AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-core, 32-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor

Be careful, I had to return a version of this because I eagerly clicked to buy the little icon for Adorama - even though its posting on the 5950x, its selling the 3950x.

This thing is a beast!!

Been using this for about a month. I enjoy gaming, photography, and videography. This has been a champ for all my wants and needs. Games are running buttery smooth at 1080p and editing/processing is a breeze. It chews through so much and has yet to complain at all. Will be testing at 4K when the new monitor arrives.

Best AMD CPU for Gaming right now, plus content creation beast, with PciExpress 4.0 support.

only negative is pricing and how long it took me to get one..great for gaming greatly increased my fps..im really happy with it.

Let me start off by saying that AMD and Intel both have there ups and downs. You cant go wrong with either brand. But you WILL need to put in a tremendous amount of work if you want the most out of AMD!

I was weary of switching from Intel to AMD but the switch was seamless and did not even need to reinstall my OS

I bought this CPU in August 2021 to replace my 11 year old Intel 980X system. I have had other newer systems (though only 4~6 cores) since then. I tend to like to invest in a single main computer to get me quite a few years of solid performance so I can focus on other things other than constantly upgrading. My old system got me through 8 years still able to play the top of the line games with no real issues, but the last 2~3 I noticed the sluggishness kicking in. I was very happy with that life span and decided to focus on the same with this new build.

Programming my Rust and C++ code is so much faster now!

good cpu
