The AchieVer Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 AMD announces new 7nm Ryzen 3000 CPUs with plenty of processing power What you need to know At Computex 2019, AMD announced its new Ryzen 3000 series CPUs. AMD creates the new Ryzen 9 family of CPUs. The new Ryzen 3000 series is based on AMD's Zen 2 architecture. The new CPUs will be available in July, starting from $199. AMD used its Computex keynote to celebrate the company's 50th anniversary by announcing new 7nm processors. The Ryzen 3000 series of CPUs, based on the new Zen 2 architecture, will be compatible with old AM4 motherboards, as well as the newly announced X570 chipset, which itself unlocks PCIe 4.0. You can expect to see core counters to hit 12 and base speeds to max out at 4.6GHz from the factory. Zen 2 is an important next step for AMD, improving single and multi-core processing performance, as well as reduced power draw. Comparing the performance numbers of the new Ryzen 3000 series against the previous generation Ryzen CPUs shows some serious gains in gaming and general computing. What to take away from the new architecture: Double floating point with a redesigned engine. Double the amount of cache. 15 percent IPC (instructions per-clock) uplift. This is what allows the processors to provide much more performance with the refreshed line-up. Acer and ASUS were on-stage to showcase some 3rd-gen Ryzen powered desktop and laptop PCs, with Acer going so far as to include Ryzen and Radeon in the same laptop. AMD showed off a system running an X570 motherboard, Ryzen 7 3800X and RX 5700 against another with an Intel Core i9-9900K and RTX 2080 Ti and it was clear to see the difference. It'll be interesting to carry out our own tests between the two companies, but things are getting exciting for system builders. What's particularly interesting is the formation of the Ryzen 9 family to compete against Intel's own Core i9 series. It's the perfect option for those who need more performance than what's offered with the Ryzen 7 series, but don't wish to splash out on Threadripper, nor invest in a new motherboard. Ryzen 5 3600 Ryzen 5 3600X Ryzen 7 3700X Ryzen 7 3800X Ryzen 9 3900X Architecture Zen 2 Zen 2 Zen 2 Zen 2 Zen 2 Cores 6 12 6 12 8 16 8 16 12 24 Clock speed 3.6GHz 4.2GHz 3.8GHz 4.4GHz 3.6GHz 4.4GHz 3.9GHz 4.5GHz 4.6GHz 4.8GHz Cache 35MB 35MB 36MB 36MB 70MB TDP 65W 95W 65W 105W 105W Price $199 $249 $329 $399 $499 The pricing for the new Ryzen 3000 series CPUs is incredibly aggressive, with AMD wanting to get as many gamers, creators and general consumers going to the red team's camp as possible. All the new CPUs will be available on July 7. The first 7nm desktop CPU available on 7/7, cute. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The AchieVer Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share Posted May 27, 2019 AMD 3rd-gen Ryzen series coming in July led by 12-core Ryzen 9 beast Range of chips beginning at $330 and topping out at $500 for the 12-core Ryzen 9. (Image: AMD) AMD announced the lineup for its third-generation Ryzen processors at Computex on Monday, with the chips to be built on 7 nanometre technology. Topping the range is the Ryzen 9 3900X, which is set to cost $500, packs 12 cores, can handle 24 threads, has 2.8GHz base frequency with 4.6GHz boost, and has 70MB of cache. "That's half the price of our competition with much, much more performance," AMD CEO Dr Lisa Su said. Behind the Ryzen 9 is the Ryzen 7 3800X and Ryzen 7 3700X. Both chips have 8 cores and 36MB of cache, but the 3800X has a higher 3.9GHz base frequency and 4.5GHz boost frequency compared to 3.6GHz and 4.4GHz of the 3800X. Where the $400 3800X needs 105W, the same energy requirements as the Ryzen 9, the 3700X is a 65W chip and costs $330. Su said the Ryzen 3 series was capable of 15% more instructions per clock cycle, and had double the cache and floating point performance of the Ryzen 2 platform. For Ryzen 5, the 3600X and 3600 are 6 core chips with 35MB of cache offering 3.8GHz with 4.4GHz boost, and 3.6GHz base frequency and 4.2GHz boost respectively, and available for $250 and $200. All processors are set to be available from 7 July. The company also introduced its X570 chipset for