The Ryzen 9 3950X 16-core AMD could arrive on September 30

IF YOU WAIT on hanging baskets for the upscale Ryzen 9 3950X, you will be delighted to know that it could appear on September 30th.

That's what stands out from an ad on the German Digitec online store, whose processor is priced at 999 € (around £ 920). It is likely that price is simply a placeholder that allows fans of the red team in treatment to get an idea of ​​what they might need to pay for the processor.

AMD removed the covers of the Ryzen 9 3950X at E3 2019, calling it "the world's first 16-core game processor". At the time, the Red team had suggested its release in September. This pseudo-exit date leak is therefore potentially a problem.

So that's something AMD fans should look forward to later this month, at least if they have large pockets and a top-of-the-line PC to create or upgrade.

The Ryzen 9 3950X promises to be a very powerful processor; it apparently spills the Core i9-9980XE, which costs a penny north of £ 1,800.

We can expect to see the Ryzen 9 3950X appear on high-end desktops made by specialized PC builders specializing in gaming and streaming. And the processor probably bridges the gap between the Ryzen family of processors and AMD's Threadripper processors, whose third-generation versions should be in preparation.

That's all we really have about it. Aside from speculation, we do not know much about the Ryzen 9 3950X, apart from the fact that it promises to provide quite powerful performance.

It is still unclear whether it can really beat Intel's high-end processors, but there is no doubt that AMD continues to stand out with its Ryzen processors through the architecture Zen 2 of 7 nanometers. μ
