BEST SELLERS

In Desktop CPU Processor

Runs very well. Some games had a higher than expected FPS boost.

6 physical cores, 12 threads, almost 40 mb of total cache, can boost to high speeds, 65 tiny watts, stays cool, installation easy, runs any game i throw at it beutifully, handles my workload better than the i7 I was running at a much lower cost, love the utilities and tools specifically for ryzen cpus in general and their ease of use, Value is unmatched there is no intel cpu with the same or nearly the same features and price point, shamelessly gonna yet again bring up the price to performance because its honestly mindblowing

It was cost friendly upgrade that allows upgrades to the newest AM4 chip.

- Very stable performance - 1% lows in games are quite good - Runs cool during gameplay

- CPU runs so far pretty good. Originally I had chosen 9950X but that had some issues. I switched to this CPU when it was in stock again. - The 8-core, 16-thread configuration ensures top-notch multi-core performance - It handles demanding tasks easily - Excellent single-core performance for both gaming and everyday applications - Efficient power consumption without compromising on performance - Supports PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 ram

- Better then 9950X in production - Fast in gaming beating i9 14900K

-Boosts to 5.2ghz

Very versatile, very fast, easily cooled

- Powerful - Fast - Easy install

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.

No problem keeping the thermals in range with a quiet Noctua cooler.

- It's not AMD - Biggest pro right there! - Fast - Runs cool - In all the tests I see it appears that the 256K is the absolute best value...more below.

Great performance to cost ratio!

I bought it to built my new computer. So excited to show the final result on my IG page at @Retrogaming1991I even have Call of Duty as a bonus and this is sooo cool!

- 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.

Bought this to build a new VR rig and with a heavily OC'd RTX 2080ti I can't get the chip to go over 20% CPU usage. Incredible. Frametimes are in the 2-4ms range even with heavily modded Skyrim VR.

- Run well with no issue

Fast and efficient Handles undervolting and low tdp ( max 120v set) like a champ with no issues Benchmark scores across the board were withing 15pts of 14900k under s200 overclock

Fast, cool, power efficient chip that matches previous generation i9 performance, in flight simulator and a bunch of demanding games, for $100s less. Coupled with MSI MAG Mortar WiFi DDR4, 1TB Samsung 980 Pro (a key ingredient in the recipe/outcome I think), 4x8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR-2133/3200, Noctua-SE-224-XT (excellent cooler and another $$ bargain), and Gigabyte RTX 3060 12GB. I've been building rigs for flight simulator for 20 years but haven't done one since 2012. It went like this; new FS title released so of course you need a new build. Not rich, nor poor so had to meet in middle-to-higher tier equipment. A year or two later better equipment available at lower prices so you upgrade components and/or new build. Then new FS title comes out; wash, rinse, repeat. FSX had maxed out for me and so it fell to the wayside. I'd occasionally fire it up for a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. With FS2020 introduction I decided to wait a bit for all the bugs/patches (thank all you FS2020 test/guinea pigs!) and also wanted to do a budget build since the PC is really only used for this. Spent an entire weekend looking at reviews/tests of the i5 with Flight Simulator in particular, and a lot of other "latest, demanding" games. It is a Bargain Beast, particularly with titles that are more single thread dependent, which quite a few still are. FS 2020 scanned the system and recommended Ultra settings. With no FS tweaks and memory running at 2133, I was getting 30 fps departing London City, 40s down the Thames, and dip back 30 flying directly over Heathrow. On the low end of what you want, but totally acceptable/flyable. Smooth as glass. BIOS with XMP update was required to run memory at 3200, and after that the frames jumped to 40s as the base in dense/busy areas, and it's 60 fps everywhere else. CPU combined with rest of system has FS 2020 covered very well. The Samsung Pro 980 is doing 6937 MB/s sequential read and 5208 MB/s sequential write. Compare to a standard WD Blue SSD where maybe you're getting 450-500 MB/s. Absolutely nothing wrong with that drive I use them all the time, but we're talking 13 times faster so I wouldn't go less with M.2 for FS/gaming. Temps 32C idle, `55-60 at the most, under heavy load. Can't even hear the fan on the Noctua cooler. Spent a good deal of time researching this build and imagined it would do well, but it exceeded my expectations. I've never played CyberPunk but they say it's the latest, greatest demanding title. Check out this chip's performance against much more expensive and higher TDP ones in games like that. NewEgg got it, along with motherboard, to me very quickly and I couldn't be happier with the purchase.
