In recent years AMD has fallen behind rivals Intel when it comes to delivering state of the art high performance processors geared towards gamers, but perhaps that is about to change as they announced their new Ryzen processors during a recent press event in San Francisco.

Intriguingly it seems that AMD will offer more performance for your buck as the Ryzen 7 is an eight core 1800X-processor that performs on the level of an Intel Core i7-6900K costing just half as much. Of course, these are AMD's claims and we have to wait to get some real world benchmarks done to see if these claims really hold up. The AMD Ryzen series will launch on March 2nd.

Is your rig in need of an updated CPU?
