Tom’s Hardware Best of 2022 Awards

2022 was a year of ups and downs in the enthusiast tech space. On the one hand, manufacturers took some lumps as PC sales declined sharply, but still remained above pre-pandemic levels. On the other, it was a fantastic year in many ways for PC builders, gamers and makers of all budgets and skill levels.

After a couple of years in which crypto miners and scalpers were the only ones who could get their hands on a graphics card, the availability and affordability of GPUs rebounded sharply in mid-2022. And this past fall saw the launches of the fastest consumer GPU ever in the Nvidia RTX 4090 and Intel’s industry-leading Raptor Lake CPUs. Thanks to a glut of NAND flash memory, the price of SSDs fell, while performance continued to improve, though the market is still waiting on next-gen, PCIe 5.0 drives to go mainstream.
