Ryzen 7000X3D
Through a YouTube video, AMD has formalized the availability and prices of the new AMD Ryzen 7000X3D, announced at the beginning of 2023 during the CES in Las Vegas. The Ryzen 9 7950X3D and the Ryzen 9 7900X3D will arrive on February 28 at a price of $699 and $599 respectively, while the younger brother Ryzen 7 7800X3D will debut on the market on April 6 at $449.
As with the past generation, the greatest benefits of 3D V-Cache will be seen in gaming, where according to AMD the new CPUs will be up to 24% faster than the current top of the range Intel Core i9-13900K. Compared to the past, the Sunnyvale house has also maintained high boost frequencies, which also reach 5.7GHz, and a wider offer, which now includes 8, 12 or 16 core options.
Core price / Thread Base Clock / Boost (GHz) Cache (L2/L3) TDP / PBP / MTP Ryzen 9 7950X3D $699 16 / 32 4.2 / 5.7 144MB (16+128) 120W / 162W Ryzen 9 7900X3D $599 12 / 24 4.4 / 5.6 140MB (12+132) 120W / 162W Ryzen 7 7800X3D $449 8 /16 4.2 / 5.0 104MB (8+96) 120W / 162W Ryzen 7 5800X3D $358 8 /16 3.4 / 4.5 104MB (8+96) 105W We remind you that during the presentation of CES 2023 AMD had shared some benchmarks of the new processors, stating that the Ryzen 9 7950X3D was 13% to 24% faster than the Core i9-13900K, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D was 21% to 30% faster than the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. The data shared by AMD also shows that the Ryzen 9 7950X3D is even better than the Core i9-13900K by 52% in some productivity tests, but we know that in these benchmarks 3D V-Cache has little impact and the differences are more related to the other CPU characteristics.
We remind you that Intel has recently launched the Core i9-13900KS, a processor capable of reaching 6GHz in boost and which further improves gaming performance, but does not yet offer a technology such as 3D V-Cache or something able to guarantee the same performance increases. We don't know the price of the new Ryzen 7000X3D for our country, but the dollar figure is not exaggerated and bodes well for our market too; all that remains is to wait to have the processors in your hands to evaluate their performance and understand how much Intel will have to work to regain the title of "best gaming CPU", which will almost certainly be stolen from the Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
