20-Way NVIDIA GeForce / AMD Radeon GPU Comparison For Rise of The Tomb Raider On Vulkan/Linux

Today Feral Interactive released their much anticipated Linux port of Rise of the Tomb Raider, the game that was released for Windows in January of 2016 and then released for macOS last week. Feral's Mac port was relying upon the Apple Metal API while the Linux port is now their second game (after F1 2017) exclusively relying upon the Vulkan graphics/compute API rather than OpenGL. This morning I posted the initial Radeon results using the RADV driver while here is the NVIDIA GeForce vs. AMD Radeon graphics card comparison on Ubuntu Linux using twenty different graphics cards.

A Performance Review: AMD’s Ryzen 5 2600X & Ryzen 7 2700X Processors

AMD’s second-generation Ryzen CPUs have landed, and if you’re on the lookout for a new chip with a great bang-for-the-buck, you should give a chip like the Ryzen 7 2700X a hard look for your next build.

While I had plenty of time to test and write this review, other things (work and life) prevented me from making this as in-depth as I’d like it to be. I am actually writing the entire thing hours in advance of embargo, after retesting lagged me a bit. So, this article is no work of art, but the point definitely gets across through the variety of performance results.

AMD 2nd Gen Ryzen 2 2700X Zen+ CPU Review

AMD has made a huge push back into the CPU market over the last year with its Ryzen CPUs for the desktop market. The Ryzen started the Thread Wars and Intel has tried to answer. We are reviewing the 2nd generation Ryzen today. Did AMD take an already great CPU and make it better?

In the immortal words of Navin R. Johnson, "The new Ryzen's here! The new Ryzen's here!" Maybe it did not go exactly like that, but you get the idea. We know some of you are pretty excited for this new Ryzen. Before we get into the bits and bytes of what is supposed to make this Ryzen better, I thought we would start out with a bit of eye candy.

AMD 2nd Generation Ryzen Review: Delivering More Performance Per Dollar

AMD initially announced its 2nd Generation Ryzen desktop processors back at CES earlier this year. To quickly recap, 2nd Generation Ryzen processors are based on a refined update to the Zen architecture, dubbed Zen+, that offers higher clocks, lower latencies, and a more intelligent Precision Boost 2 algorithm that improves performance, system responsiveness, and power efficiency characteristics. The chips are also manufactured using a more advanced process, however, they still leverage the existing AM4 infrastructure and are compatible with the same socket, chipsets, and motherboards as the first generation products -- with a BIOS / UEFI update, of course. That said, there is a “new” chipset arriving alongside the 2nd Generation Ryzen desktop processors as well, the X470...

AMD Ryzen 2700 CPU Review – The Zen+ Refresh and 400-Series Platform Featuring ASRock X470 Taichi Ultimate and ASUS ROG Crosshair VII Hero

A year ago, AMD launched Ryzen, a new processor family based on their latest CPU architecture, Zen. When AMD launched Ryzen along with the Zen cores, they made a commitment to gamers, enthusiasts and high-performance users that Ryzen will get better year after year. Fast forward a year and we are now looking at the second iteration of Ryzen, a better and faster processor in all ways possible, at least on the table, along with a refreshed platform.

Known as the AMD Ryzen 2000 series, the new generation of processors is similar to an Intel’s Tick which involves the move to a smaller process node while improving the core architecture. There is not much in terms of core architecture evolution but refinements from the updated process node do help in efficiency and clock rate increase.

AMD Ryzen 5 2600X + Ryzen 7 2700X Linux Benchmarks

The embargo on the Ryzen 5 2600X and Ryzen 7 2700X processors has expired now that these Ryzen+ CPUs are beginning to ship today. We can now talk about the Linux support and the initial performance figures for these upgraded Zen desktop CPUs.

I've spent a fair amount of time testing the Ryzen 5 2600X and Ryzen 7 2700X processors since receiving them earlier this month from AMD for Linux benchmarking. My initial Ryzen+ Linux experience is based on these two processors as well as the new X470 chipset based MSI X470 GAMING M7 AC and ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR VII HERO motherboards.

AMD Ryzen 5 2600X 3.6 GHz CPU Review

AMD had been written off as a serious processor maker, before it made a spectacular comeback in 2017, with the Ryzen and EPYC series, based on the new "Zen" micro-architecture. These chips disrupted Intel's 7th generation Core "Kaby Lake" family enough to force their premature exit from the market, and the entry of 8th generation Core "Coffee lake" processors with 50-100% increases in core-counts. The Core i7-8700K took back the performance crown from the Ryzen 7 1800X, and the Core i5-8600K won back the $200-$250 segment, which some refer to as the "sweetspot" segment, from the Ryzen 5 1600X. It's time now for AMD's fightback, with the new Ryzen 5 2600X and the Ryzen 7 2700X.

