AMD Ryzen 7000 Series Processors Now Available in Retail

Leave a comment

AMD’s Ryzen 7000 processors are perhaps one of the most anticipated updates to the company’s lineup of processors since the first announcement of the Zen architecture. The new processors come with the new Zen 4 microarchitecture. The new microarchitecture promises better, more efficient performance and also allow for higher clock speeds.

AMD Ryzen 70000 Series 4

With Ryzen 7000 and Zen 4, AMD is finally retiring the AM4 Socket and fully adopting DDR5. As such, manufacturers like ASUS, GIGABYTE, MSI and ASROCK are also releasing updated, beefed up motherboards for the new series. The Ryzen 7000 processors are also bringing a big jump in performance and introducing AMD’s new EXPO technology. AMD EXPO (Extended Profiles for Overclocking) makes overclocking for the best performance a simple task with preset and optimised profiles for any game. Of course, this requires you to use compatible memory which is listed on the AMD EXPO website.

AMD Ryzen 70000 Series 6
AMD Ryzen 70000 Series 3
AMD Ryzen 70000 Series 5 2

In addition, the new processors come with integrated RDNA2 cores which will give it a slight boost in graphical performance. It goes without saying that the integrated graphics cores are no replacement for dedicated GPUs. That said, with higher clocks and claimed improvements in performance, the new Ryzen 7000 series CPUs are going to cost a pretty penny.

AMD pricing

AMD has launched four versions of their Zen 4 processors: the Ryzen 9 7950X, the Ryzen 9 7900X, the Ryzen 7 7700X and the Ryzen 7600X. These processors come with a different number of cores, processing threads, cache, clock speeds and TDPs that are catered to different levels of performance. All four are available in the market starting on September 27, 2022 with prices starting at MYR1,399.

Here’s a rundown of the pricing and details of each processor and their official prices in MYR and USD.

From goods procurement, logistics, transportation, and customs clearance until received payment, there are at least three months of delay in terms of cash flow. For instance, Chinese cross-border export B2C market is estimated at 2 trillion, which means that 500 billion worth of capital is stuck in transit for three months. This will cause a large number of funds are not available for the merchants promptly. Thus, Dowsure decided to solve these pain points. The company integrated the cross-border transaction chain through API technology capability, and realized the low-cost capital irrigation of banks, to cover millions of cross-border merchants in China with universal benefits.

1. Understanding ToB Cross-border Merchants

Dowsure has been in the “cross-border” sector since it is founded. In 2016, Dowsure joined hands with its partners to create the first product covering the cross-border insurance business. After years of cultivating cross-border, Dowsure clearly understands the needs and pain points of cross-border e-commerce merchants.

Based on sellers’ demand for high credit limits and a fully online application process, in June 2021, Dowsure empowered Pudong Development Bank to launch the “cross-border business loan” product through the cross-border financial cloud. The benchmark “520” for cross-border e-commerce financing products stands for “5 minutes to apply, 2 minutes to approve, 0 seconds to disburse funds”. This product has benefited a large number of cross-border e-commerce merchants.

Meanwhile, based on Dowsure’s reputation and prospect in the cross-border industry, it has attracted a large number of outstanding talents to join, with executive team members coming from IBM, Ping An Insurance, Bank of China, Ant Group, Ernst & Young, DJI, and other fields.

2. Precise Positioning

The information of the cross-border industry is very fragmented, which it creates an information gap between countries.

Cross-border e-commerce platforms believe that localization is the key to support the development of the merchants, and local banking institutions need to form a relatively closed loop of information flow, capital flow, logistics, etc. so that they can better serve the merchants. This is the area where Dowsure is professionalized, connecting digital information and financing, bridging them very strongly, linking the cross-border industry, and unleashing the digital value of each cross-border business through API technology capabilities.

3. Deep Understanding of Industry

In this industry, with continuous in-depth exploration, Dowsure realizes that the industry lacks capital support for not just merchants, but also the entire supply chain, including service providers.

