Don't panic when Intel CPU prices are soaring! Cost-effective game console installed like this



Recently, Intel CPU prices have ushered in a surge. For example, the mid-to-high-end Core i5 and Core i7 have increased by several hundred yuan. It is definitely not worthwhile to start at the current price. Fortunately, the price of the AMD Ryzen platform has been stable. Coupled with AMD graphics cards and Freesync monitors that have been reducing prices recently, AMD hardware is definitely the best choice if you want to install a cost-effective gaming computer recently. This mid-range game configuration with a display can be won at 7,500 yuan, which is relatively low-priced in the recent configuration of "Golden Equipment Shop".


Ryzen platform is more cost-effective
There are different opinions on the reasons for Intel CPU. The increase of several hundred yuan has already made many players find it unacceptable. Compared with a stable Ryzen CPU, the price gap has been widened again. This time, the little lion recommends the Ryzen 5 2600. This product still uses the 12nm process and Zen+ architecture to allow higher processor frequency, lower cache latency, single-thread performance improvement, and support for memory frequency increases. Ryzen 5 2600 has a 6-core 12-thread configuration, the default frequency is 3.4GHz, and the highest BOOST frequency can reach 3.9GHz. While the multi-core performance is significantly ahead of the eighth-generation Core i5, the single-core performance is not bad. More importantly, the price of the Ryzen 5 2600 is only 1399 yuan. The Core i5 8400, which was originally priced at a similar price, has risen to 1749 yuan, which is 350 yuan more expensive. The cost performance is clear at a glance.

The B450 is a new motherboard released this year. When it first went on the market, the price was a bit more expensive than the previous generation B350. However, the price of the B450 has also been reduced recently. The current price of the recommended Asus TUF B450M-PLUS GAMING is 649 yuan, while the previous generation TUF series B350 is only 599 yuan. The prices of the two are very close. By choosing B450, you can play with new functions such as overclocking and StoreMI, and you don’t have to worry about the problem that the BIOS is not updated and installed with Ryzen 5 2600.

Since the price increase of memory last year, the little lion remembers that I have not pushed the Kingston hacking magic strip Fury DDR4 2400 8GB for a long time. The reason is that its price is much more expensive than similar products of other brands. Recently, the price of Kingston’s Fury DDR4 2400 8GB is comparable to that of other brand products, so it has returned to the recommendation of "Golden Equipment Store".

Freesync monitor is the benefit of choosing A card
In addition to the high-cost performance of the Ryzen processor, the A card, which has been reducing prices, is also cost-effective. RX 580 8GB can be regarded as a good partner of Ryzen 5 2600, which is enough to ensure that it can play mainstream masterpieces with 1080P resolution and high image quality. In terms of specific products, Little Lion chose the Dylan RX 580 8G X-Serial God of War. The reason why I am pushing this product in the near future is because of its high-cost performance. This graphics card radiator has a red X shape, which is very beautiful when installed in a side-through chassis. At the same time, it has 6+1 phase power supply, X Hawkeye temperature control, 1380MHz highest frequency, dual BIOS and Ares dual-fan cooling system, etc. The performance and heat dissipation is good, and the price of 1799 yuan is really very real.

Now that you have chosen the A card, there is another free benefit you can receive, which is Freesync. This technology can achieve complete synchronization of graphics and monitor images, completely solve the problem of screen freezes under vertical synchronization, and allow players to have a perfect game visual experience with no tearing and no freezes. More importantly, Freesync will not increase the cost after it is applied to the display. Even the display with Freesync below 1,000 yuan is not rare, and the threshold for using Freesync is already very low. Although many 21.5-inch Freesync monitors can be purchased for less than 700 yuan, Little Lion does not recommend you to buy such products, because most of these products currently use TN screens, plus a small pitch, the experience is not good, And the 23-inch Freesync monitor is much better in terms of picture quality and experience.

Acer ED242QR is still a good choice. It has a 23-inch VA screen with 1920×1080 resolution, a response time of 4ms, a refresh rate of 144Hz, supports Freesync technology and also provides a combination of DVI+HDMI+DP video interfaces, whether it is image quality or The game experience is good, and the price is less than 1,000 yuan. It is a good choice for mainstream players to enhance the game experience.

Apple's self-developed computer processor, bid farewell to Intel CPU

American Apple announced on June 22 that it will install a self-developed CPU (central processing unit) on the personal computer "Mac". Since adopting Intel CPU in 2006, Apple will replace it after about 15 years. In addition to reducing the power consumption of the computer using the new CPU, it is also easy to collaborate with the iPhone. Apple held its annual developer conference "WWDC" online on June 22 and announced the news at the conference. Apple CEO Tim Cook (Reuters), who attended the online annual developer conference "WWDC", first put self-developed CPUs on some new Mac products that will be launched before the end of 2020. After that, it took about 2 years to change the CPU of all models to its own products. Apple has joined hands with ARM Holdings, which provides semiconductor design support, and the production is expected to be entrusted to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC, TSMC). Apple Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Tim Cook s...

Intel showcases smart edge and energy-efficient performance research results at 2020 VLSI seminar

At this week's 2020 VLSI Technology and Circuits Symposium, Intel will introduce a series of research results and technical perspectives on the transformation of computing caused by the growing data distributed on cores, edges, and endpoints. CTO Mike Mayberry will deliver a keynote speech entitled "Future Computing: How Data Transformation Reshapes VLSI", emphasizing the importance of transitioning from hardware/program-centric computing to data/information-centric computing.  "There is a huge amount of data flow on the distributed edge, network and cloud infrastructure, which requires high energy efficiency and powerful processing near the location where the data is generated, but this processing is often constrained by bandwidth, memory and power resources The Intel Research Institute highlighted several new methods for improving computing efficiency at the VLSI seminar. These methods show the broad prospects of various application fields, including robotics, aug...