The first wave of AMD's Ryzen 2000 series "Pinnacle Ridge" processor family is rather brief, with only four SKUs, two 8-core, and two 6-core. The 8-core parts compete with Intel's 8th generation Core i7, while the 6-core parts compete with its latest Core i5 series. Leading the pack is the 8-core Ryzen 7 2700X, followed by the Ryzen 7 2700. The 6-core Ryzen 5 2600X and Ryzen 5 2600 follow.

AMD Ryzen 5 2600X Review

In this review, we test the Ryzen 5 2600X review. The new six-core flagship comes with twelve threads and increased base and turbo frequencies. How does 3.6 GHz on the base-clock and 4.2 GHz on the boost clock sound? Armed with a pretty spectacular value price, this might be the new CPU for many to get their overall desktop and PC Gaming freak on going.

AMD Ryzen 7 2700X & Ryzen 5 2600X Review

AMD updates its Ryzen CPU lineup with the new 8-core Ryzen 7 2700X and 6-core Ryzen 5 2600X. While we're still not exactly at "Zen 2.0" architecture, these latest processors use an improved 12nm process that (when paired with the new X470 chipset) promise better overclocked speeds at lower cache latency, lower power draw, and much more.

AMD StoreMI along with the updated 12nm "Zen+" process, Precision Boost 2, and XFX 2 technologies should all serve to facilitate lower latency and higher frequencies for a more enjoyable gaming experience or better work load completion times. These new Ryzen processors will continue to lead AMD further into future endeavors, promising a vibrant boon to users with greater performance and competitive edge.

AMD Ryzen 7 2700X & Ryzen 5 2600X Review

It's been great to have more competition in the CPU sector since Ryzen arrived. Based on a refreshed Zen+ architecture, today we're testing AMD's new X processors: the 2700X is an 8-core/16-thread CPU with a 3.7 GHz base and a 4.3 GHz max boost and the 2600X is a 6-core/12-thread CPU operating at 100 MHz lower clocks.

AMD Ryzen 7 2700X 3.7 GHz CPU Review

Not long ago, AMD was written off as a serious processor maker, but then they made a spectacular comeback in 2017, with the Ryzen and EPYC processors based on the new "Zen" micro-architecture. These chips hit Intel's 7th generation Core "Kaby Lake" series so hard, that the company cut its yearly generational product cycle by half and rushed in the 8th generation Core "Coffee Lake" series, with 50-100% core-count increases across the board, to restore competitiveness. Intel succeeded in taking back the mainstream-desktop performance crown with the Core i7-8700K, and it's time now for AMD's response.

AMD technically debuted its 2nd generation Ryzen processor family with the Ryzen 2000G "Raven Ridge" APU series; but for all intents and purposes, the new Ryzen 2000 "Pinnacle Ridge" is where the company's fightback really begins with. These chips are based on a new 12 nanometer GlobalFoundries process, and it's the first time since forever, that AMD is building its processors on a smaller process node than Intel. It could hold on to this feat for at least half a year before Intel responds with its first 10 nm chips.

AMD Ryzen 7 2700X and Ryzen 5 2600X CPUs Review

More performance, similar prices. AMD is today launching four performance Ryzen chips for the desktop market. Known by the codename Pinnacle Ridge and built on the Zen+ architecture, the Ryzen 7 2700X, Ryzen 7 2700, Ryzen 5 2600X and Ryzen 5 2600 look to set new performance standards. It is instructive to head on over to the original Ryzen 7 1800X review in order to understand and appreciate the underlying architecture because 2nd Generation Ryzen incrementally builds on top of it.

We'll explain what is new in 2nd Generation Ryzen as we move along this review, but first and in keeping with how we do things, let's roll out the Table of Ryzen:tm:.

AMD Ryzen 7 2700X and Ryzen 5 2600X Review

Just over a year and a month ago AMD rocked the PC market with the launch of their Ryzen CPUs. They started off with their 7 series CPUs then slowly introduced the others, the Ryzen APUs only just hit the market in fact. I say it rocked the entire PC market because the Zen-based CPU launch had a cascade effect across AMD's whole lineup that drove innovation forward from just about everyone. Building high-end PCs was new and exciting. The product shortages in memory and video cards have hampered things a little but hardware wise the past year has been amazing. AMD hasn’t left things alone, now that Intel has responded AMD themselves are ready with their Zen+ CPUs. They teased them last week and today's the day you can get them. Well I’ve been busy testing them and I can finally pull the NDA shaped tape off my mouth and talk about their performance.

