Certainly, it is lower in overall price tag, but do not let that fool you. This might be considered one step down from the last CPU we just reviewed for you in some ways. Serious powerhouse AMD Processor for VR Gamers So, compare what you get with what it costs before making your mind up on this next processor from AMD. Just keep in mind that there is a $400 retail price difference. But we will leave the final judgment in that aspect up to you. Next up, is supposed to be a slight step down. All these stats apply directly to it being a great CPU for Virtual Reality systems of all kinds. It beats it out in benchmarks for all three stats in 3D rendering, Video Encoding, and Memory Bandwidth. Plus, for all the power you get, the Ryzen 9 3950X blows Intel Core i9 out of the water. Having the choice makes up for the sacrifice and can easily be remedied. But you always have the choice to go with the AIO route instead, which some consumers would prefer anyway. The biggest downside is that they sacrificed a Wrath Prism cooler for the extra ability. This gives you a total power of 4.7 GHz for all your VR CPU needs. But that is not all, it can boost another amazing 1.0 GHz. That is in part due to its 3.7 GHz CPU clock speed. When using a high-end VR headset on this CPU you can expect seamless transition and zero lag. This is exactly what is needed for a VR processor. With 16 Cores and a whopping 32 Threads, this beast of a chip chews through rendering even in 3D graphics. If the Intel i9-9900K is the Lambo of CPU’s, then the Ryzen 9 3950X is the Ferrari. It was built specifically to keep up with the multiple thread running requirements like that of VR systems. This powerhouse CPU from AMD is stunning in its Virtual Reality capabilities. Most powerful VR-Ready CPU from AMD Ryzen But our next CPU for VR operations gives it a run for its money. Built to keep up with the operational requirements of a Virtual Reality, this super-fast CPU is almost unbeatable. What this all adds up to is the perfect design for running the multi-thread loads created by VR Computers.
This means that under a full load, like when overclocked, it will run cooler and be easier to keep running. So, this is part of how this STIM hardware technology design allows for better heat transfer. The solder material fills the void between the die and the heat spreader/lid. Instead of the other top models on our list, this solder-based system allows for better heat dissipation. Speaking of cooling, Intel did – in a nod to those overclockers out there – add a solder based thermal interface material (STIM). That is without a cooling system and everything else needed to keep this kitten purring. This super speed makes it the perfect VR CPU and one of the best on the market.Īlthough you will have to pay for this supercar-like processor, ringing in at a cool $500 retail. However, it rates at about 4.7 GHz when all 8 Cores are being used. It rolls in at a cool 5 GHz speed when only one core is under load. This 8 Cores and 16 Threads Intel processor is like the Lamborghini of the CPU world.
