AMD Ryzen 7 3700X vs Ryzen 9 3900X: Gaming Performance Across 10 Titles, Lows, Clock Scaling and CPU/GPU Power Draw (PROACTIVE)edit

Overall, this may seem like a disappointing result. But let’s back up a bit and analyze the situation. The performance is more or less on par with the Ryzen 7 3700X. But so is the power consumption and temperature. This means that in most games we’re running into a utilization limit. Most titles top out at 8 physical, making the Ryzen 7 3700X the top-end CPU gamers. If fact, in my experience it’s the 3600X is the sweet spot. In most titles, it performs on par or better than both the Core i5-9600X as well as the Ryzen 7 3700X, costing less than both.

Intel Core i9-9900K vs AMD Ryzen 9 3900X: Which is the Fastest Consumer CPU? (PROACTIVE)edit

Overall, the Ryzen 9 3900X is the clear winner. Offering 90% of the gaming performance as the 9900K and being more than 50% faster in everything else, that’s not a hard conclusion. However, which chip you should opt for largely depends on your workloads. If you are building a gaming PC that will be mostly used for high frame-rate gaming, then the Core i9 is a no-brainer.

Testing Eco Mode on the AMD Ryzen 3000 CPUs: 95% Performance for 70% Power (PROACTIVE)edit

AMD’s Ryzen 3000 chips are not only the most powerful CPUs on the block, but they’re also the most efficient. Where the Intel Core i9-9900K draws as much as 250W under heavy load, the Ryzen 9 3900X usually doesn’t cross the 130W mark despite having a higher core count. This is thanks to TSMC’s cutting edge 7nm node which happens to be twice as efficient compared to Intel’s 14nm based Coffee Lake chips.

Why catering to gamers is a ‘call of duty’ for many companiesedit

“This is the best time for AMD owing to the rapidly increasing appetite for gaming along with the accessibility of faster internet penetration and market availability of affordable PCs, laptops and mobile devices. Our 7 nanometer Ryzen CPUs and Navi based Radeon GPUs are focussed at gamers, along with our gaming laptops from major OEM partners cater to gamers on the move,” said Vinay Sinha, Managing Director, Sales at AMD India. Until a few years ago, India only saw launches of cheaper chips and laptops but gaming has reversed that trend with players seeing India as a big opportunity.

AMD in 2019: Big things in small packagesedit

At the beginning of 2019, AMD had a lot to respond to. Nvidia was still the king of the graphics hill with its RTX 20-series, and Intel similarly had the CPU space covered with many of the best processors thanks to powerful single-core performance. But, this has been a year for change, and AMD embraced that. AMD launched a slew of new products this year, and shook up the market in a way we haven’t seen in a long while. It’s now coming out on top in a number of hardware matchups against its rivals, and is showing serious momentum that could make 2020 an even more impressive year.

Quantum leap: Why we first need to focus on the ethical challenges of artificial intelligenceedit

AI has the potential to be as transformative to the world as electricity, by helping us understand the patterns of information around us. But it is not close to living up to the hype. The super-intelligent machines and runaway AI that we fear are far from reality; what we have today is a rudimentary technology that requires lots of training. What’s more, the phrase artificial intelligence might be a misnomer — because human intelligence and spirit amount to much more than what bits and bytes can encapsulate.
