The fight is back on
WhileIntelis still the dominant force in theCPUmarket, AMD has gained acclaim – and market share – with itsrecent Ryzen processors.
So, we’re eager to see what Ryzen 7000 series processors bring. Not only for the performance increases it’ll bring to our PCs, but also to see how Intel responds.
Intel is also preparing to launch itsRaptor Lakerange of processors around the same time, which will pit the two old rivals against each other. While Intel remains firmly in first place, AMD has a lot of momentum behind it and has been chipping away at its rival’s market share.
Intel is obviously aware of this, so the pressure is on for its Raptor Lake CPUs to really blow us away. From the rumors we’ve seen so far, it’s looking like that will indeed be the case. With bothIntel and AMDhaving major CPU releases this year, it’s an exciting time for people looking to upgrade their PC – or build a new one.
