New cable position in power supplies
Corsair has developed a new range of power supplies where the power connectors are on the side instead of the back. The idea is to make it easier to put in and remove cables, although this change could imply incompatibilities with some cases due to lack of space.
Ryzen 7 5700X
Someone has brought us a Ryzen 7 5700X that has been tested on an ASUS PRIME X570-PRO. It comes with 8 Zen 3 cores and gets half a million points, which puts it in position 33 in the overall ranking. In the absence of other modes, its performance is very similar to the Ryzen 7 3800XT.
