Intel's Raptor Lake and AMD's Zen 4 are both on approach for a landing this fall. It's shaping up to be an epic battle between the CPU heavyweights, as Intel looks to add more efficiency cores and multi-threaded performance while AMD will launch an all-new platform, with socket AM5 being the first new socket in over five years. It's not just CPUs, as new GPUs are looking to get in on the excitement. Save up your pennies, as enthusiasts will have plenty of upgrades to consider in the coming months.