socket AM4 that is capable of PCIe 4.0, that AMD said was capable of 42% faster storage performance Also during the keynote, AMD demonstrated its upcoming 64-core Rome Epyc chip, which it is touting as having double the performance of the prior Epyc generation. Rome will be available next quarter. The company said Microsoft would start offering Epyc chips as a high performance computing offering with HB-series virtual machines that could scale up to 10,000 cores. "With the AMD Epyc processors, the HB-series delivers more than 260 GBs of memory bandwidth, 128 MB L3 cache, and SR-IOV-based 100 Gbs InfiniBand," Microsoft said in a blog post. "At scale, a customer can utilise up to 18,000 physical CPU cores and more than 67 terabytes of memory for a single distributed memory computational workload." The virtual machines are available in Azure's South Central US and Western Europe regions. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matrix Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 AMD announces Ryzen 9 3900X flagship desktop CPU, Ryzen 7 3800X, more Why it matters: AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su's Computex inaugural keynote was packed with the hardware we wanted to hear about so eagerly. 3rd-gen Ryzen desktop processors are now official, based on new Zen 2 cores, the series includes a new Ryzen 9 flagship with 12 cores and 24 threads for $499, while the mainstream king Ryzen 5 3600 is a 6 core/12 thread 65W CPU starting at $199. AMD's X570 chipset also claims a first in supporting PCIe 4.0. AMD is claiming their new Zen 2 cores deliver 15% more IPC than previous generation chips, in addition to new features and design improvements that include larger cache sizes and a redesigned floating point engine. Shipping on July 7, the full Ryzen 3000 family of processors consist of the chips outlined on the table below. Model Cores/ Threads TDP (Watts) Boost/Base (GHz) Total Cache (MB) PCIe 4.0 Lanes* MSRP Ryzen 9 3900X 12/24 105W 4.6/3.8 70 40 $499 Ryzen 7 3800X 8/16 105W 4.5/3.9 36 40 $399 Ryzen 7 3700X 8/16 65W 4.4/3.6 36 40 $329 Ryzen 5 3600X 6/12 95W 4.4/3.8 35 40 $249 Ryzen 5 3600 6/12 65W 4.2/3.6 35 40 $199 * PCIe lanes is the sum of the CPU's 24 PCIe 4.0 lanes (16 for the GPU, 4 for storage, 4 for the chipset), plus the X570 chipset's 16 lanes. As expected, the new lineup introduces a new Ryzen 9 desktop processor with the flagship 12 core/24 thread Ryzen 9 3900X which is selling at a premium above the rest of the pack but features more cores and cache for a price well below Threadripper's levels. AMD was also keen to share some preliminar performance benchmarks, meant to highlight how their new processors compare to current Intel competitors: Ryzen 7 3700X vs. i7-9700K with real-time rendering: The Ryzen 7 3700X offered 1% more single-threaded performance, and 30% more in multi-threaded tests. Ryzen 7 3800X vs. i9-9900K with PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds gameplay: The Ryzen 7 3800X matched the performance of the i9-9900K. Ryzen 9 3900X vs. i9-9920X with Blender Render: The Ryzen 9 3900X beat the Intel i9 9920X by more than 16%. Ryzen was already superior to Intel in terms of multi-threaded performance and most of the time value. Single-threaded performance is now stronger, which was one of the areas where Intel was still holding the lead, albeit usually at a higher price. Additionally, the new Ryzen processors are supported by AMD's X570, the world’s first PCIe 4.0 chipset. AMD says their manufacturing partners like Asrock, MSI and Gigabyte have readied over 50 new motherboard models as well as PCIe 4.0 storage solutions. Zen 2 also comprises new EPYC CPUs aimed at the datacenter. AMD showed off a 2nd-gen EPYC server running two processors handily beating (it was twice as fast than) two Intel Xeon 8280 on the NAMD benchmark. The company was also celebrating they landed the contract to power the Frontier supercomputing system, which will be more than 5 times faster than the current world's fastest computer targeting over 1.5 exaflops of computing performance. Frontier will be built using EPYC CPUs and Radeon Instinct GPUs. VIEW: Original Article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
