We put the 6-core Ryzen 5 3600 (Zen 2) through its paces, exploring its capabilities, memory overclocking potential, and how it stacks up against 4-core Alder Lake CPUs. Could it still be a smart, affordable choice for gamers?

AMD's budget-friendly Ryzen 5 5600 aims to solidify its Zen 3 position against Intel. We put this chip through its paces to evaluate its true capabilities and performance.

The Xeon E5-2630 (Sandy Bridge) processor gets tested in modern games and benchmarks. We found a significant lack of power and the absence of FMA3/AVX2, making many titles completely unplayable.

Can Intel's 6-core Core i5-12400F (Alder Lake) really replace those aging 12-core Haswell chips? We put this new budget CPU through its paces to see its advantages.

We benchmarked the 12-core Intel Xeon E5-2670 v3 (Haswell) in modern games, discovering that Hyper-Threading can sometimes actually reduce FPS.

Does an 8-core Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 still deliver better gaming performance in 2022 than its 6-core alternatives? We put the CPU through its paces.

Can a venerable 6-core Intel Xeon E5-2667 still hold its own in 2022's demanding games? We benchmark its performance against a lineup of other processors.
