Y740S Lenovo’s laptop needs external accessories to deliver its maximum

Lenovo launched the year 2020 with a gaming laptop that needs extra accessories to shine. Legion Y740S is a 15.6-inch laptop which is accompanied by an external graphics card that the company calls Legion BoostStation.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

The computer has enough power of the Core i9, 32GB of RAM and 1TB SSD but without an external graphics card, it only stays with Intel integrated graphics that are incapable of playing modern 3D games.

The laptop can be configured with standard 1080p or 4K HDR display. Battery life is impressive at 8 hours. Connectivity consists of two Thunderbolt 3 ports and USB 3.1 Gen2 ports.

External graphics card called Legion BoostStation by Lenovo

But BoostStation? The accessory can be powered by graphics cards from the GeForce GTX 1660 to the RTX 2080 Super and even a Radeon RX 5700 XT for those who prefer AMD graphics cards. BoostStation has two USB 3.1 ports, one USB 2.0 port, HDMI and Ethernet.

The Y740S and BoostStation arrives in May. The laptop starts at $1,100 and while only BoostStation costs $250.

Odyssey G9 Gaming Monitor

Samsung New 49-Inch QLED Curved Odyssey G9 Gaming Monitor Unveiled

At Electronic Consumer Show (CES), Samsung is presenting an extremely curved monitor. The 32: 9, 49-inch QLED has a resolution of 5120×1440 pixels and a refresh rate of 240Hz.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

The screen is HDR1000 certified. It supports AMD’s FreeSync2 and is also compatible with Nvidia G-Sync.

Extreme curved, as Verge tells it, conveys an all-inclusive experience “where the screen feels like it’s on all sides.” There’s a big blue light on the back, which makes the screen appear like a science fiction movie.

Along with the Odyssey G9, Samsung also announced the smaller Odyssey G7 monitors. They should be available in 32- and 27-inch versions in 16: 9 format and 2560×1440 pixels resolution.

The refresh rate is also 240Hz, but the brightness is lower at HDR600 unlike Odyssey G9. Like the larger model, Odyssey G7 comes with a radius of 1000. Prices for these screens range from 1200 Euro and above.
