AMD's previous-gen processors remain extremely capable chips with incredible performance-per-dollar value. You can now snag a processor with an up to 50% discount and get a free game.

Today, ahead of CES, Intel showed off its next generation of mobile processors, codenamed Tiger Lake. Based on the 10nm+ process, the new chips promise significant performance gains.

For E3 this year, AMD announced new hardware, such as the Radeon RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT, its new dedicated GPUs that are meant to deliver a superior 1440p gaming experience on the RDNA architecture.

Today, Huawei has released its new ARM-based Kunpeng 920 CPU designed for server workloads alongside a range of TaiShan servers incorporating the chip targeting storage and high-density scenarios.

The new version of CPU-Z adds support for Intel's ninth-generation Core processors. The list from the developer suggests that the new generation will add at least six new products to the lineup.

To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the x86 architecture, Intel's first 5GHz Coffee Lake-based desktop chip, the i7-8086K is now on sale, but with only 50,000 units slated for retail availability.

Intel demoed a 28-core 5GHz processor earlier this week at Computex, stating that it would launch it later this year. However, the company "forgot" to mention that it had overclocked that processor.

In an announcement at Computex 2018, Intel decided to show off a 28-core CPU clocked at a blistering 5GHz in a live demo. The yet-to-be-named processor could launch by the end of the year.

Intel made a number of announcements at Computex today, including its first ever 5GHz processor for the company's 50th anniversary, and new Amber Lake Y-series and Whiskey Lake U-series CPUs.

Intel has been taking the brunt of the consumer backlash over the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities found in its CPUs, but AMD is also starting to take some heat in the form of legal action.

In its quarterly earnings call for investors, the company vowed that it was working to fix the flaws in its chips, and vowed that its processors due out later this year will be vulnerability-free.

Faced with growing criticism over the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities found in its chip designs, Intel has been trying to respond quickly with fixes and updates. But they may have been too quick.

AMD has maintained that its processors are immune to Meltdown and that its chip architecture made it likely that Spectre posed zero risk. However, it is still issuing updates to mitigate risk.

Just ahead of CES 2018, Intel has announced its eighth-generation H-series processors, which include dedicated AMD Radeon graphics, and can be clocked at up to 4.2GHz on the high-end model.

With an eye on better vertical integration and improved margins, HTC is reportedly developing its own line of processors with ST-Ericsson, with the first CPUs being launched in its devices next year.
