Intel’s upcoming Core i5-1350P CPU benchmark shows 6% uplift over predecessor
Core i5-1350P – Intel’s new 12-core CPU for ultralight laptops
A new SKU from Intel’s Core P-series with lower TDP has been put through Geekbench CPU test.
Intel’s new Core i5-1350P processor has just been tested with Geekbench software providing first performance figures on this new 12-core CPU for low-power laptops. This leak appears exactly a month after Core i7-1370P was featured in the same benchmark.
This CPU offers 12 cores and 16 threads, which means 4 Performance Cores combined with 8 Efficient cores. The same configuration was used for current-gen i5-1250P CPU. What has changed are the clocks, the base clock is now 1.9 GHz (+200 MHz) while the turbo clock reaches 4.7 GHz (+300 MHz).
The CPU has appeared alongside Acer TravelMate P614-53 laptop, which is a lightweight laptop for business. Intel’s P-series are very commonly used by such systems that can rely on integrated graphics only.

Since 12th Gen Core P-Series are not listed in the official Geekbench ranking, finding a reference point for comparison could be problematic. However, Notebookcheck have suitable data based on their own testing which shows that Core i5-1350P is 6% faster in single-core test and 2% faster in multicore compared to the predecessor (Core i5-1250P).

Galaxy S23 Ultra benchmark results hint at tremendous performance uplift
The Samsung Galaxy S23 family will allegedly be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip in all markets and a few days back, the standard Galaxy S23 appeared on Geekbench with an impressive score, and now, the Galaxy S23 Ultra has also been spotted on the benchmarking site.
Contrary to what some reports had suggested, Qualcomm’s next high-end chip will stick to a tri-cluster arrangement but that doesn’t mean that the rumors were totally false as the chip maker appears to have tweaked its approach.
Instead of going for one high-speed core, three middle cores, and four low-power cores, Qualcomm has opted for one high-power application core running at 3.36Ghz, four mid-range cores operating at 2.80GHz, and three small cores with speeds of 2.02Ghz.
This arrangement has apparently made a world of difference, at least as far as benchmark scores are confirmed, which don’t necessarily reflect day-to-day performance.
MySmartPrice saw the US-bound model of the Galaxy S23 Ultra with the model number SM-S918U on Geekbench. It got 1,521 points on the single-core test and a score of 4,689 on the multi-core test. For comparison, the S22 Ultra got 1,157 and 3,307 points on the same test.
Alleged Galaxy S23 Ultra benchmark results
Needless to say, performance appears to have gone up significantly and since this was probably a non-final version and there are more software optimizations to be done, the retail version should score even better.
The model that was tested had 8GB of RAM but Samsung will most likely sell a 12GB version too. The phone’s performance will presumably be further boosted by the new LPDDR5X DRAM tech that Samsung announced a few days back.
With great performance comes great concern about overheating, but since the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will probably be manufactured by TSMC and not Samsung, this shouldn’t be a problem.
The Galaxy S23 Ultra is sounding like a promising phone that will easily outshine the best phones of 2022. It’s expected to have an insane 200MP camera and a more refined design than the outgoing model. Its predecessor’s 6.8-inch display and 5,000mAh battery will be retained. Samsung is expected to announce the device early next year.
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 5990X CPU Overclocked To 4.82 GHz, Shatters 100,000 Points In Cinebench R23 & Achieves 80% Performance Uplift Versus Stock Chip
Extreme overclocker, SkatterBencher, has overclocked AMD’s unreleased Ryzen Threadripper 5990X HEDT CPU to an impressive 4.82 GHz across all 64 cores on a custom water-loop setup.
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 5990X CPU Overclocked To 4.82 GHz Across All 64 of Its Zen 3 Cores To Shatter 100,000 Points In Cinebench R23
The AMD Ryzen Threadripper CPU tested by SkatterBencher is the 5990X which isn’t a chip that the red team has officially released. In fact, it’s an engineering sample that the overclocker was able to acquire and features 64 cores, 128 threads, 288 MB of L3 cache, and clock speeds of up to 2.65 GHz at stock (2.27 GHz on average). The CPU was tested on the ASUS ROG ZENITH II Extreme Alpha with 32 GB (8 x 4) DDR4-2144 memory. For cooling, an EK-Quantum custom-loop water cooler was used.
This specific sample is labeled has the OPN code ‘100-000000443-40_Y’ which is similar to the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 5000 samples that show up in various benchmark databases. This confirms the fact that AMD did have standard Non-Pro chips as engineering samples but decided not to release them for unknown reasons. Based on AMD’s recent HEDT strategy, it looks like the company will be mostly focused on the workstation and Pro segment which means that the standard Threadripper X-Series chips will be missing in action for the foreseeable future. The other important thing is that the CPU works with the TRX40 ZENITH II Extreme whereas the Threadripper 5000WX CPUs are not meant to work on anything besides the WRX80 platform which is more expensive.
Now coming back to the benchmarks, SkatterBencher is known for using all sorts of overclocking strategies which include PBO, Curve Optimizers, and manual overclocking. The best results on the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 5990X CPU were achieved with manual overclocking which is not that big of a surprise. The only disadvantage is the limited maximum single-threaded boost frequency but the pros of manual overclocking outweigh the cons and are better compared to PBO when you are fishing for the highest performance gains. Each CCD was tested and out of the 8 CCDs on the Ryzen Threadripper 5990X chip, CCD4 delivered the best tuning results, achieving up to 4.82 GHz at 1.45V.
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 5990X 100K Cinebench R23 Record:
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 5990X OC vs Stock CPU:
In terms of performance, compared to the stock HEDT chip, the manually overclocked AMD Ryzen Threadripper 5990X CPU achieved over 50% gain in the AI Benchmark, a 58% gain in Cinebench R23, and over 80% performance uplift in 3DMark CPU Profile benchmark. The CPU also shattered the 100K (100,000) score barrier in Cinebench R23 Multi-threaded which is simply insane. During the Cinebench run, the chip maxed out at 4.525 GHz clock speeds and a CPU temperature of up to 95C. The CPU consumed an insane 691W package power with the manual overclock.
That’s not it, the overclocker also provides a guide to achieve 4.65 GHz within 5 minutes on the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 5990X CPU. Whether this will work in the same way with a 5995WX is something that remains to be seen until users can buy the chip in the DIY segment. There will be certain motherboards such as the MSI WS WRX80, the ASUS WRX80 PRO WS SAGE SE, ASRock WRX80 Creator, and the Gigabyte WRX80 SU8 which offer overclock support on Threadripper Pro CPUs. This is confirmed by Tomshardware after being contacted by an official AMD rep as quoted below:
[Editor’s Note: After publishing this story, an AMD representative contacted us via email, pointing out that the 5000 WX-series is actually unlocked for overclocking, contrary to the statements below. The company also provided a link to public documents about Threadripper 5000 WX that states, in part, ” Select WRX80 motherboards from our ODM partners will support both memory and CPU overclocking for users looking to push the limits of their workstation even further.”

