The ASRock Phantom Gaming B850 Riptide WiFi is an outstanding budget motherboard for AMD's latest CPUs. It comes with an impressive 14+2+1 phase power design VRMs, with 80A Dr.MOS SPS. PCIe Gen 5.0, an M.2 Gen 5 slot, an EZ heatsink toolless design, and more features help improve its incredible value. The 2.5G LAN network and the absence of a heatsink on the M2_2 are a few cons of the motherboard.

In Ultra 9 285K Vs Core i9-14900K, we will assess the performance improvements and efficiency gains from previous to the latest generation.

The MSI MAG X870E Tomahawk WiFi is an impressive addition to MSI’s X870E arsenal. It prioritizes performance over looks, with a minimalistic design but solid numbers across all our tests. Its VRM setup (14+2+1 DRPS with 80A SPS for VCore) should handle any AM5 CPU (but don’t expect serious overclocking). Additionally, the I/O (5G LAN, WiFi 7, dual Gen 5 M.2, and more) and EZ-DIY features make this an overall solid option for $299.

These recommended PCIe add-ons offer upgrades for wireless connectivity, storage options, USB connections, and NVMe SSD speeds.

In this comparison, we’ll explore how the Intel Arc A580 and NVIDIA RTX 4060 measure up in gaming benchmarks, efficiency, and value to see which one edges out in this close competition.

I'm skipping Nvidia for good this year, as AMD is offering better price, features, and overall performance.

PlayStation may be looking to use Guerrilla Games' Decima engine extensively across its many studios for more efficient development.

The MSI MAG B860 Tomahawk WiFi is a solid mid-range motherboard designed for Intel’s Core Ultra Series 2 processors.
