Ready to spend that year-end bonus in grabbing something nice for yourself or your friends and families? Then AMD has a simple buy guide for you.
First, we have the brand new Ryzen 7 9800X3D carrying 2nd Gen 3D V-Cache technology at 64MB that provides the best gaming performance in 2024 and it is fully unlocked to allow even further tuning. On the other hand, if you’re not chasing the latest and greatest, feel free to pick up the last-gen Ryzen 7 7800X3D instead – With its now lower market price yet competitive value, you can go for this one. Otherwise, for complete raw performance, the Ryzen 9 9950X is the highest end consumer desktop chip within the Ryzen 9000 series family thanks to its 16-core and 32-thread combo.
As for GPU, the selection of Radeon RX 7800XT/7700XT/7600XT is Team Red’s best offering when it comes to gaming at 1440p and 1080p resolution with its generous amount of VRAM providing more flexibility when it comes to tuning up some of the graphical settings such as texture qualities.
Lastly, if you want gaming laptops instead, the Ryzen AI 300 series powered Lenovo Yoga 7 Pro and ROG Zephyrus G16 come with 50 TOPS of NPU performance that meets the Copilot+ CP requirement set by Microsoft, allowing users to experience different levels of AIs through these next-gen laptops.
