CPUs don't normally look very cool, even the biggest and best gaming processors you can buy. That's because the chips are hidden underneath a thick heat spreader or, in the case of laptops, totally covered by a big heatsink. So to get a look at what the processors actually look like, you usually have to rely on the chip makers providing images of them. Well, AMD decided it would do one better than that and literally just stick the raw CPUs in hour hands for us, and now you, to gaze at.
As you can see in the images above, the Ryzen 9 9950X sample looks very much like a, but that doesn't really matter. It's incredible to think that each CCD comprises billions of transistors, made on TSMC's N4 process node, which form 8 processing cores and 32MB of L3 cache. It's a bit of a shame that you can't quite see inside the chiplets but you could use your imagination or better still, just take a gander at the Strix Point sample we were given.
We're on the ground at Taiwan's biggest tech show to see what Nvidia, AMD, Intel, Asus, Gigabyte, MSI and more have to show.
