The discrete graphics card launches in 2021 also failed to dazzle thanks to a mixture of sky-high prices (even at MSRP) and rock-bottom availability-so much so that Brad nominated AMD’s latest APU this time around. (Resident GPU expert Brad still hasn’t forgiven Alaina for that outcome.)

When given the tie-breaking vote back then, The Full Nerd fans chose the Ryzen 3 2200G over the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. The last time this happened, the RTX 20-series had failed to impress enthusiasts.
Yes, you’ve read that correctly- integrated graphics win the top spot for best GPU. In the end, though, the majority pulled together to hand a win to Intel’s latest achievement. The doubts we had earlier about Alder Lake’s hybrid design and its mix of performance and efficiency cores have completely vanished.īut Alder Lake doesn’t completely dominate in one key area-gaming-which opened up the floor for much debate. Our winning CPU, the mid-tier Core i5-12600K, posts head-turning gains in multicore performance over the 5600X-as much as 36 percent. (Farewell, Rocket Lake, we barely knew you.)Īlder Lake also lands a solid blow to AMD’s Ryzen 5000 CPUs. The difference is so stark that prices on Rocket Lake chips have already plummeted. Built on the Intel 7 process (formerly known as 10nm), these 12th-generation processors absolutely smoke 11th-gen “Rocket Lake” chips-which came out just a little over six months ago. $299.99 at Adorama | $299.99 at B & H Photo | $299.99 at Best BuyĪt long last, Intel finally left 14nm transistors behind with its November launch of Alder Lake, and what a leap in performance that made. For the full conversation, including the nominees selected for each category, check out the video embedded below. Keep reading for a summary of the results, along with our key arguments. The eight winners our team picked for 2021 all rocked our socks for one reason or another, however. Performance? Value? Raw availability? Everyone could only agree on one point: The lack of hardware availability is a big bummer. In this episode, Gordon Ung, Brad Chacos, Alaina Yee, Keith May, and Adam Patrick Murray split down decisive lines on what moved the needle for the PC.

As a result, selecting nominees for the annual The Full Nerd awards was rough going-though there were still plenty of PC hardware contenders vying to win our enthusiast hearts over. But that momentum sadly did not carry into 2021, as chip shortages and supply chain issues made it hard to obtain the latest and greatest, much less at list prices. Despite the chaos of the pandemic, 2020 worked out to be an excellent year for new PC hardware.
