Subj : Let the games begin: after October the battle of the next-gen pro To : All From : TechnologyDaily Date : Tue Oct 15 2024 18:15:04 Let the games begin: after October the battle of the next-gen processors kicks off, so you might wanna hold off on building that new PC Date: Tue, 15 Oct 2024 16:59:08 +0000 Description: Further rumors suggest that it might be true that an announcement for AMDs Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU will follow Intels launch of its 200K Arrow Lake-S chip. Come October, gamers will have their pick of the best CPUs of this generation. FULL STORY ====================================================================== Dont buy a new PC until after October 25, 2024! Yes, I know that's extremely specific, but I promise, it'll all make sense shortly - as it seems like that date is when were going to finally know the truth of whats in AMDs Ryzen 7 9800X3D box. It was leaker HXL on X who recently claimed that AMDs new chip would be announced on October 25. Now leaker wjm47196, who posts on the Chiphell forum (and whose leaks tend to be true!), corroborates it. 10.24: ARL-S Review10.25: 9800X3D launch?11.7: 9800X3D Availablehttps://t.co/i6K3MChAHI October 11, 2024 A different rumor shared by leaker Hoang Anh Phu on X argues instead that AMDs new 8-core gaming CPU will launch in the first week of November or a little later. Either way, these claims place the reveal shortly after Intels Core 200K Arrow Lake-S launch. That chip is currently rumored to be released on October 24, potentially just a single day before AMDs hotly-anticipated 9800X3D announcement. The competition is heating up (again) The timing of the potential releases of both AMD and Intels next-gen CPUs is perfect, considering theyll take advantage of the holiday season. Intel will have a head start in the market, and potentially snap up the first swathe of early adopters. That head start isnt massive, though, and the Arrow Lake range wont contain anything like AMDs new V-cache technology, which makes Team Red's X3D chips superior for gaming performance specifically. Intel recently admitted that its next-gen CPUs will be outperformed by AMDs 3D V-cache Ryzen 7000 processors. HXL also recently leaked some Cinebench R23 results alleged to be clock speeds of the 9800X3D. They showed a base clock speed of 4.7GHz and an all-core Turbo speed of 5.2GHz, making it faster than its predecessor the 7800X3D by 500MHz at base clock speed and 400MHz at all-core turbo. So if youre in the market for a new PC, stick some duct tape on your old one - for now, at least. Let the old workhorse wheeze along with you until October 25. Thats when the speculated prices and rumored clock speeds will be put to bed and youll know whether your next PCs CPU should be blue or red. AMD Ryzen 9800X3D benchmark leaks could disappoint PC gamers but lets not rule out this CPU just yet Intel announces Core Ultra 200 series desktop CPUs, the first desktop AI processors on the market Qualcomm's big chip merge plan paves the way for wait for it the return of the Windows Phone ====================================================================== Link to news story: https://www.techradar.com/computing/cpu/let-the-games-begin-after-october-the- battle-of-the-next-gen-processors-kicks-off-so-you-might-wanna-hold-off-on-bui lding-that-new-pc --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 (Linux/64) * Origin: tqwNet Technology News (1337:1/100) .
