So, as AMD’s new 16-core Zen 2 flagship has now been officially launched, we now know for a fact that the Ryzen 3000 lineup won’t be limited to the 12-core 3900X. According to AMD’s first-party benchmarks, the Ryzen 9 3950X is faster than Intel’s i9-9960X, but as per a new Geekbench score, the 7nm AMD flagship might be even more powerful in certain scenarios.

In a bid to bolster competitiveness of the $379 Radeon RX 5700 (non-XT) against its rival from the NVIDIA camp, the GeForce RTX 2060, AMD is leaving the memory configuration completely unchanged from the faster $449 Radeon RX 5700 XT. The RX 5700 will get 8 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 256-bit wide memory bus, with the same 14 Gbps memory speed as the RX 5700 XT. This works out to a memory bandwidth of 448 GB/s. In comparison, the $349 (launch price) RTX 2060 only has 6 GB of memory, across a 192-bit wide memory bus. With a memory speed of 14 Gbps, this setup achieves 336 GB/s.

AMD in its technical brief revealed that its Zen 2 microarchitecture has hardware mitigation against the Spectre V4 speculative store bypass vulnerability. The current generation “Zen” and “Zen+” microarchitectures have OS-level mitigation. A hardware mitigation typically has less of a performance overhead than a software mitigation deployed at the OS or firmware level. In addition, just like older generations of “Zen,” the new “Zen 2” microarchitecture is inherently immune to Meltdown, Foreshadow, Spectre V3a, Lazy FPU, Spoiler, and the recently discovered MDS vulnerability.

Two of the often overlooked components of a new graphics architecture are the I/O and multimedia capabilities. With its Radeon RX 5700-series “Navi 10” graphics processor, AMD gave the two their first major update in over two years, with the new Radeon Display Engine, and Radeon Multimedia Engine. The Display Engine is a hardware component that handles the graphics card’s physical display I/O. The Radeon Multimedia Engine is a set of fixed-function hardware that provides CODEC-specific acceleration to offload your CPU.

AMD X570 is the company’s first in-house design desktop motherboard chipset for the AM4 platform. The company sourced earlier generations of chipset from ASMedia. A chipset in context of the AM4 platform only serves to expand I/O connectivity, since an AM4 processor is a full-fledged SoC, with an integrated southbridge that puts out SATA and USB ports directly from the CPU socket, in addition to LPCIO (ISA), HD audio bus, and SPI to interface with the firmware ROM chip.

Other than the 16-core Ryzen 9 CPU and the Radeon RX 5700 GPUs, AMD also announced the Ryzen 3000 APUs (Accelerated Processing Units) at their “Next Horizon Gaming” event. Namely, the Ryzen 3 3200G and Ryzen 5 3400G which are set to succeed the Zen-based Ryzen 2200G and the 2400G. Keep in mind that the Ryzen 3000 APUs unlike the CPU lineup is based on the 12nm Zen+ architecture instead of the newer 7nm Zen 2.

AMD has announced its new flagship desktop processor, the Ryzen 9 3950X. This processor has the highest core count chip ever to be released on an AM4 platform. It’ll provide HEDT performance on a mainstream platform. The 16 core, 32 thread chip is competing directly against Intel’s Core i9-9960K processor and will sell for $749. It will be available in September.

AMD continues to push the performance envelope with its next-gen Ryzen 3000 processors and the accompanying X570 platform. It is the first chipset to support PCIe 4, and memory speeds as high as 5GHz. According to MSI, the MEG X570 Godlike is able to achieve 5100MHz without using any complex cooling methods.

One of the core highlights of this year’s E3 was the 16-core Ryzen 9 3950X CPU and the RX 5700 Navi graphics cards, being touted as the mid-range RTX killers. The first party benchmarks show that the Radeon RX 5700 XT tends to be 5-10% faster than the GeForce RTX 2070 while the RX 5700 appears to be almost 10% faster than the competing RTX 2060. However, amidst all the 7nm celebrations, a lot of people seem to have forgotten the Turing GPUs’ core advantage- RTX.
