AMD
AMD is making its current-generation desktop processors,and some of their supporting technology,a little more affordable. The chipmaker has introduced two new Ryzen 3 chips,the 3.6GHz 3100 and 3.8GHz 3300X,that will be available in May for $99 and $120 respectively. They’re both four-core chips,but they could be significantly more powerful than past models in some tasks — they’re the first Ryzen 3 CPUs with simultaneous multithreading,letting them handle up to eight threads at once.
There’s good news even if you aren’t building a PC on a budget. AMD is trotting out a B550 chipset that promises mainstream motherboards with PCI Express 4.0. You won’t have to buy a pricier X570 board or a custom-integrated PC to take advantage of that doubled bandwidth for your next video card or solid-state drive. Unfortunately,you’ll have to be patient. The first motherboards from ASUS,Gigabyte,MSI and others won’t arrive until June 16th. If you can be patient,though,you might get to build a low-cost desktop that’s still reasonably future-proof.
