According to the reviews, the RTX 5070 appears to be a barebones upgrade, especially without its AI features. In terms of raw performance alone, it lags behind several cards and doesn’t come close to matching the RTX 4090, as Nvidia initially suggested.

While Nvidia cleverly mentioned that the RTX 5070 could theoretically match the RTX 4090’s performance using AI and frame generation, this isn’t the case in practice. The RTX 50 series introduces a new feature called Multi Frame Generation with DLSS 4, which allows the GPU to use AI to nearly double or triple the frame rate. This builds on a similar feature, Super Resolution, introduced with the RTX 40 series. However, the RTX 50 series’ MFG promises up to 4x the performance boost, but with a significant caveat.

Benchmarks reveal that while the RTX 5070 can artificially inflate frame rates using AI, the issue of latency remains severe. For example, in Cyberpunk 2077, the RTX 5070 struggles to run the game at more than 30 FPS in RT Overdrive mode due to its lower VRAM. Even with 4x Multi Frame Generation, the latency is much higher compared to the RTX 4090. In Alan Wake 2, which supports Path Tracing like Cyberpunk 2077, the RTX 4090 maintains a latency of around 60ms, while the RTX 5070’s latency jumps to 130-140ms with MFG enabled. This results in an almost unplayable controller response.

The bottom line is that Nvidia’s claims about the RTX 5070 matching the RTX 4090’s performance were misleading. There’s a significant gap in raw performance, and even AI features like Multi Frame Generation can’t bridge it. While MFG might create the illusion of higher frame rates, the increased latency undermines the overall experience, making the RTX 5070 a disappointing offering compared to its predecessor.

Nvidia’s RTX 5070 is being sold at a retail price of $549. Next in line is the RTX 5070ti, priced at $749, followed by the RTX 5080 at $999. However, finding these graphics cards at their suggested retail prices is nearly impossible due to low stock levels and scalping of the available units.

A day after MSI teased the MSI CLAW on social media, comprehensive details about the upcoming gaming handheld have emerged, including hardware specs. The new device will allegedly be powered by the Intel Meteor Lake processor.

MSI CLAW Leaked Specs

The alleged specs for the MSI CLAW gaming handheld can be seen below.

• CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 7 155H
  • Topology: 1 Processor, 16 Cores, 22 Threads
  • Clock Speed: 3.80 GHz (base), 4.787 GHz (Max)
  • Cores: 6 Cores (Cluster 1), 10 Cores (Cluster 2)
  • Cache: 64.0 KB x 11 (L1 Instruction), 48.0 KB x 11 (L1 Data), 2.00 MB x 2 (L2 Data), 24.0 MB x 1 (L3)
• GPU: Inter Arc (Alchemist architecture)
  • Cores: 8 Xe-Cores
  • Clock Speed: Up to 2.25 GHz
• Memory: 32 GB
• Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro (64-bit)

MSI has opted for the Core Ultra 7 155H SKU for the CLAW, featuring a high-spec processor boasting 16 cores and 22 threads—twice the offering of the Ryzen Z1 Extreme. The system incorporates 6 P-Cores, 8 E-Cores, and 2 LP-Cores, with built-in graphics relying on the Arc Alchemist architecture featuring 8 Xe-Cores capable of boosting up to 2.25 GHz. Officially designated as a 28W processor with a Max Turbo Power of 115W, early tests indicate that the Arc Xe-LPG graphics demonstrate a competitive edge over the AMD integrated RDNA3, as seen with the Ryzen 7040 and 8040 series.

Leaked specs also reveal that the system will support up to 32 GB of memory, which is twice of the memory available in the Legion Go and ROG Ally. It’s possible that MSI may offer multiple configurations of the device, as not everyone would require such a substantial amount of memory. The official reveal of MSI’s new handheld is scheduled to happen at the upcoming CES 2024. These leaked specs give us an early looking at what can be expected from the device in terms of performance.

