AMD Ryzen 9 7950X Review: The New Performance King
The Ryzen 9 7950X is the new performance king and the jack of all trades, apart from maybe power consumption and pricing, of course. The Zen 4 flagship can do everything exceptionally well.

We've got to admit that when we purchased these cheap 8GB DDR5-4800 memory sticks, we did so expecting them to be pretty bad and much slower than our DDR4-3200 memory in most instances. But, surprise...
The GeForce GTX 1080 was released back in 2016, so six years later the RTX 3050 arrived at half the price. After many years and multiple GPU generations, can 2022's $300 GeForce GPU beat 2016's $600 GPU?
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.
We're revisiting Intel's locked Alder Lake CPUs with a sneak peak of a motherboard that's capable of overclocking non-K CPUs like the Core i5-12400 to make it up to 50% faster in games.
AMD claims a new Radeon Preview driver boosts DX11 performance, to find out what's the real deal, we've tested the latest driver release in 50 games using the Radeon RX 6700 XT.
Making CPU cores faster rather than adding more cores is the best way to boost PC gaming performance. That's why AMD has supercharged their 8-core, 16-thread CPU to create the Ryzen 7 5800X3D with 3D V-cache.
Now that GPU prices are taking a breather and hopefully we'll see more accessible graphics cards moving forward, let's take an updated look at the battle between the GeForce RTX 3070 and Radeon RX 6700 XT.
In this roundup we have 8 new Intel B660 motherboards that go for from $150 to $250. Spoiler alert: We're looking at a hefty 70% performance difference between the fastest and slowest B660 boards using fast CPU.
The Core i9-12900HK is Intel's most recent and fastest CPU for laptops. In this review we'll be pitting it up against a range of other mobile chips, including the beast that is the Apple M1 Pro.
A close look at memory scaling performance with Intel Core 12th-gen CPUs, to help you choose the best DDR4 and DDR5 memory kits for Alder Lake.
As a follow up to our feature on how CPU cores and cache impact gaming performance, we're testing different Intel 12th-gen Core Alder Lake CPUs configurations to see how fast those P-Cores and E-Cores really are.
Today we're taking a look at CPU performance in Battlefield 2042 and this may well be the most difficult benchmark we've ever done. But we've succeeded and tested 20+ configurations into a 128-player conquest match.
After reviewing all 12th-gen Intel Core CPUs, today we're taking a look at how these new processors compare when using Windows 10 and Windows 11, plus Windows 11 running VBS (Virtualization-Based Security).
Battlefield 2042 recently debuted with very impressive visuals, so we'll take the opportunity to measure graphics card performance, so you can get an idea of what you'll need to get into the action.
The Core i5-12600K is Intel's latest mainstream CPU and a direct competitor to AMD's popular Ryzen 5 5600X. The Alder Lake chip packs 6 P-cores and 4 E-cores for a total of 16 threads.
