AMD finally delivers dual 3D V-Cache on Zen 5 with the 9950X3D2, but does twice the cache translate into real gains? We test performance, power, and value to see if this flagship makes sense.
Four years on, we revisit the Ryzen 7 5800X3D vs Core i9-12900K with modern games and DDR4 vs DDR5 configs. The result: still neck and neck, but memory choice now makes a real difference.
Nine X3D CPUs, two platforms, and 14 games tested. We compare every Ryzen 5 and 7 X3D processor to find out how much performance has improved since the 5800X3D and where it actually matters.
AMD's Ryzen 5 5500X3D extends AM4's life once again, but is it worth it? We tested 14 games to see how this cut-down 3D V-Cache chip stacks up against Zen 3, older Ryzen parts, and newer CPUs.
Platform longevity helped define Ryzen's rise, but was it really the secret sauce? As Nova Lake and Zen 6 approach, we revisit AM4 to see how much socket support truly shaped the CPU market.
AMD's Ryzen 7 9850X3D promises the fastest gaming performance yet, with higher clocks and a small price bump. But does it deliver real gains, or is it just more hype?
