Two weeks ago Intel introduced the Core i9-14900KS, it became the first processor to achieve a boost clock of 6.2GHz on two cores without requiring overclocking. The Raptor Lake-based CPU, akin to its predecessor the i9-14900K, features a 24-core configuration, comprising 8 performance cores (P-cores) and 16 efficiency cores (E-cores), capable of handling up to 32 threads. It's a beast alright, but not without compromises.

In this review, we'll delve into the Ryzen 7 8700G, a $329 processor that comes equipped with the AMD Radeon 760M integrated graphics processor. This release introduces the first 8000 series for the AM5 socket, although it's important to note that these processors are essentially Zen4/RDNA3 mobile chips repurposed for desktop use. In the 8000G series, AMD has seamlessly combined their latest CPU and GPU architectures, merging Zen4/Zen4c and RDNA3 graphics capabilities. Notably, select models within this series, such as the 8-core Ryzen 7 8700G and 6-core Ryzen 5 8600G, include the XDNA1 Ryzen AI accelerator, offering enhanced performance.

We analyse the Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series processors, in this review, we'll deal with the 32-core/64-threadedThreadripper 7970X, pairedwith a TRX50 motherboard. We'll look at multithreaded performance, but we will not shy away from game performance either.

The ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 17 (G733PYV) is equipped with the 16-core Ryzen 9 7945HX3D processor, which features a nice X3D cache. It also boasts 32GB of DDR5 memory and a mobile GeForce RTX 4090. Technical assessments will provide insights into its performance capabilities, this laptop is bound to express itself in some raw, brutal performance numbers.

Meet the Razer Blade 14: a review of the Laptop Series withAMD's 8-core Ryzen 9 7940HS Zen 4 processors and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 graphics.

We'll be chasing the dragon today as we review the ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 17 (G733P), this laptop is powered by the all-new dragon, the 16-core Ryzen 9 7945HX. Armed with 32GB DDR5 memory and a mobile GeForce RTX 4090, this laptop is bound to express itself in some raw, brutal performance numbers.

In this review, we will delve into the latest offering from AMD - the Ryzen 7 7800 X3D processor. Our analysis will provide you with an in-depth understanding of this cutting-edge technology's features, capabilities, and sure, game performance. By the end of this review, you will have a clear picture of how the Ryzen 7 7800 X3D compares to its predecessors and competitors in the market.

AMD has released its flagship desktop processor, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D, featuring the 3D Vertical Cache technology, which improves gaming performance. The processor holds two 8-core complexes/clusters, one has 64MB X3D cache, the other one has faster cores. We'll disable the core complexes and indicate what 7800X3D is going to offer in the near future.

We review the newRyzen 9 7950X3D processor from AMD. The much-anticipated processor series comes with an added cache that will help predominantly with gaming. This processor series was designed for one thing, bringing AMD closer to Intel's dominant Raptor lake series processors.

AMD also released a Ryzen 9 7900, this 65W non-X model offers absolutely beautiful performance and temperatures. Next to the 7700, this actually might become a best seller in the current Ryzen 7000 product stack.

We check out AMD's new non-X Ryzen 7 7700 series 8-core processor, and it impressed us far more than the original X model.The newer version's performance is superior, and its thermal design power (TDP) rating is significantly more reasonable at 65W. This implies lower temperatures while still reaping the benefits of the Ryzen 7000 architecture.

AMD has released the non-X version of their Ryzen 7000 series processor. The new update isn't intended for extreme performance but is tagged with a far friendlier 65W TDP. And that means better heat levels whilst taking advantage of the Ryzen 7000 platform. In this review, we'll check out the Ryzen 5 7600 with its six cores.

We move from enthusiast to high-end as we review a new Raptor Lake-based CPU; Meet the Intel Core i7 13700K - Processor 3.4 GHz (5.4 GHz). The semi-flagship is bound to impress.

It's been a processor series that has seen leaks, performance reviews and whatnot. But finally today Intel unleashes its new Raptor Lake based CPU architecture; we start with the review of the Core i9 13900K. The new flagship is bound to impress.

Right, you need to check out this Raptor Lake processor; the Core i5 13600K has six performance cores and eight energy-efficient ones. Meaning you'll have plenty of multi-threaded performance, and genuinely excellent gaming performance; this processor manages to impress, big-time.
