The specifications and price of the Ryzen 9 3950X have been revealed, which will have 16 cores for $ 749 and will hit the market in September.
The new Ryzen 9 3950X has been officially announced by Lisa Su. This will be the processor with the most cores for the gaming market today. Logically, this processor is not designed for everyone, it is focused on a very specific audience. Above all, it is designed for streaming + gaming, video editing and the like. Perhaps the most surprising has been the warm reception to the price. This 16-core, 32-thread processor will be priced at $ 749.
Warm welcome to the Ryzen 9 3950X processor
I was quite surprised by the reception and more if we compare it with the competition. The 9-core Intel Core i9900-10X costs more than € 1, while the Core i9-9980XE it costs more than € 2. I think it's a brutal price for a 000-core processor. In general I think that the prices offered by AMD are within the market, although I will explain this more calmly tomorrow. But, in short: the days of 'cheap' hardware are long gone, never to return.
Regarding the characteristics of the Ryzen 9 3950X, we must highlight its 16 cores and 32 processing threads. This will work at a base frequency of 3.5GHz and in Boost mode it will reach 4.7GHz. It has 72MB of L3 cache and has a TDP of 105W. This processor will take the longest to reach the market and we will not see it until September. The rest of the Ryzen 3000 processors will arrive on July 7.
The performance of this Ryzen 9 3950X has not said performance, but practically for that price it does not matter. Having 16 cores for less than half of an Intel processor seems like a fool's errand and it will surely yield more. We will see in September, when it is launched on the market, how the friend behaves.
