I think we can all agree that 2020 could have gone a little better. Still, we can’t deny that throughout the year, tech companies came out with some impressive products—especially in terms of computer components like graphics cards and processors. Being such hot products has made it tough to get your hands on some of these items; however, assuming that production catches up in 2021, you might want to start planning out your next gaming PC build and figuring out which components to keep an eye on.
We are going to do a deeper dive on the components that are going to have a larger impact on gaming performance, and then a quick roundup of the other computer pieces.
Processors (CPUs)
Starting with the brain of your computer is a good place, especially since the CPU determines what types of other components you should/can use. For most people, you are likely considering joining the Red team or the Blue team, aka AMD or Intel®, respectively. Both came to 2020 ready to play, so it will likely be a tough decision. Here are the basics.
AMD made some big moves recently with the release of its “Zen 3” 7nm architecture. Known better as the Ryzen 5000 series, these processors come with the promise of a 26% boost in 1080p gaming and a 19% improvement for general PC workloads. For average gaming, the six-core Ryzen 5 5600X and eight-core Ryzen 7 5800X will most certainly get the job done.
