TechRadar - Can AMD's upcoming Bulldozer processors possibly compete with the latest second-generation Intel Core chips, the bonkers-quick CPU otherwise known as Sandy Bridge?
Bulldozer isn't due out until later this year but we can now give you the beginnings of an answer: yes, no and maybe.
It's time to give your setup the upgrade of its lifetime with this Cyber Monday AMD Ryzen 7 5700X Cyber Monday deal.
Amazon is currently offering the historic lowest-ever price on the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 CPU for a limited time.
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).
Hopefully, I was going to wait for Bulldozer to upgrade but if it takes too long Sandy Bridge will have to do. If Bulldozer's graphics are on 5870 level then Intel will have a tough time competing, and knowing AMD's pricing trends the new APU will be relatively cheap.
