LOWEST PRICE

In Desktop CPU Processor

I had a 5900x and got it on a sale but always wanted the 16/32 core 5950x since it was the best CPU AMD released for AM4. But it was always priced with too much inflated pricing. I got this 5900XT Jan 2026, 16/32, core CPU because it was priced right and had the full 16 cores I wanted. I got it because I decided to not buy into AM5 at the moment because of DDR5 pricing is so high, but I wanted some sort of an upgrade right now and I already have 64GB ram and a 7900XTX card. I am glad I bought it because I am pretty sure I got a cherry of a CPU. I used Ryzen master to do the curve optimizer testing and after 2 hours of it running it set all cores to -30 negative. I was a bit skeptical of this choice but ran with it and it has been 100% solid and stable and boost to 4975-5000Mhz. I left every setting alone in the bios and the AMD software set the bios up according to the tests it did when I ran the software. The only thing I setup myself was the DDR4 which is set to 3733Mhz with decent timings not the best but pretty decent. In Aida64 my latency when tested is about 57-59ns which is pretty good I think for a dual CCD CPU. I am happy with my choice so far. It does seem to be faster than my older 5900x 12/24 CPU in games mainly because it seems to hold the core clocks a lot longer and temps do not seem to affect it as much as on the older 5900x did.

-Locked 5ghz all core at 1.125v? Done - only being 7 points shy of a 5800x in Cinebench -PBO off + 85c TJMax (im on a stock cooler) + auto clock/voltage? 10 points shy of a 5800x -Can be undervolted, or over, while good and bad it has done 99 watts @ 1.25v and 5.2ghz -Apparently a 7600x without the iGPU, either way its the one to go for to start on AM5

Latest technology at a fair price. Running 30-35C in home office tower.

- close in performance to much more expensive CPUs - 18 (!) cores - matches AMD in gaming and handily beats in productivity

I thought I got the wrong one over the 9800x3d, but this thing is just as fast- and capable of so much more. I did get it on the doorbuster

65 watt but also 3.6ghz with 6 cores. Great price!

-Coming from a Core 2 Quad (Q6600) era processor, this is like hopping into a brand new formula 1 race car after sitting in your used economy car with 350K miles on it. (HUGE speed difference) -These chips have a slight advantage over the 4770K in terms of thermal management which is good for the overclocking community.

- Great gaming performance, assuming everything is configured properly in Windows - Relatively power efficient for being a high-end product - Can take advantage of V-Cache and higher clocks depending on the workload - Has some "overclocking" headroom using PBO curve optimizations - Stable with 4x16GB sticks of DDR5 6000Mhz G.SKILL Flare X5 CL32
