Soapbox: Why Sony’s PS5 Strategy Will Pay Dividends
Sammy believes giant is right to target hardcore gamers.
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: the PlayStation 5 is poised to “fail”, and op-ed writers around the world are scrambling for the hottest take. One article published by financial site CCN – not to be confused with American news network CNN, to be clear – was bold enough to declare the device “dead on arrival”. The author’s reasoning? Sony’s targeting hardcore gamers.
The scepticism takes me back to the halcyon days of 2013, when there was strong chatter that the company was on the cusp of bowing out of the industry entirely. Its response: to laser target hardcore gamers with a PlayStation 4 marketing campaign which celebrated its 20 year legacy. As it now approaches 100 million units, the success of the company’s current console cannot be questioned.

AMD Processors: the best AMD CPUs in 2019
In the last few years, the AMD vs Intel battle has been heated up considerably, thanks in large part to the best AMD processors that have been Intel a run for its money. While Intel has traditionally taken the CPU crown in the past, AMD has slowly been getting to the top of the pile, even outselling Intel in the desktop space because of its Ryzen 2nd Generation chips.
AMD isn’t stopping anytime soon, either. It’s definitely looking to continue this trend with its Ryzen 3rd Generation processors, led by the Ryzen 9 3950X which will be the first 16-core processor to hit the mainstream market when it hits the streets in September. Luckily, the rest of the mainstream Zen 2 lineup is already out.
So among all the generations available right now, we gathered all the best AMD processors you can buy, from the budget Ryzen 3 2200G to the incredibly powerful Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX. We’ve tested all of these AMD processors ourselves as well, so you can be sure that you’re getting your money’s worth. We even included our exclusive price comparison tool, so you know you’re getting the best deal.
The Ryzen 9 3900X is the most powerul mainstream processor in AMD’s lineup – or at least it will be until the Ryzen 9 3950X comes out. Without stepping up to the HEDT market, this processor absolutely destroys everything in its path with its multi-threaded performance, beating Intel at the same price. That is, despite this chip’s single core performance, which is still marginally slower than Intel. If you’re looking for the absolute best processor money can buy on the mainstream market, you’ve found it.
Read the full review: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X
If you need a processor that will let you play the best PC games without breaking the bank, the AMD Ryzen 5 2600X will take you a long way in gaming. With 6-cores, 12-threads and a boost clock of 4.2GHz, it should be more than powerful enough to handle most AAA games at any resolution. You won’t be able to play something like Battlefield V at 200 fps, but when you’re saving this much cash on one of the best AMD processors on the market, it’s hard to complain. Just make sure you pair it with a decent cooler, because it can get pretty toasty.

Building a home theater PC? The trick is to find affordable parts that won’t require a lot of power. With just a 65W TDP and a very approachable price tag, the AMD Ryzen 3 2200G is, without a doubt, among the best AMD processors for HTPC builds. This is a single-threaded chip, and doesn’t have the highest clock speeds, so it’s definitely not ideal for gaming. But, at this price point, it doesn’t need to be. Plus, if you’re just playing PC games in 1080p, you should be fine.
Read the full review: AMD Ryzen 3 2200G
Any burgeoning PC hardware enthusiast is going to want to pay attention to this AMD processor. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950WX is probably the best intro to HEDT hardware you could ask for. It’s affordable too – for an HEDT chip, and its 4.4GHz boost clock across 16-cores and 32-threads means that it will give you formidable single and multi-threaded performance. It doesn’t come with a CPU cooler out of the box, but when you’re getting into this realm of PC hardware, you’re expected to bring your own cooler, anyway.
Read the full review: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950X
This is it, the big one. The Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX is the fastest of the AMD processors you can buy today, without dropping stacks on an Epyc chip. This absolute beast of a processor is furnished with 32-cores and 64-threads – not to mention, a boost clock of 4.2GHz. Combine all that with the massive 64MB of cache, and you’ve got in your hands one of the most powerful chips on the market on your hands. Just keep in mind, that with its 250W TDP, you’re going to need some serious cooling to keep temperatures in check.

The next Amazon Echo may be a high-end speaker, followed by an Alexa home robot
Amazon is said to be working on a higher-end Echo smart speaker, according to a new report today, and that’s no surprise given how successful Sonos and Google have been with more powerful versions of their smart speakers.
This high-quality Echo packs more audio components into a wider frame than prior models, reports Bloomberg, yet it should still retain its signature cylindrical shape. It will include at least four tweeters, said people familiar with the product.
It’s an obvious move for Amazon, which has already cornering the smart speaker market at other price points. But it’s left a void at the top, one that the Sonos Play:1 and Google Home Max have filled.
The Echo line of Alexa-powered speakers are frequent best sellers, especially during major sales seasons, like the upcoming Amazon Prime Day 2019.
High-end audio…and a home robot?
The bigger Echo is being developed by Amazon’s hardware R&D division Lab126, which had previously reported to be working on an Alexa-controlled home robot called Vesta. Today’s news affirms that work continues on the domestic ‘bot, which was expected to be at least introduced this year, but is reportedly not ready for mass-production.
Just what Vesta can do is still a mystery, but today’s Bloomberg report sheds more light on the product: prototypes are around waist-height and get around thanks to computer-vision cameras. That sounds like the kind of computer-assisted navigation that Amazon has left to Google’s Waymo and Apple’s self-driving car experiments, which is intriguing territory for a company that made its bones on hardware basics.
Details are still scarce about both projects, and neither are seemingly far enough along to have release dates.

You can watch all the action from Centre Court no matter where you are in the world with our Wimbledon Federer vs Nadal live stream guide below.
Nadal eased to victory against Federer at the same stage of the French Open last month, but today should be different, with the Swiss eight-time Wimbledon champ playing on his preferred surface of grass.

Both players have rolled back the years with their runs to the semi-final. Nadal in particular showed plenty of resilience to see off Nick Kyrgios within four sets during their thrilling second round match – the only one where the Spaniard has dropped a set. Meanwhile Federer has so far hit an astonishing 206 winners to 88 unforced errors in his five matches at this year’s Wimbledon Championships – not bad for an old-timer who will be celebrating his 38th birthday next month.
It’s set to be a classic Wimbledon moment, and one you’ll be able to watch using the guide below – read on to find out how to get a Federer vs Nadal live stream from 2019 Wimbledon no matter where you are in the world and see who will face Novak Djokovic in Sunday’s final.

Marvel’s Avengers Gameplay Will Only Be Shown to Comic-Con Attendees
Marvellous.
After a wonky unveiling at E3 earlier this summer, Marvel’s Avengers hasn’t done a great amount to restore faith. Many who have actually seen the game in action say it looks decent enough, but there are still so many unanswered questions. It’s the kind of uncertainty that can damage perception of a title before it’s even given a chance.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Multiplayer to Be Shown in Full on 1st August
This means war.
Right now, several Twitch streamers are playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare live. They’re busy showing off Gunfight, a new 2 vs 2 competitive mode played on tiny maps where loadouts change every round. It’s the first time the game has been shown publicly, but we’re not getting a ton of information out of it. Hold on for a few more weeks, though, as Infinity Ward is about to fully unveil its latest shooter’s multiplayer.
On 1st August, Modern Warfare’s multiplayer “universe” will be properly revealed. We expect we’ll see a brand new trailer highlighting the competitive options, but it’s possible the developer will delve into the co-op side of things as well. We’ll find out soon enough, but we do hope Activision plans to show the single player off at some point too.
