Where is the sharpness of the Ruilong 9 3950X processor? How does AMD do it?

In the 7nm Ruilong 3000 series processor released by AMD, the Ruilong 9 3950X released on the E3 game show is the most eye-catching. The 16-core 32-thread processor itself is not unusual, but the Ruilong 9 3950X is too special. It is the mainstream AM4 platform rather than the previous TR4 platform, still able to achieve 4.7GHz under 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, everyone should understand where the Ruilong 9 3950X processor is powerful, it is more than 4 cores than AMD's Ruilong 9 3900X processor, the result frequency is increased from 4.6GHz to 4.7GHz, considering the AMD official In the test, the Ruilong 9 3900X can surpass the Core i9-9900K. If nothing unexpected, the Ruilong 9 3950X should also be the strongest game processor.

Now ask, how does AMD do it? The PCGamnesn website recently exchanged with AMD's global game marketing director Sasa Marinkovic, who introduced the story behind the Ruilong 9 3950X processor.

The reason why the Ruilong 9 3950X & CVHD-950X-100.000 processor can achieve multi-core + high frequency is related to the Chiplets chip design of the Zen2 architecture. The 12-core Ruilong 9 3900X is also a set of 2 CPU cores. In theory, there are 16 cores, but What really prompted AMD to make the Ruilong 9 3950X processor was their special packaging technology (special binning) to create such a high-frequency CPU core.

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

Travis Kirsch, AMD's client product manager, said AMD's goal is to give players the best gaming and creative experience through special packaging and other technologies, as long as the player is willing to spend more. 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.
