AMD's Radeon HD 6950 ($300, as of 12/14/2010) sits at the lower end of AMD's new 6900 series lineup. While it doesn't blow away the competition, the combination of excellent performance, plenty of features, and an aggressive price make the 6950 a very strong value.
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).
Since the middle of February, customers of AMD graphics cards have been reporting situations in which Windows installations were entirely bricked after installing new drivers.
AMD's next best gaming CPUs are on the way
"This will make the X3D processors especially good for the best gaming PCs, and is something AMD needs to catch up to the raw gaming performance of the Intel Core i9-13900KS."
It's been a while since I kept up with processors, but it seems like the tables have turned a bit, at least for now.
