Leaks point to upcoming AMD Ryzen 9 3900 with 12 Cores and a 65 Watt TDPedit
AMD seems to be widening its Ryzen product stack. With evidence for more Navi cards mounting, it’s interesting to see a further level of segmentation happening in the processor space, too. A short while ago, we’d reported on the Ryzen 5 3500X. This is a processor (apparently confirmed by a pre-embargo review in China) with six cores and six threads that battles the Intel Core i5-9400F.

16 Core AMD Ryzen 3950X Delayed to November due to Unsatisfactory Clock Speedsedit
Well, there’s some bad news for AMD ultra-enthusiasts. The shipping date for the Ryzen 9 3950X has been pushed back to November. This is something we knew. What’s new is that the reason for the delay has been found to be unsatisfactory clock speeds, not supply-side issues as was earlier reported by industry insiders.

AMD Ryzen 5 3400G Review: An Xbox One Equivalent?edit
Today, we’ll be reviewing the 3rd Gen AMD APU, the Ryzen 5 3400G. Although it was launched alongside the 7nm Zen 2 based CPUs, it uses the older Zen+ cores and essentially shares the same design as the older 2400G based on the 12nm node. So why re-release the same product again. Two reasons, the 7nm process isn’t that mature just yet and as such the chips manufactured using it are more expensive, secondly, releasing a quad-core APU on the same node would possibly cannibalize AMD’s upcoming Ryzen 3 3200 and 3300 processors, giving consumers little reason to buy the latter.

AMD EPYC set to take a 10 percent market share in the Server Market by 2020edit
Here’s good news for AMD. The uptick in Zen 2 core sales hasn’t just been in the relatively low-volume CPU space. We’ve been hearing a lot of news of late about AMD dominating the consumer CPU market with the Ryzen 3000 series. However, this was never a big problem for Intel (and never that great a victory for AMD shareholders either), because the consumer market represents only a fraction of the overall volume of CPUs sold. You as a consumer will probably never see an Intel Xeon CPU unit in your life. But Intel sells way more Xeons to B2B customers than it does Core i parts to consumers.

AMD Radeon RX 5500M and 5300M Benchmarks Outperform NVIDIA’s Budget GPU line-upedit
Over the past few weeks, there have been multiple rumors of AMD’s Navi 12 and Navi 14 Graphics Cards launching soon. Wccftech today revealed the specifications and the benchmarks of the budget-end RX 5500M and the RX 5300M. Both are based on the 7nm process and will offer direct competition to NVIDIA’s budget mobile offerings. While there’s still no info on the desktop GPUs, the mobile graphics cards give us a clear idea regarding the rest of the line-up. Moreover, they will feature GDDR6 memory (which NVIDIA is reportedly adding to the GTX 1660 Super) and feature higher clock speeds.

This Tool Makes the AMD Radeon RX 5700 Perform on Par with the RX 5700 XTedit
Here’s some great news for Navi owners: the Radeon RX 5700 (non XT) is low-key the new Vega 56. And we don’t just mean that it offers decent bang-for-buck. If you recall, when the Vega 56 launched, it was more or less competitive with the GeForce GTX 1070, but a far cry from both the Vega 64 and the GTX 1080. However, power users quickly found out that this had more to do with AMD limiting the card’s power draw and clocks. An overclocked Radeon Vega 56 demolished the GTX 1070 and even gave the GTX 1080 a run for its money.

Highlights of the day: AMD Ryzen processor delay blamed on unsatisfactory clock speedsedit
Last week’s news about TSMC extending 7nm chip production lead time because of strong demand provoked knee-jerk speculation that it was the cause of AMD delaying the launch of its Ryzen 9 3950X. It has turned out that unsatisfactory clock speed – rather than foundry support – has prompted AMD to adjust the design of 16-core processor, according to sources from the motherboard suppy chain. TSMC may be indisputably the leader in the foundry sector, but China-based peers are keen to expand 12-inch fab capacity to better serve the domestic market.

AMD Ryzen 9 3900X (Proactive)edit
The 3rd Gen Ryzen processors have brought about a slew of improvements across the SKU stack. The top SKU at launch, i.e. the Ryzen 9 3900X has 12 cores and a massive L3 cache, uses the same AM4 socket, is compatible with previous gen platforms. The cost, however, has equalled Intel SKUs as both currently sell for about Rs.42K. If we are to compare launch prices, then the Intel Core i9-9900K was selling for Rs.64K in India with barely any stocks available anywhere.
Thanks to AMD, PCIe 4 Has Finally Arrived. But Does It Matter? | Digital Trendsedit
PCIe 4 is finally here. AMD’s upcoming Ryzen 3000 generation of CPUs are backwards compatible with most first and second-generation, 300 and 400 series motherboards. But the 500 series, and more specifically the X570 chipset, introduces some exciting features, including support for PCIe 4.0. But considering graphics cards of today don’t even max out PCIE 3.0, and many of AMD’s flagship X470 motherboards from 2018 actually ran PCIE 2.0, is there really much point to the new standard?
AMD Is Now Selling More GPUs Than Nvidiaedit

That’s according to a new report published by John Peddie Research which details stats about global GPUs shipments in Q2 2019.
Why AMD powered laptops are a rage in 2019?edit
In the market for a top-notch laptop? We’re sure you must be at a crossroad. After all, it is a life-changing decision! A buyer is often seen picking sides – should they go for a thin and light device or a good gaming one…? Should they get a laptop with a larger display or smaller one that is easy to carry? A foldable one with touch screen or traditionally styled one… Questions there are aplenty! Such choices make it difficult for anyone to pick the right system. However, when it comes to picking the right processor, one simply cannot go for something that doesn’t meet your needs.

Why Does More VRAM Matter For A Graphics Card?edit
Adding to that, some games are better optimized for AMD graphics cards while some are better optimized for Nvidia graphics cards. So VRAM usage will differ not only from game to game but different graphics cards as well. Another factor that is worth mentioning is multiple graphics cards. People think that using the same graphics cards in SLI or Crossfire will double the VRAM but that is not the case.

Best Gaming PC Build Under Rs. 50,000 ($500) in 2019 for 60 FPS @ 1080p Ultraedit
For the CPU, I’ll be recommending the 9th Gen Intel Core i5-9400F. A lot of people won’t like the fact that I’m suggesting a blue chip for a budget setup and will complain that a Ryzen 5 2600 should be recommended instead. My reasons are twofold. Firstly, this is a sheer gaming-focused rig where Intel Coffee Lake CPUs are quite a bit superior to the 1st and 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen processors (both cost north of 10K), so it won’t make much sense to shell out another 4-7K on a Zen+ part.

Buying your dream gaming laptop for the lowest price possibleedit
New gaming laptops seldom receive deep discounts during sales. On the other hand, models that have been around for a few months (or years) often get many thousands knocked off their original launch price. To do that, you have to ensure you don’t buy a model that’s too old. If you’re looking to play modern AAA titles on your new machine, ensure the CPU is no older than an Intel 8th Gen Core series line-up or a 2018 AMD Ryzen model and the Nvidia GPU belongs to the GeForce GTX 1600 series.

For the CPU, I’ll be recommending the 9th Gen Intel Core i5-9400F. A lot of people won’t like the fact that I’m suggesting a blue chip for a budget setup and will complain that a Ryzen 5 2600 should be recommended instead. My reasons are twofold. Firstly, this is a sheer gaming-focused rig where Intel Coffee Lake CPUs are quite a bit superior to the 1st and 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen processors (both cost north of 10K), so it won’t make much sense to shell out another 4-7K on a Zen+ part.
