AMD Ryzen 5 9600X & Ryzen 7 9700X Offer Excellent Linux Performance Review

The AMD Ryzen 9000 series starting with the Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 7 9700X launching tomorrow are some truly great desktop processors. The generational uplift is very compelling, even in single-threaded Linux workloads shooting ahead of Intel’s 14th Gen Core competition, across nearly 400 benchmarks these new Zen 5 desktop CPUs impress, and these new Zen 5 desktop processors are priced competitively. I was already loving the Ryzen 7000 series performance on Linux with its AVX-512 implementation and performing so well across hundreds of different Linux workloads but now with the AMD Ryzen 9000 series, AMD is hitting it out of the ball park. That paired with the issues Intel is currently experiencing for the Intel Core 13th/14th Gen CPUs and the ~400 benchmark results makes this a home run for AMD on the desktop side with only some minor Linux caveats.

      I was thinking this too. However, Amd still has a much lower market share than Intel so I suspect they will use this to claw back as much as they can. If they manage to get into the 40-60% range, then I would expect them to start playing with raising prices.

      Alternatively they may release certain models at inflated prices to test the waters with increased pricing.

      This is an armchair analysis of course so take it with a grain of salt

        I didn’t think about that. Makes me wonder if that will be their plan for the 9800 X3D.

          Yeah maybe, they do have the fastest gaming processors, and most efficient workstation processors if you use the x3d for workstations.

          I hope not. I’ll likely be buying a bit of an upgrade in the next 6 months…
