When I try to think back to when I became aware of how PCs worked, my memories go back to a few key points. I knew how important it was that my family get a 486 computer. I also remember all those commercials for Intel's Pentium chips. And then, suddenly...
We were curious to see how well a cheap B350 motherboard could run the latest and greatest 12-core, 24-thread Ryzen 9 3900X and were pleasantly surprised that there was no smoke, or sparks flying — it just works. Actually, I'm impressed with how well thi...

Abstract: For those wondering if upgrading your RAM to higher frequency DIMMs is worthwhile when moving to AMD X570 and a new Zen 2 processor like the Ryzen 9 3900X, here are some reference benchmarks at different frequencies while maintaining the same timings.In c...
Abstract: The buildup to AMD's launch party for its Ryzen 3000 CPUs, aka third gen Ryzen, aka Zen 2, has been huge. And if that's not enough, AMD is also launching the Radeon RX 5700 family of GPUs today. But Zen 2 is the more interesting I think, and the Ryzen 300...

Great Performance, Relatively Low Power, Many Overclocking Options, Improved IPC and Latency, Competitive Pricing
Higher Idle Power, Wide X570 Pricing, Single-Thread Still Just Behind Intel
Performance versus Intel is more of a mixed bag, but the Ryzen 3000 series still looks strong. Single-thread performance is roughly on-par with Intel's Coffee Lake based Core i9-9900K, depending on the workload. Although it is tight, Intel still has a sma...

Zen 2 is finally here, and these new Ryzen processors fulfill much of the promise of the next generation of AMD CPUs on 7nm. So far we have tested the Ryzen 7 3700X and Ryzen 9 3900X, and both make a compelling case if you're looking to upgrade or build u...

So as compelling as the performance is for the AMD 3700X/3900X, if you are a Linux user wanting to run a bleeding-edge distribution you may want to hold off on purchasing this new hardware until hearing more on Phoronix. But if you want to use the likes o...
At the outset, we offer our profound gratitude to AMD for offering backwards compatibility for its 3rd generation Ryzen processors on motherboards that were designed way back in 2016. Motherboard designers back then would not have anticipated CPU core co...

Abstract: It's finally time to review AMD's new 3rd-gen Ryzen processors. On hand today we have the Ryzen 9 3900X and Ryzen 7 3700X, with more content to come in the next few days. AMD decided to release and lift the review embargo on both Zen 2 and Radeon Navi at...
The one company that keeps amazing me over the past two years has been AMD, they've gone so deep, and slowly but at a very steady pace have been crawling back to the top. Ryzen series 1000 was innovative, Ryzen series 2000 has been good and Ryzen series 3...
