What is “RaptorLake-Refresh”? It is the “next-generation” (14th gen) Core architecture, refreshing the current “RaptorLake” (13th gen) and thus the 4th generation “hybrid” (aka “big.LITTLE”) arch that Intel has released. As before, it combines big/P(erformant) “Core” cores with LITTLE/E(fficient) “Atom” cores in a single package and covers everything from desktops, … Read more…
We are pleased to release R20 (version 31.117) update for Sandra 20/21 with further optimisations for hybrid (asymmetrical) L3 cache designs (i.e. AMD Ryzen 3D V-Cache 7950X-3D, 7900X-3D, etc.). Sandra 20/21 Press Release Please don’t forget to submit benchmark results to the Official SiSoftware Ranker! Many thanks for your continued … Read more…
What is “RaptorLake”? It is the “next-generation” (13th gen) Core architecture, replacing the current “AlderLake” (12th gen) and thus the 3rd generation “hybrid” (aka “big.LITTLE”) arch that Intel has released. As before it combines big/P(erformant) “Core” cores with LITTLE/E(fficient) “Atom” cores in a single package and covers everything from desktops, … Read more…

What are AVX, AVX512? AVX or “Advanced Vector eXtensions” is a family of SIMD instructions on x86/x64 that have expanded the old SSE/2 (Streaming SIMD Extensions) that themselves have extended/expanded the original SIMD x86 instruction set: MMX (Multi-Media eXtensions). AVX2 increases the width to 256-bit while AVX512 increases the width … Read more…

What is “AlderLake”? It is the “next-generation” (12th) Core architecture – replacing the short-lived “RocketLake” (RKL) that finally replaced the many, many “Skylake” (SKL) derivative architectures (6th-10th). It is the 1st mainstream “hybrid” arch – i.e. combining big/P(erformant) “Core” cores with LITTLE/E(fficient) “Atom” cores in a single package. While in … Read more…
