AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
A beastly “budget” gaming CPU that Christian Guyton has found has one big temporary drawback.

AMD isn’t messing around this time; Intel’s nifty Alder Lake core architecture put Team Blue in front in the current generation, and with 13th-gen Raptor Lake chips on the way, AMD clearly knew it had to swing for the fences. AMD is giving us a similar generational upgrade, but without resorting to ‘efficiency’ cores to save power; the result is a chip that dominates in single-core workloads, and still performs reasonably well when firing on all cores.
