The FMAX or peak frequency is the maximum default clock limit that is allowed within the BIOS of AMD's fleet of Ryzen CPUs, with the current-gen Ryzen 7000 series "Zen 4" processors FMAX at 5.85GHz ...

Matt Bach is the head of Puget Labs and has been part of Puget Systems, a boutique builder of gaming and workstation PCs, since the early days. This article was originally published on the Puget blog.

Reducing the CPU speed is an important part of power management in modern laptop computers. In fact, running the CPU at a lower speed not only saves power, it reduces the heat production, which ...

AMD's CPU binning spree continues with the Ryzen 5 7500X3D, a cut-down, cache-heavy offshoot of the 7800X3D lineage. An OEM chip that somehow landed at retail, ...

Leo has finally had time to review the 13700k processor Intel sent to him a while ago. He is impressed. We find out why.

AMD's 7nm Ryzen 3000 CPUs may not be able to hit their boost frequencies on every CPU core. This is a departure from previous clocking methods on CPUs, but does it actually represent a problem? Share ...

Different computer components run at different frequencies. For this reason they require a base frequency to synchronize their operations. The motherboard provides this in the form of an external ...

Modern CPUs are becoming immensely powerful. This is because they are powered by a number of cores. These multiple cores can definitely make the CPU reach a very high overall clock frequency, but all ...

I have a 1.1GHz T-Bird, on an Asus A7A266 mobo, 128MB PC266 ram. When I assembled the thing (some time ago), at the bios I just selected the 1100MHz option on the CPU speed and left the CPU multiple ...

One of the most important (and obvious) characteristics of mobile computing is that mobile devices use batteries rather than being plugged into the mains power. This means that every part of a mobile ...
