Intel’s finally returned to a more reasonable pricing strategy with its tremendous cuts to Cascade Lake X pricing. While these parts are still more or less respun variants of Skylake X, the large number of cores means that Intel finally has something that can compete on price with the higher end Ryzen offerings. Intel’s finally returned to a more reasonable pricing strategy with its tremendous cuts to Cascade Lake X pricing.

The Core i9-10920XE is a $689 12-core/24-thread chip priced under AMD’s upcoming flagship AM4 model, the Ryzen 9 3950X. It’s marginally faster than its predecessor, the i9-9920X, with 3.50 GHz base clocks (same), 4.60 GHz Turbo Boost 2.0, 4.80 GHz Turbo Boost Max 3.0, and 4.30 GHz all-core turbo. Interestingly, the increase in core-count doesn’t bring additional L3 cache, you get the same 19.25 MB.

Best Gaming CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3500. AMD’s mid-range performance king, the Ryzen 5 3500 based on the 7nm Zen 2 architecture is finally here. With a price lower than the Intel Core i5-9400F, it promises to be the go-to CPU for builders in the sub-60K range. It’s almost the same as the 3600 except drops SMT which isn’t a must for games anyway. Although we haven’t tested it just yet, knowing how potent the other 3rd Gen Ryzen processors are, we’re pretty confident that it’ll give the Intel competitors a run for their money.

Nvidia is working with chip designer ARM on technology that’s designed to allow for more energy-efficient supercomputers. VentureBeat reports that the graphics company will give the ARM ecosystem access to all its high-performance and AI-focused software by 2020, in a move which Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang said will help to “boost” the industry to achieve so-called exascale computing, systems capable of a billion billion (or a quintillion) floating point operations a second. The announcement means that Nvidia now supports all major CPU architectures.

Minimum Graphics Card for 4K: AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT. AMD’s upper mid-range Navi card, the Radeon RX 5700 XT is the utter minimum if you want to grace the 8 billion pixels of a 4K screen. Although in the Indian market, the aftermarket models are overpriced to the point of being redundant, the reference 5700 XT from Sapphire is now priced less than 35K, a good seven thousand less than the cheapest RTX 2070 Super (while being less than 10% slower). This makes it the ideal card for 1440p gaming and even mild 4K if you are willing to drop some of the more intensive effects.

Best Budget CPU For Video Editing: AMD Ryzen 5 3600. Price: Rs. 17,069. Cores: 6, Threads: 12, Base Clock: 3.6 GHz,Boost Cock: 4.2 GHz, TDP: 65W, Socket: AM4. The Ryzen 5 3600 is probably the best mid-range CPU for multi-threaded workloads. For video-editing tasks, a higher core count improves performance by a huge margin. With a boost clock of 4.2 GHz, it can handle single-threaded workloads without a hitch as well. Combined with only a 65W TDP, it makes for a great pick for a budget video-editing PC. Moreover, it comes with a Wraith Stealth Cooler included in-the-box which is more than sufficient.

If reports from prominent outlets are to be believed, then NVIDIA’s answer to little Navi, the GeForce GTX 1660 Super will end up beating the latter. Although these are estimates and might not actually turn out to be 100% correct, we have reason to believe that that won’t be the case. The source (Igor from Germany) is one of the more reputed people in the industry, and it’s highly possible that he already has the cards on hand and/or the official performance figures. Since of course, he can’t disclose anything at this point officially, he might have published these as estimates.
