AMD reveals the release date and performance of new processors

Processors AMD Ryzen 9000 for desktop computers were officially presented in early June at the Taiwanese fair Computex 2024. Since then, however, a lot of information has appeared on the web, and today the Reds have officially decided to reveal the release date and performance.

AMD Granite Ridge will offer lower temperatures

At launch we will get four processors – AMD Ryzen 9 9950X (16 cores, 32 threads), Ryzen 9 9990X (12 cores, 24 threads), Ryzen 7 9700X (8 cores, 16 threads) and Ryzen 5 9600X (6 cores, 12 threads). As previously suspected, all of them will debut on the market July 31, 2024.

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X is expected to offer up to 22% better gaming performance than the competing Intel Core i9-14900K. Of course, we are talking about the best-case scenario; on average, according to American data, we are talking about 11.6% higher efficiency, which is not a bad result anyway.

AMD also compares itself to its processors. Unfortunately, not the popular Ryzen 7000X3D series, but the much older Ryzen 5000X3D processors from 2022. In this case, the system AMD Ryzen 7 9700X is on average 12% more efficient in games than Ryzen 7 5800X3D. And all this with a lower TDP (65 vs 105 W).

The Reds also boast about a number of other optimizations that are supposed to result in temperatures lower by up to 7°C at the same power consumption. DDR5 RAM support has also been improved and there should be no problems now with 8000 MT/s modules and the OC potential has also been reportedly increased.

Suggested pricing for the AMD Ryzen 9000 series remains unknown for now. It is quite possible that the Americans want to get the opinion of reviewers first, because the described CPUs have already reached the first editorial offices. We will have to wait until autumn for the Blues’ answer, the Intel Arrow Lake-S series.
