AMD Radeon RX 5700 Review

Radeon RX 5700 is the second Navi card AMD launches today. Priced at $349, it is more affordable than anything NVIDIA has to offer in this segment, yet brings more performance to the table than RX Vega 64. What really impressed us is the greatly improved power efficiency, that's just as good as many NVIDIA Turing cards.

AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT And RX 5700 Review: 7nm Navi Debuts

AMD has been talking about its next-generation Navi GPU architecture for ages. It was over 3 years ago that we first mentioned Navi here on the HotHardware, and since then there has been a slow, steady stream of information disseminated to the public, leading up the last month’s big architecture disclosure at E3 and the official unveiling of the initial Radeon RX 5700 series line-up, which we will be showing you here...

AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT/RX 5700: A Step In The Right Direction

I wanted to have weeks to write this review but after 18-hour days for the past couple of weeks to endure all of the industry events like Computex 2019 and AMD's own Next Horizon Gaming event in LA, I'm pooped. I had to move both my house and my office in between these trips and now, with NVIDIA launching its new SUPER cards in the middle of it, and AMD seeding out its next-gen 7nm products in Zen 2 and Navi. It has been a rough month.

AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and Ryzen 9 3900X

It doesn’t feel like its been over two years now but back in March of 2017 AMD introduced their Ryzen CPUs and without a doubt changed the entire PC market. Things were stagnant in just about every PC market, but especially in the CPU market and the introduction of Ryzen quickly changed things. Before that time the mainstream CPU market got its yearly refreshed quad-core CPU and that was about it. Now today AMD is releasing a mainstream CPU with 12 cores and 24 threads and their low-end APUs are rocking 4 cores. Its been a wild ride and it has had Intel on the defensive. Well today's the day we finally get to take a closer look at the new lineup and AMD sent over the Ryzen 9 3900X and the Ryzen 7 3700X for me to check out. Before I do that I want to dive into the new 3rd generation of Ryzen and the Zen 2 architecture that is powering it. Then from there, we can see how both CPUs perform. Let's go!

AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Review

AMD's $330 Ryzen 7 3700X is an 8-core, 16-thread CPU that's clocked high enough to compete with Intel's offerings. Actually its application performance matches even the more expensive Intel Core i9-9900K. Gaming performance has been increased significantly too, thanks to the improved architecture and larger caches.

AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Review

The 3700X finds itself just below the 3800X, the top-tier 8-core, 16-thread model, though that position definitely isn't a bad thing. Chiefly amongst the positives is the 65W TDP, enabling users to run more conservative cooling solutions or achieve lower dB ratings for a given performance level. The 3700X rocks a 4.4GHz max boost clock and manages to maintain 3.6GHz across all 8-cores as a worst-case scenario.

AMD Ryzen 9 3900X And Ryzen 7 3700X Zen 2 Review: Zen 2 Is Here

The Zen 2-based AMD Ryzen 3000 series is easily one of the most anticipated product launches in the PC space in recent memory. AMD has essentially promised to address virtually all of the perceived shortcomings of the original Zen-based Ryzen processors, with the Ryzen 3000 series, while continuing to aggressively challenge Intel on multiple fronts – performance, power, price, you name it. AMD has been extolling the virtues of Zen 2 for quite some time, but in the last few weeks the company has really turned up the heat and revealed some exciting details, like single-thread performance on-par with Intel’s best, enhanced multi-threaded performance, and huge amounts of cache...

AMD Ryzen 9 3900X Processor Review

The Ryzen 3000 series is here! Besides the initial launch of Ryzen a couple of years ago this might by one of the most hyped launches when it comes to computer hardware. This is likely because AMD is upping core counts, speeds, and this might be where we see the AMD take over as the overall performance leader compared to Intel. We know Intel has the 16-core Ryzen 9 3950X coming in September, but right now on launch day the current available flagship is the Ryzen 9 3900X. This is a 12-core, 24-thread part that has a base core clock of 3.6 GHz and will boost all the way up to 4.6 GHz. It also has 70MB of AMD GameCache (we will cover that in a bit). All of this for only $499! Is this processor powerful enough to take out Intel’s Core i9-9900K? Let’s get this processor in a new X570 motherboard and see what it can do!