The regulator authority in question is the EEC (Eurasian Economic Commission), which oversees the registration of electronic components before they are introduced to the market. Among the entities listed on the site, Arktek, a relatively less known GPU vendor with a limited global footprint, has recently submitted new Radeon models for approval.

Arktek is involved in the manufacturing of GeForce and Radeon cards, which are distributed in specific markets. Recent filings from one of Arktek’s subsidiaries in China suggest the potential arrival of AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT, Radeon RX 7700, and RX 7800 GPUs in the near future.

It’s worth noting that EEC listings may not always be entirely accurate. Many third-party entities, often acting on behalf of larger OEMs and board partners, submit model names that may never officially hit the market. However, in certain cases, custom models may surface weeks or even months later.

Currently, Arktek offers Radeon RX 6600 and RX 500 series cards as part of their latest Radeon lineup. This list raises the possibility of additional RDNA3 launches in the future. Except for the three unreleased SKUs mentioned, the remaining items align with AMD’s current offerings. Regarding rumors, there is currently speculation about the release of the Radeon RX 7600 XT next year. As for the RX 7700 and RX 7800 non-XT variants, this marks the first instance of such plans being disclosed, at least from one of the OEMs.

The AMD Radeon RX 7000 series consists of graphics processing units developed based on the RDNA 3 architecture. Introduced on November 3, 2022, it succeeds the Radeon RX 6000 series. Thus far, AMD has officially unveiled five graphics cards in the 7000 series: RX 7600, RX 7700 XT, RX 7800 XT, RX 7900 XT, and RX 7900 XTX. This series marks the first generation of Radeon GPUs to incorporate dedicated AI accelerators, a feature previously exclusive to AMD’s Instinct GPUs designed for data centers.

A known Nvidia insider, kopite7kimi, has shared the alleged specs for the Nvidia RTX 40XX Super lineup of GPUs. Based on what they shared, we’ve put together a comparison between the Super and the existing RTX 40XX series.

Nvidia RTX 40XX Super vs RTX 40XX Specs Comparison

A specs comparison between the Nvidia RTX 40XX Super and RTX 40XX cards can be seen below.

As always, we urge our readers to take all rumors with a grain of salt until a confirmation comes from an official channel.

The GeForce 40 series is a family of graphics processing units developed by Nvidia, succeeding the GeForce 30 series. The RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 were released on October 12 and November 16, respectively, following the series’ announcement on September 20, 2022, at the GPU Technology Conference (GTC) 2022 event. The third-generation RT cores and fourth-generation Tensor Cores from Nvidia are used in the cards, which are based on the Ada Lovelace architecture and offer hardware-accelerated raytracing (RTX). On January 3, 2023, NVIDIA reintroduced the cancelled 4080 12GB as 4070 Ti while reducing its price by $100. A number of mobile GPUs were released as well.

Given previous Nvidia GPU generations and the significant difference in performance and specifications compared to the 16 GB card, numerous publications, well-known YouTubers, reviewers, and the community criticized Nvidia for calling the 12 GB RTX 4080 an RTX 4080 rather than an RTX 4070 when it was first announced. It was implied by the names RTX 4080 12GB and RTX 4080 16GB that the only distinction between the two products was their VRAM capacities.

Facebook users are reporting about the service going down on website DownDetector, which is entirely run by user reports. It tracks almost every service from PlayStation Network, Xbox Live to major social networking websites. According to DownDetector, there has been a surge of reports on Facebook for the past few hours indicating a global outage.

This doesn’t just limit to Facebook but other services that are under them, like Instagram, are also facing issues with reports of the service not working as expected, or not letting users login into their account. The website DownDetector has again shown a surge of users reporting about the service going down for them again indicating it is a worldwide outage and not just restricted to a region.

What exactly is causing this issue remains a mystery for now, but this apparently also happened yesterday with Google’s email client Gmail. We will have to wait and see how long Facebook takes to tackle this problem, but perhaps it is a good thing because people who are addicted to these services can finally spend their time with other things.
