Hi everyone, this is Bemnet’s Weekly Tech Blogs and today we will be talking about what is better: AMD’s Ryzen 9 3900x 3rd Gen processor, or Intel’s Core I9 i9900k 9th Gen .
The first thing we look at when comparing these two processors is core count. In this case AMD takes the lead with their 12-core processor compared to Intel’s 8-core processor. This also includes the amount of threads which AMD also wins by 24 threads compared to 16. This makes the AMD processor better for workstations
However, Intel’s processor is better for gaming even though its base clock is worse than AMD’s, AMD has 3.8 GHz base clock and Intel has a 3.6 GHz base clock. The reason it is better for gaming is its boost clock which Intel can go up to 5.0 GHz boost clock and AMD has 4.6 GHz boost clock.
Overall, depending on your uses these processors will do the job. AMD’s processor is better for workstation use, however Intel’s processor is better for gaming. Have a good day and I hope you enjoyed my very first blog
Welcome back people!! Today I will be explaining how each component works in a PC. This post is mainly for people who don’t know how a PC works. However, if you already know how each PC works, feel free to read for your entertainment.
So first we are gonna start with the motherboard, the motherboard connects all the other hardware components and allows the communication between each component such as the CPU, RAM, GPU, PSU, and other things such as SSD.
So now we are moving on to the CPU, which is practically the brains of the computer. The CPU can perform calculations, actions, and it can also run different programs. For example, a single core processor can only run a single set of commands or tasks, however, an eight core processor can run eight sets of commands. Same thing applies for a 64 core processor. The procedure that the CPU uses to run programs and tasks is it first “fetches” instructions from the RAM and stores the instructions, then the CPU “decodes” the instruction into signals for the other parts of the CPU, in the final step, the decoded instructions are sent to the relevant parts of the CPU to be “executed”.
Moving on to the RAM, the RAM is basically the system’s short term memory or “memory” since the things stored in RAM could be “forgotten” since as soon as you turn off the PC the information is erased. The RAM is also incredibly fast and communicates with the CPU easily. The GPU also has its own dedicated RAM to perform tasks. The type of RAM used in the GPU is mostly something like GDDR6 memory and the RAM used for the rest of the system is usually DDR4. The benefit to RAM is that it is hardwired into the system meaning there is latency or delay due to cabling and the connection, meaning it helps it run faster and communicate with the rest of the system.
Now we are at storage, there two things you need to know about, there are two types of storage in PCs which are HDD (Hard Disk Drive) and SSD (Solid State Drive). Unlike hard drives, SSDs do not have any moving parts ( which is why they are called Solid State Drives). Instead of storing data on magnetic platters, SSDs store data using flash memory which helps go way faster. Unlike RAM, storage is long-term meaning what whatever is stored there pretty much stays there until you delete it.
Like a motherboard, a graphics card is a printed circuit board that houses a processor and RAM. It also has an input/output system (BIOS) chip, which stores the card’s settings and performs diagnostics on the memory, input and output at startup. A graphics card’s processor, called a Graphics Card (GPU), is similar to a computer’s CPU. A GPU, however, is designed specifically for performing the complex mathematical and geometric calculations that are necessary for graphics rendering. Some of the fastest GPUs have more transistors than the average CPU. A GPU produces a lot of heat, so it is usually located under a heat sink or a fan.

The Titan RTX launch was decidedly unceremonious. Members of the tech press knew that the card was coming but didn’t receive one to test. Nvidia undoubtedly knew its message would be obscured by comparisons drawn between Titan RTX and the other TU102-based card, GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, in games. Based on a complete TU102 processor, As it appears in the 2080 Ti, though, TU102 features 68 active Streaming Multiprocessors. Four of the chip’s 72 are turned off. One of its 32-bit memory controllers is also disabled, taking eight ROPs and 512KB of L2 cache with it. Titan RTX is based on the same processor, but with every block active. That means the card boasts a GPU with 72 SMs, 4,608 CUDA cores, 576 Tensor cores, 72 RT cores, 288 texture units, and 36 PolyMorph engines. Not only does Titan RTX sport more CUDA cores than GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, it also offers a higher GPU Boost clock rating (1,770 MHz vs. 1,635 MHz). As such, its peak single-precision rate increases to 16.3 TFLOPS. Each SM does contain a pair of FP64-capable CUDA cores as well, yielding a double-precision rate that’s 1/32 of TU102’s FP32 performance, or 0.51 TFLOPS. This is one area where Titan RTX loses big to its predecessor. Titan V’s GV100 processor is better in the HPC space thanks to 6.9 TFLOPS peak FP64 performance (half of its single-precision rate). A quick run through SiSoftware’s Sandra GPGPU Arithmetic benchmark confirms Titan V’s strength, along with the mixed-precision support inherent to Turing and Volta, which Pascal lacks. The GPU’s GPCs are fed by 12 32-bit GDDR6 memory controllers, each attached to an eight-ROP cluster and 512KB of L2 cache yielding an aggregate 384-bit memory bus, 96 ROPs, and a 6MB L2 cache. At the same 14 Gb/s data rate, one extra memory emplacement buys Titan RTX about 9% more memory bandwidth than GeForce RTX 2080 Ti.Whereas GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition utilizes Micron’s MT61K256M32JE-14:A modules, the company doesn’t have any 16Gb ICs in its parts catalog. Samsung, on the other hand, does offer a higher-density K4ZAF325BM-HC14 module with a 14 Gb/s data rate. Twelve of them give Titan RTX its 24GB capacity and 672 GB/s peak throughput. Lots of extra memory, a GPU with more active resources, and faster clock rates necessitate a higher thermal design power rating. Whereas GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition is specified at 260W, Titan RTX is a 280W card. That 20W increase is no problem at all for the pair of eight-pin auxiliary power connectors found along the top edge, nor is a challenge for Nvidia’s power supply and thermal solution, both of which appear identical to its GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. The uP9512 supports Nvidia’s Open Voltage Regulator Type 4i+ technology with PWMVID. This input is buffered and filtered to produce a very accurate reference voltage. The output voltage is then precisely controlled to the reference input. An integrated SMBus interface offers enough flexibility to optimize performance and efficiency, while also facilitating communication with the appropriate software. All 13 voltage regulation circuits are equipped with an ON Semiconductor FDMF3170 Smart Power Stage module with integrated PowerTrench MOSFETs and driver ICs.
