Alongside the headline-making Ryzen 9950X3D, AMD also announced its less powerful sibling: the Ryzen 9 9900X3D with fewer cores and lower power draw. Regardless, the new CPU seems just as impressive as its older brother on paper, it’s sure to be a popular pick among many gamers and creators alike.
AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D Overview
Since we’ve already covered the top-of-the-line Ryzen 9 9950X3D, let’s talk about the major differentiating factors between the two. The Ryzen 9 9900X3D has fewer Zen 5 cores (12 vs 16) and slightly lower clock speeds compared to its pricier counterpart. It also draws less power at 120W and has slightly less amount of cache. Regardless, it’s still a good enough upgrade over its predecessor: the Ryzen 9 7900X3D with Zen 4 cores.
To be specific, the Ryzen 9 9900X3D has 12 cores with 24 threads in total, with a boost clock of up to 5.5 GHz. The TDP stays the same as its predecessor and so does the amount of cache (140Mb in total), but it’s using AMD’s 2nd gen V-cache technology under the hood. This means the cache is situated below the Core Complex Dies (CCDs) so the CPU can push higher frequencies without worrying about heat. This has resulted in better performance for X3D CPUs outside of pure gaming with these chips performing as well as their ‘X’ (Ryzen 9 9900X) counterparts on creative and productivity tasks.

AMD held a keynote at CES 2023, where the company had a bunch of exciting news to share, including the arrival of the first chiplet-based laptop chips, XDNA AI, and RDNA 3-based mobile GPUs. But what really took the cake were the new Ryzen 7000X3D V-Cache desktop chips. The newly announced CPUs are AMD’s first 3D V-Cached product since the inaugural Ryzen 5800X3D, and they are based on the Zen 4 architecture. So, let’s get into the specs, features, and price of AMD Ryzen 7000X3D processors in Nepal.
What is AMD 3D V-Cache technology?
Cache is a rather general term used to mean a hardware or a software feature used to store data temporarily. Each CPU has a dedicated space in the die for cache memory based on Static RAM. It is considerably faster than the main memory that uses Dynamic RAM. There are three levels of cache in between the CPU and RAM: L1, L2, and L3, and their speed differ based on their proximity to the CPU.
One limitation of the CPU cache is that chip makers can fit only a certain size of them in the die. In other words, the amount of cache memory is restricted by the size of the CPU die. And this is where the AMD 3D V-Cache comes in.
Instead of placing the cache horizontally, AMD has managed to create a 3D cache by stacking caches on top of one another with a bit of help from TSMC. This allows the processor to have a larger V-cache that can come in handy in demanding tasks like gaming.
The first Ryzen CPU with AMD 3D V-Cach, Ryzen 7 58000X3D, came out last year with a staggering 92MB of L3 cache. This additional cache allowed the chip to punch above its weight, even competing against the flagship Ryzen 5900X and Intel Core i9-12900K.
AMD Ryzen 7000X3D Desktop CPU Lineup
AMD has now brought the 3D vertical cache technology to its Ryzen 7000 series CPUs. There are currently three Ryzen 7000X3D SKUs: Ryzen 7950X3D, 7900X3D, and 7800X3D — all based on Zen 4 architecture and based on TSMC’s 5nm process.
At the high end, we have the new Ryzen 9 7950X3D, which is comparable to the regular 7950X. Like the regular SKU, Ryzen 9 7950X3D brings a 16-core CPU with Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT), DDR5 support, and a Turbo frequency of 5.7GHz. The biggest change, however, is the increase of the L3 cache from 64MB to 128MB. Interestingly, the official TDP is also lower at 120W. That said, the base frequency is 300MHz slower at 4.2GHz.
Ryzen 9 7950X3D
This trend of lower TDP and base frequency is also true for the Ryzen 9 7900X3D. It matches the 12C/24T count of the Ryzen 7900X as well as the 5.6GHz Turbo frequency but brings double the L3 cache at 128MB.
