AMD Radeon Navi 14 GPU Almost 50% Faster than the RX 570 in CompuBenchedit
The RDNA powered Radeon RX 5700 GPUs mark AMD’s return to the performance segment of the graphics card market after a noted absence from the scene. The 7nm Navi cards provide stiff competition to NVIDIA’s lower-end RTX Super cards all the while being cheaper. Sure, they lack the RTCores that the Turing architecture leverages for ray-tracing, but for now, that won’t be a big issue as there aren’t many RTX based games in the market.
AMD Ryzen 5 3500 Specs and 3DMark Physics Score: New Budget Gaming CPU?edit
Apparently, the AMD Ryzen 5 3500 is a real thing. We’d covered a European Economic Union listing of the supposed 3rd gen Ryzen part earlier. But today, famous industry insider TUM_APISAK revealed just a bit more information about the midrange processor.
AMD Comes Out Swinging With New Graphics Cards — The Motley Fooledit
Advanced Micro Devices finally took the wraps off its first Navi-based graphics cards at E3 earlier this week. The Radeon RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT, set to launch on July 7 along with AMD’s third-gen Ryzen PC CPUs, will go after the mid- to high-end portion of the graphics card market.

Hot Chips 2019: The Hottest and Biggest Yetedit
There were two keynotes at this year’s Hot Chips conference, one given by AMD’s CEO, Lisa Su, and the other by TSMC’s Research VP, Philip Wong. Both touched on Moore’s Law, but while Su talked about how applications need to go beyond Moore’s Law, TSMC’s Wong committed that Moore’s Law is not dead (for transistor density, at least). Su contended that leading-edge silicon costs continue to increase, which is why AMD transitioned to its chiplet strategy.
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X vs Intel Core i7-9700K: Upgrade Path, Productivity, Overclocking, Cooling, Gaming, Streaming, Power Draw and Priceedit
Processor is the remarkable piece of PC hardware. It takes charge on processing your data in split seconds while you are enjoying productivity and gaming performance. In 2019, processor chips made the biggest swing in the area of high performance computing. One of the noticeable historic launch was AMD’s Ryzen 3000 series based on 7nm technology.
AMD hints at how RDNA could beat Qualcomm’s Adreno GPUedit
Back in June, Samsung and AMD announced a strategic partnership to bring AMD’s “Next Gen” GPU architecture to mobile devices. More recently, AMD has published a whitepaper on its latest RDNA microarchitecture. The paper reveals plenty about how AMD’s high-end RX 5700 graphics card works and alludes to future low-power designs too.
Can AMD’s new RX 5700 XT graphics card topple the Nvidia RTX 2070?edit
At E3 2019, AMD revealed not only its full stack of Ryzen 3000 CPUs, but also its new-generation of “Navi” graphics cards, now known as the RX 5700 series. Based on a new RDNA architecture and built on a 7nm process node, just like AMD new-generation CPUs, the RX 5700 series is the most advanced line of graphics cards AMD has ever released. At the top of the line is the RX 5700 XT, the flagship of that range with some serious performance capabilities.
Alleged Leaked Details on Intel Comet Lake-S Platform Require… You Guessed It… A New Platformedit
Intel’s development of their Core architecture in the post-Ryzen world has been slow, with solutions slowly creeping up in core counts with every new CPU release – but much slowly than rival AMD’s efforts. Before Intel can capitalize on a new, more scalable and power-efficient architecture, though, it has to deliver performance and core count increases across its product line to stay as relevant as possible against a much revitalized rival.

Best Gaming PC Build Under Rs. 50,000 in Indiaedit
The midrange segment is where the majority of gamers look towards when building a gaming PC. We’ll be handpicking the best components required to build a budget PC for 1080p gaming under 40,000 INR. This PC should be able to push as much as 75 FPS at FHD and as much as 100 FPS in eSports titles. To ensure that, we’ll need ample graphics processing power as well as a CPU that doesn’t bottleneck performance.
