A 9950X3D is in my future, if this is true.

Continuing the topic - I also have data that allows me to conclude that 4K game testing is a waste of time for a CPU review. If you go back, and look at all my reviews where I have done this, 4K is always, always, always, the same performance on every CPU. From that data, I would conclude that...

Because you are GPU-bound at the higher resolutions. But what happens if you upgrade your GPU, instantly the CPU choice will show a difference, and it becomes more pronounced and more pronounced over time. In the goal of reviewing CPU performance, we have to test in a way that does exactly...

If I test gaming performance at 4K, I am in a GPU-bound scenario, and then I am not performing a CPU review. My goal was to perform a CPU review, therefore I must put the system into a CPU-bound gaming scenario so that I can test CPU performance. Here are some relevant references.

Good News The first Kingdom Come Deliverance was a good game, this one is already off to a good start.

Don't have one planned, but I've been using a similar kit since Zen 4 launched, it's my standard RAM kit for the AM5 platform, and I've been using it for every GPU review. Solid kit, no complaints, works perfectly great, it's the right configuration for the best Ryzen performance. To be...

What do you do in Goat Simulator, pretend to be a goat?

Starfield had a lot of hype when it launched, and that worked for a very very brief amount of time, but then I noticed how quickly that fell off a cliff, and the game became nothing but a meme.

I really want an all P-Core option, an 8-Pcore only or 12-Pcore only CPU would be a great option for gaming.

I will have more information in an upcoming review, but installing some DDR5 CUDIMMs 8400, but running at 8200 MT/s currently, AIDA64's Cache Mem latency result is 88ns this is at 8200MT/s CL40-50-50-128 CR2. I will have some memory comparison data in an upcoming article at 6400, 8200, 8400 and...
