All-round Deluxe PC - May 2017

The all-round Deluxe PC will last you a few years without requiring any upgrades. It is a bit more expensive, but is very complete as well. Using the internet, gaming, business applications, photo and video editing - all of these are possible on a good all-round PC, and you should never feel that you are lacking in performance for any of those activities.

This means a good processor and graphics card from the upper mid-range segment. Fast, yet affordable. You also need enough RAM and storage space, not to mention an attractive chassis and reliable power supply that can last several years. Of course you need a quality monitor, mouse and keyboard, as these are used very frequently.

AMD EPYC Launch Date Revealed

At its Computex 2017 event, AMD announced the market availability of EPYC enterprise processors based on the "Zen" architecture. The chips will be available from June 20, 2017. The company didn't get into the specifics, however we know that EPYC consists of chips with up to 32 cores, up to 64 threads, up to 32 MB of L3 cache, and a vast 112-lane PCIe root complex. There could be 1P and 2P models.

AMD EPYC server CPUs to arrive from 20th June

And we see the first demos of a Ryzen Mobile APU in an ultraportable design. AMD has just revealed quite a lot of news concerning its new and upcoming CPUs, which will find themselves employed in products as diverse as servers, creator workstations, gaming desktops, and svelte 2-in-1s over coming months. Today it gave a launch date for its EPYC processors for servers, previously codenamed Naples. We learnt more about Threadripper HEDT and its launch schedule. Last but not least we heard about Ryzen Mobile APUs which will bring 4C/8T Zen processing, plus Vega graphics processing to sub-15mm laptops and convertibles.

AMD Ryzen Threadripper Detailed - Why Intel HEDT is in Trouble

AMD today talked a little more about the Ryzen Threadripper, its upcoming line of HEDT (high-end desktop) processors, which will compete with Intel's recently launched Core i7 and Core i9 X-series processors. The chips will still be launched "later this Summer," and AMD hasn't mentioned models, yet. We know of at least two features which will spell trouble for Intel, and it's not the CPU core performance.

The first of two killer Threadripper features is that it has 64 PCI-Express gen 3.0 lanes across all its models - 12-core and 16-core. This is unlike Intel, where you get 44 (not 64) PCIe lanes to begin with, and those start with the $999 Core i9-7900X ten-core processor. Models below this are relegated to 28 lanes, removing the biggest advantage of the HEDT platform - to be able to run more than one graphics card at full x16 PCIe bandwidth. The second killer Threadripper feature is its memory controller. AMD announced that Quad-channel DDR4 memory will be available across the lineup. This again is unlike Intel, where the Core i5-7640X and Core i7-7740X quad-core LGA2066 chips feature just dual-channel memory. All Threadripper chips further feature 16 MB of shared L3 cache. ASUS, ASRock, GIGABYTE, and MSI are said to be developing Ryzen Threadripper motherboards based on the X399 chipset as we speak.

Asus Cerberus V2

Asus Cerberus V2 is the successor to the company's bestselling headset. Now equipped with a stainless steel headband and the new "Essence drivers", it's supposed to be sturdier and better sounding. However, with its $75 price tag, it faces some stiff competition and doesn't necessarily come out as the victor.

AZIO Armato Gaming Keyboard Review

AZIO has a pretty interesting lineup of keyboards. They have two main categories, Lifestyle and Gaming. Of course we are mainly interested in their gaming products, but they have released products like the MK Retro which were very unique. We took at our last AZIO gaming keyboard about a year ago, and while it was good, we still feel it lacked some necessary features. Well they are back with the Armato which they say offers striking aesthetics and essential gaming functionalities. With that you have Cherry MX Brown mechanical key switches, an aluminum chassis design, 5 dedicated macro keys, and a very interesting volume control. Does the Armato have enough for us to recommend it for your next gaming keyboard? Read on as we find out!

GIGABYTE C422-WS Bridges the Gap Between Core X and Xeon Gold

GIGABYTE showed off the C422-WS, a socket LGA2066 motherboard which supports both client Core i5/i7/i9 X-series and enterprise Xeon Gold and Xeon Platinum processors compatible with socket R4 (a variation of LGA2066). The board supports up to 128 GB of quad-channel memory on Core X processors, and up to 512 GB of DDR4 LRDIMM memory on Xeon chips. It is based on the Intel C422 chipset. The board draws power from 24-pin ATX, two 8-pin EPS, and 6-pin PCIe power connectors. Expansion slots include seven PCI-Express 3.0 x16, of which four are wired to the socket. Storage includes a mix of M.2, U.2, SATA-Express. Networking includes a 10 GbE interface, and a second 1 GbE, both driven by Intel-made controllers. 8-channel HD audio makes for the rest of it.

Gigabyte Z270N Gaming 5

Surprisingly, even though we covered a whole list of Z270 motherboards after Intel’s launch, it wasn’t until a few weeks ago that we ended up with any ITX boards. The first ITX Z270 board to come into the office is the Z270N Gaming 5 from Gigabyte. This is their higher end ITX offering. It has a touch of orange in its styling and I’m excited to see what Gigabyte has to offer the LAN rig and higher end SFF build market so today I’m going to check out its features then take a quick look at the performance.

Intel Core i9-7900X breaks several benchmark world records

But the off-the-shelf unmodified processor has a 'low-quality' TIM. Intel launched its Core-X Series processors including the new Core-i9 models at Computex on Tuesday. Already the overclocking crews at Computex have been pushing key products from this HEDT CPU range to their limits and are breaking OC and benchmark world records.

While it's great to see the capabilities of these chips, and the platform, easily exceed those that came before them, that fact is tempered with some not-so-good news. Sadly Intel's most premium consumer processors still use a 'conventional paste' thermal interface material (TIM). They aren't soldered, so getting the best extreme clock speeds from these parts requires delidding (German language, toggle on the English subtitles), says OC expert der8auer.
