CES 2019 Recap: Zen 2 (AMD’s 3rd Generation Ryzen)

With the madness of CES week more or less out of the way, I take a look at what was announced about the 3rd generation of Ryzen CPUs!

The Sharks and Whales Update

AMD has released two new 2nd-generation Threadripper CPUs (the TR 2920X and the TR 2970WX).

The Big Fish and Small Fries Update

Intel i9-9900k

There are new high-end CPUs available from Intel, and new low-end CPUs available from AMD. And we’ve taken a look at both!

Adding the TR 2950X (and a Few Extra Details)

Greetings!

Major Change:

The recently-available-for-purchase TR 2950X easily and smoothly replaces the TR 1950X in our Extremist tier. The 1920X stays put till the 2920X get released (rumoured to be in October). If the 2950X has not been released in your country, then the 1950X will remain till it is available.

Building a PC with the AMD Threadripper 2950X

With the launch of the 2nd-generation Threadripper 2950X, we of course had to look at what would make a balanced PC with this 16-core beast!

AMD are coming out swinging, and they’re out for Intel’s blood with the flagship Threadripper 2990WX! With a bonkers 32 cores and 64 threads, this is not a CPU for the casual gamer; it’s a workstation powerhouse, designed for when multi-core performance is king.

AMD’s New Ryzen+ R5 2600 and R5 2600X vs. Intel’s i5-8600

With the launch of the new Ryzen+ R5 CPUs comes the age-old debate once again: which is better, AMD or Intel?

AMD’s New Ryzen+ R7 2700X vs. Intel’s i7-8700K

It’s time for a big ol’ showdown as the shiny new flagship CPU of the Ryzen platform, the Ryzen 7 2700X, goes head-to-head with Intel’s high-end 8th-generation offering, the i7-8700K. We’ve got some big heavy hitters here, so let’s get into it!

AMD Ryzen 5 2400G and Ryzen 3 2200G vs. Intel and Nvidia

Last year was an amazing one for AMD, with the company releasing a slew of extremely successful new CPUs based on the Zen architecture. This year is getting off to a decent start as well—with a new line of Ryzen CPUs with integrated Vega graphics processors (the R3 2200G and R5 2400G) being launched earlier this week. In this article, we will look at how well these freshly released processors fare against Intel’s integrated graphics, Nvidia’s low-budget GT 1030, and AMD’s own earlier APU integrated graphics.

GPU Pricing Insanity: What Will Logical Increments Do?

After some very brief relief around the 2017 holidays, graphics card prices continue on the path of going absolutely insane.

We had a cryptocoin-induced inflation back in late 2013, but it was somewhat mild, and only lasted a couple of months. We had a second inflation in 2017, where the price hikes were higher, and lasted more than half a year. When this ended in December 2017, I thought: “Thank goodness that is over. Nothing could have been as bad as that!”

I was so naive, so wrong.

In short, there is not much we can do about graphics cards prices other than continue to recommend the best graphics cards at each price point. However, we want to be realistic about how bad the situation has gotten.
