AMD Zen 3 Ryzen 9 4950x Intel Destroying 24 core 48 thread Processor? / Personal_Finance / Technology
By: HGR
It's only a few more months to go for our wait for AMD's latest Intel destroying retail processors will be over! It's ZEN 3 4th Gen processors, the 4000 series that look set to do to Intel what the 3rd Gen did last year. Even now Intel's latest offerings, it's 10th Gen processors have NOT managed to catch AMD's 3rd Gen processors up, so AMD looks set to soon widen it's lead over Intel, and thus encourage many more users to make the leap from Intel to AMD. Even the more costly XE's with their 18 cores can't beat the 16 core 3950x so what hope did the 10 core i9 10900k have? Okay maybe for gaming just manages to edge the 3950x by a few percent given the hgiher boost clock speed of 5.3ghz but for productivity it comes nowhere near.
But enough of Intel, what can we expect to start upgrading to from September onwards when AMD is expected to announce the 4900x and then within a couple of months the 4950x, how many cores and what clock speeds?

Ryzen 9 3950X Best UK Custom PC Builder 2020 - Scan.co.uk vs Overclockers.co.uk / Personal_Finance / Technology
By: HGR
Which is Britain's best value for money custom builder for a high spec PC that for early 2020 must be based on AMD's Ryzen 9 3950x, a 16 cores 32 thread Zen 2 7nm CPU that blasts everything else away in the market right now in terms of price vs performance.
So I imagine for most contemplating upgrading their ageing desk systems will be wondering should we go down the risky self build route or let the professionals handle it, which could be especially wise if you have either never built a PC before or it has been many, many years since one last plugged in an athlon into a CPU socket, the last thing you want to do is to experiment with £2000+ worth of kit!

Why 4790k Devils Canyon Processor Costs MORE USED in 2020 then When NEW! / Personal_Finance / Technology
By: HGR
Little did I know back in 2014, just months after Intel released their state of the art i7-4790k 4 core 8 thread processor code named Devils Canyon, an unlocked cpu for system builders to over clock well beyond the base clock of 4ghz all the way towards hitting the magic 5ghz clock speed, that I would still be using my then £2,500 system more than 5 years on!
So what is it about the 4790k which means not only has it stood the test of time in terms of processing power, but that it actually costs substantially more to buy NEW or USED then when it first went on sale in 2014!

PassMark Bench Mark of OVERCLOCKERS UK Custom Built Gaming PC (5) / ConsumerWatch / Technology

Just how well built are custom built gaming PC's by OverClockers UK. For whilst the component specs on paper may be great and the machine looks all spanking brand new on delivery. However the only real test is how the PC performs. Where the starting point for such evaluation is to run a bench marking software on the system so as to reveal any bottlenecks due to a poorly built PC, i.e. cutting corners on internal cabling etc. So here with the system up and running for the first time having booted into Windows 10 we ran the popular PassMark benchmarking software.

In part 2 of our buying a custom built gaming PC from an online builder such as OverClockers UK series, we open up the base unit to take a look at the installed components for what to check for in terms of the quality of build before plugging the PC in and booting it up for the first time, because during transit internal connectors can become loose, so it is always a good idea to check everything inside is secure and plugged as this video illustrates, before powering up the machine for the first time.
