Anandtech: The Acer Swift 3 SF314 Notebook Review: Swift Gets Swifter With Ryzen 4000

Almost two years ago to the day, we had a chance to check out Acer’s Swift 3 laptop featuring AMDs first Ryzen Mobile platform, Raven Ridge. Acer has been a strong partner for AMD, generally being one of the first out of the gate with new designs featuring AMD’s latest platforms, and this year that partnership has played out again. Today we are taking a look at the newest AMD APU offering, the Ryzen 4000 "Renoir", which is at the heart of Acer’s latest iteration of the 14-inch Swift 3. With a brand-new AMD processor and some innovations in the Swift 3 design itself, both AMD and Acer have made some tremendous improvements for 2020.

TechPowerUp: ASUS Radeon RX 5500 XT STRIX 8 GB Review

The ASUS RX 5500 XT STRIX OC is their most premium entry-level Navi design. The large triple-slot, dual-fan cooler achieves outstanding temperatures and is whisper quiet at the same time. Fan stop is included too, and the VRM design is overbuilt, which could explain the good OC results we're seeing.

Windows Central: SteelSeries made the Arctis 1 work with Xbox, and it's amazing

SteelSeries took the Arctis 1, its more affordable headset, and added wireless but it didn't officially support Microsoft's console. Now, SteelSeries launched the Arctis 1 Wireless with full support for Xbox, and we took it for a spin.

ThinkComputers: Lexar NM610 M.2 NVMe Solid State Drive Review

One such drive is the Lexar NM610, which offers sequential read and write speeds of 2100 MB/s and 1600 MB/s respectively. Based on those speeds we would call this drive an entry level drive, but it still is going to be much faster than a normal 3.5-inch solid state drive.