Anno 1800 Review

There seems to be a trend now that games have expanded a little too far, seemingly can’t look any further outwards and they’re going back to their roots. They’re polishing these up and making them the best, most absorbent, roots in the history of roots. It’s with these roots that series are hoping to capture the past glories that made them fan-favourites, that brought them the fame and success and essentially made them the series’ we know today. I’m not talking about a forest of trees, but there’s certainly some sort of analogy to be found in the spreading of roots to the spreading of your settlement(s) in Anno 1800.

While today marks the launch of a huge range of new products 7nm Radeon GPUs, and 7nm Ryzen CPUs! We’re also being spoilt with a huge range of brand new X570 motherboards. While we have lots of ATX models to show you today, we only have a single mini-ITX board. This comes in the form of the rather lovely looking AORUS X570 I Pro WiFi; the “I” in the name indicated it’s of their mini-ITX range. Don’t be fooled by the size though, it’s still packing an impressive feature set that’s sure to catch the attention of the enthusiast gaming market.

As with almost all X570 motherboards, it still features the same active cooling fan for the new chipset. That means it also packs in the latest PCIe 4.0 to its single PCIe lane, but also a pair of M.2 NVMe mounts with on on the front, and one on the rear of the motherboard. Of course, that means support for next-gen products, as well as the upcoming Gen4 SSDs.

How to Install Older Versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader on Windows

Both professionals and ordinary users need to deal with PDF files from time to time. The PDF format is exceptionally handy when it comes to sharing documents across different platforms. Once you convert your file to PDF, you can be sure that your receiver will be able to access its content, regardless of a PDF viewer he or she uses. But viewing PDFs’ content alone isn’t enough. Sometimes, you need to annotate the text or incorporate some amendments into document. That’s when things get more complicated, and that’s when PDF editing software comes in handy. Though there are hosts of PDF editors that are positioned as reliable, safe, and highly efficient, most users still give preference to time-tested options, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader. As of 2015, users got the opportunity to avail themselves of Adobe Reader’s latest DC version compatible with Windows 7 and later versions, as well as with Mac OS. Still, not all users take advantage of innovations and recent updates. There are plenty of adherents of older Windows versions and consequently, older versions of their favorite programs. This article will be particularly interesting to the category of users that want to install Adobe Reader on the computers running older versions of Windows, such as XP and earlier. So, if you’re looking for Acrobat Reader to install on your Windows PC, look no further. You can visit RocketFiles.com right away and get the desired version of the program in question from there. And we’ll guide you through the download and installation process as meticulously as possible. Just go on reading.

The AMD 3rd Gen Ryzen Deep Dive Review: 3700X and 3900X Raising The Bar

It’s the review we’ve all been waiting for. Since December last year – and particularly since CES – AMD has been teasing us about the new Zen 2 microarchitecture and AMD’s newest Ryzen 3000 series of CPUs. Incorporating a significantly upgraded CPU architecture and built using TSMCs latest generation manufacturing process, AMD has continued to run at full speed at a time when rival Intel has struggled to move at all. The end result is that while the first and second generation of Ryzen CPUs were all about AMD returning to competition and eating into Intels substantial performance lead, the Ryzen 3000 series is nothing less than AMDs first shot in nearly 13 years at meeting (or beating) Intel at their own game in the desktop CPU market. Its a big moment for AMD, and an exciting one in the CPU industry as a whole.

Today AMD launches its entire new CPU lineup and platform, alongside the new Navi-based Radeon RX 5700 series. In terms of CPU coverage, we’ll be taking a closer look at the new flagship, the $499 12-core Ryzen 3900X, as well as the $329 8-core Ryzen 7 3700X and its peculiar low TDP of 65W.
