A brief introduction to Sense MI and the Ryzen CPU.
Any high-level overview of AMD’s Ryzen processors will mention a set five of technologies collectively known as Sense MI. These include Pure Power, Precision Boost, extended Frequency Range (XFR), Neural Net Prediction and Smart Prefetch.
Pure Power and Precision Boost
Pure Power and Precision Boost control voltage and operating frequency of the Ryzen processor. This concept isn’t new as every modern processor features some form of voltage and boost frequency range to optimize performance-per-watt depending on workload.
What makes Ryzen different however is how fine grained this control has become. AMD claims Ryzen has more than a thousand embedded sensors distributed per core complex that continuously analyzes power, operating temperature and frequency. Ryzen processors won’t just be able to respond to varying workload needs with greater efficiency (as fast as 1ms), but with finer granularity as well (25MHz adjustments compared to 100MHz of past generations). The effect of Pure Power and Precision Boost combined is to better optimize performance per-watt of a Ryzen CPU at any workload with a goal to reduce power consumption while maintaining similar performance compared to previous architectures.

BETTER, PRICIER
I had high hopes for the Iskur V2 gaming chair, which Razer says has been armed with significant enhancements over the original Iskur (launched late 2020).
SPEED UP, PRICE DOWN
The GeForce RTX 4080 raised eyebrows for its price tag that was closer to the RTX 4090, but a performance closer to the RTX 4070 Ti.
SUPERSIZED HANDHELD GAMING
This transition towards handheld PC gaming platforms has been notably marked by the emergence of the Steam Deck.
TITAN ON A DIET
ON A D Like many companies, Secretlab has faced supply chain challenges due to the pandemic. This has impacted their pricing structure, particularly for the Titan Evo chairs.

DUAL SCREEN, PERFECTED?
For notebooks, the most common trade-off is between display size and portability. ASUS, however, appears to have broken this immutable rule with the Zenbook Duo UX8406.
ULTIMATE FLAGSHIP
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, a device that promises to redefine the premium smartphone experience.
Take Even Better Photos With The iPhone 15 Pro And 15 Pro Max
We already covered the iPhone 15 and 15 Pro Max's photography capabilities rather extensively in our review, but the general idea is that Apple has done a great job improving the software side and offering better sharpness, detail and a new 5x telephoto zoom lens on the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
