What is the meaning of that RDNA? Is it like rDNA, e.g., the 16S rRNA we used in the 2000s to determine the species?

Should I let AMD software have access to my location? I need your advice. My first instinct aft reading their useage is it's a bunch of garbage designed to have you give them your personal information??? Suggestions???? Is there any real benefit to the software?

Everything about X3D is optimized for gaming. If your needs don't line up with small and extremely low-latency I/O tasks, I doubt you're going to get anything really interesting out of the new parts. The best case is probably that they're the same speed as the xxxxX versions, but that hasn't been true in previous generations, either.

I finally had an excuse to buy and use a 5700X3D in a build, as a drop in upgrade for a 2700X. I've had the CPU for a while, just no reason to do anything with it.

The promise of AM4 is real. I think it's about 60% faster than the old CPU and it's working well on an x370 motherboard, keeping up with my 7600X for eSports games and the same GTX 1080 installed.

I realize a 7600X isn't exactly high end, but I spent $160 to effectively make a new PC vs the $200 just to move to AM5/DDR5 and before I get a CPU is a pretty solid bargain.

I guess they're $180 when they aren't on sale. Still a great deal. Goddamn.
