Russian YouTube channel PRO Hi-Tech shows what the 32-core Irtysh C632 processor can achieve in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt when paired with an AMD Radeon RX 9600 XT graphics card.
The Ryzen 5 7600X3D is easily the best value in gaming CPUs right now, even 18 months after it was released. Outside of games, however, it loses some ground, particularly to Intel’s recent competition, which has made strides in both gaming and productivity.
Diamond Rapids, also known as Xeon 7, was supposed to launch later this year, but a new leak from Jaykihn claims the timeline has now moved to 2027. Clearwater Forest, the E-core-only successor to Sierra Forest, is set to release in the first half of this year, while the next-gen Coral Rapids family is reportedly planned for 2028.
Intel is claiming that better software optimization for hybrid architecture CPUs can unlock up to 30% more performance without hardware upgrades. The silicon itself is very capable, but its true potential is held back by code that perhaps prioritizes more conventional silicon and, therefore, benefits from brute-force upgrades like extra L3 cache.
Intel's Wildcat Lake family was launched recently, but no devices featuring the CPUs have actually shown up yet. Analyst Vaidyanathan S shared pictures of a real laptop running the new 'Core Series 3' silicon, but it's just an Intel reference machine. It also shows that Wildcat Lake has a 17W PL1 and an 11W fanless mode, along with a 22W PL1 Max and a 35W PL2 mode.
In a new interview, Intel VP Robert Hallock unveiled a renewed focus on the entry-level enthusiast market with a commitment to release more budget-friendly unlocked CPUs over time.
