AMD’s Chiplet Design Is The New Ryzen Star

AMD Is Back In The Saddle Again

Not content to release only a 7nm GPU, 7/7 also saw the arrival of AMD’s 7nm Zen 2 CPUs with the Ryzen 7 3700X and Ryzen 9 3900X being the most reviewed as the Ryzen 9 3950X will not be available until September.   The reviews show that AMD has reclaimed a spot in the market that they held for a very long time, a little less performance at a significantly lower price.  You saw in Sebastian’s initial look that at $500, including the Wraith Prism LED Cooler the 3900X is a brilliant value; so much so stores can’t keep up with demand.

The Tech Report’s findings were similar, with the the two chips falling behind Intel’s gaming performance but not so much that they saw inconsistent, spiky frame-time plots when benchmarking games.  When it comes to productivity software and applications which are deft at handling multithreaded computation then these two new chips surpass the i9-9900K which sells for a similar price.

There are even more reviews for you to look at below.
