I am profoundly confused by AMD Ryzen naming conventions.
I understand the first digit typically relates to the generation? So a Ryzen 9800X is newer than a Ryzen 7950X3D, which is newer than a Ryzen 4750G? But unless I’m mistaken, this naming conventions skips generations — I don’t believe there’s a Ryzen 8xxx series?
The second digit is where I get really confused. I thought I understood that it indicated which Ryzen line it belongs to (5, 7, 9). I think that held true with the last Ryzen CPU I owned — a 4750G. But then I see Ryzen 9800X, and I don’t think there’s such a thing as a Ryzen 8?
The third digit seems more straightforwardly arbitrary — a 7950 is probably just a bit faster or more optimized for gaming than a 7900 I guess?
I have no idea what the “X” indicates.
“3D” at the end indicates 3d cache — finally, something straightforward and consistent, right?