AMD Ryzen 7 2700X and Ryzen 5 2600X Review

AMD's 2nd Generation of Ryzen processors has finally landed, and today we are going to give you our impressions of AMD's new products as well as performance numbers. The new processors are part of AMD's Zen+ product line, so please don't confuse it with Zen 2, which is a different microarchitecture. The real deal here is that AMD has moved towards a 12nm process, and they have improved many things on the processor, including maximum frequencies. So let's see how much AMD does against Intel's Coffee Lake processors in regards to gaming and productivity.

AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Review

Today we look at the top-tier 2700X, the current best in the 2nd Gen range. Featuring a 3.7GHz base clock and 4.3GHz boost clock, along with 8 cores and 16 threads. AMD haven't, at least at this moment in time, provided an analogue to the 1800 and 1800X CPUs, instead listing the 2700X as their enthusiast chip.

AMD Ryzen R7 2700x & Ryzen R5 2600x CPU Review

Last June AMD delivered on its promise to deliver an AMD CPU that performed better than ever before and Ryzen was born using AMD’s Zen architecture. Just short of a year later, another Ryzen line is being released. Ryzen’s 2nd generation CPUs were kicked off with the launch of the Ryzen 3 2200G and the Ryzen 5 2400G earlier in the year. The 2nd generation of the performance Ryzen CPUs features the Ryzen R5 2600x and the Ryzen R7 2700x. These CPUs are built on a 12nm Zen+ processor and feature better memory management, Precision Boost 2, and overall higher clock speeds.

AMD's Ryzen 7 2700X and Ryzen 5 2600X CPUs reviewed

AMD’s Ryzen processors have indubitably reshaped the mainstream PC in the year since their release. Four-core, eight-thread CPUs reigned in those systems for the better part of eight years, but first-generation Ryzen parts brought core and thread counts typical of high-end desktop chips within range of the average builder for the first time.

The Zen microarchitecture has since proven itself worthy in a broad range of gaming and productivity tasks, and enthusiast-friendly perks like capable stock coolers, universally unlocked multipliers, and soldered heat spreaders have won the hearts of many a DIY builder. Some fundamental disadvantages of the Zen core versus Intel's Skylake architecture, like SIMD units that provide half the potential throughput of the blue team's cores, will require major architectural changes if AMD chooses to address them. Massive re-architecting like that will likely need to wait for the move to 7-nm-class process technologies and the bounty of extra transistors they could offer.

Aorus X470 Gaming 7 Wifi Motherboard Review

AMD has today launched a quartet of Ryzen 2000-series CPUs that increase performance by around 10 per cent when evaluated against the previous-generation models of the same name. What they have in common is an AM4 form factor, with AMD promising enthusiasts that it will keep to that common mainstream socket until at least 2020.

That said, the launch of a new series of CPUs is usually reason enough to release a new chipset. So, without further ado, enter the X470.

Corsair Carbide 275R Mid-Tower Case Review

As the successor to the Corsair Carbide 270R, the Carbide 275R brings a few new improvements to the table. It comes in four variants: black or white enclosure with an acrylic side panel, and black or white enclosure with a tempered glass panel. The plastic front panel is very simple with its brushed aluminum look, and the side panel provides a great view of the interior components. Unlike its predecessor, the Carbide 275R has its power supply chamber extend all the way towards the front with a cutout to fit up to a 360 mm radiator at the front. Benchmark Reviews has in hand the Carbide 275R in white with the tempered glass side panel.

CORSAIR K68 RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Review

Thanks to its Cherry MX Red switches and IP32 certification rendering it dust and spill-resistant the brand new K68 RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard by CORSAIR walks on the same successful path paved by its predecessor.

Membrane based keyboards may not be as popular today as their mechanical based counterparts but due to their far longer life in the market they do have some advantages including lower noise levels coming from their keys (depends of course on whether or not audible feedback is important to you), reduced weight (not a rule however) and in some cases even resistance to dust and liquids (from time to time we have seen such models). Certainly mechanical switches are far more durable (not written in stone however since we have seen mechanical switches fail much faster than membrane ones) but dust and water resistance is something we've always wanted to see more with mechanical keyboards. Well it seems that our good friends over at CORSAIR feel the exact same way as we do since they recently released the dust and spill resistant K68 RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard.

