Abstract: AMD renewed competition in the CPU space back in 2017, when its Zen-based Ryzen processors stormed the scene a couple months earlier than originally anticipated. These processors combined good enough single-threaded performance with many core architecture...
The Ryzen 9 3900X remains the fastest processor in our bench even with SMT disabled, beating the Core i9-9900K across multi-threaded tests. It also beats an untouched Ryzen 7 3700X. It's settled, then, that 12 physical cores beat 8-core/16-thread. Howeve...

Abstract: A battle that needs no further introduction, we're pitting the new Ryzen 9 3900X head to head against the Core i9-9900K in 36 games. There's loads of results to go over and this article is solely focused on PC gaming performance. For more context on the c...
Abstract: Most of our readers know that the vast majority of PC games are designed for your mainstream 4-8 core processors. As the processor manufacturers have been rapidly increasing core counts that hasn't directly translated into better performance. When AMD fir...
Abstract: I noticed a number of sites and channels are reporting that the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-core, 24-thread processor can be run at full clock speeds with just 1.00V on the CPU VCore. That sounds pretty damn impressive and I just had to give it a try here to see...
Abstract: Last week AMD Ryzen 3000 series desktop processors based on the Zen 2 architecture finally came to market. AMD launched six new desktop processors of which five are available today. Of the processors that are out today they range in price between $199 to...

For running stock the Ryzen 9 3900X doesn't need a big cooler strapped on for maximum performance and it certainly doesn't require liquid cooling. Even when enabling PBO you won't gain much more performance by upgrading the cooler. We're not saying you sh...

When I try to think back to when I became aware of how PCs worked, my memories go back to a few key points. I knew how important it was that my family get a 486 computer. I also remember all those commercials for Intel's Pentium chips. And then, suddenly...
