Traditionally, the brand attracts PC gamers but it’s gradually expanding to console gamers as well, offering a new display that supports gaming on the new PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X with optimized graphics. Prendergast said that since Acer spun off its own factories more than 20 years ago, it can nimbly choose what factory to work with, giving it more flexibility during the pandemic.Īcer has a significant business in education, providing Chromebooks to students, and in gaming laptops and displays. ![]() “Our factories are mainly all in China… they were a little spotty in calendar Q2 but they’ve been pretty operational ever since June.” “Because Taiwan’s been almost not affected really, and that’s our world headquarters, all the product development has been going very smoothly,” said Acer Pan America president Gregg Prendergast. Hardware companies Acer, Asus, Lenovo and others unveiled their latest computers and connected displays that put the new chips to use.Īcer said that it’s benefited from Taiwan being a coronavirus haven. Nvidia said its new graphics card - the $329 GeForce RTX 3060 - will be released in February. On Tuesday, AMD announced a lineup of new mobile processors for laptops from Asus, HP, Lenovo and other manufacturers. And at the center of all this technology is high performance computing.” “The pandemic has elevated technology to become an essential part of how we live, work, play and communicate. “Our relationship with technology has fundamentally changed,” said AMD CEO Lisa Su during a keynote speech on Tuesday. But one category was still on fire with new product announcements: Computers.Ĭhipmakers Intel, AMD and Nvidia took to the virtual stage at this week’s trade show to reveal their new processors that promise to make graphics look better, load faster and improve computer performance. AMD promises that the Ryzen HX 5000-series laptops will be able to handle 4K gaming with ease while delivering leading performance in single-threaded as well as multi-threaded workloads.In a most unusual time, CES was diminished this year, with lots of companies including Google and Amazon not having a substantial presence and presenters mourning the lack of face-to-face contact. AMD continued to take on Intel by comparing their offerings with the ones Intel launched at its CES keynote.Ĭomparing the HX series processor to the Intel Core i9-10980HK, AMD claims to provide 13 percent better scores in Cinebench R20’s single-threaded test, and up to 35 percent better performance in Passmark’s CPU test. The Ryzen 9 5900HX has 8 cores and 16 threads with 20MB of L2+元 cache, and a 45W TDP. AMD also introduced the Ryzen 5900HX which has identical specifications as the 5980HX but comes unlocked, allowing it to be overclocked. The processor has 16 threads with a clock speed of 3.0Ghz, maxing out at 4.8Ghz. This may allow more manufacturers to sell devices at lower prices even though the chip being the latest one.Ĭoming to the H series gaming processors, this series will be highlighted by the top-of-the-line Ryzen 9 5980HX octa-core processor. Out of the total 5 U-series Ryzen 5000 CPUs that have been announced, some models will continue to be based on the ‘Zen 2’ architecture, including the base quad-core Ryzen 3 5300U and the Ryzen 7 5700U. The company claims a whopping 17.5 hours of continuous usage along with 21 hours of continuous video playback. With a speed boost, the clock speeds will bump up and can go till 4.4Ghz.Īs per AMD, it can clearly beat the equivalent Intel Core i7-1165G7 chip by delivering up to 18 percent better performance in PCMark 10, and up to 44 percent faster media encoding in Adobe Premiere as well as up to 39 percent faster performance in Blender 3D. The U-Series chipsets are spearheaded by the Ryzen 7 5800U that operates at a clock speed of 1.9Ghz. ![]() The 7nm range of processors are based on AMD’s Zen 3 Architecture matched up with Vega compute units. The two new series includes H-series processors aimed for gaming notebooks and the U-series processors for portability. These new processors were described as ‘the most powerful PC processors ever built’ during the CES 2021 AMD keynote. AMD has taken off the wraps from its latest Ryzen 5000 series mobile processors that will be powering the gaming and ultraportable notebooks of 2021 from various manufacturers including Dell, Lenovo, Asus, etc. ![]()
