AMD Ryzen 3000 Processors Gaming Performance: Ryzen 5 3600X vs Ryzen 7 3700X vs Ryzen 9 3900X Benchmarks (PROACTIVE)edit
With the launch of the Ryzen 3000 lineup, Intel’s lead in gaming performance has shrunk to single figures. Multi-threaded applications like rendering, editing, and other professional workloads were already in AMD’s favor. This has left Intel in a rather precarious situation. However, if you’re looking to buy a 3rd Gen Ryzen chip, you probably won’t need the 12 core Ryzen 9 3900X, or even the Ryzen 7. From our testing, the Ryzen 5 3600X is the sweet spot for most consumers, especially gamers.

AMD Made Rapid Strides in the GPU Market in Q4 2019 as Discrete GPU Adoption Soarededit
2019 was an especially fruitful year for AMD. While the 3rd Gen Ryzen CPUs reigned supreme in the consumer processor market, the Radeon RX 5700 series “Navi” helped AMD regain some of its lost shares from NVIDIA. This is the second-largest gain Team Red has seen since the crypt-fever got over. At the end of Q3 2019, the Navi 10 GPUs had launched and AMD sat over 27% of the discrete GPU share, with NVIDIA commanding a massive lead, controlling the remaining 73%.

AMD Ryzen 7 4800U Laptops Will Have a Battery Life of 14 Hoursedit
It seems that the Ryzen 4000 mobile processors will not only be fast but power-efficient as well. Not surprising considering that the APUs are based on the cutting-edge 7nm node from TSMC. In comparison, most of Intel’s mobile CPUs still leverage the nearly-decade old 14nm process. A few screenshots posted on the Chinese site, Weibo indicate how the battery life of the new Renoir processors will be like. In short: Very long.

AMD Ryzen Processors: CCX, CCD, and the Infinity Fabric Explainededit
There are many factors responsible for AMD’s recent success in the consumer market. But, the chiplet or MCM design (Multi-chip Module) is easily at the heart of it. It allows AMD to increase the core counts to never-before-seen figures in the consumer market. The Ryzen 9 3950X features 16 cores while the Threadripper flagship, the 3990X boasts an insane 64 cores, same as the Epyc Rome chip. This is all thanks to the chiplet approach.

‘Versatile’ is the name of the game and HP is one of those brands that we reckon with when talking about convertibles. The convertibles (or as you call it: 2-in-1s) are not just for the media consumers but for heavy users and students as well. And HP is betting big on the Spectre X360 (Intel Core 10th-gen) laptop for this. These 2-in-1 adds the ‘premiumness’ with ‘power’ to deliver a clamshell device that not many brands can’t pull off easily.
