BEST SELLERS

In Desktop CPU Processor

- modern and cheap. - Zen 3 series - 6 cores - 12 threads. - low power requirement - totally usable for modern gaming

Overkill for most games. Doesn't run too hot from my experience.

Luckily I like spending time tweaking my CPU. My benchmark scores and framerates really did not go up until I dialed in a good Core Offset, tuned the memory beyond EXPO's auto settings, turned off Core Isolation in Windows, downloaded Win 11 update KB5041587. I have not tried Win11 24H2 yet, and I am not running this with any version of Linux. Compared to my 7950x, I have way more throw with the Core offset. I can dial in a Core Offset beyond -25 with the 9950x, whereas my 7950x gets fussy when I try a CO beyond -5. The 9950x also doesn't run as hot.

-Fast -3d L3 cache -Doesn't need a video card outside of gaming -Price

-Low power vs the previous generations -Both great gaming and multicore performance -Plenty of IO -Doesn't kill itself like raptor lake -Very tame voltages -Super responsive even vs raptor lake which on paper these should be about the same. -iGPU have av1 encoding so frees my actual gpu for other stuff -Stable and no strange bugs or issues

Super fast compared to the 5800 X I had . Was able to jump 30 FPS from the previous chip. Very pleased

super fast, workhorse of a cpu while maintaining decent temperatures at idle and under load.

- Extreme value vs competition in not only raw game performance but power consumption - Modern hardware has made these new product line launches a lot smoother, was an easy bios flash to a first boot into windows vs some of the mess of the initial Ryzen launch I remember with my 1700x

Fast, easy install, stable

nice and fast running on a Z690 ASUS hero

Its brand new, 8 cores 16 threads integrated graphics

Not only has my FPS and overall gaming performance improvedespecially in older titles like World of WarcraftI went against popular opinion and sold my underwhelming AMD system, upgrading to this one. I originally aimed for the 270K, but when it sold out, this model popped back in stock, and I decided to take the chance. I run multiple LLMs, game, stream, do light video editing, and experiment with AI and video generationbasically a little bit of everything. I already had a 5080 and 64GB of RAM, but wowthis machine is a beast. I was worried Id lose 1015% performance, and in some games I did lose about 5%, but what truly matters is that I can now use my PC however I wanteven while gaming. No more shutting down my LLMs just to play casually. The best part? My 1% lows jumped up massivelyby around 35% in MMOs. Thats far more important to me than raw FPS. No more micro-stutters, OBS crashes, or rubberbanding. I used to spend hours tweaking settings just to get games good enough to enjoyand I always felt I fell short. Im not claiming to be a hardware guru, just a hobbyist whos built PCs for over a decade (RIP 1080 Ti). Long story short: if youre chasing every last frame and dont care about AI, 1% lows, or multitasking, this is an incredible bargain at $200.

-Fast and furious -Gaming beast

Nice processor

High productivity with good power consumption. Plenty of cores/threads for gaming and productivity.

Fast cheaper same results as i9

Very fast cpu, Intel 200 boost puts it on par with the x3d CPUs at 4k 24 cores for demanding games and editing Low temps and power draw

Fast. I am happy. Purchased when marked down.
