BEST SELLERS

In Desktop CPU Processor

Insane performance.

Respectable base clock rate Low operation temp. under heavy loads Easy install Excellent single core performance

- Runs very cool under load (62c in my system). - Excellent productivity performance. - Good gaming performance (Not x3d, but expected) - Smoother windows performance when compared to 5900x.

Cpu runs really smooth, easy install, no issues

super fast, workhorse of a cpu while maintaining decent temperatures at idle and under load.

- fast, does what it says it can do - easy to OC

Great and runs all my games better than my 9700k was.

Powerful, and not too much slower than 13900k, but much less expensive. Four extra e-cores compared to 13700k. Huge upgrade from my 3770k which I've been using since 2012.

Power usage is surprisingly low

Perfect for quiet PC powerhouse Same performance core count as 12900k Top 10 CPU for single thread benchmark

- Good performance - Relatively low cost

Got it on sale right after Microsoft announced the specs for the new MicroSoft FlightSim 2024. Since my recently built rig had everything for the top tier specs except for the Ryzen 9 processor, and since it was on sale, I couldn't pass it up. Installation was quick and easy, and it has worked flawlessly so far. My fps has increased significantly in MSFS2020. Looking forward to MSFS2024 release in November. I like the way AMD systems run so much cooler than Intel systems, with the newer architecture they run as fast as, if not faster, than the Intel systems when running the Flightsims.

Great value for the cost Older CPU, but still performs very well

- it's super fast, and does everything I need it to do when it comes to gaming, 3D modeling, multi-tasking, etc. for the price this was an amazing deal.

Great efficiency and speed. Great temps and solid as a rock!

Luckily I like spending time tweaking my CPU. My benchmark scores and framerates really did not go up until I dialed in a good Core Offset, tuned the memory beyond EXPO's auto settings, turned off Core Isolation in Windows, downloaded Win 11 update KB5041587. I have not tried Win11 24H2 yet, and I am not running this with any version of Linux. Compared to my 7950x, I have way more throw with the Core offset. I can dial in a Core Offset beyond -25 with the 9950x, whereas my 7950x gets fussy when I try a CO beyond -5. The 9950x also doesn't run as hot.

Fast Decent temps

Overkill for any sort of gaming but so are basically every CPU on the market atm. Good value for performance if you get it on a good sale like I did way under the price of its AMD competitors. Can be undervolted quite heavily and stay stable reducing power consumption and thermals way below what AMD runs at but reviewers are dumb and never do this for some reason despite knowing it's been a MOBO issue for years but blame the CPU. Can handle insane voltages/wattage if you really want to push the clock speeds and got the cooling for it.

-Super fast, coming from a 3700x, this is a superb upgrade. -Uses next gen DDR5. -Very tunable, have been using PBO and curve optimizer -30 and this thing screams! -Pins on the motherboard, not the CPU anymore, no more bent pins or CPU stuck to the cooler when removing it from the socket like on AM4!!

- Cooler than 7600X by default - Great performance (5GHz is crazy)
