In the 7nm Ruilong 3000 series processor released by AMD, the Ruilong 93950X released on the E3 game show is the most eye-catching. The 16-core 32-thread processor itself is not unusual, but the Ruilong 93950X is too special, it is The mainstream AM4 platform, rather than the previous TR4 platform, can still achieve 4.7GHz under the 16 cores. The official name is called the world's first 16-core game processor.

What does it mean to dare to use this statement? DIY players should know that for the CPU, the more the number of cores, the less likely the frequency will be improved. The technology, power consumption, and heat are all limited, so this leads to a very embarrassing problem for the enthusiast processor. Just to prove the top-level identity, their core number is much higher than the average desktop processor, but the consequence is that their frequency is low, resulting in poor game performance. This problem is in Ruilong Threadripper, Intel Core i9 (X299 platform) There have been appearances, resulting in these high-priced processors playing games is not as good as the ordinary Ruilong, Core i7 processor.

Understand this, we should understand where the Ruilong 93950X processor is powerful. It has more than 4 cores than AMD's Ruilong 93900X processor. The result frequency is increased from 4.6GHz to 4.7GHz, considering the AMD official test. Ruilong 93900X can exceed the Core i9-9900K. If nothing unexpected, Ruilong 93950X should be the strongest game processor at present.

Now ask, how does AMD do it? The PCGamnesn website recently exchanged with AMD's global game marketing director SasaMarinkovic, who introduced the story behind the Ruilong 93950X processor.

The reason why the Ruilong 93950X processor can achieve multi-core + high frequency is related to the Chiplets chip design of the Zen2 architecture. The 12-core Ruilong 93900X is also a set of 2 CPU cores. In theory, there are 16 cores, but it really promotes AMD's Sharpon 93950X processor is still their special packaging technology (specialbinning) to create such a high frequency CPU core.

SasaMarinkovic said that AMD has made these special CPU cores into 16-core processors, which are more expensive, more rare, and more difficult to package.

AMD client product manager Travis Kirsch said that AMD's goal is to give players the best game and creative experience through special packaging and other technologies, as long as the player is willing to spend more money. In an ideal world, this situation is normal, but in reality it is different. The higher the performance of the processor game, the more likely it is to go backwards.

In the past, when you look at high-end platforms, you will find that the frequency of going up is probably lower. It is different on the third-generation Athlon processor. You will see the parallel development of the two, that is, the more cores The game performance is also strong.
