AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX stands toe-to-toe with Intel’s flagship 13th-gen HX series

The first benchmark test results for the 16-core AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX Dragon Range have been released in the wild, and so far the results have been quite promising.

The upcoming AMD processor was tested on Geekbench using the Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 laptop, which has 32GB of DDR5 memory clocked at 4800 MT/s. It was revealed, according to the official Geekbench site and reported on by VideoCardz, that its average CPU scores were 2061 and 18685 points in single and multi-core tests, respectively. Its highest scores were 2127 points in single-core and 19403 points in multi-core.

This places the Ryzen 9 7945HX at the top of the mobile single-core rankings and just below the Intel 13th Gen Core i9-HX series in multi-core. This is particularly impressive since the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX has fewer cores than the Intel Core i9-13980HX (16-core versus 24-core), and they both have the same thread count (32-thread count).

It’s also impressive that this makes the Ryzen 9 7945HX Dragon Range more than twice as fast as the previous gen Rembrandt chips, which makes sense since the former also has twice the core count as the latter. The Ryzen 9 7945HX’s max clock speeds can also reach up to 5.4 GHz with 55 watts, and the TDP can be configured for 75 watts.

AMD previously revealed the existence of the 16-core Ryzen 9 7945HX during its CES 2023 keynote. 

AMD is breathing down Intel’s neck

Competition continues to heat up between Team Red and Team Blue in the mobile processor market, with high-end chips matchups neck-and-neck. It’s interesting to see these leaked mobile CPU benchmarks tests so far this gen, and how close these chips are to each other in performance.

If these tests continue to be favorable, this could make AMD’s Dragon Range series of CPUs some of the best AMD processors and even the best processors out there in general. And if Team Red is releasing chips that can compete with Team Blue’s own silicon for a cheaper price, it would make for a very favorable situation for the former.

So far that front isn’t too shabby, as the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 refresh equipped with said CPU starts at $1,499. But hopefully, we’ll see more pricing as more laptops are released with both the Ryzen 9 7945HX and Core i9-13980HX.

Windows Copilot leak suggests deeper assimilation with Windows 11 features

Key Windows 11 features may soon be customizable as Microsoft further integrates its Windows Copilot AI assistant into the operating system. This tidbit comes from tech news site Windows Latest , which claims to have discovered new .json (JavaScript Object Notation) files within recent preview builds of Windows 11. These files apparently hint at future upgrades for the desktop AI assistant. For example, a “TaskManagerService-ai-plugin.json” was found which is supposedly a “plugin for Task Manager integration”. If this ever comes out, it could give users the ability to “monitor or close running apps using” Copilot. In total, six are currently tested and they affect various aspects of Windows 11. Next, there is an “AccessbilityTools-ai-plugin.json” that gives Copilot a way to “control accessibility [tools]. This would make it "easier for those with [a] disability to navigate through the system.” Third is “ai-plugin-WindowsSettings.json” for controlling important Windows 11 set...

Google Chrome releases security fix for this major flaw, so update now

Google says it has fixed a high-severity flaw in its Chrome browser which is currently being exploited by threat actors in the wild.  In a security advisory , the company described the flaw being abused and urged the users to apply the fix immediately.  "Google is aware that an exploit for CVE-2023-2033 exists in the wild," the advisory reads. Automatic updates The zero-day in question is a confusion weakness vulnerability in the Chrome V8 JavaScript engine, the company said. Usually, this type of flaw can be used to crash the browser, but in this case it can also be used to run arbitrary code on compromised endpoints.  The flaw was discovered by Clement Lecigne from the Google Threat Analysis Group (TAG). Usually, TAG works on finding flaws abused by nation-states, or state-sponsored threat actors. There is no word on who the threat actors abusing this flaw are, though.

Samsung's ViewFinity S9 may be the monitor creatives have been searching for

Originally revealed during CES 2023 , Samsung has finally launched its ViewFinity S9 5K monitor after nine long months of waiting.  According to the announcement, the ViewFinity S9 is the company’s first-ever 5K resolution (5,120 x 2880 pixels) IPS display aimed primarily at creatives. IPS stands for in-plane switching , a form of LED tech offering some of the best color output and viewing angles on the market. This quality is highlighted by the fact that the 27-inch screen supports 99 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut plus delivers 600 nits of brightness.  Altogether, these deliver great picture quality made vibrant by saturated colors and dark shadows. The cherry on top for the ViewFinity S9 is a Matte Display coating to “drastically [reduce] light reflections.”  As a direct rival to the Apple Studio Display , the monitor is an alternative for creative professionals looking for options. It appears Samsung has done its homework as the ViewFinity S9 addresses some of...
