Geekbench 5 benchmarks show a massive single-thread performance boost for the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X and 5900X compared to their predecessors.

Internal AMD data suggests EPYC Milan processors, based on Zen 3, are 20% faster than Zen 2-powered EPYC Rome chips at the same clock speed. However, these are still just rumors.

AMD's Ryzen naming scheme is a mess. We explain why APUs are often a generation behind standard CPUs in architecture.

AMD launched new Ryzen 3 3100 and 3300X chips (4 cores/8 threads, Zen 2) starting at $99, plus the B550 chipset with PCIe 4.0 support.

AMD has shifted the Ryzen 3 1200 chip to a 12nm process (Zen+). The new processor features different branding, but its relevance in 2020 is questionable.

Ryzen 4000 (Zen 3) CPUs are expected to offer a 17% performance increase over Ryzen 3000, alongside an improved L3 cache architecture and higher clock speeds.

Ryzen 7 4000 leak: Zen 2 architecture, 7nm, 8 cores, optimized Vega graphics. New APU is 18% faster than its predecessor.

AMD Zen 3 rumors: 8% IPC boost and higher clocks. An 8-core chiplet with 32 MB L3 cache is confirmed. Take it with a grain of salt.

Crytek says SSDs are the key to next-gen gaming on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Next. Microsoft and Sony's new consoles arrive next year.

AMD's new EPYC Rome (Zen 2, 7nm) server processors offer up to 64 cores/128 threads, with support for DDR4 3200 MHz and PCI-e 4.0.
