Annual"Digital Spring Festival Gala".CES (the world's largest consumer electronics show) will officially open in Las Vegas tomorrow.
This year, our bad review team also sent a three-person team to hit the scene in Las Vegas
But please don't worry, we'll bring you a more detailed first-hand report when the CES show officially opens tomorrow.
Although the exhibition has not officially kicked off, many large manufacturers have taken the lead in revealing the products to be released at CES.
Among them, the most concerned is the chip manufacturer "Royal Three".Nvidia, AMD, Intel.
They put them in the early hours of this morning Beijing timeNew Super Series graphics, new APUs, new 14th Gen Mobile Core processors, and brought them up separately.
On the surface, it seems that the three families are harmonious and make money, but in fact, there is already a little bit of secret competition.
Let's take a look at them one by one.
> NVIDIA: The matter of buying an n card is in Lao Huang's calculation all the time?
The first highlight is Nvidia's new releasertx 4080 super、rtx 4070ti super、rtx 4070 superThree graphics cards.
Although Lao Huang did not show his face in this release, I have to say that he is now interested in his own graphics card products**, performanceis getting more and more perfect.
The three 40 series super cards launched this time further subdivide the original graphics card product line, and can be regarded as a precursor to the upcoming 50 series this year.
It is no exaggeration to say that every knife of Super has cut into the hearts of consumers.
Let's do a simple conversion:
The 4070 super is a 21% performance improvement over the 40707%, priced at $599, ** the same as 4070;
The 4070ti super offers a 10% performance improvement over the 4070ti and costs $799, which is the same as the 4070ti.
The 4080 super is a 5% performance improvement over the 40803% for $999, **$200 cheaper than the 4080 launch price.
The detailed parameters and ** comparison are as follows
The overall performance of the Super series has improved a lotNumber of CUDA cores, frequency, memory bandwidthThese parameters all belong to shotgun replacement,**It didn't go up,The release of 4080 super**even upside down 4080。。。
Could it be that Lao Huang's wave was discovered by conscience?
Originally, Tony thought so, but after thinking about it carefully, there was still a bit of a doorway in it.
I don't know if you still remember, when the previous 40 series of TI and 80 graphics cards were first released, the performance improvement was not as big as the 20 series upgraded to the 30 series, but it was a lot more expensive.
When the 4070ti was released, Geek Bay bluntly said it was a lump...
At that time, many people felt that Lao Huang ordered it like this in order to clear the inventory of the 30 series.
Now a year has passed,The emergence of super,It's true to make up for the previous conscience.,But in fact, when choosing what graphics card to buy,,It will make people more entangled。。。
If Tony originally planned to buy the 4070ti, this wave must have gone to the 4070ti super card, not only upgraded the core number, but also upgraded the video memory, how to look at it.
In terms of frame rate, it is far ahead of the previous two generations of the 70 series!
However, the current market and the release are not the same thing.
As you can see from the graphics card positioning given by NVIDIA, the 4070ti super corresponds to only"Play at 2K at high frame rates".If you want to experience the full resolution and frame rate, you have to get a better card.
Indeed, the performance of the 4070Ti Super is capable of running most games that require less performance at a 4K resolution.
But I've spent so much money, do you want to add some more money and buy a 4080 that has already dropped a wave of price? Running the game frame rate up a little further?
At present, the recommended price of the 4070ti super officially given by Nvidia is 6499 yuan.
If the ** of the non-public card is a little more expensive, then againAdd a $1000 or soYou can receive oneWith 1280 more cores, a drop higher base clock and maximum frequency, and a higher frame rate, the game frame rate will be higherThe RTX 4080...
I really don't know how to choose Tony's choice, although the parameters are not much different, but the difference of 1000 yuan is there, which is quite tangled.
Of course, if the 4070ti super falls just after its release, you don't think I'm going to say it.
> AMD: Our goal is! Become a good companion in the game!
Compared with Lao Huang's mystery and didn't show up, AMD's Su Ma still appeared at the beginning of ** and introduced AMD's recent cooperation with various large companies in the field of AI.
However, mentioning AI is not the focus of AMD this time, it is like a fixed formula, and it is a little strange that chip manufacturers have not mentioned it in the past two years.
The focus of AMD this time is,They finally gave yes their layout on the game hardware platform!
First of all, they emphasized that AMD has been the chip partner of the two major consoles, PS5 and Xbox Series X & S.
In addition, the last two years have been in the brand new PC handheld space, AMD andV Company, Asus, LenovoThere is also in-depth cooperation.
