AMD Ryzen 9 3900X and Ryzen 7 3700X Review (Proactive)edit
Going up against a competitor as big and well known as Intel must be hugely daunting, but AMD has pulled off a surprising series of victories after starting from scratch with its first-generation Zen architecture in 2017. The company has slowly begun regaining trust and market share across desktop PCs, laptops, workstations, and servers, though it still has a long way to go. Zen has been a huge turnaround for AMD, but can the company use it as a base on which to build itself back up for the long term?

AMD’s Radeon VII and Vega Cards Reportedly Reach End-of-Life Statusedit
This is surprising news considering the Radeon VII is not even 6 months old at this point. Meanwhile, the Vega 56 and 64 have been on the market for a while but thanks to the cryptocurrency craze were selling for crazy high prices. Thankfully, these prices have now dropped significantly and these two GPUs can be found for really cheap.

AMD Zen 5 Microarchitecture for Next-Gen Ryzen CPUs Spotted on LinkedIn Profileedit
AMD just released the 7nm Ryzen 3000 CPUs based on the Zen 2 microarchitecture which has been giving Intel’s flagship chips quite a bit of trouble. However, it seems that team red isn’t slowing down anytime soon. The Zen 3 design has already been finalized while Zen 4 and Zen 5 are being worked upon. The LinkedIn profile of AMD’s chip architect, David Suggs further corroborates this.

AMD Ryzen 3000 CPUs Offer Smoother Gaming Performance than Older Intel Chipsedit
One of Intel’s core strengths has been lead the company’s CPUs have held in gaming, mainly due to higher IPCs which result in better single-core performance ultimately leading to higher frame rates. The delta has significantly reduced with Ryzen 3000 as the Zen 2 chips tout an IPC uplift of 16-20% across various applications, gaming included. AMD Game Cache which essentially is beefed up L3 cache also helps in elevating frame rates by a notable margin.

ASUS Begins Enabling Limited PCIe Gen 4.0 on AMD 400-series Chipset Motherboardsedit
ASUS believes that PCI-Express gen 4.0 support on older socket AM4 motherboards based on the AMD 400-series chipset is technically possible, even if discouraged by AMD. The company’s latest series of motherboard BIOS updates that expose PCIe Gen 4 toggle in the PCIe settings, does in fact enable PCIe gen 4.0 to all devices that are directly wired to the SoC. These would be the PCI-Express x16 slots meant for graphics, and one of the M.2 slots that has PCIe x4 wiring to the SoC.
