AMD Ryzen 3000 series has a processor for everyone (Proactive)edit
For the longest time, Intel has enjoyed a monopoly of sorts when it comes to Laptop processors. The few AMD powered machines we did see were mostly grossly underpowered laptops, usually created with the sole aim of making the machine affordable. Advanced Micro Devices or AMD as we all have come to know the company has fast pivoted from that state of things. AMD’s Ryzen processors have quickly been gaining favour with OEMs and customers alike. This has allowed AMD’s chips to infiltrate more segments than before.

AMD’s Ryzen 3000 CPUs Don’t Reach Advertised Boost Clocks Even Under Liquid Coolingedit
There is something very wrong with AMD’s Ryzen 3000 clock speeds. Whether it’s temp throttling, power, poor binning, or a combination of those three, few 3rd Gen Ryzen parts are reaching their advertised speeds at stock settings. The folks over at Tom’s Hardware tried to see what would happen with liquid nitrogen cooling: At -180 degrees Celsius, where the temperature is obviously no longer a potential factor. What they found was shocking.

Best CPU for Gaming: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X – Price: Rs. 29,475 (Link) – Cores/Threads: 8/16 – Base Clock: 3.6 GHz – Boost Clock: 4.4 GHz – Cache Size: 36 MB – TDP: 65 Watt – The Ryzen 7 3700X is one of the best gaming CPUs around. While the 3600X performs on par with it in 1080p and 1440p, the 3700X pulls ahead in 4K performance. This is also the reason why we opted for this instead of the 9700K. With 8 cores and best-in-class multi-threaded performance, the 3700X offers unmatched value as compared to any other CPU on the market.

ASUS Rolls Out ROG Crosshair VIII Impact – Not Strictly Mini-ITXedit
ASUS over the past week rolled out its flagship socket AM4 motherboard for SFF gaming PC builds, the ROG Crosshair VIII Impact. Based on the AMD X570 chipset and supporting the latest 3rd generation Ryzen processors, this board is slightly longer than the Mini-ITX specification, while retaining its mount-hole layout. The logic here is that most ITX gaming PC cases have two expansion slots to accommodate dual-slot graphics cards, and so it would make sense to extend the motherboard’s PCB up until there, reclaiming precious PCB real-estate.

New Nvidia Shield TV Gets Closer To The Launch, Passes Through Bluetooth SIG Certificationedit
Nvidia makes the best Android TV-based media streaming devices, hands down. The first version of the Shield TV was launched in early 2015, and then it received a spec bump in 2017 in the form of a more powerful Tegra X1 processor but dropped the microSD card slot and the IR receiver. Now, the company seems ready to launch a newer version of the Shield TV in not one but two variants, if recent reports are anything to go by. We managed to find a recent Bluetooth SIG certification listing that mentions an upcoming Shield TV, and we think that the media streaming device is very close to its launch.
