Meteor Lake could still offer up Core i3 and i5 desktop processors, in yet another twist from the rumor mill, this time courtesy of a Linux leak.

If it arrives at all, because the latest from the grapevine on Twitter is that Intel is struggling with the processor, and may abandon it yet.

Stuttering issues with Ryzen CPUs should now be cured, thankfully, and there's another fix for a DLSS-related bug with patch 1.63, too.

Raptor Lake Refresh processors are supposedly set to arrive in October, so we've not got long to wait - with Meteor Lake laptop chips also due in Q4.

Budget 3D V-Cache? That's a definite possibility with new reports indicating that AMD is prepping to launch a Ryzen 5 5600X3D CPU for the AM4 platform.

The stylish and subtle T-FORCE SIREN GA360 ARGB All-in-One Liquid Cooler made its debut at Computex 2023 and is on track for launch in July 2023.

FSP's brought a lot more than PSUs to Computex 2023, with new CPU coolers also coming soon. Including a dual fin-stack CPU cooler called the MX09.

Rumor has it that Beast Lake CPUs, potentially due in 2026, could offer monstrous performance for single-core and take the gaming crown from X3D.

If the latest leak is right, the Arrow Lake 8+32 core top dog could be up to a staggering 75% faster than Raptor Lake flagship with multi-core performance.

ASUS shows off new ProArt series 420mm CPU AIO Cooler, focusing more on form and function over aesthetics. More information at a later date.

Another sighting of an 'Ultra' branded processor suggests Intel might be forging ahead with a rebranding along these lines - but we hope not.

No more gold wafers are to be included with the Alder Lake flagship, with new packaging consisting of a much slimmer wafer-less box.

Meteor Lake Core i5 CPUs aren't coming for the desktop, a new rumor suggests, while casting doubt on high-end Arrow Lake - but don't panic about that.

Rumor mill previously floated the idea of a first half of 2024 launch, but another leak puts Ryzen 8000 in the same timeframe as Intel's Arrow Lake.

But Intel might need every bit of that major performance uplift if Arrow Lake isn't arriving until late in 2024, and Zen 5 is as peppy as promised.

A consensus seems to be forming among prominent leakers on the AMD side that Zen 5 processors should offer a 20% IPC uplift compared to Ryzen 7000.

As if the whole Raptor Lake refresh and what Meteor Lake CPUs may or may not be inbound wasn't confusing enough, now we've got an odd name on the table.

AMD has already provided a new AGESA to put restrictions in place to resolve the issue, and motherboard makers should have new BIOS releases imminently.

With reports of AMD's new Ryzen 7000X3D processors with 3D V-Cache burning out damaging both the chip and motherboard, AMD issues a statement.

Is Intel really going to release Meteor Lake desktop processors this year? It seems this is still a possibility, although we're not overly convinced.

There's been a great deal of concern about why some Zen 4 processors are literally burning out, but now we know more about what's going on here.

The move follows a number of worrying reports recently about Zen 4 3D V-Cache processors dying (and the motherboards they're in, too).

Performance showdown sees Linux victorious over Microsoft's OS, but the margin of victory has to be taken into account - plus other factors besides.

Meteor Lake laptop CPUs could hit 5.4GHz and rule the roost for gaming laptops, unless Intel is too slow off the mark with these mobile processors.

This was literally a fleeting glance at Zen 6 server processors as mentioned on a LinkedIn profile, and it's a leak we should be ultra cautious around.

Another rumor has popped up on Zen 5 - they're coming thick and fast now - which makes it seem like these CPUs will be a huge leap forward over Ryzen 7000.

Mainly because it comes from the brains behind the original Zen architecture, Jim Keller, who seems to think Zen 5 will be a big leap forward.

Does the Ryzen 7 "Zen 4" 7800X3D reclaim the CPU gaming crown for AMD? Read on as we put AMD's newest gaming processor to the test and find out.

At last it seems that AMD Ryzen 7000 PCs on the AM5 platform are now booting much faster, in fact, almost twice as quickly going by one report.

Indeed, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is faster in some games, and overall, offers very much the same performance as the more expensive 3D V-Cache flagship.

Leaked presentation slide from AMD shows that the Ryzen 7 7800X3D outguns Intel's flagship Core i9-13900K by up to 30% in one game.

One leaker believes we could be looking at a 15% to 20% speed boost, another contends that Zen 5 processors might push performance higher still.

Ryzen 8000 processors aren't ready for a surprise attack late in 2023, it seems, as GIGABYTE has clarified it made a mistake in a recent press release.

Leaked benchmark shows Ryzen 7800X3D trailing behind some other AMD processors, including a last-gen model too - but there's nothing to be concerned about.

The range of processors to succeed Ryzen 7000 chips might turn up later in 2023, and if so, Intel could have its work cut out to compete.

Enermax's ETS-F40-BK-ARGB is a CPU air cooler to add to your shortlist of potentials, after it managed to tick many of the boxes for things we look for.

Corsair's new iCUE H150i ELITE LCD XT impresses with its great performance and visuals, but it's not all completely smooth sailing with its high price tag.

RTC bug has been around since the Ryzen 3000 range, and still hasn't been fixed by AMD it seems, with the glitch reportedly affecting the Zen 4 flagship.

The processor that promises to be a big hit with gamers has been spotted priced up by retailers in Europe, but with price tags above the recommended level.

This is the first time we've heard about Panther Lake, which may be the CPU range to follow Lunar Lake, and will supposedly pack Intel Celestial graphics.

Just bought yourself a shiny new 3D V-Cache flagship processor? You'll want to get the most out of the chip, so it's worth reading AMD's quickstart guide.

The 7900X3D has been confirmed as running with two chiplets of 6-cores, an even split of the 12-cores, although that's disappointed some gamers out there.

The Ryzen 9 7950X3D and 7900X3D processors are set to be gaming champs, and spilled details from AMD explain exactly how this should be achieved.

AMD delivers its second-generation 3D V-Cache processors and we start out by testing the Ryzen 9 "Zen 4" 7950X3D CPU. Should you buy it? Let's see.

Intel's Core i9-13900KS "Raptor Lake" CPU is the first to hit 6GHz boost out of the box, but you're going to need to deploy a solid cooling setup.

You seemingly won't have to worry about the wrong CCD getting priority - a beta BIOS shows the user will be able to tweak this priority for Ryzen 9 models.

This security flaw could allow an attacker to take control of your PC, but the good news is that it's been patched in the latest version of AMD's utility.

DeepCool's LS720 CPU liquid cooler gets put to the test and comes out looking rather rosy, but the sound levels produced might not impress everyone..

MSI's new MAG CORELIQUID C360 CPU liquid cooler managed to tick many of the boxes we look for during our testing and doesn't do much wrong at all.

be quiet!'s Pure Rock LP CPU air cooler is perfect for those building small HTPC/SFF systems, but it doesn't come without its faults, such as the price.
