And the hits preserve coming. Seeking to cap off what’s already been a banner yr for AMD, the corporate introduced three new processors at the moment that can add to its swelling lineup of consumer-facing CPUs.
Sizzling off the wildly profitable introduction of the Ryzen 3000 Collection processors, AMD is bolstering the highest of its CPU lineup with the brand new Ryzen 9 3950X, a 16-core, 32-thread beast of a chip that’s being marketed to players and content material creators alike.
That includes a 72MB L2+L3 cache and a TDP of simply 105 watts, AMD says the Ryzen 9 3950X will supply as much as 2.34x efficiency per watt over Intel’s Core i9-9920X, whereas additionally posting efficiency outcomes as much as 26 % sooner than the i9-9920X in creator software program functions like Adobe Premiere. The 3950X will characteristic a base clock of three.5GHz and a max enhance clock of four.7GHz.
Subsequent, AMD pulled the sheet off its newest HEDT (high-end desktop) Threadripper processors, the 24-core, 48-thread three.8GHz base/four.5GHz enhance clock Threadripper 3960X and 32-core, 64-thread three.7GHz base/four.5GHz enhance clock Threadripper 3970X. Although it is troublesome to discover a 1:1 comparability for AMD’s Threadripper processors (Intel does not supply something that matches the identical insane core/thread depend of those CPUs), that did not cease AMD from displaying off how a lot sooner each than 3960X and 3970X are than Intel’s closest counterpart, the 18-core, 36-thread Core i9-9980XE.
Whereas each processors purport to supply positive aspects of over 20 % minimal in comparison with the i9-9980XE, the equally priced Threadripper 3970X claims to be practically 50 % sooner than the i9-9980XE in Adobe Premiere, and 36 % sooner in Unreal Engine.
Lastly, AMD introduced a brand new addition to its Athlon line of processors, the AMD Athlon 3000G. Not like the Ryzen 9 3950X and Threadripper three line that are primarily based on the brand new Zen 2 structure, the two-core, four-thread Athlon 3000G continues to be primarily based off the earlier Zen+ structure and can act as an improve for processors just like the Athlon 200GE.
That includes a three.5GHz clock operating at 35 watts and Radeon Vega three built-in graphics, the Athlon 3000G is a baseline processor made for price range PC builders, and at simply $49 can act as a mini-workhorse for dealing with fundamental duties, however not rather more than that.
The AMD Athlon 3000G will hit cabinets beginning Nov. 19 for $49, whereas the $749 Ryzen 9 3950X is slated to go on sale beginning on Nov. 25. No particulars on the discharge date of Threadripper three processors ($1,399 for the 3960X, $1,999 for the 3970X) have hit the wires but, however keep tuned to PCMag for benchmarks and opinions of all 4 processors as they make their manner into our labs over the following few months.
