AMD Ryzen 5000 processors are continuously dropping in price. At Micro Center, the 16-core Ryzen 9 5950X is going for US$520 which is US$280 cheaper than the launch MSRP of US$800. Although still discounted, prices on other retailers are above the ones offered by Micro Center.

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X has been benchmarked in PassMark’s test suite for both single-thread performance and overall CPU Mark. The new Zen 3 Ryzen 7 5700X churned out respectable results that put it on a similar level to the Intel Core i5-12600K but at a much lower power cost than the hybrid rival.

Even though Intel was first to market with the Alder Lake DDR5 implementation, the performance gains over the DDR4 did not wow anyone, as the DDR5-4800 modules are barely faster than DDR4-3200, and the memory controllers add too much latency at higher frequencies. AMD wants to tackle this problem for the upcoming Zen 4 processors by introducing improved overclocking features.

One of AMD's board partners has taken another step towards releasing the Radeon RX 6750 XT, one of three mid-generation refreshes that are expected to launch next month. The Radeon RX 6750 XT will have 12 GB of GDDR6 VRAM and will be sold by PowerColor as a Red Devil graphics card.

The new budget Zen 3 processors from AMD, the Ryzen 5 5600 and Ryzen 5 5500, have made their first appearances on PassMark. Compared to the affordable rival Intel Core i5-12400, the Ryzen 5 5600 and Ryzen 5 5500 produced expected benchmark results. The new additions from Team Red utilize the AM4 microprocessor socket.

The Inspiron 15 3505 shines with low noise levels, slots for two storage drives, and a moderate price. The installed Ryzen 5 APU does not reach its full potential. The battery life is poor.

With the V15 Gen 2 AMD, Lenovo creates quite an upgrade: AMD's hexa-core leaves everything else behind, particularly its predecessor with an Athlon Gold CPU. In addition, the office laptop is now more compact and very light at 1.64 kg (~3.6 lb). The stability is acceptable and the keyboard good. Unfortunately, the FHD display uses outdated technology.

Retailers are slowly but surely starting to offer more and more sales that result in reasonable prices for very capable graphics cards like AMD's Radeon RX 6800, which has now dropped to a new low price under the US$800 mark.

The Ryzen 7 5800X3D is marginally faster and sometimes even slower than the 5800X when it comes to synthetic benchmarks like Geekbench, CPU-Z and Cinebench, but the processor really shines in games where it manages to outperform even the top-of-the-line Alder Lake desktop models from Intel.

The high-end AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT GPU can finally be had in certain markets at MSRP levels. The recommended US price tag for the RX 6900 XT is US$999, but it has rarely been seen at that price point as scalpers and retailers have taken advantage of sky-high graphics card prices over the last couple of years.

One-netbook has introduced a new version of the ONEXPLAYER mini globally. The ONEXPLAYER mini with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800U starts at US$999 and is available with 512 GB, 1 TB or 2 TB of storage. All configurations come with a 1200p display and 16 GB of RAM.

A review by Tom's Hardware of the Ryzen 5 5500 and the Ryzen 5 5600 has shown that the chips fail to dominate their Intel rivals in gaming performance. Both CPUs try to go toe-to-toe with the Intel Core i5-12400 and the Intel Core i3-12100 but come up short, in most scenarios.

The AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT, RX 6750 XT, and RX 6650 XT launch has reportedly been pushed back to May 10. According to the report, the April 2022-bound cards will be unveiled with the entry-level Radeon RX 6400, which also showcases renders of the graphics cards.

A new leak says that the AMD Radeon RX 6300 is in the works. However, end users might not be able to purchase the entry-level graphics card as it will reportedly be launched as an OEM only SKU.

Intel demoed game streaming with hardware-accelerated AV1 video codec that its new ARC graphics chips offer for both encoding and decoding action for the first time on a desktop or laptop GPU. For now, AMD and Nvidia GPUs don't offer native AV1 encoding support, while Intel clearly demonstrates its superiority over the HEVC codec in an Elden Ring game stream demo.

