Abstract: Its hard to believe considering we just finished up an Intel launch, but it is already time to check out Intel’s next launch. Kaby Lake was launched at the beginning of this year and the Mainstream lineup of CPUs is getting refreshed with Coffee Lake and Z370. This is the 8th generation of Intel’s Core processors going back to the original launch back in 2006...
Well, the Ryzen 7 launch has a surprising amount of excitement and drama mixed together with the impressive numbers but with memory issues and game performance causing very polarized opinions on social media and on websites like Reddit. AMD fans even...

Abstract: Though there are still some hotly anticipated titles due in 2016, we might already have the game of the year on our hands. Overwatch has been on our radar for a while now but it recently blew up in a big way with an open beta that attracted over 9 million...
Great Multithreaded performance, Reasonable increase to single thread performance (via increase clock speeds), Unlocked multiplier
High TDP, Excessive core temps, Motherboard VRMs end up working hotter as well
This is essentially a factory overclocked FX chip that will offer some very reasonable performance with applications that benefit from multiple threads. DirectX 12 makes this chip a much more compelling option for those who don't have expensive electri...

Can be overclocked. Ideal for optimized media-crunching tasks. Price is reasonable.
Still lags in single-core tests. Uses much more power than comparable Intel chips, which also have on-chip graphics. Limited motherboard support and extra cooling costs
The AMD FX-9590 is an eight-core, overclock-ready processor that offers some of the best performance available, provided you have the requisite hardware....
8 cores, Good Performance, Beats i54670 in most tests
The FX8370 might be a better value, Still using old cores
AMD has long controlled the value portion of the sub-$200 processor market. Though the FX series is the latest iteration, the Phenom and Phenom-II processors before it also held down an excellent price to performance ratio, demonstrating the viability o...
Reasonably priced, Unlocked for overclocking, Excels at optimized media-crunching tasks
High power requirements mean limited motherboard support and extra cooling costs, Still lags in single-core tests, Uses much more power than comparable Intel chips, which also have on-chip graphics
With its high clock speed and eight cores, the FX-9590 is undoubtedly the fastest AMD-based consumer processor you can buy—and its price is now much more palatable. But unless you've already got robust liquid cooling to keep it properly chilled, you'll p...
