AMD confirms plans to incorporate low-power CPU cores into next-generation heterogeneous CPUs to lower power consumption and improve energy efficiency.

Loongson has announced the 3C3000, a 16-core LoongArch server CPU with DDR4 ECC, 32 PCIe lanes, 40W typical power, and performance claimed to match the earlier 3C5000.

Intel’s flagship 52-core Nova Lake processor could feature a 474W PL2 power limit. At the same time, the new LGA1954 platform may introduce motherboard tiers for up to 175W CPUs and optional triple EPS power connectors on enthusiast boards.

We tested both CPUs across gaming, rendering, encoding, efficiency, and pricing to see if the Ryzen 7 5800X3D can keep up with the newer Core i7-14700K with DDR4.

Scalpers are trying to capitalize on the release of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Edition, asking nearly double the CPU’s suggested retail price.

AMD has re-released the Ryzen 7 5800X3D to provide some relief from high DDR5 prices, so we’re re-reviewing the CPU to see how it stacks up to current options around the same price.

Asus has released beta BIOS updates for several X870, B850, and X670 AM5 motherboards, restoring Transparent Secure Memory Encryption support for non-Pro Ryzen 9000 CPUs.

PC component bundles are one of the few ways to still build a PC at a reasonable price. Here are some of the best deals, and why bundles are so popular.

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D has hit a record low Amazon UK price of £339.99, making it a must-buy option for any gaming PC build or upgrade.
