AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D: Gaming Powerhouse Faces Stock Shortages

AMD's new Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor, featuring Zen 5 architecture and second-generation 3D V-Cache technology, outperforms its predecessors, showing a 14% speed increase over the 7800X3D and a 43% improvement over the 9700X. Tests conducted by ComputerBase, using a common platform, highlight the significant performance gains attributed to the enhanced cache rather than just CPU clock speeds. The 9800X3D also supports overclocking, unlike the 7800X3D, further showcasing its advanced capabilities.

"AMD Introduces Zen 5 Support with New AVX Instructions for GCC Compiler"

AMD has initiated the enablement of its Zen5 microarchitecture in the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) with the introduction of patches, ahead of the expected Zen5 product launch later this year. The Zen5 architecture is anticipated to feature new AVX instructions such as AVXVNNI, MOVDIRI, MOVDIR64B, AVX512VP2INTERSECT, and PREFETCHI, which were previously absent in AMD products. This development coincides with Intel's work on the Clearwater Forest and Panther Lake CPU series, not expected to launch this year. The initial patches also indicate that Zen5 will support the same instruction set across its entire family of products, with potential power-efficient variants. However, there are unresolved questions regarding the availability of LLVM/Clang compilers for Zen5, as patches for this compiler are yet to be seen.

"Rumored Next-Gen Xbox to Feature AMD Zen5 and RDNA5 Architecture, Launching Sooner Than Expected"

Rumors suggest that the next-generation Xbox, expected to launch in 2026, will feature AMD Zen5 and RDNA5 architectures. Microsoft is reportedly speeding up the release to compete with the rumored PlayStation 5 Pro launch in late 2024. While Microsoft has confirmed plans for RDNA5 graphics architecture, it is still undecided whether to use ARM64 or AMD x64 Zen6 based core design. The console's launch push to 2026 may result in the use of Zen5 architecture instead of Zen6. Sony is also said to be working on an updated PS5 Pro console with upgraded RDNA3 graphics.

"First Look: AMD EPYC Turin CPUs Unveiled with Record-Breaking Core Counts"

Leaked photos reveal the upcoming AMD EPYC Turin CPUs, which will feature up to 128 Zen5 cores or a 192 Zen5c design. These next-gen data-center processors will support DDR5-6000 memory, CXL 2.0, and PCIe Gen5 standards while maintaining socket compatibility with the existing SP5 socket. The leaked images show no change in design from the previous Genoa (Zen4) series, but a noticeable difference in the color of the bracket used for transportation and socket installation. The leaked information also suggests that AMD might introduce different EPYC series for various customer groups with the Zen6 architecture.
