Utilizing an innovative 5nm process, the die size has been reduced by 18% whilst IPC uplifts by roughly 13%. This model is the mid-range edition, with 8 cores, 16 threads, and SMT technology. Built for AM5 sockets, this processor supports DDR5, PCIe 5.0, and is future-proofed for upcoming advancements. Expect great things from this CPU. AMD Ryzen™ 9 7950X3D CPU at a Glance: 5nm CPU with Zen 4 architecture and 3D V-Cache Sixteen cores, thirty-two threads, and multithreading technology Maximum 120W TDP Compatible with AM5 socket and existing AM4 CPU coolers Supports DDR5 RAM plus PCIe 5.0 for graphics and storage New memory overclocking software AMD EXPO The CPU for Gamers As a mid-range CPU from the new AMD Ryzen 7000 Series, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D delivers on gaming performance. Boasting sixteen cores and thirty-two threads, this processor utilizes SMT (simultaneous multithreading technology) to optimize performance during gaming workloads. Base frequencies for this processor are 4.5GHz but, as the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D is unlocked for overclocking, this can be boosted up to 5.7GHz with the use of Precision Boost 2 or Precision Boost Overdrive. Overall, this generation of Ryzen processors has an incredible uplift in performance and IPC (instructions per cycle). Game with smooth frame rates, stream in high definition, and create content flawlessly. The maximum 120W TDP delivers premium performance, enabling you to get the most out of this processor. 3D V-Cache 3D V-Cache is an innovative cache system that allows the AMD Ryzen 7000X3D models to deliver incredible efficiency. The CPU’s cache memory is 3D stacked, which facilitates higher capacities and more simultaneous access to the data stored. The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D has a total 144MB cache, which is intelligently split into L1, L2, and L3 tiers. Zen 4 With this generation of processors comes a new architecture. Evolving the highly performative Zen 3, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D CPU utilizes the innovative Zen 4 architecture. The new front-end design is paired with machine learning, enabling a better focus on core performance. Large frequency fluctuations are avoided thanks to the 256-bit data width, which also speeds up language and image processing. Constantly innovating, AMD has integrated fourth-generation FinFET technology creating the world’s first 5mn consumer CPU. Overall, the processor is smaller, faster, and has lower power transistors to optimize performance. Whilst the die is 18% smaller, new features have been integrated that not only enable great functionality, but improve the energy efficiency of the processor. At the same power output, there is up to 49% more performance than seen in the previous architecture. Future-Proofed A key feature of the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D is how future-proofed the platform has been made. Starting with the new socket, AM5. AMD wants this to be the platform that grows with you, supporting upcoming technological advances and industry standards. For memory, AM5 compatible with DDR5 RAM modules, ideally supporting speeds between 5200 and 6000MHz. Additionally, a memory overclocking program has been developed specifically for the AMD Ryzen 7000 Series and DDR5, called AMD EXPO. This will offer optimized, on-click overclocking that can enhance 1080p gaming by 11% and reduce latency by up to 63ns. The other future-proof feature is PCIe support. The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D is equipped with PCIe 5.0, for both graphics cards and storage. Enjoy ultra-fast connectivity on all your PCIe devices.
