AMD announced a new chapter in gaming at a special event in China. The company launched its new AMD Ryzen 9000 X3D series processors, aiming to fundamentally change the esports scene, as “1,000 FPS processors.” This move goes beyond a mere processor launch; it demonstrates AMD’s vision of creating a holistic ecosystem for competitive gaming.
AMD Ryzen 9000 X3D Performance Pushed to the Limits: 1,000 FPS Target
According to AMD’s announcement, AMD Ryzen 9000 X3D processors featuring next-generation 3D V-Cache technology achieve incredible performance when paired with a high-end graphics card. They are reportedly capable of reaching record-breaking 1,000 frames per second (FPS) in popular esports games like Counter-Strike 2, Valorant, League of Legends, PUBG, and Naraka: Bladepoint. This means absolute fluidity and minimal lag, especially for professional gamers when milliseconds are crucial.
AMD has taken the most significant step in supporting this ambitious FPS target on the hardware side. The company recently announced a strategic partnership with Chinese company AntGamer, announcing the development of a gaming monitor with a 1,000Hz refresh rate capable of displaying the high frame rates produced by these processors.
- Release Date: Scheduled for release in 2026.
- Technology: The monitor, which will feature a TN panel, will maximize image clarity with technologies such as “Local Dimming” and “Black Frame Insertion.”
- Resolution: This record-breaking refresh rate will likely be achieved at 1080p resolution.
Considering that the highest refresh rate available for end-users in the monitor market is currently around 750Hz, it’s clear how revolutionary AMD and AntGamer’s 1,000Hz goal is.
The power behind this performance is AMD’s latest X3D processors:
- AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D: This flagship model of the family comes with a 16-core/32-thread architecture. It stands out with its clock speed of up to 5.7 GHz, a massive 144 MB total cache (L3 + L2 + 3D V-Cache), and a TDP of 170W.
- AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D: This model, with a TDP of 120W, offers 140 MB cache and a maximum clock speed of up to 5.5 GHz.
According to benchmarks shared by AMD, the flagship 9950X3D delivers an 8% performance increase over the previous generation’s most powerful 7950X3D and up to 20% performance increase over its rival, the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K. These results prove that AMD has further consolidated its leadership in gaming performance.
