AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT / Ryzen 7 3800XT / Ryzen 9 3900XT Linux Performance In 130+ Benchmarks

[mlau]

3950x is best of the best silicon, in order to fit 16 cores in a 105w tdp

I was more surprised that it even beat intel, which in my opinion has far better cpu power management. And that makes it even more impressive.

"Over the entire span of benchmarks, the Ryzen 9 3900XT saw a peak power draw of 144 Watts with an average of just 75 Watts compared to the Core i9 10900K having an average power draw of 133 Watts and a peak of 379 Watts."

nice amd

14+^+ on overdrive

Wow, the 3950x is perf-per-watt champion, didn't expect that.

Fine, they're overclocking the better silicon now that they have better yields.
Still no reason to move out of my 3700X, but they could be interesting for those upgrading their systems now, still I'd wait for the 4000 series to be out.

it only works if they sell both old and new variants. otherwise what would they do with binned worse silicon, throw it away?

chiplets yo.

The chiplet with worse silicon goes in a Ryzen 5 or 3 or whatever. That's the one of the main benefits of not making a single die.

It’s our opinion that AMD is taking a page out of the Intel playbook and copying what they did with the Core i9-9900KS. We mean, they’re cashing in on improved yields, binning the better silicon, and selling it at a marked up price, while also removing the box cooler to maximize profit margins.

And this is bad because? This is the enthusiast level, where people pay 100$ more just because it has RGB leds.

Also who uses the stock cooler on a CPU that costs 400+ euro anyway. None complained when they didn't include a cooler for threadripper.

Michael, page 3 cryptography tests: I think something went wrong while testing the Ryzen 3900X this particular result doesn't make any sense.

it must be painful to be intel these days
