AMD Ryzen 7 1700X CPU gets benchmarked

As we draw closer to the official launch of AMD's Ryzen CPU lineup, it is no surprise that we get to see some benchmark leaks and while there have been some around, this is the first time we have seen a few benchmarks at the same place.

Coming from XFastest.com site, the leak shows AMD's Ryzen 7 1700X tested in 3DMark Fire Strike, Cinebench R15, and CPUmark. The CPU was running at 3.5GHz base and 3.9GHz Turbo clock which is slightly higher than earlier leaked 3.4GHz/3.8GHz clocks but that might have something to do with AMD's XFR technology. XFastest.com also pictured the new Ryzen CPU next to the FX-series CPU.

Thanks to a leak coming from Videocardz.com, courtesy of the Informatica Cero site, AMD will have two CPU coolers for its "boxed" SKUs.
To be available with AMD Ryzen 7 1800X and Ryzen 7 1700X SKUs, the Wraith Max boxed cooler has a TDP of 140W and measures 105x108x85mm, which should be enough to cope with AMD's flagship SKUs.

FSP Twins 500W Redundant Power Supply Review

Today we take a look at the latest redundant power supply from OEM manufacturer FSP. This 500 watt unit is ideal for placement in servers or workstations within small business environments. The Twins 500W power supply actually incorporates two 520 watt supplies inside an outer ATX sized shell.

When the power supply is operating normally, each of the units shares the load, with the fall back option that if one fails then the other can take the full load – without any down time. The redundant. hot swappable concept is interesting and one we don’t often get the chance to investigate.

Honor 6X Review: Dual Camera Premium Android For Less

The Honor 6X is a full-featured, 5.5-inch, dual rear camera-equipped smartphone that weighs in at a very approachable price tag. Today, we’re finally getting the opportunity to dive deeper into the device for you.

The Honor 6X sports a 5.5-inch display, which is actually a little bigger than the screen on its pricier cousin, the Honor 8. In fact, it’s the same size as the display on Apple’s iPhone 7 Plus. The IPS display offers a full HD 1920X1080 resolution, with 403 pixels per inch and brightness up to 450 nits.

However, the feature that could help drive sales is the dual-camera setup on the backside of the phone. Huawei paired a 12MP camera with a 2MP camera here... and also enabled the Honor 6X with some powerful software for post-shot editing...
