AMDs latest Ryzen 9000 series desktop CPUs are here, and they are better than ever. The new lineup, for now, includes four SKUs; the Ryzen 5 9600X, Ryzen 7 9700X, Ryzen 9 9900X, and the Ryzen 9 9950X, covering the three main categories of budget, mid-tier, and high-performance chips. These new CPUs come with a host of improvements over the previous generation, including the newer and more efficient Zen 5 architecture.
