AMD’s Radeon Pro family has just gained another member, and this one’s a screamer. The Radeon Pro VII might sound familiar by name, possibly because of Radeon VII’s release last year, or the fact that cardĀ felt like a Radeon Pro VII. We even called it that in one of our launch articles…..

Many times over the course of Techgage’s life, we have extolled the virtues of keeping your data backed up. If you didn’t ever realize it because we told you, you’d definitely know it after losing important files because you were too careless to protect them. I have lost data that I’ve wanted…..

Since the launch of its Zen 2 architecture last summer, AMD’s done a good job of catering to a huge chunk of the desktop market. That even goes for the extreme high-end, as its 64-core Threadripper 3990X proves. If anything, it’s been the low-end that’s been vying for some attention, so it’s…..
