AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-core, 32-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor

The processor is a beast in everything

Definitely overkill for just a gaming build, multi functional cpu and should be useful for years to come!

Compared to the 3900X, it runs slightly cooler, has a much higher burst, completes all single-threaded tasks approximately 25% faster, and completes all well-threaded tasks approximately 50% faster.

It’s a beast. Watch your PCIe settings in BIOS though. On initial AMD 5,000 series installs, I’ve been getting the VGA light. (X570 & B550 boards). This has happened to me a few times now. It’s only on new builds. The fix is to put the old cpu in and change the PCIe setting in BIOS.

This thing is a beast!!

Worth the cost

I was upgrading from an old Ryzen 5 I bout three or four years ago, and this was right on the money. I honestly couldnt ask for better.

Best CPU in the world right now. As for creator and gamer like me its THE BEST one!

i was not expecting the difference to be like this since 3700x is a great and powerful CPU, after the upgrade, my PC is alot more responsive and games are smoother, sometimes in specific locations in games there was just a bit of stuttering due to the 1% lows with the 3700X, with this one, there is none, im very happy with this upgrade. considering the price now, if you can afford it, then buy it, nothing is called overkill and future proof!!
