Was a decent price 12/24 cores that can go above 5ghz boosted

Passmark CPU went from 8,000 to almost 20,000 (1400 to 5500 Ryzen) Getting about 15-20% more out of my GPU (typically +20fps on most games) Stock cooler better than i expected in terms of size and quality CPU upgrade will extend my current PC for another 2 years before going AM5 $99 wow


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.

- Socket AM5 installation is nerve-wracking, but simple. - Fast base clock with easy overclocking options if you have a strong enough cooler to handle the temps. - Rips through even the most graphically demanding games.

Very energy efficient

I had no problem installing into my pc.

It's an expensive CPU. The 9800X3D is still and excellent choice. Since I was upgrading from a 32 core 13900K I did not want to lose out on the productivity performance so that is why I chose the 9950X3D.

Good price/performance. Using it for a recording studio and so far it shrugs off anything I can throw at it. Very please.

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.

Does everything as 5800x but faster thanks to higher clock speed, Zen 4 tech and DDR5 speed.

a bit snappier than the older ryzen 7 5700x i had.

I needed a Windows 11 compatible machine. So, I decided to go Intel. I purchased this processor for my ASUS Prime Z690-P MOBO. I am very pleased with the final build. I am not a gamer and I don't OC so I can't address performance data. 5-Stars

Best processor gaming

pros one of the best cpus around, great for fps and multitasking.

Speed Price Ease of installation

Easy to install Thermals out of the box are good. Without overclocking Cinebench score of 39,303 multi-core, 2,229 single core, with a 17.63 MP Ratio.

- it's price per performance is good - handles all the games I've thrown at it

- Minesweep literally looks real now. - I'm heating my office without even turning on my furnace. - My emails are received before I even click "send". - I can now open over 37 tabs in Chrome, simultaneously
