Ryzen is a product of AMD's advanced Zen microprocessor architecture, which revolutionised the high-performance PC industry in early 2017. Modern Ryzen multi-core processors offer excellent performance and high energy efficiency to rival Intel's more powerful 7th generation Kaby Lake processors, at a much more attractive price. DDR4 memory, USB3.1 and M.2 SSD ports support the most demanding new technologies, and all Ryzen processors are open multiplier! This means that choosing a quality cooler and X370 or B350 chipset motherboard can significantly increase the performance of Ryzen processors, even in Windows thanks to the "Ryzen Master" tool.

Intel's Raptor Lake architecture Core i5 processors are available from October 2022. They use the familiar Intel 7 chips, which have undergone a number of significant improvements - double the number of Efficient cores, increased operating frequencies and other optimizations - that add up to a tempting performance boost. It's no coincidence that immediately after the release, TechPowerUp named the Core i5-13600K the best gaming processor! Intel's 13th generation Core i5 processors are compatible with both the new Z790 motherboards and the previous generation Z690 and B660 DDR4 models, making them a much better value for money compared to the competition.

Intel Gen13 processors are compatible with both the new Z790 motherboards and the previous generation Z690 and B660 models, so financially Intel's platform costs are far more attractive than the competition.

The first Intel "Raptor Lake Refresh" Core i5 processors with an unlocked multiplier hit the market in October 2023. They deliver very high performance in PC gaming at a fairly democratic price. While the number of P and E cores and the power consumption of this series of processors have remained unchanged, the maximum clock frequency of the Core i5-14600K and i5-14600KF processors has increased to 5.30 gigahertz. So Intel's 14th generation processors have become even more efficient and powerful. An additional advantage is the compatibility with all existing Intel 600s. and 700 series motherboards, which guarantees lower overall system costs compared to competitors.

The new AMD 7000 Series Ryzen 5 hexa-core processors deliver unprecedented performance in their class, matching even Intel's 12th generation Core i9 models in most PC games. The new AM5 platform with the very latest DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 technologies ensures that this system will be relevant for years to come, opening up upgrade possibilities with the top-end Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 9 processors.

The 14th generation Intel Raptor Lake Refresh processors are built on the Intel 7 architecture. The Core i7-14700K and i7-14700KF are priced at the same level as their previous generation equivalents, but the 4-core increase in E-core count and increased cache bring the new Core i7 processors even closer to the most powerful Intel i9 models.

AMD Ryzen 7000 series processors are on sale from September 2022. The new AM5 platform introduces a number of significant improvements. The processors use a brand new AM5 socket with LGA technology - the "pins" are no longer on the processor, but on the motherboard. The best news is that the new socket is fully compatible with existing AM4 coolers, so the choice is virtually unlimited from day one. DDR5 RAM and PCI-Express 5.0 support for both the video card and the 5th generation M.2 NVMe SSD have also been introduced, which will keep the system competitive for years to come. The octa-core Ryzen 7 7700X delivers an excellent price/performance balance and will be a successful choice for any PC gaming enthusiast, with power to spare for photo and video processing tasks too.

13. paaudzes Intel "Raptor Lake" Core i9 procesori pārdošanā pieejami no 2022. gada oktobra. Tāpat kā "Alder Lake" modeļi, tie būvēti uz "Intel 7" mikroshēmām, taču inženieri ir veikuši nozīmīgas optimizācijas pašā arhitektūrā, dubultojuši energoefektīvo Efficient kodolu skaitu, kā arī pamanījušies paaugstināt procesora takts frekvenci līdz pat iespaidīgiem 5.80 GHz! Šī kombinācijas sniedz iespaidīgu veiktspējas pienesumu pār saviem priekšgājējiem kā datorspēlēs, tā produktivitātes lietotnēs. Neskatoties uz to, ka jaunie procesori ir savietojami ar iepriekšējās paaudzes Z690 platēm, pilna potenciāla sasniegšanai rekomendējam izmantot Z790 čipseta DDR5 pamatplates, kurām palielināts ātrdarbīgo PCIe 4.0 un 5.0 līniju skaits un veiktas vēl vairākas optimizācijas.

Intel's 14th generation "Raptor Lake Refresh" Core i9 processors went on sale in October 2023. Thanks to the mature Intel 7 microarchitecture and engineering optimizations, the Core i9-14900K and 14900KF models' Boost Frequency has reached 6.00 GHz, delivering a clear performance boost in every application compared to Intel's 13th and especially 12th generation processors. On the positive side, the Raptor Lake Refresh models stick to the LGA1700 socket and are therefore fully compatible with Z790 and even Z690 motherboards.
