Bought this from the 'rainforest (newegg wont let me say it), part number was off by one digit, qr code refused to scan so unable to verify on my end that it is authentic and text was oddly off and faded. The one from newegg had exact matching serial and parts number, qr code immediately work, and al the text and labeling were flawless. AMD support claims the 'rainforest' 9950x3d was genuine but it did not set well with me (attention to detail must be a requirement for items of this nature). CPU works with no issue and my roomate has a free cpu (and motherboard and ram cause i had to buy the bundle to get the cpu due to stock).

Solid, stable

Another quality product from Intel. I've seen several UTUB videos on speed comparisons, etc. Most reviewers use Gaming metrics and I'm not a gamer. With Win10 not being supported after Oct 14th and my current system at almost 10 years old, I just needed a refresh into Win11. It is fine for what I'm going to use it for and WAY faster than my previous build.


Exceptional multi-core performance makes it ideal for demanding tasks and workloads.

Cheaper than i9

This is easily the best cpu I've ever had Easy to cool with PBO on with just an efficient air cooler Very Fast and stable

Far better than previous gen Legit top end performance

I hit 45000 on cpu benchmark Huge difference compared to my old Ryzen5 5600g

it can hit 5GHz on all cores 8-core 16 thread with great gaming performance

Games well Low power usage Low heat generation

-Can finally run arc raiders at 60-80 frames


- Lightning Fast - Major Performance bump across the board - AV1 Codec for video editing - Still Air Cool-able