Essentially, this is the AMD processor on the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, and Lenovo's legion go.
It should be said that AMD's current advantage in the field of PC handheld computers is far behind Intel and Nvidia.
While PC handhelds are still geared towards niche gamers, combined with the advantages of console platforms, AMD does occupy half of the gaming hardware platform in a sense.
In AMD's own words, they have created a new category of their own on handheld PC 3A gaming devices.
Then, AMD launched its first blockbuster for the consumer side – something that had been in the thick of the morning for a long timeRyzen 8000G Series high-performance APUs.
In fact, this APU is actually the desktop version of the previous Ryzen 8040 mobile series processors.
In addition to opening up to 54W of TDP (Thermal Design Power Consumption) to 65W, the 8700G and 8600G in the 8000G series are also equipped with two powerful GPUs, 780M and 760M.
As a traditional strength, AMD's APU has always been in terms of graphics performance, and it is not a problem to fight the low-end independent graphics card of the same era.
But to be honest, the cost of buying a computer to buy a discrete graphics card is indeed not as high as before, and the APU may be more suitable for friends who like to live ITX small chassis to start.
Interestingly, AMD's release of 8000G was accompanied by the developers of Cyberpunk 2077 CD Projekt Red.
They briefly talked about using the 8000G series of APUs, which can play 2077 in HD even without a discrete GPU.
But as for what players are most concerned about, when will 2077 officially support FSR 3, I really haven't heard them mention a word, and at present, you still have to play mods to open it, and there are bugs.
Bad reviews about this mod recently by the hardware department.
On the other hand, compared to Nvidia, which only upgraded the video memory of the 4070Ti Super, AMD understands the needs of gamers very well, and has launched a 16G large video memory version of the RX 7600XT, with an official price of 329 dollars.
In comparison, the previous RX7600 video memory is only half of that of the RX 7600XT, and the price difference of $60 is still relatively conscientious.
There's one thing to say.,But if the fsr official adaptation of the game can be faster.,Tony really wants to return to the A card.。。。
> Intel: Bear with me, new toothpaste is coming soon.
Finally, let's talk about the toothpaste factory Intel.
What Intel brought to CES this time is the new Core 14th Gen HX and U series of mobile platform processors.
At this time, there may be a sharp-eyed friend who asks, eh? No, hasn't Intel already released the Ultra series of mobile processors before? What's going on with this HX and U series?
It's a bit complicated to say, but it's true that Intel is nowMobile processorsIn the product line, there are three forms of chips.
The first is the Ultra series of processors that previously used the new Meteor Lake architecture.
In addition to the upgrade of the architecture and the ability to better optimize the power consumption of the WIN notebook, its biggest feature is that it has the ability to provide a variety of AI functions to the notebook, bringing a new selling point of AI PC to the notebook product. (Tony has introduced the Meteor Lake architecture in detail before, poke me to read the article!) ）
The HX and U series released this time, the HX is a high-performance gaming laptop processor in the past, and the U-series is a low-voltage processor corresponding to low-power thin and light laptops, both of which use the older generation of Raptor Lake architecture.
Among them, the i9-14900HX, the highest specification of the HX series, is still a little squeezed toothpaste with the previous generation i9-13900 HX, and the highest turbo frequency has been increased from 5 in the 13th generation4GHz, upgraded to 58ghz。
The overall performance level of the U-series chips is close to that of the Ultra series, but because of the latter's new architecture and AI blessing, in terms of specific product pricing, Ultra series processor notebooks are bound to be more expensive.
In the past, domestic mobile phone manufacturers liked to play the tactics of the sea of machines, but now the operation of the toothpaste factory is quite some"Core".The meaning of the sea tactics.
Intel also revealed plans for two new generations of architectures, Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake, which will be released this year.
The Arrow Lake architecture will be a game processor architecture with its own AI accelerator, while the Lunar Lake architecture will be stuffed with an NPU chip that is 3 times faster.
As for the processors equipped with these two architectures, what processors will be used, Intel has not yet disclosed.
What is certain is that Lunar Lake will make further improvements in the long battery life of Win notebooks.
However, Tony thinks that the problem of the battery life of the win notebook may have to be stepped in by Microsoft and use his brains in the scheduling of the Windows system.
You see, when the Mac was still using Intel chips before, the battery life seemed to be the top?
In general, not only Intel's new architecture has fallen into the torrent of AI, but Nvidia and AMD have also increased their proportion of AI content in this CES compared to previous years.
Perhaps in the near future, the new concept of AI PCs will evolve into a new way of using computers.
