AMD Ryzen 5 5600X & Ryzen 9 5900X Review
AMD has been on a long road to redemption. Back in the day, I remember sporting some of their classics, such as the 955 Black Edition. A beastly overclocking CPU that was a big slap in the face to many Intel rivals. Well, AMD has been fighting fit against Intel…

4K Gaming Showdown – i9-9900K Vs i9-9900KS
The Intel Core i9-9900K has been with us for a little while now. We loved it when we originally reviewed it. Sure, it wasn’t cheap, and it has issues with load temperatures, but we couldn’t refute the raw performance it delivered. AMD countered pretty hard with their 3rd Gen Ryzen…

Intel Core i9 10920X Processor Review
The latest Intel 10th generation processors definitely launched with an explosion, but not the good kind. It was found (mainly with the 10980XE) to be expensive and frankly lacklustre compared to the existing 9th generation CPUs but more importantly; against AMD. Being a HEDT “part”, it was found to be…

AMD Athlon 200GE Dual-Core APU Review
Athlon 200GE You can’t build a PC for under a thousand monies, you can’t game at anything less than 4K, you can’t… the list goes on, I’ve heard it all. Then you’ve got AMD coming in with a CPU that costs a penny less than £40. That’s right, a far…

Intel i9 9980XE Extreme Edition 18 Core CPU Review
Intel i9 9980XE When it comes to extreme CPUs, Intel has long been the performance king. The i9-9900K certainly impressed us when it launched towards the end of last year. However, that’s a more consumer-focused part, even if it was pretty extreme in its own right. The new i9-9980XE, however,…
