Tensor cores, Quantum processing units, Raytracing dedicated cores... There's a ton of new processing units.

If you have the chance, check the interview Gamer's Nexus did with the Co-Founder of Principled Technology (on GN's YouTube Channel). It's an uncut, transparent interview.

Samsung's huge choke on production will hurt us again, sigh. I'm not too fond at the idea of a new memory type, but it's still sad that this new market could be hindered by a monopoly.

I must not understand how the rankings work, because if we look only at the two scores, the TR 2950X should be above the 8700K (194 points being higher than 170.4). But it's in 13th position ?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but one would be better off getting a 2700x for roughly the same price as a 1900X, newer and about 5% faster overall.

I would say more efficient graphics (60fps) rather than better graphics. In competitive gaming, nobody is playing on "Epic" settings ("Ultra" equivalent on Fortnite), there's too many shadows and so on. Most popular streamers that play competitive have most settings on low. In the end, console...

@Milkod2001 if you keep waiting for the next gen you won't ever buy a GPU or a CPU.

Solely in term of budget, the Cooler Master Hyper Evo 212 still does the job really nicely. It's cheap yet offers great value.

Is there a reason why you are opting for an MX100 SSD instead of the more recent MX500 (which is also cheaper for the same capacity) ? If not, then I would suggest getting the latter, which is less expensive, more recent, and faster overall.

You will be just fine with 8Gb. You can always buy another RAM stick if you feel the need later on. Unless you start doing some heavy video editing (and not just some casual stuff), you shouldn't need more RAM. The fact that you're asking about it tells me you're probably not a heavy RAM user...

Great article, that was a nice read. Thanks Nathaniel.

Nothing special with having a 6-core CPU in a laptop... the 8700/8700k has 6 cores.

With Fortnite not being available on Android, I doubt this cellphone makes it possible to play the game fast right now.

"Affordable" I like how they put that word on their slide.

No mention of the Arctis 7 with its GameDAC ? it's mentioned of almost every other side.
