Abstract: It's one of the greatest questions of our time: AMD or Intel? Today, that rivalry has entered a new stage of Cinebench taunting as AMD's 2000-series Threadripper processors, commonly known as Threadripper 2, come to market to compete against Intel's Skyla...

For the desktop PC gamer, the higher TDP X models are still the go-to for gaming and general performance though. They're a little faster, and a little more expensive, but you get what you pay for. However, if heat and power are a big concern to you, and t...

I can see the Ryzen 5 2600 and the 2600X fast becoming the most popular chips of the second generation Ryzen launch. They're fast, they're affordable, and they're easy to keep cool and overclock. I mean, if you're just doing a massive amount of rendering...

Which processor now offers the most bang of your buck varies per price segment. If you have a very small budget, in our opinion it is best to find an Intel Pentium G4560, which, given its higher availability, is less of a challenge than it was a few month...

Best single-socket CPU power on the market with most applications, Best modelling performance with most applications, Best GPGPU performance (when configured optimally)
Expensive overall system price – £1,200 more than AMD-AMD option, NVIDIA GeForce graphics not validated for professional applications, Behind AMD option for video editing with Adobe applications, Price: £5,754.00 inc VAT (Buy from Armari HERE), Discuss on
On the face of it, this head-to-head would appear to be a relatively clear win for the Intel and NVIDIA-based Armari Magnetar S18X-RD850G2 over the all-AMD Armari Magnetar S16T-RW850G2. But look a little more closely and the result is nowhere near as obvi...
Not entirely unexpected, but Intel is back in the lead in most multi-threaded CPU-benchmarks. It would be difficult for them not to be: the Core i9 7980XE with 18-cores has two cores more compared with AMD's top model Threadripper 1950X. Aside from that...
Exceptional performance, Single-core results are incredible, Mature chipset and platform
Price, price, price, Monstrous overclocking power draw, Still no soldering between dies and heatsink
So then, the big one. The price. $1,999 (about £1,480, AU$2,510) for a processor is nothing short of insane. Intel needed to come out swinging with this one, especially given just how cost-effective Threadripper is in contrast. You are also losing out on...