While Samsung's new top smartphone is a tour de force in our test, it also shows some weaknesses. Find out here where exactly the problems lie and why this probably won't really be such a big deal.

A cryptomining computer allegedly running twelve repurposed PS5 chips has been spotted by Twitter user Komachi. The rig looks like it is from ASRock, costs a whopping US$14,800, and has reportedly been designed in collaboration with AMD.

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X has been benchmarked on Geekbench, where it scores 1,634/1,645 and 10,179/10,196 on the single and multi-core test, respectively. It performs on par with the more expensive Ryzen 5800X and could even give the Intel Core i5-12600K a run for its money.

The AMD Ryzen 7000 “Raphael” series is allegedly soon to be in its mass production phase. This has led to speculation in regard to a potential Zen 4 release date, which could excitingly end up being close to the rumored launch window for Intel’s Raptor Lake processors. AMD would likely benefit more by beating Intel to market.

GPD has unveiled the Win Max 2, a large gaming handheld with a built-in keyboard. Not only will GPD sell the Win Max 2 with the Intel Core i7-1280P, but it will also be available with an AMD Ryzen 7 6800U that has the Radeon 680M. The Win Max 2 has a 2.5K display and LPDDR5 RAM too.

Lenovo's ThinkPad T14s G2 AMD is more than just a quiet premium business ultrabook with long battery life. It offers almost workstation-like levels of performance in a typical ThinkPad case that no longer attracts fingerprints. And while key travel was reduced to a still decent 1.5 mm we continue to find the same old 16:9 display format. Fortunately, for the first time in its history the T14s now comes with a 4K display option with 100 % DCI-P3 coverage.

The AMD Ryzen 7000 series of desktop chips will allegedly challenge Intel Raptor Lake might by utilizing more power as opposed to more cores. A leaker has claimed that the top-end Ryzen 9 processor in the Zen 4-based Raphael series will stick to the familiar 16-core/32-thread configuration but offer performance gains via 170 W TDP.

AMD admits that switching from spatial to temporal upscaling can be a bit more taxing on the GPUs, but the new FSR 2.0 upscaler should work even on Nvidia's GTX 16-series with good results. Team Red also reveals that FSR 2.0 implementation is fastest on games that already include DLSS 2.0 support.

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D has made its first Geekbench appearance, and it manages to score 1,663 and 11,250 on the single and multi-core test. Its performance is nearly identical to its non-3D variant, but that is to be expected, as Geekbench can't take full advantage of the extra L3 cache the CPU has to offer.

The Ryzen Pro series is targeting enterprise customers. With the past 2021 generation, only chips based on the newest "Cezanne" platform were sold under the Ryzen Pro label. Lucienne was only meant for consumers. With the 2022 AMD CPUs, things are changing, as the Cezanne refresh Barcelo will be released with Ryzen Pro variants - with the Ryzen 7 Pro 5875U as the top-of-the-line model.

AMD made great progress in reigniting the CPU wars with its impressive and ongoing Ryzen series of processors. Intel finally caught back up with the release of its 12th Gen Alder Lake parts; however, recent leaks suggest that AMD's Zen 4 Raphael processors could give Alder Lake more than a serious run for the money.

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D is not overclockable, the company's director of technical marketing confirmed in a recent interview. AMD recently revealed the price, US$449, and availability, April 20, of the chip. The company is positioning the chip as a competitor to Intel Core i9-12900K in gaming performance.

FSR 2.0 offers temporal upscaling just like Nvidia's DLSS 2.0, but does not require neural network training so the technology remains open source and compatible with all GPUs on the market. As far as image quality is concerned, FSR 2.0 can be better than native resolution in some cases, but Nvidia's DLSS 2.0 still appears better overall. FSR 2.0 can also boost fps counts significantly (up to 2X compared to native resolution in performance mode).
