AMD has managed to reassert itself in the enthusiast computing discussion, thanks to its current gen Zen CPU and, to a lesser extent, Vega GPU architectures. Between Ryzen and Threadripper, there are now many compelling non-Intel options for power users. This also applies to the server side of the equation as well...

AMD's Threadripper 2990WX is a beastly slice of silicon, there's no doubt about it. The chip is armed with 32 cores and 64 threads clocked at 3.0GHz to 4.2GHz, supplemented with 64MB of L3 cache and 16MB of L2 cache. It also provides access to 64 PCI Express Gen3 lanes. Oddly enough, however, it under performs...

Back in early October, Intel officially announced itsXeon W-3175X processor, which is SKU intended for high-end workstations. If you need a refresher, this is the 28-core beastly processor that Intel first displayed at Computex running at animpressive 5GHz.
However, Intel was only able to achieve that massive clock with someheavy-duty

AMD is well along in development on its7nm Zen 2 architecturethatwill be hitting the market in 2019. 12nm Zen+ Pinnacle Ridge architecture provided roughly a low single-digit uplift in instructions per clock (IPC) compared to14nm Summit Ridge, but AMD has more ambitious goals for Zen 2.
Back in July, it was rumored...

Last year, Intel threw down the gauntlet with respect to HEDT processors with the Core X-Series. Available with up to 18 cores (36 threads), these chips provided a stiff challenge to AMD's first-generation Ryzen Threadripper processors (albeit with much higher MSRPs). Now with AMD'ssecond-generation Ryzen...

Yesterday we talked about a software update AMD is rolling out for its top tier Ryzen Threadripper processors, one that will flip a switch called Dynamic Local Mode (DLM) for improved performance. What we didn't discuss is the potential impact this could have on gaming. It's worth revisiting the topic, because...
