AMD Launches New B450 Chipset Motherboards With Wide CPU Support

AMD has bounced back in tremendous fashion in the hardware business, reporting a huge 53% rise in its revenue. The major credit for this goes to their Ryzen series of CPUs and APUs, along with the heavyweight Threadripper processors. While the company already has a total of 3 model motherboards to its name, namely the A320, B350, and the X370, the company has now launched the all-new B450 motherboards.

The new AMD B450 chipset will support almost the entire range of AMD’s processors, including the Athlon Processor, the 7th-gen AMD A-Series APU, and both the 1st-gen and 2nd-gen AMD CPUs and APUs. As for the features, the new B450 chipset will support 24 PCIe Gen 3 Lanes along with full DRAM OC. Also, since all the Ryzen processors are unlocked out-of-the-box, the B450 will also feature Unlocked CPU Overclocking. What’s more is that the new chipset will come with support for the AMD StoreMI Technology as well, promising SSD-equivalent speeds from the SATA HDDs.

The best part about AMD’s chipsets has been the extended support. While its main competitor, Intel, requires you to upgrade your motherboard with a new chipset with every generation of its processors, AMD promises you a long tenure of support with your motherboard. The AM4 socket that the B450 uses is the same that is found on the already existing chipset motherboards from the company. As such, the company has promised full support and compatibility from 2017 and all the way to 2020.

The new AMD B450 chipset motherboards will come from a variety of OEMs, including the likes of ASUS, MSI, BIOSTAR, GIGABYTE, and more. The starting price for AMD’s B450 chipset motherboard is said to be around $70 (Rs. 4,800).

iPhone 12 to Have 5nm Processor, Qualcomm’s X55 5G Modem: Report

Apple is all set to launch its first 5G iPhones next year, and a new report out of Japan now claims that they will ship with Qualcomm’s X55 5G modem under-the-hood. According to multiple sources quoted by the Nikkei Asian Review , at least three of the devices the company will launch next year, will ship with 5G connectivity. “It will be the first time Apple introduces 5G iPhones … There will be three of them and the company has set an aggressive sales target” , said one of them. As per the report, the next-gen iPhone lineup will be powered by the A14 chip that will use the 5nm technology, making it significantly more power efficient than its predecessor, the A13 Bionic, found on the current-gen iPhone 11 lineup. At least two of the three new phones will also have what the report called ‘flexible’ OLED displays, although it’s not immediately clear what it meant by that term. In addition, Apple is also developing a new ‘3D-sensing rear-camera’ that is said to be able to “sense t...

Microsoft has already pushed the near-final release version of the Windows 10 November 2019 Update and is now focusing its efforts on the next major 20H1 update.

The highlights of Insider Build 19013 is the return of Power Toys. They’re special utilities that were made popular in the Windows 95 and Windows XP era, but had been nixed to make way for new features over the past few years. Well, they’ve now made a return to Windows 10 20H1 Insider builds this month, starting with 2 features, PowerRename and FancyZones. While PowerRename makes it possible for users to rename files in bulk, the FancyZones feature lets you drag apps into defined target positions on your PC. You can take a close look at the FancyZones feature right here . Apart from this, the Windows subsystem f...

Samsung Launches Galaxy Labs; an App Suite to Help Optimize Your Phone

Though OneUI 2 is set to bring along a number of changes to Samsung’s Galaxy phones, the company has today released a new suite of device optimization apps. Dubbed Galaxy Labs, it’s offering users access to 4 apps, including a file restoration app, battery tracker and optimizer, and an app booster.

It’s going to serve as one of the most used and important apps in the Galaxy Labs suite as it will help recover permanently deleted files from your internal, as well as external storage. Next up, we have Battery Tracker and Battery Guardian apps. The name of these 2 apps are enough to tell you what they do. While the former gives you an in-depth look at the device’s battery usage (more detailed in comparison to the in-built battery tracker), the latter only checks if existing battery optimiza...
