The Ryzen 9 3950X is a 16-core/32-thread processor within the AM4 package deal, suitable with all socket AM4 motherboards, supplied they’ve the newest BIOS replace with AGESA Combo PI 1.0.0.4B microcode. The processor comes with clock-speeds of three.50 GHz base, with 4.70 GHz most enhance frequency, and the identical 105 W TDP because the 12-core Ryzen 9 3900X. With 512 KB of devoted L2 cache per core, and 64 MB of shared L3 cache, the chip has a mammoth 72 MB of “total cache.”
According to efficiency numbers put out by AMD, the Ryzen 9 3950X provides as much as 22 p.c increased single-threaded efficiency than the Ryzen 7 2700X as examined in Cinebench R20, and a whopping 79 p.c increased multi-threaded efficiency than the Core i9-9900Okay. The firm additionally claims gaming efficiency parity with the i9-9900Okay. The firm additionally claims large performance-per-Watt features over the i9-9900Okay. Available for buy from November 25, 2019, the Ryzen 9 3950X is priced at USD $749 (MSRP). The retail PIB field package deal lacks a cooling answer, and AMD recommends a minimum of a 240 mm x 140 mm AIO liquid CPU cooler to go together with this chip.AMD additionally sealed the underside finish of its socket AM4 processor lineup with the brand new Athlon 3000G, which provides a couple of segment-first options. The 3000G relies on the 12 nm “Picasso” silicon that mixes CPU cores based mostly on the “Zen+” microarchitecture with an iGPU based mostly on the “Vega” graphics structure. The 3000G is configured with a 2-core/4-thread CPU and the Radeon Vega Three onboard graphics that has 3 “Vega” NGCUs. The CPU is clocked at 3.50 GHz, which is a 300 MHz achieve over the Athlon 200GE. This time round, AMD has additionally supplied an unlocked base-clock multiplier for the CPU, letting you overclock it. The Radeon Vega Three iGPU is configured with 192 stream processors, and 1100 MHz engine clock, a 100 MHz achieve over that of the 200GE. Available for buy from November 19, 2019, the Athlon 3000G is priced at simply USD $49, and will make for an entertaining little toy for fans, in addition to a formidable chip for home-theater, NAS, or different low-power desktop builds.Moving on to essentially the most thrilling a part of the day’s bulletins, AMD unveiled its third technology Ryzen Threadripper high-end desktop (HEDT) processor collection, debuting with two fashions, the Threadripper 3960X and the Threadripper 3970X. The two are based mostly on the brand new sTRX4 CPU socket, and are being launched alongside the brand new AMD TRX40 chipset. The socket itself seems to be bodily much like the older TR4 socket, and provides cooler compatibility, that means that any CPU cooler or water-block that is suitable with TR4 shall be suitable with sTRX4 as nicely. Your solely consideration must be the cooler’s thermal load capability, as each the processors being introduced in the present day have a TDP ranking of 280 W. The third gen Ryzen processors themselves don’t have any backwards-compatibility with older AMD X399 chipset motherboards, nor would older Threadrippers work on TRX40 chipset motherboards.As for the processors themselves, the Ryzen Threadripper 3960X is a 24-core/48-thread beast priced at USD $1,399 (identical actual worth because the earlier technology 24-core Threadripper 2970WX). The 3960X provides frequencies of three.80 GHz base with up 4.50 GHz most enhance, and a gargantuan 140 MB complete cache (L2+L3). The Threadripper 3970X, then again, is a 32-core/64-thread monstrosity priced at…
