AMD Ryzen 9 3950X vs AMD Ryzen 9 3900 vs AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
AMD Ryzen 9 3950X
► remove from comparison
The AMD Ryzen 9 3950X is a high-end desktop processor with 16 cores based on the Zen 2 architecture. At launch in November 2019 it is the fastest CPU of the Matisse series. The 3950X clocks from 3.5 GHz (base) up to 4.7 GHz (Turbo for a single core). All sixteen cores can reach up to 4.1 GHz.
Thanks to the 16 cores and 32 threads, the 3950X offers excellent application performance - if the number of cores can be used. Thanks to the relatively high Turbo, the single core performance is also situated in the high end. For games however, there are faster CPUs, like the Core i9-10900K.
The Ryzen 9 3950X is manufactured in 7nm (the four CCX-cluster with the cores) at TSMC and 12 nm (I/O die) at Globalfoundries. The TDP is rated at 250 Watt and therefore the CPU needs a very powerful cooling system.
AMD Ryzen 9 3900
► remove from comparison
The Ryzen 9 3900 is a fast desktop CPU with 12 cores and 24 threads based on the Matisse series. It is the fastest 65 Watt CPU at launch in late 2019 and clocks the cores between 3.1 (base) to 4.3 (boost) clock (including Precision Boost). It uses 4 CCX-clusters where 3 of the 4 cores are activated. The CPU is manufactured in the modern 7nm process at TSMC. The I/O die on the package is separate and manufactured in 12 nm at Globalfoundries.
Due to the reduced Turbo speed, the Ryzen 9 3900 is aimed at content creators and other professionals that can make use of the 12 cores. For games, a fast 8-core CPU with higher boost clocks is the better choice.
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X

Der AMD Ryzen 7 3700X ist ein Desktop-Prozessor mit 8-Kernen und Hyperthreading (SMT), weshalb dieser 16 Threads gleichzeitig verarbeiten kann. Mit dem Launch am 07.07.2019 ist er nach dem Ryzen 7 3800X der zweitschnellste Ryzen 7 Prozessor und mit 65 Watt TDP deutlich sparsamer als das schnellste Ryzen 7 Modell.
Der Ryzen 7 3700X taktet mit 3,6 GHz Basistakt und kann per Turbo auf bis zu 4,4 GHz takten. Bei Last aller 8 Kerne erreicht der Ryzen 7 3700X maximal 4,1 GHz. Dank des Precision Boost 2 kann der Takt auf einem höheren Level gehalten werden, wie wir es schon von Zen+ her kennen.
Die Leistung des AMD Ryzen 7 3700X ist durchweg bei allen Anwendungen hervorragend. Vor allem bei Multi-Thread-Anwendungen kann hier der native 8-Kerner seine Stärken ausspielen und trotz der geringen TDP ist der Intel Core i9-9900K in Reichweite. Die beiden CCX-Cluster bestehend aus jeweils 4 CPU-Kernen befinden sich in einem CCD (je 4 Kerne mit eigenem 16 MByte L3 Cache). Dieser ist genau 74 mm² groß und wird im neuen 7 nm Verfahren bei TSMC gefertigt. Der I/O-Die ist separiert und kommt im mit der älteren 12 nm Strukturbreite daher, welcher weiterhin von Gobalfoundries gefertigt.
Bei Spielen kann der AMD Ryzen 7 3700X dank der verbesserten IPC überzeugen. In Spielen erreicht der Ryzen 7 3700X etwa die Leistung eines Intel Core i7-8700K. Geschlagen geben muss sich der Ryzen momentan allerdings trotzdem, denn in den meisten Spielen bietet der Coffee-Lake-Prozessor etwas mehr Leistung. Zukünftige Unterstützung von mehr Kernen können das Blatt schnell wenden.
