  • We've already seen AMD's latest chip, the Ryzen 9800X3D, demolish the competition (including other AMD chips) for playing games.  But how does it perform for the kind of work I do, like running databases, compiling code, processing mathematical models?  (Phoronix)
    For the geo mean of the more than 300 benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D surpassed the Core i9 14900K and landed just behind the prior gen Ryzen 9 7950X and Ryzen 9 7950X3D processors. Compared to the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D delivered 1.34x the performance.
    This is an 8 core CPU competing against Intel chips with 24 cores.  Yes, the huge Phoronix benchmark suite compares both single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads, but then I run a mix of single-threaded and multi-threaded tasks in my daily work.

    Its performance here is nothing short of amazing.  35% faster than the preceding generation is huge.  I want one.


  • And it's sold out.  (Tom's Hardware)

    Seems there was some pent-up demand out there; supplies are selling out as soon as they arrive in stores.
