AMD刚刚以强大的全新 AMD Ryzen 3000 CPU(new AMD Ryzen 3000 CPUs)阵容震惊了消费 PC 领域(consumer PC space)，我最近在HDG上对此进行了报道。是时候从英特尔(Intel)转向AMD了吗？
在本文中，我将介绍 AMD 的新锐
龙(Ryzen)处理器，并提供一些关于在 2019 年和 2020 年构建新计算机时应该选择哪个处理器品牌的提示。(processor brand)
请记住，由于AMD Ryzen 3000芯片太新，我们还不能提供精确的基准(t offer precise benchmarking)比较，但我们仍然可以提供AMD 新Ryzen 3000 CPU(CPUs)与 Intel 同等产品之间的粗略性能价格比较。(performance comparison)
对于低端预算构建，请务必阅读我关于Intel 与(Intel vs) AMD（Ryzen 5和Ryzen 7 CPU(CPUs)）的帖子。本文将重点介绍两家公司的高端CPU(CPUs)。
AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 与 Intel i9-9900K
我们将从最顶层开始，因为我们认为这是最受关注的地方。如果您是认真的游戏玩家或内容创作者，那么最好的 CPU 是Intel i9-9900K，绝对是。但AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 有可能彻底改变这一点。
首先，让我们谈谈定价。AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 的售价为 499 美元，而 i9-9900K 目前的售价约为 485 美元。为了与新的Ryzen 产品(Ryzen lineup)线竞争，英特尔最好的游戏CPU的价格可能会下降，但就目前而言，价格非常具有可比性。
一眼看去，AMD 锐龙 9(AMD Ryzen 9) 3900X 的实力足以胜过i9 9900K。我们仍在等待基准测试，但有很多令人兴奋的事情。首先，AMD 的新锐龙9(Ryzen 9) 3900X 采用的是 7纳米工艺(nanometer process)。更小的(Smaller)晶体管意味着CPU(CPUs)可以更节能，在不达到温度限制的情况下推出更多计算。
所以，从 14 纳米跃升到 7 纳米对于锐龙(Ryzen)来说已经是一件大事了，这应该意味着更好的单线程性能。基本时钟速度(base clock speed)为 3.8GHz，高于i9 9900K的 3.6GHz(i9 9900K)基本时钟(base clock)
，并且您还可以获得 6MB/64MB 与 2MB/16MB 相比更大的缓存。对于多线程性能，事情看起来也非常壮观。Ryzen 9 3900X拥有 12 核 24 线程，而英特尔 i9 9900K(Intel i9 9900K)则拥有 8 核 16 线程。
最终，Ryzen 9 3900X 很容易以基本相同的价格成为i9 9900K的更强大替代品。(i9 9900K)而且，如果你需要更多的计算能力，售价 749 美元的AMD Ryzen 9 3950X 通过提供 16 个内核、32 个线程、8MB/64MB 缓存和3.8GHz的基本时钟将事情提升到荒谬的水平。(base clock)英特尔(Intel)现在肯定很担心。
AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 与 Intel i7-9700K
i7-9700K 比 i9-9900K 略有下降，通常零售价约为 400 美元。AMD 在这个价位上(price point)的新竞争对手是AMD Ryzen 7 3800X。
3800X 再次使用 7纳米工艺(nanometer process)，在英特尔 i7-9700K(Intel i7-9700K)使用的 14 纳米工艺上取得了很大的进步。在其他原始规格方面，Ryzen 7 3800X 配备 8 核 16 线程，主频(base clock)为 3.9GHz 。总缓存为 4MB/32MB。
i7-9700K 只有 8 个内核、8 个线程和 12MB 的 L3 缓存。再一次，如果您将AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 与 i7-9700K放在一起，如果AMD在性能方面表现出色，我不会感到惊讶
AMD 锐龙 5 3600 与 i5-9600K
但是低端呢？突然之间，
AMD可能刚刚在高端游戏性能上击败了英特尔(Intel)，但他们还能保持最佳低端CPU的头衔吗？好吧(Well)，找出答案的最佳方法是将新的AMD Ryzen 5 3600 与 i5-9600K 进行比较。
首先，i5-9600K 目前的售价为 230 美元，AMD Ryzen 5 3600 的售价为 199 美元。如果英特尔(Intel)
不降低 i5-9600K 的价格以与新的Ryzen 5 3600 竞争，我会感到非常震惊，所以我们假设价格点相同。
即使在这个价位上(price point)，AMD仍然以更好的架构取胜——他们最便宜的新AMD Ryzen 5 3600 仍然使用 7nm 处理器，将 14nm i5-9600K 抛在脑后。两种处理器都可以提升，但 i5-9600K 的起始频率为 3.7GHz，而Ryzen 5 3600的基本频率(base clock)
为3.6GHz。
当您意识到Ryzen 5有 6 个内核和 12 个线程时，额外的 100mHz 并没有任何意义。将其与 i5 上的单线程六核相结合，为Ryzen 5 3600 提供了更大的空间来获得更好的性能。
我建议AMD Ryzen 5 3600 与 i5-9600K 相比，其基准测试结果要好得多。