AMD has confirmed that they aren’t done with Threadripper CPUs and will be releasing Zen 4 parts next year but whether they remain a Pro-only solution or come in DIY flavors for mainstream HEDT platforms remains to be seen.
AMD Ryzen 7000 desktop series to offer over 15% single-thread uplift, launch this fall
AMD introduces Ryzen 7000 series at Computex 2022
AMD confirms its Ryzen 7000 series are to launch this fall.
Unfortunately there are no SKUs names or a launch date for Ryzen 7000 series, but tomorrow AMD is introducing its next-gen mainstream desktop series alongside X670E, X670 and B650 motherboard at Computex.
AMD reaffirms its Ryzen 7000 series will support PCIe Gen5 standard as well as DDR5 memory technology. The LGA1718 socket will retain compatibility with AM4 coolers. Furthermore, the rumor about high-power TDP SKUs has been confirmed. The next-generation AM5 socket will support up to 170W, however, this is not mentioned for Ryzen 7000 specifically.

In terms of performance, AMD is claiming its Zen4 core architecture will offer over 15% single-thread uplift (sadly we do not have the footnotes explaining what is being compared here), 2X bigger (1MB) L2 cache per core and Max Boost over 5 GHz.
Furthermore, AMD has finally revealed what is under the new heatspreader. There are two 5 nm Zen4 core chiplets and one 6nm I/O. There is clearly no room for a third CCDs, but there is really no way to tell how will this design evolve in next generations.

