After months of leaks and rumors, AMD finally revealed its Navi GPU and its Radeon RX 5700. Not only that, the GPU also supports Ray Tracing in real time.
However, Lisa Su, CEO of AMD, did not reveal much more in the presentation of Computex 2019. AMD is probably looking to fully reveal the GPU in E3 2019 with live game benchmarks.
It remains to be seen how well the GPU can handle ray tracing in real time. Until now, the Nvidia RTX GPUs were the only ones that supported this function.
Not only that, PlayStation 5 is also compatible with Ray Tracing as Sony has confirmed. Sony has officially confirmed the specifications for PlayStation 5. According to Sony, the console features a custom chip based on the Zen 2 Ryzen 3000 7 nm.
In addition, the console features AMD Navi graphics and supports real-time ray tracing. It seems that the competition for Nvidia is strengthening day by day.
AMD affirms "A new design of computer unit" for its GPU RX 5000 Navi. As for the architecture, the GPU is based on the RDNA architecture.
In addition, AMD states that the Radeon RX 5700 is 10{7be40b84a6a43fc4fae13304fce9a2695859798abfc41afd127b9f8b21c5f9c5} faster than the Nvidia RTX 2070 at least in Strange Brigade. So expect the GPU to be on par with RTX 2070.
In addition to the AMD Radeon RX 5700, the company also introduced its Ryzen 3000 CPU line, including the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, Ryzen 7 3800X, Ryzen 7 3700X and 6 Core Ryzen 5 desktop CPUs.
Starting with Ryzen 9 3900X, the CPU comes with 12 cores / 24 threads, 70 MB cache, 3.8 GHz base clock and 4.6 GHz boost clock. Despite all these impressive specifications, AMD is asking for $ 499 for its Ryzen 9 3900X desktop CPU.
In addition, AMD also revealed benchmarks for Ryzen 9 3900X for multi-threaded and single-threaded processes. Not on the CPU it worked fine, but it also beat the Intel Core i9-9900K and the i9-9920X.
Intel Core i9-9900K features 8 cores / 16 threads and a 5.0 GHz boost clock for all its cores. The reason why 3900X exceeds the Intel CPU could be its greater number of cores / threads.
As for the rest, the Ryzen 7 3800X and 3700X are 8-core / 16-wire CPUs and are priced at $ 399 and $ 329 respectively. AMD also announced the Ryzen 5 3600X and 3600 6-wire / 12-wire desktop CPUs. These CPUs will be released on July 7, 2019, which coincides with previous leaks and rumors.
