A lot of people in my young team are constantly complaining about their laptops being slow and under-powered. These are punctuated by shouts of frustration from across the newsroom as one desktop or the other refuses to indulge the person using it. ASUS, showcased a bunch of new laptops and gaming computers powered by AMDs Ryzen processors. What caught my attention was the fact that even the entry-level devices from the company were thin and not the spine-breakers we are used to seeing in the sub INR 30,000 segment.

A desktop variant of the AMD Radeon RX 5300 XT graphics card surfaced in a specs sheet of an upcoming HP Pavilion desktop model (TP01-0004ng). The listing describes the RX 5300 XT as featuring 4 GB of GDDR5 memory. This is the first instance of an RX 5300 XT in the wild. An older report citing driver files pointed to there being only two RX 5300-series products, the RX 5300 (desktop), and the mobile RX 5300M. The “XT” brand extension could denote a higher CU count than the RX 5300, although the series is still differentiated from the RX 5500-series with cheaper GDDR5 memory.

AMD’s Ryzen 3000 processors have been out for a while now, and if you’re planning to buy them chances are that you’re also looking for a new motherboard. In this post, we’ll be listing the best budget and high-end motherboards for the new Matisse processors. We’ll recommend a motherboard for every Ryzen CPU to make your life easier, so rest easy. The MSI B450M Pro VDH Max is easily one of the best budget motherboard for the lower-end Ryzen CPUs. We strongly recommend pairing it with the Ryzen 5 3500 or the 3600 or any of the older 1st or 2nd Gen Ryzen parts.

Under 30K, building a gaming PC is not easy. You’ll have to either rely on second-hand parts or make some serious compromises. For this under 20,000 build, we’ll be leveraging an APU instead of a dedicated GPU. If you want, you can add a discrete graphics card later on, but keep in mind that the CPU upgrade options will be limited. Since we’re limited to just 20,000 INR here, we’ll be sticking to an APU instead of a distinct CPU/GPU combo. Our recommendation is the AMD Ryzen 3 3200G. Based on the 12nm Zen+ architecture and the Vega 8 iGPU, it’s the most balanced processor available in this range.

AMD continues to be on a roll. According to ShopDana data posted on the ryzen.co.kr BBS board, Ryzen processors hit a 53 market share total in South Korea. This is the first time Team Red’s ever had that high a market share in the Korean market. For most of this year, they were hovering around the 40 percent range. This makes sense, as first and second-gen Ryzen parts offered a viable all-round alternative to Coffee Lake but struggled to deliver a better gaming experience. Around the time Ryzen 3000 was announced, AMD’s share rose drastically. Between June and August, it climbed from 42 percent to 51 percent and has now reached its all time high.

Asus, showcased a bunch of new laptops and gaming computers powered by AMD’s Ryzen processors. A lot of people in my young team are con­stantly com­plain­ing about their lap­tops be­ing slow and un­der­pow­ered. These are punctuated by shouts of frustration from across the newsroom as one desktop or the other refuses to indulge the person using it. Even as we have more computing now on a smartphone than most of the first satellites, companies have strug­gled to make the ba­sic com­put­ing ex­pe­ri­ence pain-free. Of course, PCs can be very ca­pa­ble, pro­vided you are pay­ing for it.
