AMD's new Ryzen 9000 CPUs are reportedly suffering the 'worst launch since Bulldozer' thanks to 'disastrous' sales
AMD's new Zen 5-based Ryzen 9000 CPUs have taken a bit of a beating when it comes to the broader review community. But they weren't that bad, more slightly underwhelming in gaming than in any way broken. Our own chip-fancier Nick is a bit more positive that most (despite his own travails during testing) and points out the Ryzen 9 9950X in particular is pretty killer for productivity apps and anything that feeds on lots of threads.
