AMD announced the prices for its newest line of flagship processors with the 7000X3D series, including the Ryzen 9 7950X3D which is a challenger to the Intel Core i9-13900K.
There are three variants of the 7000X3D processor whose prices have been announced, namely Ryzen 9 7950X3D, Ryzen 9 7900X3D and Ryzen 7 7800X3D. All three will be available on the market starting February 28 except for the new Ryzen 7 variant which will be available on April 6, and will be sold at USD 699, USD 599 and USD 449.
The highlight feature of these three processors is 3D V-Cache technology, which first appeared on the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, a processor that has received much praise. The hope is that the three new processors will also have convincing performance, especially because the number of cores is twice as large.
Actually, in terms of price, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D is more expensive than the Intel Core i9-13900K, the champion of the blue camp, with a fairly high price difference. But it should have higher performance because all of its cores have high speed, in contrast to Intel which "only" has 8 fast cores accompanied by 16 efficient cores.
AMD also promises that the gaming performance and productivity of its flagship processor will be higher than its rivals, we were quoted as saying from The Verge, Thursday (2/1/2023).

But it must be admitted, maybe what will sell better on the market is not the highest variant, but the Ryzen 9 7900X3D and Ryzen 7 7800X3D variants which are cheaper.
In terms of specifications, it is difficult to compare these two processors with those made by Intel, because Intel implements the big.LITTLE scheme which combines fast cores and power-saving cores, with 10nm fabrication. Meanwhile, AMD uses a conventional core with a 5nm process.
But in terms of price, it seems that the two processors are a match compared to the Core i9-13900K and Core i7-13799K.
The 7000X3D processor line requires a BIOS-updated AM5 motherboard. Oh yes, AMD also recommends using a powerful cooling system considering the heat generated is quite high. The recommended cooling system is an all in one watercooling cooler with a radiator measuring at least 280mm.
