Here’s another sign that AMD is winning the CPU war.

Asus is introducing an AMD version of its Apex motherboards at CES this week, which had previously been exclusive to Intel since 2017. The ROG Crosshair X870E Apex and Ryzen 9 9950X are already setting overclocking records, and that’s before the 9950X3D launches soon. Meanwhile, Intel is busy rolling out performance fixes for its latest Arrow Lake CPUs to try and improve gaming performance.
