Abstract: While AMD EPYC processors offer phenomenal performance at the high-end for servers with up to 64 cores / 128 threads per socket, eight memory channels, and other features, not all server deployments call for such capabilities. In the lower-end dedicated w...

Abstract: In reviewing the Core i5-12400, there's nothing on paper that tells you this could be an amazing CPU. After all, it's mostly a heavily cut down 12600K, which we've already looked at. And yet, in my opinion, this is one of the most exciting CPUs to be rele...
AMD and Intel are the two significant players going strong in the current CPU market. While Intel had the undisputed lead throughout the 2010s, the situation might have changed the direction in the past few years. But when the Ryzen CPUs first came out in...
