Keywords

💡GPU performance

The video discusses updates to graphics card drivers from Intel and AMD that provide significant performance increases. For example, Intel's latest Arc driver update delivers over 100% FPS gains in some games. This allows the GPUs to render games at higher frame rates and resolutions.

💡fluid motion frames

AMD's driver-level frame generation technology that boosts FPS by up to 97% in many games. It works by using machine learning to predict the next frame based on the current one. However, it adds a small amount of input lag.

💡Zen 5

The next generation Ryzen CPU microarchitecture from AMD, expected to launch in mid-2023. It will be produced on TSMC's 4nm process and promises double-digit IPC gains over Zen 4. This should make the Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs highly competitive against Intel's offerings.

💡hybrid cores

AMD's strategy of mixing high performance Zen 5 cores with more efficient Zen 5c cores in their upcoming APUs, starting with Strix Point. This heterogenous approach allows workloads to be optimally scheduled across different core types.

💡discrete GPU

A dedicated graphics card, as opposed to an integrated GPU built into the CPU/APU. High-end APUs like Fire Range could reduce demand for lower-end discrete GPUs, but will likely still be outpaced by modern video cards for gaming.

💡driver updates

Software that manages communication between hardware devices like GPUs and the operating system. Vendors like Intel and AMD periodically release updated drivers that can significantly boost hardware performance, as seen in this video.

💡IPC

Instructions per cycle - a metric that measures CPU architectural efficiency. If Zen 5 delivers a double digit IPC gain over Zen 4 as rumored, it would represent a major advance in performance at the same clock speeds.

💡frame generation

Technologies like fluid motion frames that synthesize new frames by interpolating between existing ones. This increases frame rates but adds a small amount of input lag due to the predictive nature.

💡nanometers

The manufacturing process node, referring to transistor density. Zen 5 will leverage TSMC's 4nm process to deliver performance improvements through increased density and efficiency vs. the 5nm node used for Zen 4.

