Intel's bargain Pentium G4560 remains a tough thorn in AMD's side
Lack of iGPU compared to Intel competitors may limit some possible applications or troubleshooting approaches
Abstract: There's never been a better time to buy a processor for under $125. AMD's latest processors have shaken up the low-cost landscape, so now you can find quad-core models with gaming-capable integrated graphics for a mere $100. Intel's response has brought h...
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...

The Ryzen 3 1300X might not be the best performing processor on paper, but it's still an unquestionable deal. For $20 less than the price of the Intel Core i3-7350K, you're getting a processor that performs almost just as well. What's more, those two extr...

In Ryzen 3, AMD has delivered another strong addition to its current mainstream CPU line-up that reduces the cost of entry to the enticing AM4 platform. Giving budget-conscious buyers a true quad-core CPU with modern architecture and a strong upgrade path...
Ultimately what we have is a familiar scenario with both Ryzen 3 CPUs that has played out in both the Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 ranges too. The X-edition CPU - in this case the Ryzen 3 1300X, is definitely the one to go for if you plan to run it at stock speed...

So, we now have our favourite budget gaming CPU. AMD have continued their approach of bringing more cores into more affordable price points, giving the 1300X the same core configuration as the pricier Core i5 range of Intel desktop processors. In turn, th...

If you're building a gaming system or office rig on a tighter budget, this is a good fit for the job. Even if you're building a smaller HTPC, or spare gaming rig, it seems like a good “project” CPU and I think it's going to have big appeal. For me, the Ry...
The introduction of a couple of Ryzen 3 processors provides PC enthusiasts with the opportunity of buying into the latest Zen architecture from as little as £100, with AMD targetting the £500-£750 base-unit market through a combination of these chips alli...

In our testing, Ryzen 3 has thrown up some dramatically interesting results, and when you consider the updates and optimisations AMD has made since the release of the Ryzen family, it is understandable. Price to compete against the i3 7300 and the i3 7100...
