AMD has launched its Zen 2 architecture in the form of the Ryzen 3000 processors.

We’ll be focussing on two CPUs today – the twelve-core, 24-thread Ryzen 9 3900X which is priced at £480 and designed to compete with Intel’s Core i9-9900K. The other contender is AMD’s Ryzen 7 3700X – an eight-core, 16-thread CPU that sports a 65W TDP and £320 asking price that positions it firmly against the Core i7-9700K.
