For a long time now, leaks have indicated only a small improvement in the gaming performance of the main Ryzen 9000 series compared to previous 3D processors. Specifically, with the Ryzen 7 9700X, it should be only 2% compared to the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. Although the 9700X is a low-end processor, AMD generously added cores in this generation.
However, what is interesting about the 9700X is that it consumes only 65W with the same performance as the 7800X3D with 3D V-Cache, which draws a respectable 105W. It means lower consumption, less heat, the same performance, and we are still only in the basic series. The 9000 series will also get new 3D, which is worth the wait for players. We will see what the consumption and performances will be in this area. Plus, of course, the prices.
Another interesting thing is that AMD has redesigned the IHS – Integrated Heat Spreader, or integrated heat sink. It reportedly has up to 15% lower thermal resistance and cools 7°C better than its predecessor in the previous Ryzen 7000 generation.
AMD has further reduced the TDP specifications for some of their processors, namely the Ryzen 9 9900X, Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X processors, which will further reduce cooling requirements.
