Zen 3 articles

It's clear that anyone running a first-gen Ryzen CPU should look into upgrading to an affordable Zen 3. But how about Zen 2 owners, like the Ryzen 5 3600? Then it's less obvious what you should do.

The Ryzen 7 6800U is AMD's latest and greatest chip for ultraportables, while the Intel Core i7-1260P is headlining today's powerful thin and light systems based on the Alder Lake architecture.

Here's yet another look at the Ryzen 7 5800X3D with a big 40 game benchmark, but this time we've prepared a shootout against the more affordable and competitive Core i7-12700KF.

The Ryzen 5 5600H is AMD's new mainstream H-series processor aimed at power-oriented budget laptops. Set to replace last year's hit in the R5 4600H, the 5600H brings Zen 3 upgrades to the segment.

In this review we want to see how the Ryzen 5 5600X, Ryzen 7 5800X, Ryzen 9 5900X and 5950X compare in gaming performance using the RTX 3090, RTX 3070, 5700 XT and 5600 XT, using various graphics quality presets at 1080p, 1440p and 4K.

The Ryzen 7 5800H is a solid tune-up of AMD's H-series mobile CPUs designed for performance laptops. We expect the 5800H to be a popular model and will form the backbone of AMD's gaming laptop platform this generation.

IPC performance is a good indicator of a CPU's architecture efficiency, so we're checking out how Zen 3 compares against Intel's 10th-gen Core and AMD's progress with Ryzen over the past three years.
