An Interview with AMD’s CTO Mark Papermaster: ‘There’s More Room At The Top’edit
On the back of a very busy 2019, AMD is gaining market share and is now a performance leader in a lot of CPU segments. The company has executed well not only with a good product but also at a time when its main competition is having manufacturing and production issues, which means AMD is ripe to push boundaries, gain market share, and make noise with a lot of wins. This year AMD’s Ryzen 3000 CPUs and EPYC Rome CPUs both have the new Zen 2 microarchitecture built on TSMC’s 7nm, something that might not have been possible without deep co-optimization between the two companies for a high performance product.

Best Gaming PC Build Under Rs. 30,000: January 2020edit

The Core i3-9100F is undoubtedly the best gaming CPU under the 10K mark. With a TDP of 65W, it packs four cores running at an impressive 4.20GHz.
