How terrible is the performance test of the R9 5900X and RX 6900 duo?

PC is no longer so luxury. This is probably quite true today when computers have become indispensable for each individual and especially digital graphics people. With the need for image processing, 3D simulation rendering is becoming more and more realistic and detailed, surely the machines a few years ago were slower than the original, even unable to respond well to the job. So, this is the time when you need to equip yourself with a better new configuration! So which configuration is trendy and powerful? Take a look at the article below.

Like the picture above, you must have guessed what, right? Well, the configuration that the article wants to bring to everyone today will revolve around the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X duo and the latest Radeon RX 6900XT graphics card today. What’s hot about this duo for us to care about?

As we all know, AMD divides their popular CPUs into many different segments, meeting different needs with the Ryzen 3 to Ryzen 5 product lines and the most advanced is Ryzen 9. In which, Ryzen 9 5900X represents today’s most premium product line. It’s fair to say that when AMD finally eclipsed Intel’s performance on the desktop PC platform, it was the best processor for gaming as their single-core performance improved dramatically. dominant. With this advantage, the Ryzen 5000 Series not only meets the needs of gaming, but also helps content creators comfortably create and interact with content smoothly. What makes the Ryzen 5000 Series so optimal? Let’s dig into its technology.

The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X is built on the Zen 3 architecture, which at the surface level could look similar to Zen 2 – both are 7nm, after all. However, AMD has redesigned the processor architecture to increase performance and IPC performance. The biggest architectural difference from Zen 2 to Zen 3 is that instead of having two Core Combinations (CCX) per die (CCD), each CCD has only one CCX, with each CCX having up to 8 cores, instead because of 4 cores on Zen 2. This change not only reduces latency when cores communicate with each other, but also means that each CCX has access to the full 32MB of L3 cache, instead of being limited to 16MB on Zen 2. This means that while the Ryzen 9 5900X has the same amount of L3 Cache as the Ryzen 9 3900X at 64MB, each core has direct access to 32MB on the 5900X, instead of 16MB on the 3900X. Since caching is so important to gaming performance, this change, along with higher clock speeds, boosts gaming performance dramatically. In fact, we’ll explore later.

Completing maximum support for PCIe 4.0, which Intel has yet to implement, continues to give the Ryzen 9 5900X a huge advantage. With PCIe 4.0, there is no reason for users to buy Intel processors at this time.
With Ryzen 5 5900X, we will have a total of 12 cores, 24 processing threads. Its base clock is 3.7GHz and its maximum boost clock is 4.8GHz. The 5900X still supports dual-channel DDR4 ram memory and has a maximum ram speed of up to 3200MHz. Its L3 cache is up to 64MB and has a thermal power rating (TDP) of about 105W.

A few images of the Ryzen 9 5900X
Paired with the Ryzen 9 5900X is the latest, most powerful Radeon RX 6900 XT graphics card that the Red team owns. AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT is seen as AMD’s new halo, surpassing Radeon RX 6800 XT and RX 6800 with fully enabled Navi 21 GPU with 80 Compute Units. The latest generation GPUs top the Red team’s GPU Benchmark hierarchy and are among the best graphics cards out there. The 6900 XT is also the most expensive AMD graphics card ever.
The RX 6900 XT has the full 80 Compute Units and 5120 shaders that the Navi 21 GPU provides, and the rest of the specs, including memory speed and TDP, are the same as the RX 6800 XT. That’s not to say there isn’t a difference in the silicon core. Sorting chips from silicon wafers is nothing new, but the best chips usually come from closer to the center of the wafer, where there are fewer defects. Since the 6900 XT requires a fully functioning Navi 21 chip, it almost guarantees that other characteristics such as power and voltage requirements will also be better. How much does that matter in practice? If you are hoping to overclock and get maximum performance, the silicon lottery can give you a few percent more. However, considering the 6900 XT it costs more than the 6800 XT, in return you get the performance you want without the need to overclock.
