AMD EPYC 7642 Benchmarks: The Rome 48 Core CPU That Easily Takes On Intel's Xeon Platinum 8280

Since the AMD EPYC 7002 series "Rome" launch at the beginning of August, it's been known how AMD's top-end (aside from the newly-announced EPYC 7H12) EPYC 7742 easily outperforms the Intel Xeon Platinum 8280 in most real-world benchmarks. The EPYC 7742 not only outperforms the Xeon Platinum 8280 in raw performance but also at a significantly lower cost and it gets even better with the EPYC 7642. We have been testing the EPYC 7642 48-core processors and even there the performance is generally ahead of a Xeon Platinum 8280 while being about half the cost of that flagship non-AP Intel Xeon Scalable Cascadelake processor.

Logitech G604 Review

The G602 is a Logitech classic that was launched back close to the launch of the original G502. What really set it apart was its use of a traditional battery, not a rechargeable wireless setup for what our friend Ed over at Sapphire would call a “True Wireless” setup. The G602 had an extremely long battery life and it was the only mouse in the post G502 age at Logitech with more than the standard two side buttons. Funny enough the G602 was replaced with the G603 but it dropped the extra side buttons and went with a different shape so it was a little bit of a surprise to see Logitech switch back to the features of the G602 when I had a call with them about the new G604. It gains the Hero 16K sensor of course and drops some weight. Today I’m going to check out the new mouse and see what it’s all about.

MSI MEG X570 Ace Review

A commendable entrant in the X570 arena. AMD supports older motherboards with its range of nascent 3rd Gen Ryzen processors, but for users wanting to get the most out of them, the recommended path is to invest in X570 boards. That's all well and good, as they offer unique PCIe 4.0 connectivity and best-of-breed overclocking support, though the caveat is one of high pricing. X570 boards start at £150 and quickly escalate to beyond £500 as manufacturers add better power delivery, all forms of RGB, and esoteric cooling.

MSI has seven X570s in its arsenal, and sitting nearer the top of the stack is the MEG X570 Ace that retails for £350. Compared to the firm's own MPG X570 Gaming Plus, which we reckon is a decent entry-level effort costing exactly half as much, MSI adds an extra PCIe x16 slot, a trio of additional USB 3.1Gen2 (Type-A), explicit support for SLI, 2.5G LAN, WiFi 6, significantly beefier cooling and VRM support, along with better RGB lighting. Decent differentiation, then.

MSI Vigor GK60 Mechanical Keyboard Review

The MSI Vigor GK60 is a full-size mechanical gaming keyboard with genuine Cherry MX Red switches. It comes with four metal WASD key caps with four standard ones in the box, a premium metal back plate, and red LED illumination. This makes the keyboard just as functional for gaming or regular use as a more expensive alternative. The GK60 also comes with a game mode, which disables the Windows key and enables full N-key rollover. Priced at $70.29 shipped on Amazon, we will test the GK60 mechanical gaming keyboard to see how it performs.

TeamGroup L5 LITE 3D (480GB) SATA SSD Review

The TeamGroup L5 LITE 3D is an older SATA drive that has consistently been one of the cheapest drives on the retail market.