Ryzen 9 7800X3D
Finally, the third CPU in the 7000 series X3D family is the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. It is the only SKU in the new lineup to not have a direct regular 7000 counterpart. It is an octa-core CPU with 5.0GHz Turbo frequency and 96MB of vertical 3D V-Cache. So, in a way, it is a successor to the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, which was held down by its limited clock speed. As per the company, the new Ryzen 7 7800X3D can perform up to 30% better in DOTA at the high graphics preset.
AMD Ryzen 7000X3D Processors Price in Nepal
As of now, all three of the Ryzen 700X3D processors are available in Nepal. The first is the Ryzen 7800X3D which costs Rs. 70,000. Ryzen 9 7900X3D is a little expensive at Rs. 90,000. Then there is the Ryzen 9 7950X3D which is priced at Rs. 100,000. You can buy the Ryze 7000X3D processors from Hukut in Nepal.
During the CES 2022 keynote, NVIDIA announced the RTX 3050 budget graphics card for PC and it has launched in Nepal too. It is the cheapest entry in the RTX 30-series so far. In this article, we will be discussing the specs, features, price, and availability of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 graphics cards in Nepal.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Overview:
As with the other cards in this lineup, RTX 3050 is also built on the Ampere architecture. Thus, it comes equipped with NVIDIA’s second-gen RT cores for ray tracing, and third-gen Tensor cores for DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) upscaling.
RTX 3050 features a total of 2560 CUDA cores with a base clock of 1.55 GHz and a boost clock of 1.78 GHz. It has 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM and a 128-bit wide memory lane, while it also supports Resizable BAR.
NVIDIA claims that the RTX 3050 can handle 60fps gaming at 1080p resolution with ray tracing turned on. The company also compared it with the older GTX 10 (1050, 1050 Ti) and GTX 16-class (1650) graphics cards, where it outclassed them all. However, it is to be noted at the RTX 3050 has DLSS that the other cards don’t—which directly factors in on the higher fps count.
Moreover, the company is also promoting RTX 3050 as the cheapest way to get ray tracing and DLSS on your PC. It is being placed as a viable upgrade to the GTX cards, which the company says are still being used by 75% of gamers.

Intel announced the new 12th gen Alder Lake desktop processors back in October. The CPUs under this lineup are fabricated under a yet-again refined 10nm process called “Intel 7”. These processors are now starting to make their way into the Nepali market. So, let’s get into the specs, features, price, and availability of Intel 12th gen Alder Lake CPU in Nepal.
Intel 12th Gen Alder Lake CPU Overview:
Contrary to the previous generations, the Alder Lake CPUs from Intel feature a hybrid architecture. Intel has introduced two types of CPU cores: Efficient (or E-cores) for insignificant background activities and Performance (or P-cores) for demanding workloads.
Intel’s new-gen chips combine the power of high-performance and efficiency cores and are optimized for Windows 11 to yield improved performance. The company announced its high-performance K and KF series of processors in 2022, while the rest of the entries have just been announced at CES 2022.
Intel Alder Lake CPUs
If you don’t already know, the “F” suffix in these CPUs means they lack an integrated GPU. That is you need to pair them with discrete graphics for display output. Similarly, you can also notice the “K” suffix, the presence of which means that the particular CPU can be overclocked. Intel has even introduced processors with the T suffix with lower TDP than other SKUs.
Here, each processor has a number of performance cores (P-cores) and efficiency cores (E-cores). Starting with the i9-12900K, it has a total of 16-cores (8 P-cores, 8 E-cores) and 24 threads and can reach a clock speed of up to 5.2GHz using Intel’s Turbo Boost Max 3.0 technology. Intel promises a 19% performance boost in comparison to its 11th gen CPUs.
Similarly, the i7-12700K has 12 cores (8 P-cores, 4 E-cores) and 20 threads while the i5-12600K has a total of 10 cores (6 P-cores, 4 E-cores) and 16 threads. These CPUs are also available in the aforementioned “KF”.
Besides this, these processors offer up to 20 PCIe lanes (16 PCIe 5.0 + 4 PCIe 4.0), support for DDR5 memory at up to 4800MT/s (along with older DDR4 support at 3200MT/s), and larger L3 and L2 cache sizes.
