AMD unveils Ryzen 9000-series desktop processors at Computex 2024

The AMD Ryzen 9000-series is the follow up to AMD's 7000-series processors released back in 2022, and feature about 15% faster performance over their comparable predecessor chips, according to AMD.

From what I've read and watched that we're seeing a nice bump in performance but less heat and power

They still run rather hot… 65 watt TDP for the bottom of the range with 6 cores, 170 watt TDP for the top of the range with 16 cores. From what I read, the lower power consumption was at the top-end chips.

Be interesting to see how they stack up as Perf-per-Watt vs Apple Silicon.

Yeah, but in comparison to Intel, they're down right frigid

Here's GN's reporting of the AMD 9000 release.

When will the X3D arrive? I’d wait for that.

If memory serves me it’s like 6 months after the cpu announcement.

UPDATE:

Was Ryzen 9000 delayed over a simple typo? AMD Ryzen 9 9700X spotted - VideoCardz.com

Ryzen 9000 delay, it was a typo all along? Ryzen 9 9700X instead of Ryzen 7 9700X. AMD has not directly confirmed the reason for the Ryzen 9000 launch delay. Officially, the company cited quality issues that did not meet their expectations. However, it seems the issue might have been a simple...

The reviews of the 9600X and 9700X are fairly negative.

Anandtech seems positive, depending on your view of things. AVX512 support and Single Threaded numbers are impressive. Multithreading not much of an improvement.

Yeah folks are mad that AMD "promised" bigger IPC uplift and it isn't coming across that way in tests.

Hardware Unboxed and Gamers Nexus seem to be fairly negative. Techpowerup says the chips are fine, just more expensive for the performance given.

While the launch MSRP is indeed cheaper… Well… Jay does a fair job pointing out the problem:

To be fair, many people are aware the immediate previous model is often a better/best value.

I’m planning — definitely a want, not a need -- a new PC build and thus have been contemplating the decision for a while. The 9000 series has nice tech upgrades (e.g., AVX512 improvements, more L1 cache, higher density manufacturing process). And if we are to believe early 9950X benchmarks, the increased efficiency is definitely noteworthy. With that said, NIB Ryzen 7000/5000 series CPUs can be found at a substantial discount and price difference. Examples:

Ryzen 9 9950X - launch MSRP: $649
Ryzen 9 7950X - launch MSRP: $699, current MSRP: $599, currently at B&H: $523
Ryzen 9 9900X - launch MSRP: $499
Ryzen 9 7900X - launch MSRP: $549, current MSRP: $424, currently at B&H: $359
Ryzen 7 9700X - launch MSRP: $359 — That cost is familiar ……………………………../\
Ryzen 7 7700X - launch MSRP: $399, current MSRP: $349, currently at B&H: $299
Ryzen 5 9600X - launch MSRP: $279
Ryzen 5 7600X - launch MSRP: $299, current MSRP: $229, currently at B&H: $201
Ryzen 9 5950X - launch MSRP: $799, current MSRP: $399
Ryzen 9 5900X - launch MSRP: $549, current MSRP: $279
Ryzen 7 5800X - launch MSRP: $449, current MSRP: $209
Ryzen 5 5600X - launch MSRP: $299, current MSRP: $159

* Current MSRP is via AMD’s (US) online store.
