AMD Ryzen 9 7950X 16-Core, 32-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor

Once I got past the problem of Amazon sending me an AMD CPU box that had the actual CPU stolen out of it, I finally got ahold of this monster and replaced an elderly Skylake build. Let me tell you, Zen 4 CPUs are... incredible. It's just jaw-dropping how much these pure 16-core/32-thread beasts can do, especially with a proper PBO configuration. Unlike the current-gen Intel consumer parts, which seem to be focusing on packing in weird "efficiency" cores and uneven performance curves, a 7950X delivers consistent, constant, gargantuan throughput across all 32 threads. I've done everything from gaming under Proton/WINE, language model merging/inference/quantization, and software development on this system in the 3 months I've had it. The 7950X has never stopped impressing me with how *incredibly* potent it is. There are workloads I used to rent AWS compute instances (at almost $2/hr!) to run, and I can take care of them in minutes on my home machine now. And gaming? Pfft! ZERO problems. Turn everything up to Ultra. I'm not going to have to think about CPU power for another 5 or 6 years, easy. I was an AMD fanboy going back to the AMD 386-20, and I've owned more AMD CPUs than Intel over the decades. But the last time I owned an AMD CPU was in the mid-2000s, an Athlon FX-57 (the last, fastest, single-core Athlon 64). Ever since then, I've been waiting for AMD to ship a "good" architecture. That finally came with Zen 3, but by the time I was ready to buy... Zen 4 was here. And BOY AM I GLAD IT IS. Long story short: if you're even *thinking* about buying the best of the consumer Zen 4 CPUs, you found it. BTW, this is the better of them, between this one and the "3D" one, for applications that are going to stress all the cores simultaneously. The way the 3D thing works looks a little bit faster on benchmarks, but when you are really putting the thing to the test, you'll be glad you went with the real thing.

I built my PC for editing, 3D creation and light gaming. This processor handles very well. I must say I would recommend liquid cooling for this chip. Top notch, I'm satisfied!

I know that in a few short years my "fast" system will eventually become a paper weight, but for right now, this is the best you can get short of the very newest intel chips. Before this I had a Ryzen 5700x, which was a solid processor, but it it's dog slow compared to this. 16 cores and 32 threads mean I can be copying files over the network, be installing dual scans on my hard drive for viruses, and playing games on my computer, all at the same time. Boot is twice as fast, and all my applications load fast and windows 11 is actually snappy and a breeze to work with. Not only that, but the advertised 4.6 ghz rating on the chip is misleading because if you are doing any kind of multithreaded application, the chip stays at around 5.2ghz. The main issue with this chip is the supposed heat range being high compared to other chips, but I've been gaming for a while and haven't hit the "optimal" temperature for the chip yet at 95 degrees centigrade. Having said that, I threw a darkrock 4 cooler on it, and it seems to be working just fine. I go with air coolers if I can, and having a GOOD cpu cooler is pretty much mandatory. Here. Let's put it this way: This computer will heat your room during winter. All in all I am very happy with the performance, and the price is reasonable.

This is an excellent multicore processor with caveats. There are numerous reviews of this processor on the web so I'll just give my thoughts on it. The biggest caveat is the heat. This chip gets hot and without a good cooling solution the chip will hit 95 Celsius very quickly. For cooling I went with a 420 aio and it keeps the cpu in the 60 to 80 Celsius range. I game mostly but with enough productivity to make a 3d v cache not the best solution for my needs. I game on a widescreen so my resolution is more GPU bound anyway. For gaming this processor works just fine, I've had no issues or complaints about performance. My GPU is a 4080 so it pairs well with this level of cores and threads. My only other observation is it's not a quiet pc solution. To keep it cool the fans really have to ramp up so if that's a bother then you might not like this processor. For a good beast of a processor I highly recommend it.

She's a monster! What else can I say? 16C/32T with an LGA design simplifying installation, and includes an IGPU. It's never struggled on anything I've fed this CPU and scores quite high in the synthetics. I'm able to keep the temperatures under control with some tuning, BIOS updates, and an air cooler that is made from the skin of a magic unicorn, and under full load, it still doesn't hit its thermal limit of 95C. It's not an X3D chip, but that's not what I wanted. This CPU should handle anything the average consumer can do during work or play without a problem, and was priced right. It hangs quite nicely with the 9950X and makes that upgrade from this CPU not even compelling unless you are coming from something much older. Power efficiency seems to be there, and it shuts up quite nicely at idle and throttles down a lot when not in use making for leaps and bounds in energy efficiency compared to older CPU's. You'll get a LOT of performance for your dollar if you get this 7950X

Love my Ryzen. Strong as an ox, handles whatever I throw T it with ease

Awesome cpu, very fast, easy to install

super fast , runs hot ( 89 C ) on full load , but this is with an air cooler.. might need to install a liquid rad ..but is great for what i am doing

Excellent

Processador excelente.. e entrega rapidíssimo.

Exelente. As I expected and then some. Start up on 22 Sept with out a problem. Cinibench over 37000. I will update later if I have issues. Motherboard Asus ROG Asrix X670E-E, Video Sapphire RX 7900 XTX
