Speaking of Intel, AMD did reveal some gaming figures during its keynote. As for Intel, those parts are similarly priced but Intel has other issues on its hands, namely the lack of any stock for its high-end models, which has caused the cost for available units to skyrocket. This also means that AMD is once again competing with itself, as previous generation parts are now much cheaper and may seem more attractive to some buyers, especially those on older motherboards. It seems AMD has decided to do away with the non-X SKUs for now while also increasing the price over the previous X SKUs, which may not be welcomed by everyone despite the boost to the performance. AMD said that it doesn't have any plans to launch any more SKUs at this point, which doesn't mean that it wouldn't launch successors to the Ryand the 3300X at some point but we may not see a Ryor a Ryzen 7 5700X like we did previously. This is on top of that fact that there are no non-X SKUs this year. You may have also noticed that prices have gone up across the board by $50. This also affects the higher core parts like the 5900X and 5950X to a lesser extent. The Zen 3 processors have chiplets that can have either 6 or 8 cores each with 32MB of 元 cache, which means chips like the 5800X and 5600X can only have a single CCX with all of its cache on it, thereby significantly reducing the internal latency and reducing having to resort to writing to the system memory, which is much slower. AMD has been using chiplets instead of a monolithic design that Intel uses, which allows it to pack in more cores but at the cost of increased latency due to communication delay between the CCX modules. You may have noticed the change to the chiplet design. These new Ryzen chips have the same TDP and similar board power draw as previous generation chips, meaning you are getting more work done for the same amount of energy consumed. The 19% figure comes from averaging a bunch of gaming and workstation tasks, so it's not 19% across every task you do.ĭue to an improvement in efficiency, AMD was able to increase the performance without increasing the power consumption. The company is touting a 19% improvement to IPC or instructions per clock, which is often used as a measure for a processor's efficiency. It will compete with the 6-core Intel Core i5-10600K.ĪMD hasn't yet detailed all of the changes in the new Zen 3 architecture other than stating that it is a completely new architecture built from the ground up and not an evolution like the previous two architectures. The Ryzen 5 5600X is priced at $299 and will replace the $249 3600X. The 5600X is the only one out of this bunch that will come with a stock cooler in the box. It also has 32MB of 元 cache on its single chiplet but with a reduced TDP of 65W. It has a base clock of 3.7GHz and a boost clock of 4.6GHz. It will compete with the 8-core Intel Core i7-10700K.įinally, there's the Ryzen 5 5600X, which has 6 cores and 12 threads. The 5800X is priced at $449 and replaces the $399 3800X.

It is a single chiplet design, with all eight cores and the full 32MB cache on the single CCX. The 5800X can do 3.8GHz as base clock and 4.7GHz as boost clock. It will compete with the 10-core Intel Core i9-10900K.Ĭoming down the price ladder, we have the Ryzen 7 5800X, which has 8 cores and 16 threads. The 5900X is priced at $549 and replaces the $499 3900X. The 5900X also has 64MB of 元 cache spread across two chiplets and a TDP of 105W.

AMD claims this makes it the best gaming CPU on the market. The 5900X is capable of 3.7GHz base clock and 4.8GHz boost clock. Next is the Ryzen 9 5900X, which has 12 cores and 24 threads. It will compete with the 18-core Intel Core i9-10980XE. The 5950X is priced at $799 and replaces the previous 3950X, which was priced at $749. The CPU also has a massive 64MB of 元 cache spread across its two chiplets. AMD claims the 5950X has the highest single and multi-threaded performance of any mainstream desktop CPU. This new chip is capable of 3.4GHz base clock and 4.9GHz boost clock. Starting at the top, we have the new Ryzen 9 5950X, which has 16 cores and 32 threads. Four new models were announced today, which start at $299 and go all the way up to $799.
