Game Mode and Creator Mode confusion
Confusing settings
Low resolution gaming performance
More power hungry than Intel's rival
Switching profiles requires a full restart
” in the review are so depraved you can not even imagine

I have to slightly disagree with the gaming analysis. Many times the reason RYZEN doesn't perf
Middling single-core performance
Expensive overall system price – £1
200 more than AMD-AMD option
NVIDIA GeForce graphics not validated for professional applications
Behind AMD option for video editing with Adobe applications
Abstract: It's one of the greatest questions of our time: AMD or Intel? Today, that rivalry has entered a new stage of Cinebench taunting as AMD's 2000-series Threadripper processors, commonly known as Threadripper 2, come to market to compete against Intel's Skyla...

For the desktop PC gamer, the higher TDP X models are still the go-to for gaming and general performance though. They're a little faster, and a little more expensive, but you get what you pay for. However, if heat and power are a big concern to you, and t...

I can see the Ryzen 5 2600 and the 2600X fast becoming the most popular chips of the second generation Ryzen launch. They're fast, they're affordable, and they're easy to keep cool and overclock. I mean, if you're just doing a massive amount of rendering...

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...

On the face of it, this head-to-head would appear to be a relatively clear win for the Intel and NVIDIA-based Armari Magnetar S18X-RD850G2 over the all-AMD Armari Magnetar S16T-RW850G2. But look a little more closely and the result is nowhere near as obvi...

PricingAll prices are correct as of 19/08/2017Currently, the AMD Threadripper 1950X is £989.99, not bad given the performance and price per core. Especially so compared to the Intel i9-7900X which is around the same price at £935.38. Dependant on what you...

AMD's Ryzen Threadripper processors are unequivocally fast computational powerhouses. For the first time in many, many years, AMD can justifiably claim to offer the highest performance consumer processor on the planet in the 16-core Ryzen Threadripper 195...
