For the desktop PC gamer, the higher TDP X models are still the go-to for gaming and general performance though. They're a little faster, and a little more expensive, but you get what you pay for. However, if heat and power are a big concern to you, and t...

I can see the Ryzen 5 2600 and the 2600X fast becoming the most popular chips of the second generation Ryzen launch. They're fast, they're affordable, and they're easy to keep cool and overclock. I mean, if you're just doing a massive amount of rendering...
Which processor now offers the most bang of your buck varies per price segment. If you have a very small budget, in our opinion it is best to find an Intel Pentium G4560, which, given its higher availability, is less of a challenge than it was a few month...

There's a range of advice we can offer to any prospective Ryzen owners. First, the more expensive 1800X is only recommended if you want the fastest possible stock processor, no matter what the cost. Highly clocked out of the box, there's not a huge amount...
Abstract: AMD hadn't just announced a new processor architecture, but the dawning of a new manufacturing process in which the chips would be based on, 14nm which was a first for AMD. Not only was their new 14nm FinFET process to be more energy efficient, but would...

The 1700 may be better value for the enthusiast
If outright gaming performance is what you are looking for when looking at a Ryzen 7 CPU, it is easy to misunderstand what you are looking at. Most games right now aren't optimised for this many CPU threads, and the ones that are will likely show a signif...

Before I started testing this chip I was half-expecting to call out the Ryzen 7 1700X as the unwanted middle child of AMD's new octa-core range, but the more I think about it it's the 1800X that starts to look essentially irrelevant.The 1700X is a genuine...
Lower gaming performance than Intel processors, Poorly optimized software ecosystem
The Ryzen 7 1700X offers a simple path to overclocked performance that matches its more expensive 1800X counterpart. The 1700X lags behind Intel's faster quad-cores in many gaming applications, but offers diverse capabilities in heavy workloads. £3...