Cyberpower Ultra 7 GTX Review

2nd Gen Ryzen in a competitively priced gaming rig. Ryzen processors have been a major hit among AMD fans, but in order to combat Intel's years of dominance, everyone's favourite underdog needs to work closely with system integrators and OEMs to ensure Ryzen is showcased to its full potential. This historically has proven to be AMD's Achilles' heel and the first batch of Ryzen-based PCs struggled to hit all the right notes as manufacturers adapted to the new hardware.

A number of SIs opted not to send in 1st Gen Ryzen systems for review, often citing BIOS or driver bugs, limited memory compatibility and poor overclocking performance when compared to Intel equivalents. Conspiracy theorists will no doubt be up in arms, but AMD is aware of Ryzen's somewhat rocky road to retail and has been hard at work ironing out the kinks over the course of the past 12 months. The culmination of that work is 2nd Gen Ryzen, launched today as a more mature choice for consumers and system integrators alike.

Far Cry 5 benchmarks with AMD and Nvidia: 30 GPUs in Ubisoft's newest shooter

Far Cry 5 is Ubisoft's long-awaited new shooter. For this game, the Dunia engine returns, supplemented with many modern techniques. Which video card can handle this? And which GPU can't provide the compute power needed for 60 FPS?

Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity? Few villains will delight the Far Cry lover as much as Vaas from the third entry in the series. The story was entirely focused on defeating one or a few bad guys, which was of course preceded by the necessary challenges. It nicely illustrates the role of a storyline in these single-player games, in stark contrast to the focus of most online multiplayer games. Far Cry emphasizes a large open game world, a good story and graphics.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga Review

I've been looking forward to this review for a long time. Well, I've been looking forward to it since last July, when I reviewed the second-generation Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga. It's one of my all-time favorite mobile PCs, and when I reviewed the OLED model in October, I said that it was damn close to being perfect.

Announced at CES in January, the third-gen model is here, and I was psyched for it. The new models include Intel's eighth-generation U-series processors, meaning that they're quad-core now instead of dual-core. This means that you can see a 30%-40% performance boost depending on your workload.

There's also a privacy guard on the webcam, called ThinkShutter. Now, you won't have to put a piece of tape over it to protect your privacy.

MSI X470 Gaming M7 AC Review

Well along with the new Ryzen CPUs AMD also introduced their new X470 chipset. That means new motherboards. While they are still AM4 boards so most of the original boards should be getting updates to support the new CPUs and don’t worry the new X470 boards will also support the original Ryzen CPUs as well. But I’m excited to see what everyone is going to do different this generation, I’m not used to seeing new AMD boards on the regular like this, I could get used to it! So to start things off I’m going to check out the X470 Gaming M7 AC from MSI that MSI and AMD provided.

MSI X470 GAMING M7 AC Review

Certainly, the MSI X470 GAMING M7 AC seems to offer everything an enthusiast gamer would require, so how does it stack up against the competition? And does the X470 chipset offer performance gains over the X370?

The striking design is difficult to miss, with a dual-purpose southbridge heatsink, named the M.2 Shield FROZR, also offering protection and helping to increase heat dissipation to prevent energy-hungry M.2 drives from throttling. The power delivery heatsinks are also particularly overstated, ensuring the Ryzen CPU receives all of the power it requires while remaining 100% stable.

Sahara P35 Case, Pirate Turbo 12cm Fans and Controller Review

So overall, the P35 seems like a pretty acceptable case with a very modest £50 asking price at the time of the review and for that cost the case will come bare, with no fans or controller. What makes it more interesting is the £70 asking price; with that you get 4 of the pirate turbo 120mm RGB fans and the pirate turbo controller box, which when you take into account the cost of the pirate controller and fans it suddenly becomes a lot more attractive.

The Sahara P35 is very well laid out to easily build inside of. There is also an acceptable amount of clearance in the rear panel for cable routing with relative ease. The build quality is excellent with a good mix of metals, plastics and glass, especially considering the price.

The AMD 2nd Gen Ryzen Deep Dive: The 2700X, 2700, 2600X, and 2600 Tested

With 2017 finished, and Ryzen being very successful for AMD, the inevitable question was due: what happens next? Early in 2018, the plans were laid bare: a second generation Ryzen processor was set to come in mid-year, followed by a second generation Threadripper, using GlobalFoundries’ 12nm process. This is not AMD’s next big microarchitecture, which we know is called Rome (or Zen 2) on 7nm, but an opportunity to launch a wave of components with minor improvements and take advantage of a manufacturing process that gives more frequency and more performance. Today AMD is launching four CPUs, and we have tested them all.
