AMD’s 3rd Gen Ryzen 3000 CPUs come with an unbelievable price-performance ratio and an impressively low TDP of 65W for the mid-range parts and 105W for the higher-end Ryzen 9 (and the 3800X). However, when it comes to overclocking, most of the chips barely budge higher than their rated frequencies under normal conditions, something many enthusiasts have been pissed off about.

3rd Gen AMD Ryzen Threadripper 64 Core CPU & Intel Cascade Lake-X CPUs Coming in Octoberedit
It looks like the CPU war between AMD and Intel is set to move from the mainstream consumer space to the HEDT market. This means more cores and even more threads, aimed at workstations and small scale servers. From Intel, you can expect the Cascade Lake-X lineup and from AMD, the much-awaited 64 core Threadripper (possibly) based on the 7nm node. Whether it’ll leverage the Zen 2 cores or the older Zen+ design is still not clear.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Coming Soon?edit
NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 16 series lineup is highly competitive and forced AMD to further drop the prices of the Polaris based RX 580 and 590, however, the lower-end RX 570 stood strong against the GTX 1650, making it hard to recommend the latter at higher prices. At the time, we had reported that there won’t be a Ti variant, but it seems like NVIDIA has decided to release it after all.

Intel Core i9-9900KS to be Faster than Ryzen 7 3800X, Compete with Ryzen 9 3900X @ $499 (Estimate)edit
A while back, we saw the first Geekbench scores of the Intel Core i9-9900KS where it seemed to perform worse than its non-S variant, the 9900K. The Ryzen 7 3800X was also able to beat it in the multi-threaded bench with a marginal delta in the SC test. As I expected, that CPU wasn’t tested under proper conditions, hence the dismal performance.

‘India’s strength in AI is the amount of data available’edit
In general, I would say it is similar to what is happening globally. Maybe it will take a little longer for various reasons, but we have to build up on the strength that India has. And one of the main thing is the amount of data that is available. Intel India is the second-biggest R&D for Intel. The number of AI start-ups in India… that is all giving a lot of hope. I wouldn’t say India is different from the AI revolution that is happening; it is a part of it.
