Today, AMD officially released its Matisse Refresh processors which consist of the Ryzen 5 3600XT, Ryzen 7 3800XT and Ryzen 9 3900XT. All three processors offer performance gains over their predecessors, and we'd highly recommend that you check out our full review to get the goods on how they compare to Intel's Comet Lake-S family. Maingear is taking the opportunity to launch the brand-new TURBO gaming desktop PC to coincide with the release of these Ryzen 3000XT processors, and it's quite the powerhouse. First of all, this small form-factor (SFF) machine is tiny, measuring just 6.7 inches x 14.4 inches x 12.3 inches. Despite its compact dimensions, Maingear can support the new Ryzen 5 3600XT...

It looks as though the rumors were accurate… again. AMD this morning just made its Ryzen 3000XT family of processors official, and the increased boost clocks are now confirmed for the Ryzen 5 3600XT, Ryzen 7 3800XT, and Ryzen 9 3900XT, which will be available for sale on July 7th. Previous leaks were all over the place with respect to clock speeds for these new processors, but the chart below gives us a clear picture of what to expect: As you can see, unlike what was stated with the previous leaked reports, there are no increases to the base clocks for these three new processors. Instead, we see mere 100MHz boost frequency increases for the Ryzen 5 3600XT and Ryzen...

There is plenty of smoke surrounding a batch of upcoming processors based on AMD's current-generation Zen 2 CPU architecture, and where there is this much smoke, you will usually find fire. That's not to say AMD has officially announced a Zen 2 refresh. However, in lieu of an official unveiling, the three rumored Zen 2 CPUs on tap have been spotted on a retail website in France. Those CPUs are all part of the Ryzen 3000XT series. The "XT" designation separates these from AMD's original Zen 2 lineup, as do the specifications. To be clear, these are not next-generation parts—they are still based on Zen 2, but with slightly beefier specifications compared to their regular "X" counterparts,...

It appears that the cat is completely out of the bag in regards to AMD's upcoming Matisse Refresh processors. Over the past week, we've learned quite a lot about these processors, and it seems as though AMD had been planning this move all along as a counterattack to Intel's Comet Lake-S family of processors that just launched. The Matisse Refresh (Zen 2) family of processors consists of the Ryzen 5 3600XT, Ryzen 7 3800XT, and Ryzen 9 3900XT. All three [allegedly] have higher base/boost clocks than the processors that they are replacing, and new 3DMark listings have reported the clock speeds of the latter two processors. The 3DMark listings shows that the Ryzen 7 3800XT...

AMD and Intel are in a dogfight in the CPU space, and unlike the days of old, it's actually a competition now. That's because AMD has done a spectacular job building up its Zen architecture, culminating (so far) in Zen 2. Meanwhile, Intel continues to squeeze out every ounce of performance it can from its 14-nanometer node. This has made things interesting, and if a set of leaked benchmarks are any indication, the next round will be the best yet. We are not talking about Zen 3 versus Intel's eventual 10nm (or 7nm) desktop processors. That will have to wait. But in the more immediate future, rumor has it AMD is prepping a round of refreshed Ryzen 3000 series processors to go up against Intel's...

What began as a trickle of information on AMD’s upcoming new processors is now turning into a flood. We first heard reports that AMD would release two new Zen 2 "Matisse Refresh" processors on Friday, and by Saturday, that number had grown to three new processors: the Ryzen 5 3600XT, Ryzen 7 3800XT, and the Ryzen 9 3900XT. That last report indicated that all of the chips would have higher base/boost clocks and "enhanced overclock support". Today, we're learning more about the three chips; specifically, when it comes to their clock speeds. Intel has been adamant about boosting clock speeds on its 10th generation Comet Lake-S processors -- at the expense of added...
