![]() This modular system let Zen 2 scale from as few as 4 cores in the Ryup to the 64 core 3990X without fundamentally changing the architecture.īut the design was not without compromises. In Zen 2, these “CCDs” or “core complex dies” were further subdivided into “core complexes” - CCXs that linked 4 processor cores together. Zen 2 CPUs used an “i/o die” chip that handled data transfer with one or two “CCD” chiplets that contained up to 8 processor cores. With Zen 2, AMD introduced the idea of “chiplets”: small discrete processor dies that were linked together to form the final chip. In this episode of Upscaled, we look at what’s changed in Zen 3, and how much does CPU power really matter for tasks like animation and video editing? These chips are the 3rd or 4th iteration of their modern desktop processors (or 5th, depending on who’s counting), and they deliver impressive levels of performance. We’ll have to wait until we’re able to review the Ryzen 9 5950X processor before getting a good idea of its performance power.AMD’s high-performance streak continues with Zen 3. Of course, the likes of core counts and frequencies don’t paint the whole picture, with the performance efficiency of the architecture making a huge difference. The Intel chip also has a higher TDP (125W) than the new AMD chip (105W) making the latter seemingly more energy efficient. For comparison, Intel’s current fastest desktop processor (the Intel Core i9-10900K) sees 10 cores, 20 threads and up to a 5.30GHz boosted frequency. Content creation has also seen substantial improvements, with 13% performance superiority for video editing (via Adobe Premiere Pro) compared to the Intel i9-10900K.īut what about the specs? The new Ryzen chip features 16 cores, 32 threads and up to a 4.9GHz boosted frequency. The Ryzen 9 5950X also supposedly sees up to 29% gaming performance gains on its Ryzen 3000 counterpart. In a Cinebench R20 single-threaded benchmark, the Ryzen chip achieved a better score than the Intel Core i9-10900K. That’s a bold claim, but AMD has the benchmark figures and specs to back it up.
