BenchmarkReviews.com: After months of rumors and speculation, Intel's 4th generation Core CPUs, code-named Haswell, are here. Haswell CPUs are a "tock"-- that is, a new microarchitecture-- in Intel's "tick-tock" annual release cycle. Based on the same 22nm fabrication process and 3-D transistors introduced with last year's Ivy Bridge CPUs, Haswell brings with it a new socket 1150, which means that you can't just drop it in to replace an Ivy Bridge or Sandy Bridge CPU, since you'll need a new motherboard. But what new features and performance does Intel's Haswell processor bring with it?
A six-core, 12-thread processor with a $299 price tag, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is a great choice for midrange gaming CPUs. Out of the new Zen 3-based processors the business is offering, it has the best core count and price ratio. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X stands out when compared to the typical Intel Core i5-10600K, offering Intel serious competition (even though it comes with a little higher price tag than we're used to from Ryzens).
The upcoming MacBook Air, including a new 15-inch model, is said to feature an 8-core M3 chip. Now that 2023 is here, the Apple rumor mill has gone into overdrive.
By presenting the Ryzen 7000 CPUs, which are highlighted by a 16-core chip with 32 threads, AMD has set out its laptop processor plan for 2023.
