Renowned hardware leaker @momomo_us has published what seems to be specifications of AMD's upcoming EPYC 8004-series 'Siena' processors. The new Zen 4-based CPUs are projected to hit the market later this year or early next year and address lower-power servers that may not need the highest performance, such as those used for edge and telecom applications.

Micron was the first company to introduce 24Gb DDR5 memory devices as well as start shipping actual modules on their base last fall. As it turns out, as part of Micron's HBM3 Gen2 announcement, the company wants to maintain the lead and is prepping to mass produce 32Gb DDR5 ICs as well high-capacity memory modules in the first half of 2024, the company revealed today.

Intel has confirmed that it had paused shipments of some of its fourth-gen Xeon Sapphire Rapids processors due to a newly-discovered bug, but it hadn't set a specific date for shipments to resume. The company has now issued a statement indicating that it has developed a firmware fix and has resumed shipments.

AMD's Zen 4 processors may compete with the best CPUs. Nevertheless, the chipmaker hasn't moved on from Zen 3. As VideoCardz spotted, Gigabyte has listed an unannounced Zen 3 chip from the Ryzen 5000G (Cezanne) days. The Ryzen 7 5700 first popped up last year, but this is the first time it's been part of an official listing.

Kingston Server Premier DDR5 5200MT/s & 5600MT/s ECC UDIMMs will be launching on June 12, 2023. These higher speeds are in addition to the Kingston Server Premier DDR5 4800MT/s ECC UDIMMs that are currently in shipping status.

Paul Alcorn, Deputy Managing Editor for Tom's Hardware US , met with AMD CTO Mark Papermaster on the sidelines of ITF World, a conference hosted by semiconductor research firm imec in Antwerp, Belgium, for an interview to discuss some of AMD’s plans for the future.

As spotted by Linux publication Phoronix, Intel released CPU microcode updates for processors all the way back to Coffee Lake on Friday afternoon. Unfortunately, the changelog doesn't delve into details other than that the new microcode fixes an undisclosed security issue.

Igor's Lab reports that AMD's new Ryzen 7000 burnout firmware fix, AGESA ComboAM5 patch 1.0.7.0, addresses further bugs surrounding Ryzen 7000's temperature control system. The new combo patch now sets a forced SoC voltage limit of 1.3v and packs in new SMU bug fixes to ensure the processors do not go beyond their temperature specifications.

AMD's EPYC Genoa-X server processors with 3D V-Cache will arrive later this year. An alleged engineering sample (ES) of the EPYC 9684X has gone up on sale for $1,300 on a second-hand Chinese selling platform. The Goofish(opens in new tab) seller claims the processor wields 96 cores and 1,152MB of L3 cache.

With the introduction of the non-K 13th Gen Raptor Lake CPU lineup, Intel started to mix and match Raptor Lake and Alder Lake dies into its latest generation of Intel Core CPUs. However, how much faster Raptor Lake versions might be over Alder Lake counterparts remained a mystery until now.
