It’s been a while since AMD started pummeling Intel in the CPU market. It started with the first-gen Ryzen lineup, and only intensified with the introduction of the Zen+ processors and the 14nm shortage only made it worse for Intel. The newly introduced Ryzen 3000 chips should make another big dent in blue team’s fortunes. June was the last month before the Zen 2 chips hit the market, and we expect another major wave of migration towards red processors in the coming months.

If you desire a higher clock speed in your CPU but don’t mind a slightly higher power consumption, look for a processor whose model number ends with “U”. The U series of Intel’s Core series CPUs is the most popular amongst Thin and Light models in the market. Look for Intel CPU models such as Core i3-8145U, Core i5-8265U, and Core i7-8565U. If you prefer AMD instead, get a model with the latest Ryzen 3 or Ryzen 5 processor.

In a recent submission to the Final Fantasy XV Benchmark database, upcoming new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super GPU has been benchmarked. The new submission is coming just a few days before the Super series officially launches. On benchmark’s tests, RTX 2070 Super has scored 7479 points at 1440p resolution on high quality settings, which is almost 12% increase from previous generation 2070, which scored 6679. The performance seem to be attributed to increased CUDA core count, which is rumored to increase about 11%, making the result seem pretty realistic.
