AMD Socket AM4 and Bristol Ridge chip pictured up-close

AM4 PGA (Pin Grid Array) socket uses 1331 pins. The socket, as pictured above, features a PGA (Pin Grid Array) design. It is clearly labelled 'Socket AM4' and there are 1331 pins present – a significant increase on the 942 pins supported by AMD's AM3+ socket. (For further comparison Intel's current LGA 1151 sports 1151 pins.)

As a reminder, AMD Socket AM4 is designed to support the currently shipping 7th Generation AMD A-Series ('Bristol Ridge') desktop PC systems and the upcoming Zen-Series ('Summit Ridge') processors. The beefed up number of pin connections will likely be used for the platform's new dual channel DDR4 (up-to 3200MHz) memory configuration, support for up to 24 PCIe lanes, and the integrated Northbridge in upcoming processors.

D-Link DIR-890L AC3200 Ultra Wi-Fi Router Review

How many of you remember the design and wireless capabilities of the very first modem/router you ever used at home or at the office? Mine was a Zyxel one which looked pretty much the same as a small switch and didn't even feature Wi-Fi so it was really nothing to be excited about. However as years went by manufacturers started not only to improve the wireless capabilities of their models by using different chips and increasing the number of antennas but also to make their enclosures more appealing towards enthusiasts and gamers. Of course even today there are many modem/routers in the market that look a lot like regular switches but all the latest ones feature at least two high-gain antennas for broadcasting signal in both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. The DIR-890L Ultra Wi-Fi Router by D-Link released last year (took its time getting here) is not only one of the best looking models in the market today but it also features AC3200 technology for superior wireless performance.

D-Link helps you connect to more of everything with our innovative approach to computer networking. From relatively modest beginnings in Taiwan the company has grown over the last 29 years into an exciting global brand offering the latest network solutions. Whether it is for the home consumer, business or service provider we pride ourselves on offering award winning networking products and services. We will continue to lead the way in building networks for people around the world.

The DIR-890L is a tri-band Wi-Fi router so just like the DIR-880L it features simultaneous broadcast of two wireless bands, 802.11n (2.4GHz 600Mbps) and 802.11ac (5GHz 1300Mbps) but ontop of those two it also features the broadcast of a second 802.11ac (5GHz 1300Mbps) band to achieve the advertised AC3200 status (Unfortunately unlike the Nighthawk X4 by Netgear the DIR-890L lacks a single AC1900 5GHz band but considering there are just a handful of receivers that support it that's not a big deal). In order to support these three bands D-Link used the 1 GHz ARM Cortex-A9 dual-core BCM4709A communications processor by Broadcom (32KB I-cache/32KB D-cache per core/256KB shared L2 Cache) with 512MB RAM, 128MB flash memory and 6 external high-gain antennas. As expected from an ultra-high end router the DIR-890L supports several advanced technologies such as smart beam forming technology (used to focus wireless signal on connected devices) and smart connect technology (automatically assigns devices on the most powerful band available). In terms of wired connectivity the DIR-890L features a total of 4 RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet Ports, WAN Gigabit Ethernet port, USB 3.0 port and a USB 2.0 port. So once again the time has come for us to find out whether or not it's worth spending your hard earned money for the product in our hands.

Reeven Brontes RC-1001b CPU Cooler Review

The Reeven Brontes RC-1001b is aimed at smaller sized builds, but despite acceptable cooling capability, compatibility issues make me question its worthiness.

Samsung SSD 850 Pro 128 GB Review

Today we have once again something special with strong performance for the smaller purse - the Samsung SSD 850 Pro with 128 GB capacity. Nowadays many select a larger SSD to get the larger capacity and faster performance, so it is not surprising that we are testing mainly 512 GB or 1 TB SSDs. Our first test of Samsung is now more than 5 years and our last SSD test with only 128 GB is also a few years ago. Today, we want to change both with the Samsung SSD 850 Pro 128 GB and extensively test, if now the small SSDs can be as fast as large SSDs. We are excited by the results!
