AMD Ryzen 3 3200G Review

This CPU is amazing. This CPU works very well with my  home motherboard. This works wonders with how cheap this CPU is .  This CPU only costed $104.99 on Newegg. This CPU is amazing for home PC’s. It works great for simple uses. This would be a very bad CPU if you wanted to play video games using it. It works great for just simple browsing. This is not a gaming CPU AT ALL. So If that is what you are looking for, then get away from this one as soon as possible. For simple use however, this is a great option, especially for how cheap it is. I really like the CPU’s that AMD makes. This one is not the greatest that they have made by any means. If your just using your PC every so often and not for any gaming use, this is a pretty good CPU choice.

*AM4 Socket

*4 Cores and 4 Threads

*3.6 GHz

INTEL core i9 – 13900k

Review of the INTEL core i9 – 13900K CPU

first off the INTEL core i9-13900K processer uses a FCLGA1700 socket, it also has 24 Cores and 32 Threads which has worked extremely well for me the passmark proves my opinion but its personal preference I really like the CPU and I don’t think I’m buying a new processor in a long time

all though yes its priced at a whopping $569.97 USD (2023-06-02). by far the most amount of money I’d ever spend but your paying for a high end Intel CPU so it’s exspected

Over all I really love having this CPU. It works greatly.

AMD Ryzen 3 3200G Review

The  Ryzen 3 3200G is a low-level processor made by AMD for the lower-priced market.  Currently available on Amazon for $93, I would not recommend this CPU for any mid to high-end user.  Although it has integrated graphics and includes the CPU cooler, the overall benchmark score is fairly low with a Passmark score of only 7144 at the time of this posting.

Experience:  Most games were extremely laggy with this processor if they installed at all.  Basic web browsing was fast and responsive.   Word processing and office tasks were also snappy and responsive.  The system I tested this on had 8GB of RAM and Windows 10 was installed on a SSD.  The CPU cache on this processor is comparatively low and I would not suggest limiting the system RAM below 8GB or putting your OS on a traditional HDD.

CPU Specifications

  • # of CPU Cores – 4
  • # of Threads -4
  • Max. Boost Clock -Up to 4.0GHz
  • Base Clock – 3.6GHz
  • L1 Cache – 384KB
  • L2 Cache -2MB
  • L3 Cache -4MB
  • Default TDP -65W
  • Unlocked for Overclocking – Yes
  • CPU Socket – AM4
  • Launch Date – 7/7/2019

Overall, as I stated earlier, I was not happy with this CPU.  There are other options far superior for near the same cost.  I would avoid purchasing this option if possible.

Intel Core i9-13900KS review

Today I will be reviewing this amazing piece of computing machinery that I have been very excited to get my hands on! The Intel Core i9-13900KS is an amazing CPU from the folks over at Intel. It cost me just about $649. I’ve been messing around with it lately and I’m here to inform you about everything that I love about it!My delivery was handled very well! I know this isn’t really considered a part of the review too much but handling of the package is very important to how the CPU as a whole is perceived. Installing the  CPU also went very well, I’m gonna guess that even a beginner could figure out how to install this CPU. I’d highly recommend this for any beginner PC builders out there. Now it’s time to discuss the performance.With a passmark rating of 61886, this is expected to be a great CPU! One of the most important things to a CPU’s performance is the CPU’s clock speed. This computer boasts an impressive E-core base frequency of 2.4 GHz and a P-core base frequency of 3.2 GHz. This CPU also contains 24 cores and 32 threads which really supports its power! It also contains a lot of cache to make its performance top-notch! It contains an L1 Instruction Cache: 8 x 32 KB, an L1 Data Cache: 8 x 48 KB, an L2 Cache: 8 x 2048 KB, and an L3 Cache: 36 MB! It also goes with the FCLGA 1700 socket that works with plenty of motherboards.

Overall this CPU is amazing! I recommend this to basically all PC owners out there! Cheaper PC builders might want to wait for a good deal though.

Intel Core i9-13900KS Review

This CPU worked amazing and I had no issues with it, I installed it into an ASUS Prime B760-PLUS Intel. I highly recommend this CPU. I didn’t have a single crash when using this CPU. During my 2 months of use of this CPU, I used it for gaming on high settings, watching movies, talking with friends, etc. It was a great CPU and I will probably be ordering another one to give to someone as a gift. 10/10

When using this CPU I was attempting to stress test the CPU by playing many graphically intensive video games such as Call Of Duty MWIII, Tekken 8, Cyberpunk 2077, and multiple more on high to max graphics, and this CPU performed amazingly. This is because the CPU scored a 61883 rating on PassMark. This is the best CPU in its category (at the time of this blog being posted). Once again, I cannot recommend this CPU more than I already have.

Fastest CPU Option AMD Ryzen 9 7950X Review

 

Once I bought my MSI MAG B650M MORTAR motherboard I wanted to get the fastest possible CPU which is the AM5 AMD Ryzen 9 7950X CPU. This CPU was the best decision and worked better than I was expecting.  I found this CPU on Amazon and it was $531.91. This price could change depending on the market and sales. At first, I was skeptical because of the price but after installing it I knew I made the right decision. I bought this CPU to be fast and be able to run any game and it is capable of that. When first researching this CPU the most impressive part of the product was the passmark rating.  This CPU’s passmark rating was in incredible 63101. Please note that this passmark rating can change if someone uploads a new rating. This rating as well as all my other information was found on the passmark CPU website where you can compare it to other CPU’s. I decided to run farming simulator 19 and it ran better than any other CPU I’ve ever had. It didn’t lag at all even with all of the mods I use that usually slows my game.

This CPU has an amazing clock speed of 4.5 GHz as well as having 16 cores and 32 threads. It also has and L1 instruction and data of 16 x 32 KB.  It has a L2 rate of 16 x 1024 as well as a L3 rate of 64 MB. This all together makes its amazing cache which runs my computer beautifully.
