I'm very happy with this CPU. It is my first time ever buying a brand new part immediately on release, and I am very pleased with my experience. It benchmarked @ 96th Percentile with the standard 'Auto Overclock' of +0.2GHz. (Yes this is an overclockable X3D chip!)

Excellent performance. I have had zero issues. It has lots of single and multi-core power and it will likely chew up and spit out anything you throw at it. I upgraded from the first gen 16 core threadripper that was struggling under DX12 ray tracing, and it was a huge upgrade for me.

Fast! You want fps? Buy this Never exceeds 77C under full load for over an hour stress test. NZXT KRAKEN cooler.

Upgraded to this from a Ryzen 5 2600 and let me tell you the difference is incredible. I have this in an Aorus build with a B450M and 1080 ti Extreme. Running with this processor has breathed new life into the 1080 ti at 1440p. Almost every game runs maxed out with at least 60FPS. Noticed substantial increases in Cyberpunk 2077 and Horizon Zero Dawn.

Seems to work just fine. Performance is great for the price

- Good performance in gaming - Good performance as workstation - Runs way cooler than previous generations (35 C idle, 60 C gaming) - Has an NPU - Price (at the time of review)

Processor does not have to work very hard. I run 1440p at 240Hz on a 7900xt and get consistently 240-250 FPS (I have the FPS capped in the game at 240) in COD BO6. Processor runs at about 60% capacity when gaming. I went from a 5900x and an Nvidia 3060 12gb.

Product was easy to install. Made an absolute difference in my machines performance.

Low Power consumption Awesome Temps Great IMC Powerful E Cores

1-Stable TDP, which means you don't need to buy expensive heat sinks. No need to put up with bad fan noise. 2-Sufficient performance, even when matched with INTEL B580, it is enough, and even has 8% performance left.

Faster than my old i7-7700k Faster at transferring to and from usb(or maybe that's the new mobo) Works fine with linux, no driver issues good speeds with grep, find, and other unix commands Seems good enough for gaming(with a gtx 1060, 32 GB of ram) Maybe this is down to the cooler and fan, but it's quiet.

Ela /ty for 32 gb ram :)


24 cores at this price in unreal. The other guys give you 6 and 8 cores for this price lol. Boots fast, and breezes through everything I throw at it without a hitch. Gaming and multi tasking are a dream. CPU runs very cool despite being a multicore beast. Compatible with my older AIO, no need for any adapters, just worked. New Intel APO and IBT features are cool, but hope they support them long term. Overclocks really, really well. I am running at E cores at 5.1Ghz, P cores at 5.6Ghz and D2D at 4.0Ghz, Cache at 4.1GHz, and NGU at 3.4Ghz. These are well above stock, and it has zero issues. Tuned my DRAM to 8667 CL38 and get huge bandwidth and low latency now.

- value to money is high - fast and handles all games and tasks

Fit like a glove into ASRock B450M/AC R2.0 AM4 AMD Promontory B450 SATA 6Gb/s Micro ATX AMD Motherboard Performs well - comes with some heat trasfer ... very quite fan ..


I had a 5900x and got it on a sale but always wanted the 16/32 core 5950x since it was the best CPU AMD released for AM4. But it was always priced with too much inflated pricing. I got this 5900XT Jan 2026, 16/32, core CPU because it was priced right and had the full 16 cores I wanted. I got it because I decided to not buy into AM5 at the moment because of DDR5 pricing is so high, but I wanted some sort of an upgrade right now and I already have 64GB ram and a 7900XTX card. I am glad I bought it because I am pretty sure I got a cherry of a CPU. I used Ryzen master to do the curve optimizer testing and after 2 hours of it running it set all cores to -30 negative. I was a bit skeptical of this choice but ran with it and it has been 100% solid and stable and boost to 4975-5000Mhz. I left every setting alone in the bios and the AMD software set the bios up according to the tests it did when I ran the software. The only thing I setup myself was the DDR4 which is set to 3733Mhz with decent timings not the best but pretty decent. In Aida64 my latency when tested is about 57-59ns which is pretty good I think for a dual CCD CPU. I am happy with my choice so far. It does seem to be faster than my older 5900x 12/24 CPU in games mainly because it seems to hold the core clocks a lot longer and temps do not seem to affect it as much as on the older 5900x did.


Zen3 65W 8 Cores + SMT. Same Mainboard, Great upgrade.
