We don't think this comparison calls for any further analysis. It's evidently clear that if you want to build a budget gaming PC, investing in a quad core to save even $50 is not worth it. You will have to deal with frame stuttering in a number of more de...

That was our quick look at how the Ryzen 5 1600 AF performs and the results were as positive as we expected. It's a Ryzen 5 2600 with very minor reduction in clock speed. Speaking of which, you can of course overclock the 1600 AF as it's fully unlocked. O...

We've have a pretty good look at application and game performance. As expected Intel's faster in games for the most part, while AMD's faster for most of the heavy workloads we tested, that being the situation this is how I look at it. Even with a GTX 1080...

The R3 2200G offers highly competitive performance at its price and, ultimately, really has no immediate competition. At $100, the CPU offers 78-85% of the performance of the R5 2400G at 58% of the price. Not bad at all. We can strongly recommend the R3 2...

If you have read our review of the Ryzen 7 1700 from earlier this year you know that we complained at how untested and unstable the Ryzen platform really was at launch. I think that most people who reviewed or purchased Ryzen parts right when the platform...
