AMD Ryzen to boost AMD stock

AMD’s John Taylor, Corporate Vice President, Worldwide Marketing at AMD showcased Zen running the CPU at Computex in June 1st 2016 and the stock market reacted favorably to it. Since early January last year, AMD stock grew tremendously from $1.90 USD roughly a year ago to $13.42 USD now. The stock price will definitely rise further.
It can be anticipated that Ryzen will be in high demand and that every single AMD fan will have a desire to get an AMD Zen based Ryzen machine. The reason is simple - people want AMD to succeed and the price will be much more competitive.

Asus Strix Z270E Gaming

It's just about impossible to check out all of the different Z270 boards offered by all of the manufacturers, but I have at least taken a look at a mix so far. Missing though was Asus, so today I’m going to be checking out the Asus Strix Z270E Gaming. Asus’s Z270 product lineup is broken down into four categories, Maximus as their high-end gaming boards, the Stix line as their gaming boards with lighting, the TUF series that is well tuff, and the Prime series are simpler for styling but still packed with a lot of the same features. Asus even put together a nice website to help you figure out what fits you best. So the Strix Z270E Gaming that I’m going to check out today is a full ATX board up at the top of the Strix lineup. I’ve only checked out Strix video cards, so I’m excited to see what Asus has going on with the Strix boards.

EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 iCX FTW2 Review: Everything Detected, More Than Just A Cooler

For close to two decades, EVGA has been producing graphics cards based on NVIDIA GPU technology. The company's current line-up consists of literally dozens of cards featuring GeForce GTX 10-series GPUs, with various clock speeds, cooler configurations, and form factors. Although the GeForce 10 series has been out for quite a while now, and EVGA already has a voluminous line-up of cards, the company isn’t done releasing new products just yet. In fact, the GeForce GTX 1080 FTW2 card featuring EVGA’s iCX technology we’ll be showing you here is arguably the company’s most extensive revamp yet.

EVGA showed some cards with iCX branding at CES last month, but didn’t disclose any details. At first glance, the design didn’t look too far removed from existing cards featuring EVGA’s ACX coolers, but there is much more going on under the hood with iCX, which will be coming to select GTX 1060, 1070, and 1080 cards...

PC gaming is a huge market, and it on that continues to grow and change each year. eSports is easily one of the biggest growth markets for PC gaming, and with Intel Extreme Masters being a grand showcase for competitive gaming, it only makes sense that Syber  would join forces to create their Intel Extreme Masters (IEM) line of gaming PCs.
