An extreme cooling modification that includes two desktop CPU coolers meant to tame Intel and AMD processors was used to take a Snapdragon chipset’s performance to the limit. It’s certainly one of the craziest experiments, but one that nets near-100 percent performance stability in demanding benchmarks like the 3DMark Wild Life Extreme Stress Test and Solar Bay Extreme Stress Test. The older Snapdragon 8 Elite matches or even beats the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, A19 Pro, and Dimensity 9500 thanks to the modification In a now-deleted post from Redditor “ntsow,” his ZTE Nubia Z70 Ultra with a previous-generation Snapdragon […]

Let's face it: the days of running FurMark for 30 minutes, watching nothing explode, and calling your GPU "stable" are long gone. Modern GPUs from NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel are smarter, more power-hungry, and far more dynamic in their clock-speed behavior than the older graphics cards we grew up overclocking. GPU synthetic/stress tests like FurMark, OCCT, and 3DMark absolutely still have their place, but treating any single tool as the holy grail of stability is a big mistake. Today's GPUs constantly juggle clocks, voltages, and temperatures on the fly. A GPU overclock (or undervolt) that flies through a traditional rasterized […]

Intel's Arc Pro GPU journey began with the first-generation Alchemist A-series products, and last year, the company introduced its Battlemage B-Series products. The first generation of products was aimed at the budget segment, offering good perf/$, and while the positioning continues with the Battlemage lineup, it looks like Intel is slightly moving towards a higher-end segment with its Arc Pro B60, B65, and B70 series. This move comes at a time when AI is the talk of the town, and local AI agents are becoming more and more popular. Also, Intel's recent workstation lineup, the Xeon 600 series, makes getting […]

ASUS has just broken three 3DMark World Records with its ROG Astral RTX 5090 GPU, breaking past 50K points in Port Royal. ASUS Secures Three World Records With Its OC-Ready ROG Astral RTX 5090 GPU You might have thought that ASUS would be breaking some world records with its ROG Matrix 5090 GPU, but the company has achieved three new world records in 3DMark, all using its second-best 5090 variant, the ROG Astral. We have seen the NVIDIA RTX 5090 breaking several world records. Most of the records are being set by variants such as MSI's Lighting, GALAX's HOF, and […]

The rise of beefy vapor chambers and liquid cooling solutions has enabled smartphone manufacturing companies like REDMAGIC to push the performance limits of chipsets like the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, which is why the latter can manage high framerates in AAA games, even when using emulation software. Now, what good is all that cooling if the chipset cannot run at full tilt, so REDMAGIC ignores all safety limits to allow the silicon to operate at its highest performance levels, regardless of temperatures. Unfortunately, 3DMark isn’t too fond of this practice and equates it to cheating, which is why the […]
