Quite often, diagnostic tools and benchmarks, such as the popular Geekbench, act as real testimonials that someone, somewhere in the world, is testing new CPUs or GPUs. However, it seems that from now on we will have to pay even more attention to alleged leaks.
In fact, recently Chips And Cheese admitted that the appearance in the Geekbench database of tests carried out on AMD processors belonging to the 7000 series does not still officially announced it was just a joke. To achieve this, the creators of this staging have employed a tool called PMCReader, which allows you to change the contents of the registers (with a maximum of 48 characters) where the CPUID strings are contained in modern AMD systems in an easy and fast way. Software such as Geekbench, CPU-Z and AIDA64 consult the contents of the registers and report the data obtained in the system information and in the benchmark results.
Certainly, given the existence of such a tool, it will be increasingly difficult to distinguish "real" leaks from false ones, making the dissemination of data on the network practically useless in advance.| ); } Recently, the insider "chi11eddog" showed what appears to be a part of a slide, which says "XTX" next to the censored model name, along with the number 24, which refers to the amount of VRAM memory of which the future Radeon RX 7900 XTX should be equipped with.