AMD also confirms its Zen4 desktop CPU will feature integrated RDNA2 graphics. The new desktop Ryzen 7000 series are officially set to launch ‘this fall’, but this as far as the exact date goes.
‘The Bulge’ is back: USGS scientists detect renewed uplift near South Sister volcano
SISTERS, Ore. (KTVZ) — Some two decades after first drawing widespread attention, a small (but detectable by satellite) uplift near the South Sister volcano is making news once again, with a quicker rate of rising ground than seen for years, accompanied by some small but noticeable, shallow earthquakes. But an eruption, geologists assure, is not in the cards any time soon.
Here’s the U.S. Geological Survey’s news release, issued Monday, of the latest activity:
Using satellite imagery and sophisticated GPS instruments, Cascades Volcano Observatory geophysicists have detected a subtle increase in the rate of uplift of the ground surface about 3 miles (5 km) west of South Sister volcano, Oregon. Episodes of increased uplift have been observed in this area before, and the volcano’s alert level and color code remain at NORMAL / GREEN.
Data from satellite radar images show an uplift of about 0.9 inches or 2.2 cm (about the width of an adult’s thumb) occurred between the summer of 2020 and August 2021 across an area 12-mile (20-km) in diameter. GPS data from a volcano monitoring station near the center of uplift measured at least 0.2 inches (0.5 cm) of uplift since August 2021.
Additionally, seismologists observed brief bursts of small earthquakes in October 2021, December 2021, and January 2022. Most of these shallow earthquakes are too small to locate precisely; those located are inside the uplifted area.
Uplift occurred in the same general region in the mid-1990s. During the 25 years between 1995 and 2020, the area rose approximately 12 inches or 30 cm (the height of a 2-liter soda bottle) at its center. Although the current uplift rate is slower than the maximum rate measured in 1999-2000, it is distinctly faster than the rate observed for several years before 2020.
The uplift is attributed to small pulses of magma accumulating at roughly 4 miles (7 km) below the ground surface. While any magmatic intrusion could eventually lead to a volcanic eruption, an eruption would likely be preceded by detectable and more vigorous earthquakes, ground movement (deformation), and geochemical changes. In general, as magma moves upward during an intrusion, it causes continued or accelerated uplift, fractures rock to generate swarms of earthquakes, and releases significant amounts of volcanic gases, such as carbon dioxide. We do not detect any of these signs currently.
CVO scientists will closely monitor data in the coming months and issue further updates as warranted.

As City Reopens, Performers Try to Uplift New York’s State of Mind
As New York awakens from its slumber, it’s clear this isn’t just any morning. There’s Stephen Colbert, emerging onto a rooftop, and Peppermint, a drag queen, strolling on a bridge in glittering heels. On the Lower East Side, Sara Bareilles is sitting in a cafe, but she has something on her mind, so she’s not touching her lox bagel.
“Some folks like to get away,” she croons, “take a holiday from the neighborhood.”
That’s the opening line of Billy Joel’s 1976 song “New York State of Mind.”
Some of New York’s most recognizable entertainers follow Ms. Bareilles, as they take turns singing, dancing, playing instruments and — for the less musically inclined, like Andy Cohen — kissing a camera, in a music video that was released on Sunday in an effort to uplift the city as it recovers from the pandemic.
“New York State of Mind,” with its lyrics about the Hudson River, Greyhound buses and this newspaper, is a fixture in any situation in which New York spirit is required, and it has been invoked in hard times over the years, from the city’s fiscal crisis in the 1970s to the aftermath of 9/11.
As the city emerges this summer from one of the most difficult times in its history, the volunteer organization behind the video, NYCNext, hopes the cover will remind New Yorkers that the city never stopped thriving, said Tom Kitt, a Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning composer who helped produce the video.
“This was another moment where New York could really use a song that speaks to the romance and the resiliency and the beauty of New York,” Mr. Kitt said in an interview.
Mr. Joel granted the organization permission to use the song (“I’ve been told that he’s very supportive and excited,” Mr. Kitt said), and his daughter Alexa Ray Joel briefly appears in the video.
The performers in the video, which was directed by the documentary filmmaker Joshua Seftel, all have a connection to New York. All of them volunteered their time for the project, said Maryam Banikarim, a co-founder of NYCNext.
Suzanne Vega performs her solo inside Tom’s Restaurant, a Morningside Heights establishment she helped make famous with her 1982 track “Tom’s Diner.” Farther up Broadway, Peppermint and Brian Stokes Mitchell sing on the Columbia University campus.
Jerry Dixon, also of Broadway fame, and the comedian Mario Cantone sing in front of the fountain at Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn, while Idina Menzel bookends the video with her signature high notes inside a Times Square rehearsal studio.
The actress LaChanze belts a bridge on the roof of the Steinway & Sons factory in Queens, where the pianist Chloe Flower delivers a soaring arpeggio as the sun sets over the city.
Ms. Flower spent a year cooped up in her apartment during the pandemic, so she said she was thrilled about performing in the video. “To be a New Yorker and to be shooting that specific song, I thought I was going to cry during shooting,” Ms. Flower said in an interview. “It was so moving.”
Ms. Bareilles, who filmed her scenes at the Russ & Daughters Cafe, said in a statement that “to sing Billy Joel’s iconic song alongside my community members at a time when the city needs us all was so meaningful.”
