The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D has become the highest-ranked processor from Team Red on UserBenchmark in terms of average bench. However, this still leaves the Ryzen 7 5800X3D in the somewhat lowly position of 15th place, as the highly criticized benchmark rates Alder Lake and some Rocket Lake chips as better.

One-netbook has begun selling a Ryzen 7 5800U version of the ONEXPLAYER, its 8.4-inch gaming handheld. The Ryzen 7 5800U edition comes with 16 GB of RAM and up to 2 TB of storage, plus the same 1600p display as other full-sized ONEXPLAYERs.

AYA NEO has confirmed that its next gaming handheld will be smaller than a Nintendo Switch OLED. The AYA NEO OLED will be a touch heavier than Nintendo's most recent device, but it will still weigh less than 500 g. Unfortunately, the weight and space-saving will come at a significant performance cost, even compared to current AYA NEO devices.

Buying an MSI Bravo 15? Make sure to distinguish between the "A" series and "B" series so you'll know exactly what you're getting. The newest 2022 model is worse than the older one in a lot of aspects.

According to a WCCFTech report, MSI will soon be releasing a BIOS update for select X570 motherboards, enabling BCLK overclocking. This would allow power users to push clocks on the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, albeit at the cost of systemwide stability.

Intel Alder-Lake will soon arrive in many laptops models. The focus of the new platform is the performance of the new CPUs - but the efficiency is worrying. New spec sheets with battery life numbers from Lenovo indicate that laptops with the 2022 Intel platform might have worse battery life than their predecessors.

AMD’s new Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U and Ryzen 5 PRO 6650U have turned up on PassMark and have produced impressive results that shine a very positive light on the latest Zen 3+ offerings. Both Ryzen 6000 chips, built for use in thin and light laptops, outpaced the Intel Core i7-1260P, with the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U looking particularly strong.

Reportedly, AMD plans to release next-generation APUs with Zen 4 cores and double the CUs that it currently offers in the Radeon 680M. While tipped to remain on the RDNA 2 architecture, the iGPUs are expected to deliver enough performance to serve as alternatives to entry-level discrete GPUs.

The new ZenBook S 13 OLED is powered by AMD's Ryzen 7 6800U APU with Radeon 680M integrated graphics and features 16 GB of LPDDR5-6400 RAM with 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD storage, while the Intel-based Pro 15 Flip OLED convertible integrates a Core i7-12700H processor coupled with 16 GB LPDDR5-4800 and 1 TB of PCIe 3.0 SSD storage, plus an ARC A370M dGPU.

AMD has silently unveiled the Radeon RX 6400 graphics card for US$159. It features 4 GB of 16 Gbps GDDR6 VRAM on a 64-bit bus, 12 compute units and a boost clock of 2,321 MHz. It will hit shelves starting today (April 20), with prices starting at US$159.

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.

AMD Radeon RX 6400 will go on sale on April 20. This hasn't stopped NVX System Integrators from selling the card in Singapore. What's more interesting however is the price that the MSI RX 6400 AERO ITX is going for.

The new BOX-5000 mini PCs are powered by AMD's Ryzen 7 5800U, Ryzen 5 5600U and Ryzen 3 5400U APUs that can be coupled with up to 64 GB of DDR4-3200 RAM and a combo of NVMe + SATA3 storage solutions. There is support for 4X 4K video outputs and ASRock includes an M.2 module that adds Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity.

The AMD Radeon RX 6600M is an entry-level card in HP's gaming laptop. In the Omen, it meets an unrestrained Ryzen 7 that shows what it is capable of. The system looks convincing in combination with the QHD display, even if the weaknesses cannot be ignored.

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D outperformed the Intel Core i9-12900K in several AAA games tested at 1080p. Other test system components included DDR4 3,200 MT/s CL14 RAM and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti.

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.

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.

Still compatible with full-size video cards thanks to an external mounting dock, the MINISFORUM B550 only supports up to 65 W TDP processors. The configurations available for pre-order start at US$499, the price of the barebone variant with a Ryzen 7 4700G processor. The retail package will include the expansion dock for an external GPU.

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.
