AMD Ryzen 9 3950X could be company’s first 16-core gaming chip with 105W TDP

As per a slide of the product, obtained by Videocardz, it would be the first gaming CPU to feature 16-cores. With 32 threads, the CPU could support 72MB of total cache. The chip is touted to feature a base clock speed of 3.5GHz and touch 4.7GHz on boost. This most likely possible with the uses two 8-core Zen 2 dies but even then, the CPU will reportedly operate on a 105W TDP. If this turns out to be true, the rumoured AMD CPU could be one of the most power efficient 16 core chips for desktops. The closest rival of the alleged Ryzen 3950X would be the Intel i9-9960X CPU, which, despite running on lower clock speeds, has a TDP of 165W. 

While there is no word on how much the new AMD chip might be priced at, rumours suggest that it could be the company’s first desktop CPU to cost around $999 (Rs 70,000 approx). If this turns out to be true, then the AMD Ryzen 7 3800X that costs $399 (Rs 27,671 approx) and the Ryzen 9 3900X that was announced for $499 (Rs 34,607 approx) might be more enticing for customers. However, nothing is confirmed until AMD announces it and so, we suggest you take this info with a pinch of salt.
