AMD Ryzen Explained: 5000 vs 6000, 7000 vs 8000 & The 9000 Series

AMD have been quite busy releasing new CPUs in recent years, with FOUR new microarchitecture launches in the last four years alone. But what's the real difference between CPUs like the Ryzen 7000 and 8000 series? And should you buy the new 9000 series Zen5 line-up, or wait for the "enhanced" 10000 series?

I answer this questions and more in this video, including discussing the good and bad points to the "upgraded" 6000, 8000 and 10000 Ryzen series launches that introduced a range of new APUs to the market.
