E3 2019: AMD’s 16-Core Ryzen 9 3950X Rumoured to Launch Alongside New Navi GPUsedit

The AMD vs Intel battle has been waged for long, but now, it is literally being taken up to the next level. Prior to Computex 2019, AMD was expected to reveal its 3rd generation CPUs with a 16-core flagship sitting high and mighty at the top. That, though, did not happen, and AMD’s range-topping 3rd gen offering became the 12-core, 24-thread Ryzen 9 3900X.

AMD Ryzen 3 3200G and Ryzen 5 3400G Detailed: New Slide Leakedit

At the bottom end of AMD’s rather tall new Ryzen 3000 desktop processor product-stack are the Ryzen 3 3200G and Ryzen 5 3400G APUs. Unlike the rest of the Ryzen 3000 series, these two are based on the monolithic 12 nm “Picasso” silicon, which is essentially “Raven Ridge” redesigned for 12 nm with the “Zen+” microarchitectrure. For the quad-core CPU, this means an improved Precision Boost algorithm that scales better across multiple cores, and faster on-die caches. For the iGPU based on the “Vega” architecture, this is a minor speed-bump.

AMD Readies Ryzen 9 3950X 16-core Processor to Awestrike Crowds at E3edit

When AMD launched its Ryzen 9 3900X 12-core/24-thread processor at its Computex 2019 keynote, our readers commented on the notable absence of a 16-core SKU, given that a “Matisse” multi-chip module with two 8-core “Zen 2” chiplets adds up to that core-count. Some readers noted this could be a case of AMD holding back its top performing part in the absence of competition in the segment from Intel. It turns out, the company was saving this part up for an E3 2019 unveiling.

AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT Beats GeForce RTX 2070 in a Spectrum of Gamesedit

The 9.75 TFLOPs figure in the leaked specifications slide of the Radeon RX 5700 XT “Navi” graphics card from earlier today got many guessing if AMD is essentially putting RX Vega-level performance into a GPU that sips a fraction of its power. It turns out that AMD’s claim of the RX 5700 XT being faster than the GeForce RTX 2070 wasn’t just specific to the odd super-optimized game title, but a whole selection of games, many of which some with GameWorks varnish, some of which even support NVIDIA RTX.

Intel to AMD: “We Challenge you to Meet us in Real World Gaming”edit

AMD’s Next Horizon Gaming Event is less than ten hours away now, and E3 is going on in full swing. We expect AMD to release its 7nm Radeon RX 5000 graphics cards as well as the 16-core Ryzen 9 3950X CPU during its E3 show. The former leverages the brand new RDNA architecture designed from the ground up for gamers, while the latter uses the Zen 2 cores, and has sent shockwaves across Intel’s dated 14nm Coffee Lake lineup. So much so that for the first time, they are seeing AMD’s CPUs as equals and are challenging team red to “meet them in real-world gaming”.

This unnamed SoC reportedly features an 8-core/16-thread CPU based on AMD’s latest “Zen 2” microarchitecture, which is a massive leap from the 8 low-power “Jaguar” cores pulling the PS4 Pro. The GPU will implement AMD’s new RDNA architecture. The SoC will use GDDR6 memory, shared between the CPU and GPU. Much like “Project Scarlett,” the PS5 will include an NVMe SSD as standard equipment, and the operating system will use a portion of it as virtual memory. There will also be dedicated hardware for 3D positional audio. Sony also confirmed full backwards compatibility with PS4 titles.

10th Gen Intel Core i7-10510U “Comet Lake-U” Specs and Benchmarks Surfaceedit

Intel’s 10th Gen Comet Lake-U chip has been once again spotted on SiSoft. This time it’s the higher-end i7, with four cores and eight threads running at 4.8-4.9GHz. It is a mobile, U part and we are looking at a TDP of 15W (although the listing mentions the TDP as 55W). The L3 cache is pegged at 8MB and the L2 is 512KB per core. The performance seems quite decent, and the fact that the boost clock is 4.5+GHz just shows how mature Intel’s 14nm++ node has become over the years.
