Digest more
It's not the first Zen 5 X3D processor that AMD has released that's faster than the 9800X3D, though. The Ryzen 9 9950X3D has two core chiplets (CCDs), one with 3D V-cache, and one without. When it comes to boost clocks, the latter can hit 5.7 GHz, whereas the former topped out at 5.5 GHz in the tests I carried out in my review of the 9950X3D.
The new processor is a souped-up version of the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D. It's called the AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D, and although it shares the same architecture and central specs as the ori

AMD clocks in with higher CPU speeds, leaves architecture untouched
New chips same as the old chips AMD kicked off CES on Monday by unveiling a slew of desktop and mobile processors aimed at everyone from casual users and creative professionals to gamers and AI devs.
AMD's refreshed Ryzen 7 9850X3D is up to 27% faster than Intel's Core Ultra 9 285K: up to 48% faster in Counter-Strike 2, and 32% faster in Cyberpunk 2077.
With eight cores, AMD's game-changing 3D V-Cache tech, and boosted clock speed the Ryzen 7 9850X3D is set to take the frame rate crown.
Most chips you’ll see in laptops will max out with the Ryzen AI 7 450, an 8-core CPU with a 5.1GHz clock speed and 24MB cache with only a 50 TOPS NPU. Overall, it’s a subdued update to one of AMD’s most prevalent CPUs.
As a quick refresher, Ryzen AI Max processors (aka Strix Halo) comprise one or two core chiplets (CCDs) plus a huge input/output chiplet (IOD) that houses a pretty beefy GPU. It has 40 RDNA 3.5 compute units (2560 shaders), with 64 MB of Level 3 cache, and a unified memory bus that's 256-bits wide.
The AMD Ryzen 9950X3D is the best all-round processor in the world. It's the top of the pile for gaming and it's competitive with the best of the best for productivity. But it is expensive, and even then it's so popular it's out of stock almost everywhere ...
In brief: AMD dominated Amazon's best-selling CPU chart back in November 2024, taking the top 12 spots. But has Team Red managed to hold on to that momentum over a year later? Today, the top 14 best-selling Amazon processors are AMD models, and they make ...
