You’ve been ready, presumably even patiently, for AMD to let you know when you will get your fingers on its newest gaming-focused CPUs with V-cache. Properly wait no extra: In line with an official tweet, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D and Ryzen 9 7900X3D will arrive earlier than the tip of the month, with the Ryzen 7 7800X3D following in April. If you would like any of them, you would possibly need to begin pinching your pennies now.
Right here’s the complete launch and pricing breakdown:
Ryzen 9 7950X3D – $699, February 28
Ryzen 9 7900X3D – $599, February 28
Ryzen 7 7800X3D – $449, April 6
All three are next-gen successors to the well-received Ryzen 7 5800X3D, which dominated in its pricing class and gained the hearts of PC avid gamers. The brand new chips, in 16-, 12-, and 8-core varieties, have proven to be extremely highly effective, beating out the comparable Intel chips for single-thread duties and even some multi-core benchmarks. AMD calls them “the fastest gaming processors in the world,” and for the time being, nobody can say they’re flawed.
The pricing of those chips is attention-grabbing. The 7950X3D is identical value because the Ryzen 9 7950X, with out its performance-boosting V-cache function, and the opposite two chips are solely $50 costlier than their non-gaming counterparts. It’s potential that we’d see value drops for these barely older Ryzen 7000-series chips, formally or not. Then once more, you by no means know—all the trade appears to be holding again on manufacturing to maintain provides low and costs excessive whereas the PC market suffers a critical lull.
