I know just about everything concerning AMD's new Ryzen 9000 CPUs after seeing them in action, but I still have one lingering question.
AMD ’s Ryzen 9000 CPUs are mostly a known quantity. They were a surprise announcement last month, and they’re arriving soon — AMD confirmed the lineup of four CPUs is arriving on July 31. But after seeing them in action this past week at AMD ’s Zen 5 Tech Day, I still have one lingering question — how much will they cost?
There are changes under the hood to back up that claim. Zen 5 now supports eight dispatch/retire units, while Zen 4 only supports six. There are also six arithmetic logic units in the core, up from four previously. A big part of the architectural gains comes from the 512-bit data path for AVX instructions, however. AMD supported AVX-512 previously through two 256-bit paths, but now, it supports a singular 512-bit path.
Based on those results, the Ryzen 9 9950X ends up about 15% faster than the Ryzen 9 7950X and 13% faster than the Core i9-14900K in Cinebench R23. AMD has claimed an increase of 21% over the Core i9-14900K in Cinebench R24 , so it’ll be interesting to see where the processor lands when we’ve had a chance to test it.
