Things to know if you’re looking to upgrade.
RYZEN 3000 USES THE NEW ZEN 2 MICROARCHITECTURE
The Ryzen 3000 processors are based on AMD’s new Zen 2 architecture, the successor to both Zen and Zen+. Much like the ‘tock’ in Intel’s now dead tick-tock model, Zen 2 represents a major overhaul of the CPU design. It’s taken a leaf from the book of AMD’s Epyc server CPUs, codenamed Rome, and features "chiplets” built on TSMC’s 7nm process. These contain CPU cores and are paired with a 14nm I/O die that provides direct connections to memory, which should alleviate concerns about latency that plagued the Zen and Zen+ chips.
Overall, AMD is claiming a 15 per cent improvement in IPC for Ryzen 3000, which is good news for both single-threaded and multithreaded performance. In fact, AMD’s own numbers in Cinebench R20 puts the octa-core Ryzen 7 3800X, which has a base clock of 3.9GHz and boost clock of 4.5GHz, at 3 per cent ahead of the Core i79700K in single-threaded performance. This is quite impressive, especially considering that the Intel chip boosts to 4.9GHz, although it should be noted that Cinebench R20 is a floating point rendering test that AMD already does well on.
LOOK OUT FOR THE RYZEN 9 3900X AND RYZEN 7 3700X

Of Embracing Escapism And Confronting Reality
As you embark on the journey that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth offers, there’s a moment that distinctly shifts the narrative’s atmosphere: Aerith pauses to take in the in-game scenery with a sense of wonder, which stood in stark contrast to the earlier parts of the game, where the flower girl, alongside other FFVII key companions such as Cloud and Tifa, navigates the cramped slums and towering corporate skyscrapers of Midgar.
