There are a lot of reviews out on the Internet and it's weekend so I'll keep it short. The new Ryzen 3000 lineup is extremely impressive. AMD managed to close the gap in areas where its Ryzen series was lagging behind, it offers excellent multi-threading performance as well as very good energy efficiency. In terms of gaming performance, Intel still has a slight edge, but AMD is now a very formidable competitor.
The Radeon RX 5700 series breathes new competition into the mid-range gaming market. Navi isn't as big a win for AMD as Zen 2, but for gamers it will definitely be hard to choose between the Radeon RX 5700 XT and the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER.
Today, AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) announced the global availability of its new leadership PC gaming platform based on AMD Radeon™ RX 5700 series graphics cards and 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen™ Desktop Processors, as well as AMD Ryzen™ 3000 Series Processors with Radeon™ Graphics (APUs). Together, these offerings take gaming performance, immersive experiences, and visual fidelity to new heights.
AMD Radeon RX 5700 series graphics cards redefine what is possible in 1440p gaming. Built on the ground-breaking all-new AMD RDNA gaming architecture and 7nm process technology, the new graphics cards deliver superior visual fidelity, lightning-fast performance and advanced features to power the latest AAA and eSports titles.
