We don’t know about you, but we’re still a bit bitter after Nvidia’s 30-series GPU launch that resulted in the majority of people being left in the cold after bots and scalpers cleaned out all the available stock. But, we’ve been assured, more than once, that AMD knows how to do a hardware launch properly. And so, with their Ryzen 5000 series release date on the horizon, we have high hopes.
AMD Ryzen 5000: What To Expect
AMD will be following their usual route and releasing four new CPUs as part of their 5000 series lineup; 5600X, 5800X, 5900X, and the 5950X. Today, we’re looking at the 5900X. AMD has already shown us a quick glimpse at what we can expect from these cards in their latest presentation (which you can watch above) and the 5900X is the perfect CPU for hardcore PC gamers who want the latest upgrade for their build.
