Intel processors have always been the de facto CPUs for gaming desktops. But recently, AMD has been making real inroads with their new Ryzen processors. In fact, they just announced that HP and Acer have started shipping AMD Ryzen gaming desktops!
In this article, both HP and Acer will share with you the key features of their Ryzen gaming desktops – the HP OMEN and Acer Aspire GX-281. Don’t forget to catch Peter Chambers’ presentation on the AMD Ryzen family for the second half of 2017 and going forward!
The AMD Ryzen Update For 2H 2017
AMD Director of Consumer Sales for Asia Pacific and Japan, Peter Chambers, kicked off the event with an update on the AMD Ryzen family of processors, including Ryzen Threadripper and Ryzen Mobile.
OMEN by HP, Now Powered By AMD Ryzen 7
We shared details and videos of the new HP OMEN gaming desktops and laptops with you just two weeks ago. However, they were all powered by Intel Core processors.
Now, HP is introducing a new HP OMEN gaming desktop powered by the AMD Ryzen 7 processor. That’s not all – this Ryzen-powered HP OMEN gaming desktop will feature dual AMD Radeon RX 580 GPUs in CrossFire!
The Acer Aspire GX-281, Powered By AMD Ryzen 7
The Acer Aspire GX-281 is a gaming desktop that is exclusively powered by the AMD Ryzen processor. In some countries, it may use the AMD Ryzen 5, but here in Malaysia, it will be offered only with the AMD Ryzen 7 processor.
The Aspire GX-281 will ship with the AMD Radeon RX 480 initially, but Acer will offer the Radeon RX 580 eventually.