On this basis, Dowsure partners with financial institutions to provide cross-border merchants with credit loans, invoice installments, cash advance, and other financing solutions. Dowsure also provides a full range of financing support from procurement, logistics, advertising, sales, and other cross-border scenarios to help merchants gain an advantage in the competitive market.

4. Trust from Partners

Along the way through continuous refinement, trust, understanding of Dowsure’s partner, such as leading cross-border e-commerce marketplaces: Amazon, eBay, and Shopee, as well as the top 10 banks in China and around the world. Dowsure is excited about the bright future for cross-border e-commerce industry.

Huang Ke, the co-founder of Dowsure, said, “All along, we have been doing the difficult but right thing. Our partnered institutions have mature systems globally, and it is a very difficult thing to link their systems and data together in a compliant and efficient way through technical means. We appreciate the trust of our partners and would like to penetrate every area of the cross-border ecology with our partners so that we can enjoy growth with partners together.

(Future – Digital finance along with cross-border e-commerce is the norm)

Unlike traditional finance, the amount of funds that can be raised mainly depends on collateral, guarantee, property, asset, and liability ratio. In the cross-border e-commerce scenarios, all assets circulate in digital forms, such as the inventory of overseas warehouses, unsettled funds of platforms, and sales returns of merchandise.

Once the closed loop is formed, merchants can achieve realizable digital assets, and create value for these digital assets. At the same time, technology is iterating. What we want to do is to unlock the value of sellers’ digital assets. The existence of digital finance will become a new norm that cross-border e-commerce cannot live without and a huge boost to fuel the development of the industry.

DHL Malaysia Goes Green with Electric Delivery Vans for Last Mile Deliveries

Leave a comment

Going Green and being sustainable is all the rage now as corporations continue to find their footing in a market where consumers continue to look for more sustainable goods and services. While there have been many companies who have been boasting about their “green” efforts, not many have done anything tangible or impactful. In Malaysia, DHL is joining the ranks of those who have tangibly implemented policies and followed through. The company will be deploying electric vehicles (EVs) for their last-mile deliveries starting in October 2022.

DHL will be kicking off their sustainability efforts with an initial deployment of 6 electric vans in the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor regions. By 2023, this number will be increased to 61 EVs deployed nationwide. The deployment of these vehicles will undoubtedly go a long way in their efforts to become more sustainable and reduce their carbon footprint in Malaysia. DHL Malaysia is targeting to have 60% of its fleet be EVs by 2050 with a shorter-term goal of 30% of its fleet by 2024.

The EV being deployed by DHL is the CAM EC35. This van has about 4.8m3 of cargo space with a payload of more than 1 ton. The CAM EC35 is rated for a running distance of about 266km on a single charge of its 38.7kWh battery. According to DHL, the company has optimized its delivery routes to ensure that the vans will be able to complete deliveries efficiently within a single charge. Of course, the EV35 can be charged overnight (8 hours) for a complete charge and, if needed, can be fully charged with a DC fast charger in 2.5 hours.

When asked about the impacts of fast charging on the battery itself, representatives from CAM confirm that fast charging will have minimal impact on the battery itself. They also emphasized the 5-year warranty for the vehicle and reiterated the durability of the CAM EV35.

The deployment of the CAM35 EVs into their Malaysian fleet is the latest effort by DHL in their efforts to become a sustainable company by 2050. However, its a big step in their efforts to greenify their operations by 2030 and reduce their carbon footprint from 33MT to 29MT in the same timeframe.

This isn’t the first step that DHL has implemented to go green. In fact, if their international track record is anything to go by, we can expect to see them adopt more technologies in the near future to become more sustainable. In Malaysia alone, the company has accelerated their sustainability journey with warehouse solutions and logistics technologies powered by AI and cloud computing with partners like AWS which allow them to minimise energy consumption and maximise efficiency.
