AMD Ryzen 7 9700X vs AMD Ryzen 5 9600X vs AMD Ryzen 9 9950X

AMD Ryzen 7 9700X

► remove from comparison AMD Ryzen 7 9700X

The Ryzen 7 9700X is an upper mid-range desktop CPU of the Granite Ridge product family that features 8 Zen 5 cores (16 threads) running at 3.8 GHz to 5.5 GHz, PCIe 5 support and a basic iGPU. The Ryzen was launched in June 2024, with sales slated to start some time in July.

Architecture and Features

Just like Strix Point APUs, Granite Ridge processors make use of the new Zen 5 microarchitecture. However, there are no efficient cores here; all of 9700X's cores are full Zen 5 cores. Furthermore, Granite Ridge is a multi-die design with only the CPU cores produced using a fairly modern 4 nm TSMC process. Strix Point processors are a single-die design, from what we know.

According to AMD, Zen 5 delivers a 16% IPC improvement over Zen 4 thanks to branch prediction improvements and other refinements.

Elsewhere, the 9700X has 32 MB of L3 cache and 24 direct PCIe 5 lanes (3.93 GB/s throughput per lane) with up to 12 additional PCIe 4 lanes available depending on the motherboard. It supports DDR5 RAM as fast as 5600 MT/s, ECC memory included - this too depends on the motherboard.

The 9700X is unlocked for overclocking. Naturally, the AM5 socket CPU fully supports Windows 11, 64-bit Windows 10 as well as many Linux distros.

Performance

If early July leaks are any indication, the 9700X is set to have multi-thread performance matching the fastest laptop chips such as the 24-core Core i9-13950HX. We'll update this section once we get our hands on a system powered by the 9700X.

Graphics

The Radeon 610M comes equipped with just 128 unified shaders running at up to 2,200 MHz. Its gaming performance is slated to be extremely low and only just sufficient for pre-2020 games in resolutions such as 1024x768.

Power consumption

The CPU cores are built with a 4 nm TSMC process for good, as of mid 2024, power efficiency. (Apple is the leader in this regard with the second-generation 3 nm process.)

The Ryzen 7's long-term TDP is 65 W. It'll probably consume at least 100 W when under heavy short-term loads. If overclocked, the power consumption figures will increase significantly.

AMD Ryzen 5 9600X

The Ryzen 5 9600X is a mid-range desktop CPU of the Granite Ridge product family that features 6 Zen 5 cores (12 threads) running at 3.9 GHz to 5.4 GHz, PCIe 5 support and a basic iGPU. The Ryzen was launched in June 2024, with sales slated to start some time in August.

Performance

In our in-house testing, the 9600X delivered multi-thread performance on par with the Intel Core i5-12600K and the octa-core AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D chip which is very impressive considering the price difference.

Power consumption

The CPU cores are built with TSMC's N4P process for good, as of mid 2024, power efficiency. (Apple is the leader in this regard with the second-generation 3 nm process.)

The Ryzen 5's long-term TDP is 65 W. It'll probably consume at least 100 W when under heavy short-term loads. If overclocked, the power consumption figures will increase significantly.

AMD Ryzen 9 9950X

► remove from comparison AMD Ryzen 9 9950X

Der Ryzen 9 9950X ist eine sehr, sehr leistungsstarke Desktop-CPU der Granite Ridge Produktfamilie, die über 16 Zen 5 Kerne (32 Threads) mit bis zu 5,7 GHz, PCIe 5 Unterstützung und eine einfache iGPU. Der Ryzen 9 wurde im Juni 2024 vorgestellt, der Verkaufsstart ist für August geplant.

Der 9950X teilt sich einige der Spezifikationen mit dem älteren Zen 4-betriebenen Ryzen 9 7950X, einschließlich (aber nicht beschränkt auf) 16 MB L2-Cache, 64 MB L3-Cache, 5,7 GHz Spitzentaktfrequenz und 170 W Langzeit-TDP.

Architektur und Funktionen

Genau wie die Strix Point APUs nutzen auch die Granite Ridge Prozessoren die neue Zen 5 Mikroarchitektur. Allerdings gibt es hier keine Effizienzkerne. Alle Kerne des 9950X sind volle Zen 5 Kerne. Außerdem handelt es sich bei Granite Ridge um ein Multi-Die-Design, bei dem nur die CPU-Kerne in einem recht modernen 4 nm TSMC-Prozess hergestellt werden. Soweit wir wissen, handelt es sich bei den Strix Point Prozessoren um ein Single-Die-Design.

Laut AMD bietet Zen 5 dank verbesserter Verzweigungsvorhersage und anderer Verfeinerungen eine 16%-ige IPC-Verbesserung gegenüber Zen 4.

Ansonsten verfügt der 9950X über beeindruckende 64 MB L3-Cache und 24 direkte PCIe 5-Lanes (3,93 GB/s Durchsatz pro Lane), wobei je nach Motherboard bis zu 12 zusätzliche PCIe 4-Lanes verfügbar sind. Er unterstützt DDR5 RAM mit einer Geschwindigkeit von bis zu 5600 MT/s, einschließlich ECC-Speicher - auch dies ist abhängig vom Motherboard.

Der 9950X ist für die Übertaktung freigeschaltet. Natürlich unterstützt die AM5-Sockel-CPU Windows 11, 64-Bit Windows 10 sowie viele Linux-Distributionen.

Performance

Laut den Anfang Juli veröffentlichten Leaks ist seine Multi-Thread-Leistung ungefähr so gut wie die des 24-Kern Core i9-14900K Intel CPU. Wir werden diesen Abschnitt auf jeden Fall aktualisieren, sobald wir ein System mit dem 9950X in die Hände bekommen.

Grafik

Die Radeon 610M ist mit nur 128 Unified Shadern ausgestattet, die mit bis zu 2.200 MHz laufen. Ihre Gaming Performance soll extrem niedrig sein und gerade noch für Spiele aus der Zeit vor 2020 in Auflösungen wie 1024x768 ausreichen.

Stromverbrauch

Die CPU-Kerne werden mit dem N4P-Prozess von TSMC gefertigt, der ab Mitte 2024 für eine gute Energieeffizienz sorgt. (Apple ist in dieser Hinsicht mit dem 3 nm-Prozess der zweiten Generation führend)

Der langfristige TDP des Ryzen 9 liegt bei 170 W. Bei kurzzeitiger starker Belastung wird er wahrscheinlich bis zu 250 W verbrauchen. Wenn er übertaktet wird, wird der Stromverbrauch deutlich ansteigen.
