BEST OF CES 2023: THE MOST INTRIGUING AND INNOVATIVE PC HARDWARE

We're finally getting back to normal. Most major PC players returned to the Las Vegas desert for CES 2023 after sticking to the safety of remote events last year and they brought some very enticing shiny new tech along with them.

Big names like AMD, Intel, and Nvidia all made splashy announcements, and PC manufacturers revealed a barrage of large and in-charge laptops (fave.co/3kpfHUh) that are taking advantage of the unprecedented power. Computer monitors witnessed revolution like never before (fave.co/3D674Vf). Heck, we even saw a PC case that breathes.

Yep, CES is back.

No time to sift through all our CES coverage? No problem! Read on for our Best of CES 2023 picks-the most intriguing and innovative products that impressed PCWorld's staff at the show.

AMD RYZEN 9 7950X3D

The hotly anticipated Ryzen 9 7950X3D (fave.co/3weWvLE) packs 16 cores and a surprising, potentially very smart design: The special sauce V-Cache is only on one of the chip's two 8-core chiplets. That lets games that like the 7950X3D's performance-boosting 128MB of L3 cache run on one die, while games that aren't fond of cache can run on the standard chiplet at higher 5.7GHz frequencies.

This design, AMD says, essentially gives consumers a "best of both worlds" CPU that no longer forces gamers to pick between the higher clocks of a non-X3D part or the fat V-Cache of an X3D part. Simply put, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D looks to be the performance CPU to beat in 2023. -Gordon Mah Ung
