AMD is making its presence felt in notebook segment with several high profile vendors embracing their 3rd gen Ryzen chipsets in their new laptops. After using the Ryzen 7-3750H in the New TUF gaming laptop, now Asus has come up with the new ZenBook 14, which drives on 3rd gen Ryzen 5- 3500U processor and costs about ₹59,999.

AMD’s relentless CPU design and release cadence have been totally overturning the consumer mindset regarding whose CPU manufacturer they should choose to populate their builds, and it shows in the top sellers for numerous retailers. Amazon US, for example, lists only two Intel CPUs in the top ten of its CPU sales, with the 6-core/6-thread Core i5-9600K in fourth position, and the 8-core/16-thread Core i9-9900K in sixth. AMD’s Ryzen 7 2700X is the top seller (not at all strange, considering the ludicrously low Black Friday sale price of $159, with the Ryzen 5 2600 in second place and the Ryzen 5 3600 in third.

We all know that AMD has been killing it in the DIY space lately with the Ryzen CPUs pummelling Intel on all fronts. However, to get a clearer idea of how the two arch-rivals compare in the consumer space, we headed over to check Amazon’s best-sellers. Out of the 10 top-selling CPUs, 8 are from AMD’s 2nd and 3rd Gen Ryzen product stack. The pack is led by the Ryzen 7 2700X which is selling for just $159, down from its launch price of $329. At this price, it’s an absolute steal. It may not be the best CPU for gaming, but it’s a fantastic chip for content creators and everyday work routines.

AMD first unveiled the Radeon RX 5500 back in early October. But two months later, it still hasn’t been officially released as a standalone card. The Radeon RX 5500 is part of AMD’s new 7nm GPU Family “Navi”. It is believed to be a successor to AMD’s previous wildly popular budget king, the RX 580 “Polaris” card, which the company could soon retire.

AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper CPUs are not for your average home or office PC. The first Threadrippers were developed as the result of a side project that some AMD engineers took up just to see how far the original Zen architecture could be pushed. Now three generations in a lot has changed, but AMD is fully committed to keeping the line going. With up to 32 cores (and up to 64 soon), these processors are designed to brute-force their way through heavy workloads. They aren’t just successful in the professional high-end desktop market, they’ve also got huge fan followings around the world just because of how audacious and over-the-top they are.

We got our hands on a Radeon RX 5500 graphics card, and with official drivers already available, we decided to take it for a spin. The RX 5500 is an OEM model manufactured by PCPartner, who also produce the AMD reference design board, so it qualifies as MBA (made by AMD) and is possibly the closest thing to a reference-design for the RX 5500. The card we have with us today has the same exact core configuration as the RX 5500 retail, the same memory configuration, and the same exact GPU and memory clock speeds. Official AMD drivers for the RX 5500 already exist as the card is already on sale in prebuilds.

AMD’s Ryzen 3000 processors leverage the MCM (multi-chip module) design otherwise known as the chiplet approach. It lets the company scale its Zen 2 architecture linearly, adding more chiplets to higher-end parts.

The graphics options include up to 40 settings but only a couple of them seem to have any actual impact on the in-game performance.  AMD cards perform the best at the balanced quality graphics preset. At highest quality, the RTX 2070 Super performs on par with the RX 5700 XT while the 2080 Super manages to edge past it.

In a gaming-focused build, the graphics card is the most important component, but that doesn’t mean you should ignore the CPU part of it. This can cause CPU bottlenecks, preventing your GPU from fully realizing its potential. Furthermore, like a GPU bottleneck, you can’t really do much here. Lowering the settings will only make the matter worse. It’s best to go with a processor that compliments the GPU, but at the same time, it’s not advisable to spend too much on it. As a thumb rule, the CPU should be cheaper than the graphics card in gaming builds.

Screen tearing and input lag are two of the most dreaded issues in PC gaming. What do they mean though? Screen tearing essentially occurs when parts of multiple frames are displayed simultaneously, resulting in this: It looks as though the frame has been stretched and torn into three parts, thereby the name “tearing”. Input lag is rather straight-forward: you press a key and there’s a delay before you see the result. These two problems, although, may not seem like much, can be the cause of victory or defeat in fast-paced eSports games and first-person shooters.
