AM4 8 Cores, 8 Years Later | Ryzen Retrospective

Testing every generation of AM4 8-core CPU in demanding games of the last few years. AMD is currently riding higher than ever in both reviews and customer opinion, and a large part of that success is thanks to their venerable AM4 socket. Since 2017 the motherboards based on AM4 have supported each new CPU series with little more than a BIOS update, making for a platform that has truly stood the test of time. In this video I've compared six models of Ryzen AM4-based CPU, each with 8 cores and 16 threads, in a set of games from the last few years. Sponsored by AliExpress.
