    Radeon RX 5600 XT: Clock rates overview - 12 & 14 Gbps models

    Posted: 13 May 2020 12:27 AM PDT

    Last week, AMD promote the use of 14 Gbps memory clock on the Radeon RX 5600 XT, as already known. With this, many (but not all) models with 12 Gbps memory speed change to 14 Gbps, resulting in new BIOS versions. I count a dozen of models, who started at launch times in January with 12 Gbps (maybe with a higher core clock, but not the higher memory clock), who change to 14 Gbps in March & April.

    But not all cards change to the higher memory speed: XFX divide their "Thicc" series into "12Gbps" and "14Gbps" variants. Beside this, the XFX Raw II, Asus Dual (non OC) and Asus Strix (non OC) never changed to the higher memory speed or got an extra 14 Gbps variant. So, most of the Radeon RX 5600 XT models are now at 14 Gbps (and definitely all important models), but still not all models.

    Should open source BIOS be compulsory, at least as an option ?

    Posted: 13 May 2020 02:13 AM PDT

    I've posted this here several times, but after deletions and eventual ping-pong with redditors about what does/not constitute political post, I cleared and reformatted the text as my last effort.

    By BIOS I mean PC BIOS/UEFI as well as Mac and other equivalents, encompassing all applicable devices, notebooks, tablets, smartphones included.

    There are two main rationales for the question of open-source BIOS option:

    • Security
      BIOS is not something that you can choose not to use or to use some other BIOS. Furthermore, it is on lower level than your OS, so it can easily pack back-doors and sniffing malware that will not be detected by your OS ( UEFI, PSP, SMM blob, peripheral FW blobs, microcode blob etc)
    • Configurability and maintainability
      BIOS is often used to curb usability of particular board to particular market and to obsolete it for new models deliberately ahead of hardware necessity. Good examples are ECC support and support for particular CPU models on AM4 and earlier platforms ( AM3+, AM3 etc). There are probably tons of Intel examples that I'm not familiar with.

    Question is, since BIOS is part of every PC ( and has an equivalent on other platforms), shouldn't open-source version be compulsory, at least as an option ?

    With smartphones and tablets the situation is much more dire, as they contain much more sensors for spy applications, are much more exposed to hostile environment and are practically glued to the owner.

    I'm not saying that open-source must be sole or even default option. Just that everyone on the market should open their documentation sufficiently to enable purely open-source version, with working, available proof and that there should be a source available for every binary blob.

    That is, working open-source version should be available both as an proof of sufficiently opened documentation and as an actual option for the user.

    This would enable some disinfecting sunlight into the area and keep things safer even for users that otherwise don't care about open-source.

    Also, it would enable users to keep using hardware in the way the need to and to use it up to hardware obsolescence. Surely new green, recycling mentality should appreciate this.

    Just as couple latest examples that would greatly benefit from this are new Zen3 on AM4 platform and Intel's uncovered "bug" on Thunderbolt. There are bazzilion of others. Many seem to be deliberately inserted.

    Ideas, comments ?

    Are phones faster than today’s Laptops?

    Posted: 12 May 2020 04:44 PM PDT

    For example is an A13bionic chip in an ipad faster than a i5 9th gen laptop CPU? Edit: Final Conclusion - The ARM CPUs are quite shockingly fast but only at very specific and comparatively small tasks and in single threaded work loads so probably gaming might be faster but nothing else...excited to see the future of these chips...
