If the latest leak is right, the Arrow Lake 8+32 core top dog could be up to a staggering 75% faster than Raptor Lake flagship with multi-core performance.

Another sighting of an 'Ultra' branded processor suggests Intel might be forging ahead with a rebranding along these lines - but we hope not.

No more gold wafers are to be included with the Alder Lake flagship, with new packaging consisting of a much slimmer wafer-less box.

Meteor Lake Core i5 CPUs aren't coming for the desktop, a new rumor suggests, while casting doubt on high-end Arrow Lake - but don't panic about that.

Rumor mill previously floated the idea of a first half of 2024 launch, but another leak puts Ryzen 8000 in the same timeframe as Intel's Arrow Lake.

But Intel might need every bit of that major performance uplift if Arrow Lake isn't arriving until late in 2024, and Zen 5 is as peppy as promised.

A consensus seems to be forming among prominent leakers on the AMD side that Zen 5 processors should offer a 20% IPC uplift compared to Ryzen 7000.

As if the whole Raptor Lake refresh and what Meteor Lake CPUs may or may not be inbound wasn't confusing enough, now we've got an odd name on the table.

AMD has already provided a new AGESA to put restrictions in place to resolve the issue, and motherboard makers should have new BIOS releases imminently.

Is Intel really going to release Meteor Lake desktop processors this year? It seems this is still a possibility, although we're not overly convinced.

There's been a great deal of concern about why some Zen 4 processors are literally burning out, but now we know more about what's going on here.

The move follows a number of worrying reports recently about Zen 4 3D V-Cache processors dying (and the motherboards they're in, too).

Meteor Lake laptop CPUs could hit 5.4GHz and rule the roost for gaming laptops, unless Intel is too slow off the mark with these mobile processors.

Another rumor has popped up on Zen 5 - they're coming thick and fast now - which makes it seem like these CPUs will be a huge leap forward over Ryzen 7000.

Mainly because it comes from the brains behind the original Zen architecture, Jim Keller, who seems to think Zen 5 will be a big leap forward.

Indeed, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is faster in some games, and overall, offers very much the same performance as the more expensive 3D V-Cache flagship.

Leaked presentation slide from AMD shows that the Ryzen 7 7800X3D outguns Intel's flagship Core i9-13900K by up to 30% in one game.

One leaker believes we could be looking at a 15% to 20% speed boost, another contends that Zen 5 processors might push performance higher still.

Ryzen 8000 processors aren't ready for a surprise attack late in 2023, it seems, as GIGABYTE has clarified it made a mistake in a recent press release.

AMD has strict safeguards for the Ryzen 5800X3D to prevent overclocking, but a software bug allows for ramping up the voltage - with disastrous results.

Leaked benchmark shows Ryzen 7800X3D trailing behind some other AMD processors, including a last-gen model too - but there's nothing to be concerned about.

The range of processors to succeed Ryzen 7000 chips might turn up later in 2023, and if so, Intel could have its work cut out to compete.

Corsair's new iCUE H150i ELITE LCD XT impresses with its great performance and visuals, but it's not all completely smooth sailing with its high price tag.

RTC bug has been around since the Ryzen 3000 range, and still hasn't been fixed by AMD it seems, with the glitch reportedly affecting the Zen 4 flagship.

The processor that promises to be a big hit with gamers has been spotted priced up by retailers in Europe, but with price tags above the recommended level.

This is the first time we've heard about Panther Lake, which may be the CPU range to follow Lunar Lake, and will supposedly pack Intel Celestial graphics.

We're surprised at how many units the Ryzen 9 7900X3D processor has shifted at launch, but the 7950X3D appears to be thin on the ground stock-wise.

Just bought yourself a shiny new 3D V-Cache flagship processor? You'll want to get the most out of the chip, so it's worth reading AMD's quickstart guide.

The 7900X3D has been confirmed as running with two chiplets of 6-cores, an even split of the 12-cores, although that's disappointed some gamers out there.

The Ryzen 9 7950X3D and 7900X3D processors are set to be gaming champs, and spilled details from AMD explain exactly how this should be achieved.
