The veil has been lifted on the highly anticipated news, as the corporation officially confirmed that its latest central processing units (CPUs) will become available for purchase starting from July 1st, 2024? The newly unveiled CPU lineup consists of four processors, ranging from the 16-core Ryzen 9 9950X to the six-core Ryzen 5 9600X, built upon AMD’s innovative Zen 5 architecture.
As the latest AMD Zen 5 CPUs prepare to launch, we’re expecting several top-performing models to hit the market in the coming weeks. To stay ahead of the curve, keep an eye out for our comprehensive gaming CPU guides, where we’ll provide detailed benchmarks and expert analysis on these new processors. AMD has unveiled not only a new range of processors but also an 800-series motherboard chipset lineup, featuring the X870 and X870E models, which boast standard support for PCIe 5.0 graphics and M.2 storage, alongside mandatory USB 4 capabilities.
On a historic day, four cutting-edge CPUs are making their debut.
The lineup includes the powerful 16-core Ryzen 9 9950X, the 12-core Ryzen 9900X, the eight-core Ryzen 7 9600X, and the six-core Ryzen 5 9600X.
According to AMD’s specifications, the newly launched 12-core Ryzen 9 9900X surpasses Intel’s current flagship, the Core i9-14900K, in both gaming and software benchmark results. According to AMD, switching from the 14900K to the 9900X yields a 23% boost in efficiency when running F1 2023, with a smaller but still notable 11% increase seen in Cyberpunk 2077.
According to AMD, its latest eight-core Ryzen 7 9700X processor is poised to surpass the performance of its predecessor, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, in gaming applications, despite lacking the 3D V-Cache technology found in the latter. While a 65W TDP is indeed impressive, especially compared to the 105W of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, it’s striking that the Ryzen 7 7700X doesn’t receive any direct comparison or mention alongside its predecessor. It seems that AMD’s Ryzen 9000 X3D processors will likely be available before we can expect an even faster CPU for gaming purposes, namely the 7800X3D.
