Monster CPU with a monster price and monster heat/consumption.
The perfect CPU for a monster PC.Pros:- Gaming performance is nearly identical to the gaming-specific 9800x3D.- Productivity workloads about 75% faster than the 9800x3D on average.- PBO works extremely well. +200 is absolutely no problem for this chip.- Even in certain gaming scenarios unrelated to actual gameplay, there is a noticeable uplift. (e.g. shader builds)Cons:- This CPU is not cheap. If you don’t have too many productivity workloads and strictly use for casual workloads, web browsing and heavy gaming, go with the 9800x3D for $250 less.- This CPU runs hot. Compared to the 9800x3D which ran comparatively cool, this CPU idles around 49-53C, and under full load, can reach as hot as 78C on a 360mm AIO (Liquid Freezer III). Gaming temps are very reasonable around 60-65C.- This CPU consumes more power than the 9800x3D. Under full load, I’ve seen power consumption in excess of 240W for spikes, and draws 40-45W even when idle, compared to the 9800x3D which drew 145W with PBO OC under load and 20-25W idling.Even though it consumes a ton of power, it still consumes far less than the 14-series high-end Intel chips with superior gaming performance to boot. Intel does still hold a slight edge when it comes to productivity workloads at a slightly lower price.For those who are building a monster PC that will be used for gaming and productivity, there is no other AMD choice (other than the 9800x3D).

Best AMD 16-core AM5 CPU for gaming enthusiasts!
I was very fortunate that I was able to buy AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D for $699.99. Of course, I have to pay sales tax afterwards. But the reason why I had decided to move over from Intel Core i9-14900KS to AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D was because there are more reports that people are having system stability issue which can cause serious BSOD error. I’ve tested it myself and I can confirm that I was able to reproduce BSOD error which really drives me mad and I hate have to deal with crash, even though this was updated & flashed with the latest BIOS update. Yes, I use ASUS ROG Maximus Apex Encore Z790 Motherboard. I was very disappointed, and I even set to default settings in the BIOS, and yet my system can still crash at anytime, whether I’m browsing, gaming, and/or editing videos. Therefore, I have decided to move to AMD CPU which I’m very glad it’s working no problem. I also bought MSI MEG Godlike X870E Motherboard and had to download and update the latest BIOS from MSI website. Your mileage will vary and will always depend on your motherboard vendor.Other than that, I’m very happy with my purchase and I’m also glad that I get zero crash whatsoever. Performance was excellent, easy to overclock via PBO (Precision Boost Overdrive), supports AVX, AVX2, AVX-512 instruction-set extension, you can play around with thermal throttle temperature limit to prevent CPU overheating which I usually set to 70 degrees Celsius, very easy to install, noise level is not loud, as long as you have proper cooling solution which I use Noctua NH-D15 G2 LBC. Of course, you will need to apply thermal paste to have good contact between IHS and cooler heatsink.All in all, I’m very happy with my purchase and this was by far the best opportunity to move over from Intel to AMD platform which I understand why the vast majority of customers don’t want to spend money on Intel due to the fact that their CPU and microcode was very unstable, not reliable, nor it didn’t meet customer’s expectation! Nevertheless, AMD is the new king and yet it’s no wonder why there’s very high for Ryzen 9 9950X3D 16-core CPU for both gaming and content creation!

Windows in Beast mode
I game while recording with 20 browsers open while my wife’s suspended windows session has Photoshop launched. Video rendering speeds is 4x faster than my I9-9900k I upgraded from. I gained 30FPS in 4k with the same video card (rx 7900xt) Just a beast of a cpu, and I haven’t had it go a degree above 72C with the arctic freezer 3 aio.Very satisfied with this product. It games better than the 9800X3D because it has plenty of cores to handle Windows background tasks and other things we leave open when gaming. This beast compensates for Windows turtling with sheer Core count

Reçu mon Ryzen 9 9950X3D, et c’est une pure merveille. Les performances sont impressionnantes, que ce soit en jeu ou pour la 3D, il envoie vraiment du lourd.Petite anecdote : j’ai eu de la chance de le retrouver chez mes voisins, car le processeur était livré dans un petit pochon sans nom ni adresse… heureusement tout est rentré dans l’ordre ! Une fois installé, ça tourne parfaitement, silencieux et ultra rapide.

昨今の重いゲームやクリエイティブに対応できるようにと導入しましたが良いですマザーボード等をケチったせいかベンチのスコアは少し低めだったので、これから組む方でスペックを最大限に出したい方は奮発してあげてください