This is the first part of a new series I came up with which is called WEIRD TECH!!!, I will post a new edition every single Wednesday.
In this edition we have a USB in which you plug into your computer and it then gathers electricity from the computer and it starts to go in a real foul movement.
It is also for sale in Amazon, and if you are interested then you can buy it ( for some weird reason.)
As for the rest of the traditional “phone stuff” like speed, battery life, and so on, the Z Flip really is refreshingly normal. Performance is great, thanks to a Snapdragon 855 Plus processor and 8GB of RAM. It’s not top-tier for Android, but it’s last year’s flagship specs, and that’s plenty.
The 256GB of storage isn’t expandable, and there’s no headphone jack, but that’s pretty normal for phones today, too.Software-wise, the Z Flip runs Samsung’s One UI customizations on top of Android 10. Samsung is emphasizing One UI’s split-screen abilities by placing a slide-over widget that makes it easier to open a second app. That’s nice, but I prefer the more traditional edge screen function that’s available on other Galaxy phones.
The Samsung Galaxy Fold is the most forward-thinking smartphone of 2019, finally delivering on the promise of a foldable phone, and instantly proving a real head-turner out on the streets. And yet, it’s still not something we can recommend to most people. Wherever we went with the Fold, people wanted to know what this thing was and how it worked. We demonstrated how it folds down to a 4.6-inch outer screen, and folds out out to become a 7.3-inch mini-tablet display – and it always amazed. But then the second wow-factor kicks: it’s twice the price of today’s best smartphones, and on top of that it has a troubled track record with regard to durability, which could prove a deal-breaker for many potential buyers.
The Raspberry Pi line of single-board computers has been enormously popular, thanks to its super affordable price, compact size and maker-friendly design. The latest version, the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B ($55 as tested), is the most powerful yet, getting a major increase in processing power, enhanced video output and peripheral connectivity, while maintaining the same low price and tiny size offered on past models. The new Pi 4 gets exciting features, like USB 3.0 ports, power over USB Type-C and Ethernet, and video output that will handle two 4K monitors at a time. Plus, you still get all the unique connectivity and expansion of the Pi’s GPIO pins and compatibility with past add-ons and accessories. But all those changes do come with some new inconveniences. Because of the tweaks made to the Pi 4, the software used on older models is not directly compatible, and the updated port selection means that older case designs won’t work with the new model.
The Ultra is designed for early adopters, and three things stand out: it has a massive 6.9-inch display with next-gen fluid-scrolling tech that will stretch your hand; five cameras to capture 108MP photos, 40MP selfies and 8K video, and 5G antennas with peak speeds 66 times as fast as 4G LTE. The 48MP telephoto lens helps to get up close and personal with far away subjects thanks to an impressive variety of zoom lenses. It far surpasses the 2x optical and 10x digital zoom of previous Samsung phones.The S20 Ultra has a monster spec list: 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 128GB or 512GB of internal storage kick things off. There’s also a huge 5,000mAh battery for pulling down battery-intensive 5G signal, although we found it could only last more than 24 hours in 4G mode.There is a return of the in-screen fingerprint sensor from last year’s phones, but it sadly is the first S phone without a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Though it costs almost twice as much as the graphics card its replacing, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti does deliver some breathtaking specs with 11GB of GDDR6 VRAM, 4,352 CUDA cores and a boost clock of 1,635MHz. It’s all thanks to Nvidia’s first ever self-implemented 90MHz factory overclock. Comparatively, the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti sports 11GB of last-generation GDDR5X VRAM, 3,584 CUDA cores and a 1,582MHz maximum frequency. This GPU also features two additional types of cores its predecessors never had, in the form of RT and Tensor cores. The RTX 2080’s Ti’s 68 RT Cores power ray tracing, which allows this graphics card to render much more complex, real-time lighting scenarios and natural shadows than the 1080 Ti ever could.In the meantime, 544 Tensor Cores bring artificial intelligence (AI) into the mix, which Nvidia hopes to use for more efficient anti-aliasing. According to Nvidia, Turing is eight times faster at processing anti-aliasing than Pascal via machine learning. Additionally, Tensor Cores drive a new technology called Deep Learning Super Sampling, which can increase resolution while applying anti-aliasing at the same time.
As Intel’s first-ever mainstream Core i9 chip, the Intel Core i9-9900K comes equipped with eight-cores, 16-threads and the ability to boost up to a maximum 5.0GHz clock speed. All told, this new octa-core processor not only closes the gap with AMD’s best processor, but runs past it.Unfortunately, in our testing, it doesn’t prove to be quite the world’s best gaming processor that Intel touted it to be, at least not with the drivers currently out there. We’ll be continuing our testing with the Intel Core i9-9900K, but until then this CPU may better serve content creators than gamers looking to squeeze more frames per second into the PCs.
