It was inevitable, but it's still a little sad to see that some new leaks of the AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D price show it being even more expensive than the already quite pricey 9800X3D. Thankfully, the difference isn't huge, but if you were hoping the 9850X3D would slot in at the same price as the 9800X3D, and that the latter would see a drop as a result, you're seemingly out of luck. As AMD's current chart-topper, the 9800X3D is plain and simply the best gaming CPU on the market, thanks to its combination of the company's speedy Zen 5 CPU architecture, the use of eight cores, and, of course, its extra 3D V-Cache chip that's hugely beneficial for gaming performance. The 9850X3D is set to offer the same core features but come with a slight boost in clock speed, which should translate to small gains in gaming performance, too, but according to these new price leaks, you'll be paying over $70 more to get that cutting-edge speed.Read the full story on PCGamesN: The price of AMD's next flagship gaming CPU just leaked, and it's not pretty

Dune Awakening is a game with so much promise. Set in Frank Herbert's iconic sci-fi world, its sprawling reimagining of the sweltering world of Arrakis, coupled with its colossal sandworms and ornithopters, set the stage for the perfect survival MMO. But it's hardly been smooth sailing for Funcom, with endgame content consistently coming under fire, as well as its PvP experience, which has, as is often the case, fallen victim to waves of cheaters. Coming into Chapter 3, however, the game is getting its "biggest update yet," which overhauls the Landsraad system and deepens several endgame systems.Read the full story on PCGamesN: Huge new Dune Awakening update basically reworks the entire endgame, rebuilding Landsraad and overhauling missions