(AMD)2020 年AMD与英特尔——(Intel)谁会赢(Who Will Win)？
最终，在每一个价位上(price point)，AMD
都完全击败了英特尔(Intel)的产品。那么英特尔(Intel)将做些什么来竞争呢？就目前而言，英特尔(Intel)可能会稍微降低定价以向客户提供更好的交易，但即便如此，AMD仍有可能赢得性价比游戏。
英特尔(Intel)当然正在努力推出自己的 7nm CPU 系列(CPU range)。当他们这样做时，如果英特尔(Intel)的情况再次好转，我们不会感到惊讶
，但这可能要到 2020 年或以后。如果您正在市场上寻找一款出色的游戏CPU，那么新的AMD Ryzen 系列(AMD Ryzen lineup)是一个很好的起点。
如果您是游戏玩家或内容创作者，我绝对不能推荐AMD超过Intel。新阵容将于7 月 7(July 7)日推出，因此我建议在该日期之后等待几个月，以确保不会出现任何重大制造问题。这将使新的AMD Ryzen 3000 CPU成为(CPU)节日期间(holiday period)的完美礼物。
概括
综上所述，您是否应该切换到新的AMD Ryzen 3000阵容？好吧，如果您在市场上购买新的CPU，绝对可以。如果您已经拥有 i9-9900K，那么升级可能没有意义，除非您在接下来的 6 个月内绝对想要一台新 PC。
如果您的功能不那么强大，那么将CPU 升级(CPU upgrade)到新的AMD Ryzen 3000 CPU肯定会为您带来足够的性能提升，让您的投资物有所值。
Should You Buy the New AMD Ryzen 3000 CPUs or Stick with Intel?
AMD just shocked the consumer PC ѕpaсe with a powerful lineup of new AMD Ryzen 3000 CPUs, which I recently covered on HDG. Is it finally time to make the switch from Intel to AMD?
In this article, I take a look at AMD’s new
Ryzen processors and offer some tips on which processor brand you should go for
in 2019 and 2020 when building a new computer.
Keep in mind that because the AMD Ryzen 3000 chips are so new, we can’t offer precise benchmarking comparisons yet, but we can still provide a rough price to performance comparison between AMD’s new Ryzen 3000 CPUs versus Intel’s equivalent offerings.
For low-end budget builds, make sure to read my post on Intel vs AMD (Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 CPUs). This article will focus on the higher-end CPUs from both companies.
AMD Ryzen 9 3900X vs. Intel
i9-9900K
We will start at the very top because we think
this is where the biggest attention will be drawn. If you’re a serious gamer or
content creator, the best CPU available was the Intel i9-9900K, by a long shot.
But the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X has the potential to completely change that.
First, let’s talk about pricing. The AMD Ryzen
9 3900X will cost $499, whilst the i9-9900K is sitting at around $485 right
now. The pricing for Intel’s best gaming CPU may drop in an attempt to compete
against the new Ryzen lineup, but for now, the prices are very comparable.
At a glance, the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X has enough
power to outperform the i9 9900K. We are still waiting for benchmarks, but
there’s a lot to get excited about. Firstly, AMD’s new Ryzen 9 3900X is using a
7 nanometer process. Smaller transistors mean that CPUs can be more power
efficient, pushing out more calculations without hitting temperature limits.
