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

System: MSI Tomahawk B550 MB, 128 GB RAM, 2TB NVME SSD workstation - not a gaming rig. Unexpectedly required BIOS update to be happy with the RAM (May 2021) but afterwards runs smoothly. Overclocked CPU and RAM using MSI standard options. System has been chugging away on a CPU-heavy data analysis exercise for more than two days straight, running at <80C with an air-cooled system. Runs circles around an equivalently specd five-year-old XEON server-class machine (20 cores, 40 threads, 128 GB RAM) at my office.

Finally arrived on the 18th day. Absolute beast. Latest bios update released the day I received it solved a memory issue which otherwise would have made this useless on Gigabyte X570 Ultra motherboard. Make sure you have atleast F31J bios on this motherboard installed with all the lastest software (Ryzen Master and Gigabyte utilites you use) before installing. If using Clock tuner Ryzen (CTR) disable and uninstall, not supported yet. Not sure how I got lucky to snag one but I did. Amazon shipped it from Brazil to fulfill the order. Slow, late but delivered so props to them. RX 6800 XT? Not much luck on that front.

My current PC came with a 12-core AMD 3900X with a base speed of 3.8 GHz and max clock speed of 4.6 GHz. This new 5950X has a base clock speed of 3.4 GHZ and max rated speed of 4.9 GHz.

YOU WOULD BE ON OOF THE FEW IF YOU FIND ONE FOR MSRP. OTHER WISE NO COMPLAINTS SO FAR

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.

the promotion game thing is scam you will spend 15 min filling out everything to claim it and you get sorry cant process at this time and that is the code has been used and you GET NOTHING. i call that fraud.

Pedí el modelo Ryzen 9 5950X, me llegó el modelo 5900X; pero con una etiqueta pegada encima que decía ser 5950X!!

This thing is a beast!!

This is a beast of a CPU

i bought second time.
