Acer is returning to the mini PC market with a new compact desktop computer that weighs just 700 grams (1.54 pounds) and has a volume of 0.75 liters. But thanks to an Intel Lunar Lake processor with Intel Arc integrated graphics, the new Acer Revo Box AI (RB102-LNL) should pack the power of a decent […]

Acer introduced its first handheld gaming PC a few months ago, and while the Acer Nitro Blaze 7 has yet to actually go on sale, the company is already expanding the Nitro Blaze family with two new models sporting the same 35+ watt AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS processor used in the Nitro Blaze 7. The […]

A year and a half after launching the AMD Ryzen Z1 line of processors designed specifically for handheld gaming PCs, AMD is back for round two. And this time the company is introducing three chips rather than two. As expected, the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is the new flagship. It’s an 8-core, 16-thread processor with support for CPU speeds up […]

AMD's batch of CES announcements this year includes just two new products for desktop PC users: the new Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 9900X3D. Both will be available at some point in the first quarter of 2025.

Both processors include additional CPU cores compared to the 9800X3D that launched in November. The 9900X3D includes 12 Zen 5 CPU cores with a maximum clock speed of 5.5 GHz, and the 9950X3D includes 16 cores with a maximum clock speed of 5.7 GHz. Both include 64MB of extra L3 cache compared to the regular 9900X and 9950X, for a total cache of 144MB and 140MB, respectively; games in particular tend to benefit disproportionately from this extra cache memory.

But the 9950X3D and 9900X3D aren't being targeted at people who build PCs primarily to game—the company says their game performance is usually within 1 percent of the 9800X3D. These processors are for people who want peak game performance when they're playing something but also need lots of CPU cores for chewing on CPU-heavy workloads during the workday.