So, a jump to 7 nanometer from 14 nanometer is
already a big thing for Ryzen, and it should mean better single threaded
performance. The base clock speed is 3.8GHz, bigger than the 3.6GHz base clock
of the i9 9900K, and you also get a much larger cache of 6MB/64MB versus
2MB/16MB. For multi-threaded performance, things are looking pretty spectacular
too. You’ll get 12 cores and 24 threads with the Ryzen 9 3900X, versus the 8
cores, 16 threads on the Intel i9 9900K.
Ultimately, the Ryzen 9 3900X easily has the
potential to be a more powerful alternative to the i9 9900K at basically the
same price. And, if you need even more computing power, the AMD Ryzen 9 3950X
for $749 takes things to ridiculous levels by offering 16 cores, 32 threads, 8MB/64MB
cache and a base clock of 3.8GHz. Intel is definitely worried right now.
AMD Ryzen 7 3800X vs Intel
i7-9700K
A slight step down from the i9-9900K is the i7-9700K, usually retailing for around $400. AMD’s new competitor at this price point is the AMD Ryzen 7 3800X.
Once again the 3800X is using a 7 nanometer process, giving it a big leg up on the 14nm process used by the Intel i7-9700K. In terms of other raw specifications, the Ryzen 7 3800X is fitted with 8 cores, 16 threads at a 3.9GHz base clock. Total cache is 4MB/32MB.
The i7-9700K has just 8 cores, 8 threads, and
a cache of 12MB of L3. Once again, I won’t be surprised if AMD knocks the ball
out of the park in terms of performance if you put the AMD Ryzen 7 3800X
against the i7-9700K
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 vs i5-9600K
But what about the low end? All of a sudden,
AMD may just have beat Intel in performance for gaming at the high end, but can
they still hold onto their title for best low end CPU? Well, the best way to
find out is to compare the new AMD Ryzen 5 3600 vs the i5-9600K.
Firstly, the i5-9600K sits at $230 right now,
and the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 will launch for $199. I would be very shocked if Intel
doesn’t drop the price of the i5-9600K to compete with the new Ryzen 5 3600, so
let’s just assume price points will be the same.
Even at this price point, AMD still wins with
the better architecture – their cheapest new AMD Ryzen 5, the 3600, is still
using a 7nm processor, leaving the 14nm i5-9600K in the dust. Both processors
can be boosted, but the i5-9600K starts at 3.7GHz, versus the 3.6GHz base clock
of the Ryzen 5 3600.
That extra 100mHz isn’t going to mean anything
when you realize that the Ryzen 5 has 6 cores and 12 threads. Putting that
against the single threaded six cores on the i5 gives the Ryzen 5 3600 so much
more room for better performance.
I’d suggest that the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 will hit
far, far better benchmark results against the i5-9600K.
AMD vs Intel in 2020 – Who Will Win?
Ultimately, at every single price point, AMD
has completely beaten Intel’s offering. So what will Intel do to compete? For
now, Intel may drop their pricing a little to offer a better deal for
customers, but even then, AMD is still likely to win the price/performance
game.
Intel are of course working to launch their
own 7nm CPU range. When they do, we wouldn’t be surprised if things look up for
Intel again, but that may not be until 2020 or beyond. If you’re in the market
for a good gaming CPU, the new AMD Ryzen lineup is an excellent place to start.
If you are a gamer or a content creator, I
absolutely cannot recommend AMD more than Intel at this point. The new lineup
will launch on July 7, so I’d suggest waiting a few months after that date to
make sure there aren’t any major manufacturing issues that come up. This would
make a new AMD Ryzen 3000 CPU the perfect gift around the holiday period.
Summary
In summary, should you switch to the new AMD Ryzen 3000 lineup? Well, if you are in the market for a new CPU, absolutely. If you already have the i9-9900K, it may not make sense to upgrade unless you’re absolutely after a new PC within the next 6 months.
If you are on anything less powerful, then a CPU upgrade to a new AMD Ryzen 3000 CPU will definitely bring you enough performance improvements to make the investment worth it.
