AMD’s 3000 XT series CPUs offer minor single-threaded gains– and not much else.


AMD’s Ryzen 3000XT CPU refresh is here—benchmarks inside

Today, AMD released three new Ryzen 3000 desktop processors– the Ryzen 3000 XT line. These brand-new CPU models– the Ryzen 9 3900 XT, Ryzen 7 3800 XT, and Ryzen 5 3600 XT— are small refreshes of the existing Ryzen 9 3900 X, Ryzen 7 3800 X, and Ryzen 5 3600 X models and add a couple hundred MHz extra increase clock speed to the original versions.

We’ll go on and spoiler this one for you right away– if you have actually already got a Ryzen 3000 X-series desktop CPU, you do not need to hurry out to buy a brand-new one. These updates ought to be seen mostly as a method to keep pressure on Intel while AMD is ahead rather than something revolutionary.

If you’re currently in the market for a brand-new CPU and want the leading entertainer in your bracket, you probably desire the XT model. PC home builders looking for a much better worth per dollar may wish to look for the X-series CPUs to drop a few dollars, instead– none of the efficiency enhancements generated XT are frustrating.

You may likewise wish to skip the XT line if you’re trying to find the absolute top-dog CPU. That’s normally going to be the Ryzen 9 3950 X, which didn’t get an XT upgrade and surpasses the Ryzen 9 3900 XT in the majority of aspects.

Prior to we get to the benchmarks, we wish to make one disclaimer clear– we don’t have internal outcomes for the older X-series CPUs, the Intel i7-10700 K, or the Intel i5-10600 K. Passmark, Cinebench R20, and Geekbench 5 outcomes for those CPUs are sourced from openly offered composite ratings at cpubenchmark.net, cgidirector.com, and geekbench.com; Time Spy CPU results for those CPUs originate from criteria carried out by guru3d.com.

All test scores for Ryzen 3000 XT series CPUs and the Intel i9-10900 K CPU were generated straight at Ars Technica.

Ryzen 3000 XT vs. Ryzen 3000 X

  • Unsurprisingly, Ryzen 9 3950 X is faster than Ryzen 9 3900 XT. However the older Ryzen 5 3600 X dominating its newer 3600 XT sibling is an unanticipated upset.

  • The newer XT designs are 5-10?ster than their older X siblings in every single-threaded test– consisting of the 3950 X vs. 3900 XT, and 3600 X vs. 3600 XT. No upsets here.
