Amd’s Ryzen 9 9950x3d Is ‘the World’s Best Processor For Gamers And Creators’

AMD is unveiling its latest flagship desktop CPU, nan Ryzen 9 9950X3D, coming astatine CES. After nan 9800X3D wowed america pinch its gaming performance, we’ve been waiting to spot what AMD’s 2nd procreation of 3D V-Cache exertion could do pinch overmuch cores and higher boost frequencies. AMD is now claiming nan 9950X3D will beryllium “the world’s champion processor for gamers and creators.”

The 9950X3D includes 16 Zen 5 CPU cores (32 threads), a max boost activity of 5.7GHz, and 144MB of afloat cache. It has a higher TDP complete nan 9800X3D astatine 170 watts alternatively of 120 watts, but this different powerfulness appears to construe to ample improvements successful creator benchmarks and gaming.

AMD says nan 9950X3D should beryllium astir 8 percent faster connected mean than nan erstwhile 7950X3D, based connected benchmarks tally connected 40 games astatine 1080p. The gaming capacity should beryllium akin to nan 9800X3D, pinch AMD claiming it’s incorrect 1 percent. AMD moreover claims nan 9950X3D is 20 percent faster than Intel’s Core Ultra 9 285K successful those aforesaid games, but Intel is astir to coming a capacity update for nan 285K that could adjacent that gap.

In contented creation tasks, nan 9950X3D should beryllium astir 6 percent faster than nan 7950X3D successful Premiere Pro tasks and astir 13 percent faster successful Photoshop. On average, AMD says nan 9950X3D will beryllium 13 percent faster for creator tasks than nan 7950X3D, based connected 20 apps tested. The ample state from AMD is that nan 9950X3D will beryllium 10 percent faster than Intel’s Core Ultra 9 285K, point that could make nan 9950X3D an easy premier for anyone wanting awesome desktop and gaming capacity successful a azygous CPU.

AMD is too launching a Ryzen 9 9900X3D processor pinch 12 cores (24 threads), a 5.5GHz max boost, 140MB of cache, and a 120-watt TDP. Much for illustration nan 9800X3D, immoderate of these caller X3D chips usage nan 2nd procreation of AMD’s 3D V-Cache exertion that sees nan cache now beryllium beneath nan processor cores. This alteration allows nan processor cores to personification amended entree to cooling, and nan cache is now small delicate to precocious temperatures, allowing nan CPU to boost to higher frequencies and coming amended capacity successful immoderate gaming and creator tasks.

AMD says immoderate nan 9950X3D and 9900X3D will beryllium disposable astatine immoderate constituent successful March, but it’s not detailing pricing conscionable yet.

AMD is too announcing caller “Fire Range” mobile CPUs today, which are nan latest X3D-series laptop parts. You tin publication overmuch astir nan flagship 9955HX3D laptop spot and different mobile-focused AMD announcements correct here.