Alongside the 12th gen CPUs, Intel has also announced the new 600 series chipset. Alder Lake uses the new LGA 1700 socket (replacing LGA 1200) and therefore requires a new motherboard. Here, if you’re looking for the most capable chipset to overclock the new CPUs, then MSI, Asus, Gigabyte, and other manufacturers have already announced Z690-based motherboards.
Redefining power usage
Intel is also altering how it defines power usage in its CPUs. Since the turbo mode demands more power, Intel’s current basic TDP can’t reflect this. As a result, the 12th gen CPUs will have Processor Base Power (Base) and Maximum Turbo Power (Turbo) measures.
For instance, the i9-12900K’s Performance Base Power is set at 125W, while the Turbo Power is 241W. This means that systems employing this CPU will be able to boost up to 241W of power. For reference, the consumption of “K” and “KF” chips is shown below.

Intel 12th Gen Alder Lake CPU Price in Nepal
The price of 12th Gen Intel “Alder Lake” desktop processors ranges from Rs. 14,000 to Rs. 70,000 in Nepal. Currently, the cheapest option is the Core i3-13100F whereas we have the Core i9-13900KS on the opposite spectrum. You can buy 12th Gen Intel CPUs from Hukut in Nepal.
DJI, the highly recognized Chinese company in drone industry, has released a pro version drone of its Phantom 4 edition on November 15th 2016. The company also released Inspire 2 which is its fourth new release in last two months. Looking at its pace of releasing products, DJI seems to be in competition with no other drone makers but itself.
DJI Phantom 4 Pro Overview
Design
DJI Phantom 4 pro isn’t a new revolutionary drone but an update to its predecessor Phantom 4 which came out just eight months ago. With that being said, Phantom 4 pro has a lot more to offer than any previously released Phantom units. As compared to Phantom 4, the Pro houses a better camera, more advanced (360 degrees) obstacle avoidance, greater battery life, and additional intelligent flight modes. With its release, Phantom line has become stronger as compared to the new Mavic pro which is still the smallest, most portable and cheapest among the newly released drones from DJI.
DJI Phantom 4 Pro
Camera
Digging out the specs, DJI Phantom 4 pro has a better camera with the mechanical shutter that will supposedly avoid Jell-O-like shake in the footage caused from rolling shutter effect while filming quick pans or chasing fast moving subjects. It has a 1-inch CMOS sensor that shoots 20 megapixels still and can capture upto 11.6 stops of dynamic range. In burst mode, pictures can be taken at speed of 14 photos per second. The camera is capable of taking 4k videos at 60 frames per second. The drone supports micro SD cards upto 128GB that has to be of class 10 or UHS – 1 rating.
Key features of DJI Phantom 4Pro
Unlike the DJI Phantom 4 and Mavic Pro which had obstacle avoidance system that worked only while moving forward, the Phantom 4 pro has sensors on all four sides, meaning the drone can sense and avoid obstacles while moving in any direction. 31mph is the new top speed while in obstacle avoidance mode which is a remarkable bump as compared to old 22mph. Keep that in mind, 31 mph is top speed in p-mode and the drone can hit a max speed of 45 mph in sports mode.
Battery and Rest
With the new battery capacity of 5870 mAh, the battery life has got an upgrade too and the aircraft will give an approximate flight time of 30 Minutes. That is 20% of increment as compared to 25 minutes flight time of Phantom 4.
Phantom 4 Pro’s Controller with inbuilt screen
The remote controller has the control range of 4.3*miles transmitting HD output and intelligently switches between 2.4Ghz or 5.8 Ghz choosing the one with the lowest interference at the time of starting the drone . The controller can have an inbuilt display of 5.5-inch screen with a resolution of 1920*1080. The inbuilt display device has 4GB RAM and 16 GB ROM.The Phantom 4Pro costs $1,499 with the regular controller without the display. If you want to save your phone’s or tablet’s juice and opt for a controller with a built-in screen that will get you to pay for an additional pay of $300 making the total price of the unit to be $1,799.
