The Ryzen 9 9950X is AMD's most powerful Zen 5 desktop offering. Dual CCD Ryzen CPUs have never been the best options for gamers, but they have been the best options for those who like to work and play.
"Why doesn't Intel develop their own kind of 3D V-Cache?" It's a thought-provoking question, especially given how beneficial 3D V-Cache has been for AMD Ryzen chips. Let's benchmark and check that out.
AMD's Ryzen 5 5600 was always competitively priced and presented excellent value for gamers. However, it's a good time to pose the question: how well has it aged, and should you have bought an 8-core or even 16-core CPU instead?
There are plenty of fast 6-core gaming CPUs that outperform relatively new 8, 10, 12, and even 16-core chips. In this article we'll show you some interesting comparisons using different GPUs and gaming settings.
In this article, we'll take a look at how L3 cache capacity affects gaming performance. More specifically, we'll be examining AMD's Zen 3-based Ryzen processors in a "for science" type of feature.
This is the most expensive AMD Ryzen CPU you can buy, which as you might suspect is also the fastest and most powerful Ryzen CPU currently in existence. Not even upcoming Zen 4 CPUs will change that.
Let's look at multitasking performance while gaming. Is there any performance difference if you watch YouTube or stream on Discord while gaming?
If you're looking to upgrade from an older Ryzen or building a new PC, the two most attractive options for gamers right now are arguably the Ryzen 5 5600 for ~$200 or the Ryzen 7 5700X for ~$300.
While the GPU is the main driver of PC gaming performance, skimping on other parts like storage, mobo or PSU can lead to a bad experience. Here are 7 things to avoid when building or buying a budget PC.
It's hard to overemphasize how far computers have come and how they have transformed just about every aspect of our lives. From rudimentary devices to the cutting-edge, you won't find a device not using some form of computing capability.
How much difference can L3 cache make with just 4 CPU cores active? We've gone back to test a variety of CPUs checking for frequency, number of cores and L3 cache to draw some conclusions.
At some point you may have heard someone say that for gaming you need X amount of cores. Examples include "6 is more than enough cores," or "you need a minimum of 8 cores for gaming," let's address that misconception.
With technology advancing so rapidly around us, sometimes misconceptions can work their way into our common understanding. In this article, we'll take a step back and go over some of the most common things people get wrong when talking about computer hardware.
Today we're discussing quad-core processors, namely how relevant they are in 2019. The last time we covered this specific topic was back in 2017, so this article means to explore if these budget quad-cores are worth buying for gamers, or are they dead on arrival.
Due to popular demand, we're looking into AMD's Threadripper 2990WX performance using Linux. We have the Threadripper 2990WX put against the Core i9-7980XE head to head using Windows 10 and Linux (Ubuntu) running the same benchmark tests.
Time has finally come. Today we are bringing you our full review of the Threadripper 2990WX and Threadripper 2950X. Although these two CPUs share the same basic DNA, you should know they are very different processors, targeting completely different market segments.
MSI has joined the Coffee Lake laptop party with a brand new slim gaming laptop. The MSI GS65 Stealth Thin has been hotly anticipated as it brings new internal hardware along with a full refresh of MSI's gaming line build and design.
