AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-core, 24-thread unlocked desktop processor with Wraith Prism LED Cooler

I learned something with this processor : at 7nm lithography, there is not enough surface area on the CPU die to properly cool it and cooling has become the primary issue with increasing density.

I upgraded from an i7-3770 so take everything I say from that perspective. Any modern processor would seem fast. However, writing this reminds me of when I was upgraded from a Pentium 4 to a Core i7 at work. The difference is that stark, tasks that were taking overnight on my old system are finished within seconds now. This was worth everything I paid for it. To be clear, I am a freelance software/game developer/database consultant, so I needed the cores and was really overloading my old system. But I have literally saved days of down-time when I was unproductive because my computer was tied up working on a compile, render, or database operation. For me, time is money, so this is well on its way to being paid for.

This processor is great, I am currently using it on an MSI B450 Tomahawk Motherboard and have not had any problems with stability or performance. if you are on the fence buying this and then thinking you have to buy an expensive motherboard dont worry you dont have too unless you need PCIe 4.0 support.

Awesome packaging and setup.

Core i7-7700とRX5700の環境でApex Legendsで144fps安定して出てくれなかったので(平均120fpsくらい)変えました。 メモリ、ストレージ等はそのままでCPUクーラーだけ忍者五にしています。

第2世代Ryzenからずっと気になってはいたものの、アプリ側の対応や動作の安定性等々の不安からなかなか踏ん切りが付きませんでした。ただ、それ以上に第3世代ZEN2の進化が凄すぎて、時代を感じたい衝動から購入しました。

Switched from intel to AMD and i think its a wise choice for me as my budget is tight.

Awesome CPU, but buy from another retailer. Terrible experience with support.

Works great easy setup

Bin von einem Ryzen 7 1700 umgestiegen und hatte eigentlich zuerst den Ryzen 7 3700X im Blick.
