AMD Granite Ridge and Strix Point Zen 5 Die-sizes and Transistor Counts Confirmed

Personally, I need to upgrade my 5600X but undecided if i should get one now or wait for the X3D variant.

What's your goal? I'd personally go for the normal 9700x, the 3d variants are just pointless. 30% more money for a bit better gaming performance if you have a super expensive card is just meh. With that extra money you could just get a 9900x instead (although I dont exactly like the 6+6 configuration)

Going by AMD slide which are slightly confusing the 9700X is 12% faster than a 5800X3D so not very impressive.... In tpu benchmarks the 7800X3D is 20% faster than the 5800X3D.... Yet in a separate slide the 9700X is 2% faster than the 7800X3D lol so who knows what to believe other than waiting for benchmarks to decide...

I fully expect the 9700X with tuned memory to be identical to the 7800x 3d in gaming, and of course faster in everything non gaming. For the same money 9700x > 7800x 3d for me.

Gaming but that will diminish in favor of productivity.

Fair point and i have a 7900xtx.

Same here, so i’m leaning towards the 9700X.

I have a 4090 with a 2021 12900k, the 4090 is still a massive bottleneck. That's why I don't see the point of spending the extra for the 3d over the normal 9700x. You will be massively gpu bottlenecked unless you go for something like 1440p medium / low settings.

Monitor is 4k 120hz so cant really lower the res, love my native 4k.

I'm also at 4k / 240hz, and yeah, your GPU will be a massive bottleneck way before youll see any difference between the 3d and the non 3d variants. If only the 9900x would be an 8+4 configuration, that would be the perfect middle ground.

12+0 like Bartlet lake!

Don't like no ecores. Unless they go with 16P cores, id rather stick with at least 8ecores.

AMD won't launch the Ryzen AI 300 Series for the AM5 socket?

Nope. They will be mobile only for the time being. Maybe they'll put out something similar when they decide to update their desktop APU lineup later.
