Who can be the king of CPU market in 19 years with three generations of Ruilong and nine generations of Core？

　　[PConline Miscellaneous Talk] The most eye-catching star product in DIY market this year is the three generations of Ruilong. The reason why it is so expected is that toothpaste has been bitter all over the world for a long time. After Intel announced that Core dominated the CPU market, the maximum number of four cores and eight threads was changed, and the motherboard was changed in basic years, and 14nm was used for 10,000 years. For consumers, it is really hard to tell! Fortunately, the situation has changed recently. In the first two years, AMD released two cards, namely, multi-core and cost-effective, which brought the CPU market back to a competitive state. However, the first two generations of AMD’s Ruilong also had shortcomings, the frequency was not high enough, the IPC was not strong enough, the single-core performance was always inferior to that of Core, and the game performance was not as good.

　　So can the three generations of Ruilong turn over and completely overthrow the rule of the nine generations of Core?

　　The following video is the main content of this video ~

　　Of course, we also provide a graphic version for friends with tight traffic.

　　The third generation of Ruilong completed the completion of the previous defects, greatly enhanced the IPC and the single-core acceleration frequency, on this basis, it also strengthened the multi-core performance that had advantages before, and even used the latest 7nm process, so it is natural for the new products to attract attention.

　　So how did it do it?

1. New architecture

　　The new dragon ambassador uses a brand-new ZEN2 architecture. Although the architecture name looks like the second generation, it is actually more like a newly developed architecture.

　　ZEN2 uses chiplet multi-chip design, which separates the I/O module from the core. It looks like driving backwards to the era of separation of the North Bridge. In fact, this is a witty choice for the current development of glue technology and the stagnant performance of cpu single core. This design has two advantages.

　　First, the I/O module can be built by different processes with the core, so that the cost can be reduced without affecting the performance. This time, the I/O of Xinruilong is based on the 12nm process of returning to Grofonde.

　　Secondly, after the separation of I/O, the accumulation of cores becomes more flexible. Before Ruilong, two CCX modules were interconnected by IF bus, and a total of eight cores became a die. If two dies and four CCX were interconnected, the access delay between cores would increase, and only a rendering cpu with a bad game experience of 1950X could be made. Now AMD can focus on I/O, pile cores nearby like a pile of wood, and make a more comprehensive 16-core processor appear in the consumer market.

2. New process

　　7nm is not much to say. AMD officially publicizes that the new product can reduce power consumption by 50% under the same performance. Under the same power consumption, the performance is improved by 25%. According to the current TDP of 3700X with only 65w, the energy consumption ratio of three generations of Ruilong has made great progress.

3. New PCIe support

　　Xinruilong provides PCIe 4.0 channel, which is twice the bandwidth of PCIe 3.0 channel now, and better supports high-speed devices, such as SSD.

4、Precision Boost 2

　　This is the latest frequency BOOST mechanism of Ruilong, which will make the frequency of each work core as high as possible and improve efficiency.

5. Topology awareness and UEFI CPPC2

　　This gadget is the result of the cooperation between AMD and Microsoft. The updated version of Windows on May 10, 2019 contains two important functions, which can improve the performance of AMD Ryzen processor:

　　Topology awareness – Automatically enabled in version 1903 of Windows 10 1903 this function instructs the Windows process planner to allocate threads in a single CCX (quad-core cluster) before generating threads or migrating threads to the second or third CCX, which can improve the game performance.

　　So the friends who bought three generations of Ruilong remember to upgrade to 1903.

　　Show the test platform first.

　　Unfortunately, we only got 3900X and 3700X two U, 3900X12 cores and 24 threads, the frequency was 3.8 to 4.6GHz, the third-level cache was 7036MB, 105Wtdp, 3700X was 8 cores and 16 threads, 3.6 to 4.4 GHz, and the TDP was only 65 W..

　　The test platform uses X570 Aorus MASTER from Gigabyte, and the motherboard uses 14-phase luxury power supply and the latest power supply design, which can effectively take away the heat of power supply and better support the 12-core processor 3900X.

　　Compared with CPU, 9900K and 9700K are used, which are also the two most powerful Intel home platform processors at present. Gigabyte MASTER series z390 motherboard is also used with the motherboard.

　　Theoretical performance test is to test the theoretical performance of CPU through running software such as chess and 3DMark. This link 3900X undoubtedly takes the lead, leaving other processors far behind.

　　Of course, in addition to running away, the performance of CPU in practical application is also very important. In this respect, the performance of processor in 3D rendering and audio-visual transcoding is emphasized, which is of great reference value for professional users who need high-performance computers.

　　It is worth mentioning that the third generation of Ruilong has added the AVX256 instruction set, which has made great progress in H265 transcoding compared with the second generation.

　　Coming to the game measurement link that everyone is most concerned about, 1080p can better reflect the performance of CPU games. The higher the resolution, the smaller the gap between CPUs, so this time we used 1080p resolution for testing.

　　It can be seen that the new dragon has made great progress compared with the second generation, but it still can’t beat the 9 th generation Core.

　　The power consumption link is even worse. The power consumption of 3900X is similar to that of 2700X, but don’t forget that 3900X has four more cores and the frequency is higher. When using P95 roaster, the power consumption is hundreds of W lower than that of 9900K.

　　The power consumption of 3700x is even lower, and the three generations of Ruilong have great advantages in this link.

　　Combining 18 performance tests, we can get the following chart.

　　The comprehensive performance of 3700X is about 4% weaker than 9900K, but it is about 10% ahead of 9700K, and 3900X is 13% ahead of 9900K.

　　At present, the price of 3700X is 2599, and that of 3900X is 3999. Faced with the disadvantages, Intel can’t sit still. The price of a much cheaper non-nuclear display board, the performance of 9900KF which is equivalent to 9900K, is currently selling for 3399 yuan, and the price of 9700KF is currently selling for 2899 yuan. The CPU market will set off a bloody storm again.

　　At present, the three generations of Ruilong have indeed mastered greater initiative.

Purchase suggestion

　　At present, the 3700X, which has low power consumption and little demand for motherboard and heat dissipation, is worth buying for many enthusiasts.B450 motherboardCost-effective, and the 7% game gap between the CPU and the nine-generation Core will be further narrowed under the 2K resolution and 4K resolution commonly used in high-end platforms.

　　Enthusiasts who need live broadcast, 3D rendering and video editing may need more 3900X CPU, and the motherboard recommends better power supply.X470 and X570 motherboards.

　　The ninth generation of Core is not without the value of purchase, but it is really not competitive. However, there is nothing that can’t be solved by reducing the price. If there is, it will be reduced a little. At present, the price of nine-generation Core chips will continue to fall. If you are a serious game enthusiast and set up a computer just to play games, then the 9900KF and 9700KF chips can still be considered after the price reduction, but the matching motherboard radiator can’t be sloppy.
