Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “AMD is About to CRUSH Intel… Just Like I Predicted”.
5 years ago I stood on this very Street and I told you guys how much I loved amd’s roadmap. If it hadn’t been such an ethical issue, I would have bought their stock. Obviously, that wasn’t Financial advice and it still isn’t, but man did I ever nail it because the hits keep coming and it’s all at Intel’s expense. There are a lot of reasons to be excited about the new CPUs that AMD just announced, but I’m not here to just talk about that, because there are also reasons to we only cautiously enthusiastic. So, let’s talk about that, but first this enthusiastic segue to our sponsor pulseway, Monitor and take control of your systems while you’re on the move and respond to it alerts right from your phone with pulseway. You can try it for free today and secure 40 % off any plan, including their month-to-month options, who wants 16 % more performance for reportedly the same price. Yeah me too, and that’s what AMD is claiming to deliver with the ryzen 9 950x.
Considering that there’s no bump and boost clocks or cash and their base clocks are actually a little bit lower, that is a very respectable result and enough to absolutely blow the doors off of Intel’s consumer Flagship, The Core i 94900 k. Now these are amd’s Z numbers and you should take them with a sodium tablet until we get a chance to run them through the lab. But the performance leader is rarely the one that’s going to be caught, stretching the truth, and there is no doubt that the performance leader right now is AMD. Unfortunately, that’s all AMD gave us as far as performance numbers go.
They are not sharing benchmarks for the rest of the 9000 Series, lineup though they did give us specs for the ryzen 5 and the ryzen 7. That would indicate a similar performance uplift over last gen, with a reduction in heat and power consumption to go along with the performance D. Until that’s sicker burn than you’ll get from a core I9. It gets even better for the gamers out.
There. Precedent suggests that the five and the Seven class chips are going to be single CCD SKS, making them the goto for minmaxer gamers. That is at least until we get an x3d variant which AMD hasn’t announced at this time. The most exciting part for me, though, is what’s not new, while AMD has been hard at work on a new motherboard chip set to launch.
Alongside these CPUs, it’s going to be on the same am5 socket that we’ve come to know and they’ve recommitted to their long-term relationship, confirming support for am5 until at least 2027. This is such great news. If you already have a 600 series board, you’ve got to love.
Just drop in performance upgrades, but with how strong some of these new boards look, I suspect some people are going to be tempted to upgrade anyway. For one thing, USB 4.0 is now standard on all x870 and x870 or extreme motherboards, which means Thunderbolt 3 capability, which is an optional part of USB 4 may become more common on AMD, and the same goes for PCI Express Gen 5, which is now on all X800 series chipsets for both the GPU and for nvme storage, though how many ports are required to be Gen 5, remains to be seen. Pcie Gen 5 has double the bandwidth of Gen 4, which, while we aren’t likely to actually use it to its full potential. Today means that devices can use fewer lanes for the same performance level. That’S going to pair nicely with the higher speed Expo certified memory kits. That AMD is promising for this generation, but wait there’s even more am4 users are getting new Chips, that’s right! The ryzen 9 5900 XT and ryzen 7 5800 XT are coming to give you a nice little performance boost for your older system. This puts am4 users on par with the 13700 K and the 13600 K respectively, all of which is pretty great, but is anyone else feeling like something’s missing, like look over the spec tables? Again, it’s going to be kind of familiar maximum of 16 cores same boost clock same cash, mostly the same TDP yeah IPC is up or instructions per clock, so we’re going to get more performance, but does this feel a little bit like the Habit that Intel got Stuck in during the years between the 2000 series and 7,000 Series, where each generation gave us modest, speed, increases or IPC increases, and not much else, I mean to be clear up to 16 cores is great compared to where Intel left us with four, but there’s something Much more important missing here: ryzen 3, I mean AMD strategy of selling their last gen product for a discount is an okay option for gamers and enthus, and certainly amd’s pocketbook.
I mean you can’t blame them for wanting to get the most possible back on their R .
