At the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2019, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), a US-based semiconductor company and one of the biggest rivals of Intel in the CPU market and Nvidia in the GPU market, announced its next lineup of hardware with more powerful chips.

When we said AMD was readying a presentation on their Ryzen 9 3950X CPUs to awe crowds at E3, we weren’t thinking of something of this magnitude. But apparently, it’s true: a Geekbench test result has shown AMD’s $750, 16 core, 32 thread Ryzen 9 9 3950X beating Intel’s 18 core, 36 thread $2,000 i9-9980XE monster. Now, you may be thinking: ok, it beat it because of AMD’s announced 4.7 GHz boost, and did so only on single threaded performance, obviously… but you would be wrong.

AMD’s Robert Hallock, Ryzen Marketing Head has said in a tweet that AMD’s new processor architecture doesn’t have a single core boost clock like Intel. Instead, AMD’s Ryzen CPUs always tries to run as many cores as possible at the highest clocks.

A while back AMD announced the Ryzen 3000 mobile lineup and also allowed OEMs to pair the CPUs with NVIDIA’s GTX 16-series (Turing) GPUs, paving way for a new breed of gaming laptops available for as low as $999. Till now most of these portable gaming rigs were fitted with Intel chips and started at a minimum of $1300-1400. After the global launch a few months back, these AMD-NVIDIA gaming notebooks are now also available in India. The cheapest variant sells for 63K.

Ray tracing is a new technology a lot of people are buzzing about it. It’s a new type of rendering technology that’s set to take our graphics to the next level. A lot of upcoming games are going to support it, such as Cyberpunk and 2077and Watch Dogs Legion. Next gen consoles are also said to be getting in on it, at the very least we know the next Xbox will be. Now we also know that AMD is getting in on the action with their NAVI GPUs.

Like a lot of folks, I’m a tad sick of Intel. Last month we learned of its second big security scandal in as many years. Once again, the company not only neglected to disclose the problems in a timely way but also lacked a plan to recall the failed parts. Once again, buyers likely will have to cripple their Intel processors if they want to use them safely.

AMD Ryzen marketing lead, Robert Hallock has claimed that unlike Intel’s chips, the Ryzen CPUs don’t really have a single core turbo boost clock. Instead, their boost algorithm tries to run as many cores at the highest possible clocks, till a certain limit is reached, such as TDP, temps, or the peak core-clock.

AMD Ryzen 3000 “Matisse” processors are multi-chip modules of two kinds of dies – one or two 7 nm 8-core “Zen 2” CPU chiplets, and an I/O controller die that packs the processor’s dual-channel DDR4 memory controller, PCI-Express gen 4.0 root-complex, and an integrated southbridge that puts out some SoC I/O, such as two SATA 6 Gbps ports, four USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports, LPCIO (ISA), and SPI (for the UEFI BIOS ROM chip). It was earlier reported that while the Zen 2 CPU core chiplets are built on 7 nm process, the I/O controller is 14 nm.

Intel’s position in the CPU market can be best described as precarious. The move to the 10nm node is more than two years late, and even now that the mobile Ice Lake-U chips have started shipping, there’s still uncertainty regarding the availability of the 10nm chips. Meanwhile, AMD has fully migrated to the 7nm node, and the Zen 2 chips have started wreaking havoc on the mainstream Intel lineups.

AMD’s Navi reveal at E3 was lacking the one thing NVIDIA has been touting ever since the Turing RTX graphics cards came out, that’s right Ray-Tracing or simply RTX. Dr. Lisa Su compared the RX 5700 XT and the RX 5700 to the GeForce RTX 2070 and the 2060, respectively claiming around 10-20% more performance for just 20 bucks more, but there was no special sauce as rumored.

A leaked Geekbench score has revealed the AMD Ryzen 9 3950X CPU to be the fastest desktop-based CPUs on the market. With a Geekbench score of 61,072, it obliterates the Intel Core i9-9980 XE in multi-core performance.

On the other hand, Core i9 9980 XE has a Geekbench score of 46,618 in multi-core performance. Not only that, the AMD R9 3950X became the fastest desktop CPU by winning in the Single-core performance with a score of 5,868. Meanwhile, Intel’s chip only scored 5,395.
