It is January 2019 and that means it is time for the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) held in Las Vegas, Nevada. AMD is showing off their new Zen 2 architecture microprocessors (CPU or Processors) and accompanying partner boards from third party vendors the AMD X570 motherboards. The AMD Ryzen Zen 2 processors offer faster speeds which is what I am looking forward to. The AMD X570 motherboards will offer Peripheral Component Interchange Express (PCIe) 4.0 slots according to WCCFtech. This is a slot that usually accepts a graphics card and other discrete add-in cards. PCIe 4.0 is supposedly offering to eliminate additional power supply (PSU) connectors from graphics cards to the power supply. It sounds cool that it would be able to do this. Plus offer upgraded speed for discrete cards that accept that slot.
If you want to watch the AMD live at CES you can checkout their livestream at https://www.amd.com/en/events/ces at 9 AM PST/ 10 AM MST / 11 AM CST or 12PM EST. I know I will be watching. I want to know if I will be building another gaming computer/ work computer this year. It has been since 2009 since I built my last one. I went with AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 3.0Ghz processor. I heard about it through Tiger Direct TV on YouTube as being advertised as a "true quad core" processor with streams running to each core. It has been amazing. I highly recommend AMD processors for affordability, easy to compare and reliability.
