AMD ZEN 4 UNWRAPPED - Welcome to the modern age
AMD’S ZEN ARCHITECTURE revitalized the CPU industry, bringing much-needed competition and higher core counts to consumers everywhere. It’s hard to believe we languished on 4-core Intel CPUs as the top mainstream solution for a full decade, starting with the Core 2 Quad in early 2007 and lasting until the Core i7-8700K launched in late 2017. If you wanted more CPU cores, you had to move to the more expensive LGA2011 HEDT (high-end desktop) platform. AMD kicked that idea to the curb with its first Ryzen 7 CPUs, and we’ve been watching an arms race of escalating core counts and clock speeds ever since.

THE LIST - THE TOP FIVE CAPTURE CARDS
WHILE NVIDIA AND AMD’S increasingly sophisticated capture software can do a fantastic job of livestreaming or recording your gameplay prowess for the world to see, if you’re taking things seriously, you’ll probably still need a capture card. That’s because you’ll either want to have a dedicated computer to take care of the recording and mixing for a professional look, or you might just want to play a console game now and again. This varied list of cards, covering a range of prices, resolutions, and card type, allow you to do just that.
