At times there are earthquakes, and at times there are hurricanes. Volcanoes sometimes erupt, and meteors sometimes strike the earth. And when they are in the mood, sometimes AMD releases a 64-core, 128-thread consumer CPU that makes you sit up and wonder if you are in a dream. 64 cores! Sixty (60) four (4) cores […]
AMD has released two new 2nd-generation Threadripper CPUs (the TR 2920X and the TR 2970WX).
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.
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.

Yes, you read that right: Thirty-two cores! Barely 2 years ago, a quad-core was the standard, recommended CPU for most people, and this 2990WX behemoth does not […]
What a time to be alive! Inexpensive CPUs from AMD, which were already great value productivity chips, are now (thanks to the Zen+ announcement at CES 2018) even cheaper! Let’s get into it!
With the Threadripper 1920X and 1950X already added to our recommendations and proving hugely popular with builders, many have wondered: What can do with the 1900X? So, read on to see why many workstation builders are enjoying the cheapest Threadripper CPU
AMD has launched a huge amount of disruptive hardware recently. Here’s the official Logical Increments™ analysis you have all been waiting breathlessly to absorb.
This year is a good one for the AMD CPU department. Starting from March, AMD has been throwing one punch after another at Intel with their Ryzen 7, Ryzen 5, and Ryzen 3 line-up of desktop processors.
