i just never thought it'd be like this until
i get it you know you want people to know you're you're still great for games
but the thing is tactically launching an article proving
it on october the 7th the day before AMD's big announcement
this morning um is that while what you said was true
you had to know that it wouldn't be for long
AMD's where gaming begins event just wrapped up and we've got some huge
updates to go through for you including dr lisa announcing that AMD's ryzen 5000
will officially be at the heart of your next gaming machine
you know what's in my heart though our sponsor glasswire with glassware you
can see if a strange device joins your Wi-Fi and block it instantly get 25 off

AMD has been on a steady upward trajectory in the steam hardware survey
for the last few years and they recently cracked market share of more than a
quarter of all pcs running steam which
like if you're a pc gamer you've probably got
steam installed that is a huge number and it's gonna get bigger we knew that
AMD would be announcing next gen ryzen 5000 series processors based on their
zen 3 architecture but we thought it was
going to be the evolutionary this
is more like revolutionary not only has zen 3 improved the instructions per
clock rate by 19 over zen ii but it manages to do so with
a claimed zero additional socket power
and the exact same TDP as before on top
of that AMD has done away with the compute complex which means that now all
eight cores on the die are able to communicate directly with not only each
other but also with their shared cash so
no more two by sixteen megabyte cash now
all of the cores have access to the entire 32 megabytes per die
that has huge implications for latency sensitive applications like games four's
n3 cpus were announced today and they followed the same naming format that AMD
set with ryzen 3000 except that we skipped the whole 4000 thing because
desktop mobile something something don't worry it's all synced up now so there's
16 cores at the top six cores at the bottom for now and they're all set to
launch on store shelves together on november 5th that's right a hard launch
and for the first time in a long long time AMD has seen fit to increase the
pricing of their offerings above Intel's
a ballsy move that may just work out for them honestly i'm not even mad as long
as they pour that extra cash into r d and keep pc gaming's traditional cycle
of excitement followed shortly by buyer's remorse
well and alive one disappointment is that AMD still hasn't managed to cross
that magical 5 gigahertz milestone but
boost clocks are creeping upward with 4.6 gigahertz being the slowest of the
bunch and when you combine that with the arguably more important massive
per-clock performance improvements you've got a recipe for speed based on
the slides that AMD showed off we're expecting gamers to see anywhere from a
20 to 50 percent improvement in performance over ryzen 3000 and with
numbers like that AMD should roughly match Intel as a worst case or even beat
them by up to 20 percent i mean cs go
used to be an Intel stronghold now more like uh flaccid hold
AMD is now also claiming that 1v1 so
this is with just a single core working they can beat Intel by nearly 90 points
in cinebench and like they already had a pretty big lead in productivity
applications thanks to their higher core counts at pretty much every price point
furthermore they're claiming that the ryzen 9 5950x so that's the 16 core
should beat Intel's core i9 for cad for the first time as well as pulling off
nearly 60 more performance in v-ray it's
important to remember guys though that there's not really an Intel equivalent
chip to the 5950x at least on the consumer desktop so we'd like to see the
5900x in those workloads too and we will make sure you're subscribed
because uh Anthony's gonna be very very
busy working on our review for these products better stock up on sweat bands and water
bottles there Anthony lttstore.com baby now i know that matching Intel's gaming
performance might not seem like that big of a deal to some of you out there
but it is AMD fans and fans of competition
in the CPU space in general have been salivating for over three years now
watching AMD's trajectory versus Intel's trajectory waiting for them to meet so
that that's right it was gonna happen eventually AMD would end up on top again
i mean how long has it been core two
14 years like i kind of need a moment here guys this
is what AMD was talking about when they called ryzen disruptive this is industry
changing and you might think that i'm being hyperbolic here so
why don't we change gears and talk about Intel for a moment 10th gen core is
still using Intel's to put it gently tried and tested 14 nanometer process
which to be fair to Intel does have better density than most competing 10
nanometer processes but the problem is that tsmc's seven
nanometer process that AMD is using is roughly as dense as Intel's 10 nanometer
which Intel is already shipping in laptops so
you know you might think Intel should be able to dust themselves off with the
upcoming 11th gen core series codename rocket lake and come charging back into
the fight right maybe
thing is Intel is going to need to pull a serious rabbit out of their hat at
this point because they've thrown every engineering solution at this problem up
to and including actually shaving down
the physical thickness of their CPU dies to improve thermal conductivity so they
can squeeze out a little bit more performance
and making matters worse rocket lake is rumored to be yet another
14 nanometer CPU although it's also rumored to be based
on the same core architecture as tiger lake just embigant which means we may
see a die area increase and consequently a power and thermal output increase
what's that going to mean i don't know but it'll gain pci express
gen 4 just in time for that to become important as next generation games start
shipping with direct storage requiring high-speed ssds for data streaming while
gaming and it's coming in q1 next year so in summary the best case scenario is
Intel's missing the holiday season this year and the worst cases they're missing
the holiday season next year so how's AMD able to pull off these kinds of
games they tell us that thanks to their
chiplet process they're able to run development on future cpus in parallel
and with zen 3 they're exemplifying that by simply plonking the new dies onto the
same packages that zen 2 used complete with the same i o die as before
that also means that zen 3 is going to drop right into a 500 series motherboard
running the BIOS that you may very well already have installed on your board
crazy right although you will want to update to the latest when you get a
chance for the best results as for the rest of the backwards compatibility
story 300 series motherboard owners will need to upgrade to a new board but 400
series owners can expect a BIOS update in january to enable support for the new
cpus now AMD tells us that overclocking is going to be similar to what we're
used to right now with memory being the primary focus but they gave us a little
tease by saying and i quote it will be a
breeze to set a variety of world records of your choosing
what a terrifying thought for anyone who's wearing an Intel badge at work
right now this is kind of like the old days when by the time game consoles got through
their development process and launched they had already been outstripped
because pc technology was going so fast like it's happening
and i think it's fair to say that we've got AMD to thank for that
okay and you you leather jacket wearing rogue you
but don't get comfortable AMD's CPU day also included a sneak peek
at the expected performance of big navi
showing their upcoming GPU roughly in line with the rtx 3080
that means if it's true AMD's GPU division has
disappointed me many a time it may actually be possible to run a
fully team red gaming rig on the high end again with a straight face
like this again we'll have to wait and see what
the real world numbers look like but so far AMD's probably feeling pretty
confident right about now and it definitely helps on that front that
NVIDIA had their foot off the accelerator for a generation with the
rtx 2000 series as for when you can get your hands on this exciting new tech
november 5th is the date to watch i don't know when reviews are going to go
live yet but it's a pretty safe bet that that'll be on the fifth as well i am
super excited to get my hands on these chips and i can't wait to see if we're
wrong about Intel's response i mean who knows maybe a little time in the back
seat just like the good old days will do them some good help them
gather their thoughts and some cpus that people want to buy
