In 2017, AMD and Intel once again competed with each other, in a way we hadn't seen in years. Both brands came up with tons of new Core and Ryzen processors. Time to take stock: Which processor should you buy for which purpose? After reading this article...
Which processor now offers the most bang of your buck varies per price segment. If you have a very small budget, in our opinion it is best to find an Intel Pentium G4560, which, given its higher availability, is less of a challenge than it was a few month...

Fundamentally, not much separates the three Ryzen 7s except clock-speeds. The 1700X drops a couple of hundred megahertz, but saves you £130/$100. Meanwhile, the entry-level 1700 sees a 3.0GHz base clock - some way off the top-tier model's 3.6GHz - but off...
There's a range of advice we can offer to any prospective Ryzen owners. First, the more expensive 1800X is only recommended if you want the fastest possible stock processor, no matter what the cost. Highly clocked out of the box, there's not a huge amount...

The 2nd highest Ryzen 7 processor in the market, the Ryzen 7 1700X retails at RM 1,899 which is quite a huge gap in price between it and the 1800X.Just like the big brother, the Ryzen 7 1700X is a 95W processor and the only difference between it and the 1...
The AMD Ryzen 7 1700X retails at just RM 1,899 but when you compare price to performance, it floors the Ryzen 7 1800X as they're near identical but with the Ryzen 7 1700X running slightly cooler due to the lowered clock speed. My only dislike towards the...