Transcripts

today I've got some huge stories for you

and I have some really cool videos

coming soon that's actually why I'm not

doing a more normal Style video today

but I have some things to discuss

starting with Intel doing it again grab

your AMD GPU for massive free

performance AMD has some big plans and

ryzen 9000 is set to make Intel

cry welcome everyone to gamer

M first up for today Intel has done it

again in and this is not a negative

story it's actually a really positive

one something that I've honestly been

really surprised and impressed with when

it comes to Intel's gpus if you've been

following the channel and of course if

you aren't definitely make sure to

subscribe and hit that Bell icon to stay

up to dat on all the latest PC Hardware

news but if you are subscribed you know

that Intel has been releasing new

updates left and right it seems like

almost where they're giving their gpus

just massive performance increases and

of course don't get me wrong I hear you

oh oh 100% increase when it's only

getting 20 fps to begin with I get it I

do but remember that when Intel released

their AR gpus they released them with

prices for the performance that they

could do then so getting huge

performance jump after huge performance

jump from new drivers is really nothing

but a positive and today we're getting

yet another positive with a new driver

update this time they actually did

something pretty wild this one actually

combines their desktop and notebook

drivers leading to some wild performance

gains now I will go and say I'm not

really sure why they mention this but

you can see here it says Intel's

graphics driver package size has

temporarily increased because the

inclusion of Intel Core Ultra with Intel

arc graphics and Intel graphics driver

so once again they're combining these

Graphics drivers to release them all at

once but they mention temporarily so

maybe they're just trying to get some

information on getting better

performance when they combine them later

they'll end up splitting them off I'm

really not sure I mean this is somewhat

a negative part of this I'm not really

sure if this is just more proof that

Intel's ultimately going to abandon

their desktop cards alog together

obviously I hope not especially what

we've been hearing about battle mage and

stuff like that so fingers crossed there

but when it comes to this driver as you

can see right here Intel Arc a series

Graphics products actually get some wild

performance boosts we're talking 11%

average FPS boost in albian online 33%

ano 1800 Apex Legends 26% Assassin's

Creed Syndicate 133% Black Desert online

Elder Scrolls we move down hunt Showdown

27% just CA three 160% FPS uplift this

is mostly 1080p although some of these

are at 4K just C 4 up to

268 average FPS uplift in 1080P with

very high settings basically if you own

one of Intel's new arc gpus absolutely

download and install this you should see

some pretty big performance jumps in

quite a few games and speaking of

performance increases AMD did it they

stuck to their promise and officially

released fluid motion frames in the

first official driver remember up until

now fluid motion frames was only

available on a beta driver but for the

7600 xt's release they have made it

official on their normal drivers for

those who don't fully understand what

fluid motion frames is just a really

quick refresh ultimately fluid motion

frames is a driver level frame

generation Tech from AMD they only work

on AMD gpus obviously because they don't

make drivers for NVIDIA and couldn't do

that and unfortunately they are only on

the RX 7000 and 6000 series gpus but the

benefit to this is that they work in

nearly every dx12 and dx11 games meaning

you get upwards of basically 100% FPS

boost in just about every game you play

if you own one of these gpus as you can

see down here amd's Frank gazor says

it's here if you haven't tried it yet

you're missing out on huge frame rate

games across thousand of games AMD fluid

motion frames boost FPS up to 97% for a

smoother gaming experience by adding

frame generation technology to any

directx11 and 12 gam so yeah this is

definitely a big deal oh and I actually

made a mistake I said RX 7000 RX 6000

but that's just on desktop it also

supports their mobile Radeon 700m

integrated Graphics basically this is

kind of just free performance though

with some caveats don't forget that

fluid motion frames as well as pretty

much any frame generation Tech is going

to add a bit of latency the technology

basically takes one frame and then

predicts what will happen in the next

frame and goes ahead and puts that up

and then it's rendered the the following

frame is then rendered so you have a

frame in between two rendered frames

that is more or less a fake frame the

reason this adds latency is because if

you were to do an input I.E move your

mouse move your character forward

something like that during this middle

frame because it's not actually being

rendered it's just predicted from a

previous frame I.E a frame where you

weren't moving the mouse at that moment

or you didn't change direction or

anything like that it's not able to see

the future it can predict what's going

to show next if you stay the current

course but if you included a new input

and then turn your character or anything

different than what was happening in the

previous frame it's OB obviously not

going to know therefore having lag input

lag until the next frame so that is why

frame generation effectively adds

latency it is one of the negatives there

are ways of helping latency but it's

always going to be a little worse

regardless this is still free

performance so I definitely suggest

checking it out and next up AMD is

already gearing up for their next

Generation apus this time we're hearing

some information about Kraken point and

basically Kraken Point think of it as

amd's middle-of the road apus and we

actually got some new information from

unknown leaker Everest who states Kraken

Point has four Zen 5 cores and four Zen

5c cores meaning AMD is continuing on

the road to hybrid core designs not only

that but he was asked about whether it

would come with rdna 4 but according to

this it is 3.5 or R A3 plus whatever you

want to call it and he also claims that

it comes with four work group processors

so bit of a different from what we've

been seeing now and what's interesting

is that WCC FTE also kind of lines up

the other processors that we're

expecting from AMD I thought this was

really interesting first you can see we

have amd's well am STS point right here

that is set to be their 8050 Series

right now we have Hawk Point the 840

series but then STS points you can see

is Zen 5 plus Zen 5c 12 12 core 24

threads 32 megabytes of L3 cach this

obviously is all rimmers at this point

but then 16 CU very interesting a bit of

a jump from the current 12 cus that

we've been seeing with uh hawkpoint then

Phoenix then we move over to STS Point

Halo remember I've discussed this a few

times that is set to be the Crim lacrim

Apu this is their Halo Ultimate Edition

and the reason it's such a big deal you

know 16 cores 32 threads then the big

one 40 CU so we're talking a massive by

GPU in here set to honestly challenge

upwards of mid tier gpus so a really

massive boost in integrated GPU

performance then moving over to fire

range that one 16 cores 32 threads only

two cus but almost certainly because

they expect you to pair it with a

discret GPU even though once again this

bad boy very much could end up making a

ton of discret gpus completely obsolete

then finally Kraken points eight cores

16 threads just like he mentioned up

above rdna A3 plus 4 nmet igpu 12 CU and

all of these uh except for hawkpoint are

expected in the second half of 2024 well

possibly this but then we have Kraken

point is expected in 2025

maybe and lastly for today while talking

AMD oh boy Zen 5 ryzen 9000 yes

apparently that is going to be what it's

called this story comes from tech power

up but originally comes from a leaker on

Twitter called high yield who states Zen

5 is closing in according to him we

could see a launch between April and

June of this year so very soon and it is

apparently set to be called rise 9000 of

course if you've been following this

channel you know that I more or less

speculated that it was likely going to

be called ryzen 9000 anyway just because

AMD kind of already took the 8,000

monitor for their mobile chips and

that's still based on Zen 4 really not a

big upgrade over 7,000 hardly at all so

for them to call Zen five ryzen 8000 I

really don't think that would look all

that great so I assume that they would

definitely move to ryzen 9000 and it

does at least sound like according to

this that is the case then of course it

is still on am5 that's no surprise at

all then it's the same on packag chiplet

design as Zen 2 3 4 that's obviously not

a surprise same iodi as Zen 4 not really

a big deal of course same core count

tsmc's in four so we're now moving to 4

nanometers that will obviously help and

according to this double digigit IPC

uplift now he does say similar clocks to

Zen 4 but with a double digit IPC uplift

I mean even if we're talking 15% but if

we're talking something 20 25% that

would be a huge deal even if the clocks

are essentially identical to the current

gen Parts just because that IPC uplift

would be so big as you can see right

here it says AMD could dominate until

aerol Lake but to be honest depending on

just how big of an IPC uplift that is

AMD could potentially even still

dominate a lake I mean I obviously don't

want to make any final conclusions or

anything like like that before we end up

seeing both of these obviously but this

could be a really big deal and a massive

issue for Intel especially given the

issues that it seems they've had with

meteor Lake almost looking like they had

an IPC regression versus their previous

generation really not boating well in my

opinion for Intel's uh future CPU

lineups so we'll obviously have to wait

and see but at least for now this could

be very bad news for Intel so while that

does it for today are you pumped for

amd's ryzen 9000 CPUs let me know down

in the comments below and if you like

the video please subscribe and give it a

thumbs up and as always have a great day
