AM4 Persists: Ryzen 7 5800X3D Delivers Tiny Gaming Gains Across Old and New AMD Boards

Linus Tech Tips found that the re-released Ryzen 7 5800X3D delivers virtually no gaming FPS advantage when paired with an older X370 motherboard versus a newer X570, across games like Cyberpunk 2077, CS2, and Cities: Skylines II; memory clocking on the older boards was hard, reducing any gain, which means AM4 can remain relevant during the DRAM crisis, and for current AM4 owners the 5800X3D at around $339.95 can be a cost-effective upgrade rather than a full platform swap.

Steam Machine's Tiny Mainboard Pushes Pico ITX to the Limit

Valve’s teardown reveals the Steam Machine uses a nearly Pico ITX–sized motherboard (about 100×72mm), smaller than standard Mini ITX. It packs an AMD CPU/GPU, four 2GB VRAM modules around the GPU, and a single 16GB DDR5 SO-DIMM (a second RAM slot is unused). The board sits on four corner posts, and a full cooling assembly is visible in Valve’s teardown photos for Digital Foundry, highlighting an impressive feat of hardware miniaturisation.

ASUS ROG's $700 Evangelion Motherboard Ruined by a Costly Typo

Asus has released a limited edition $700 ROG Maximus Z790 Hero EVA-02 motherboard in collaboration with the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion, but it has a typo on the screen that reads "Evangenlion" instead of "Evangelion." While the mistake is embarrassing, some users find it endearing, likening it to a mistake the anime's main character, Shinji Ikari, would make. Despite the typo, the motherboard boasts impressive specs and is currently sold out on the Asus website.
