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

Make sure you cool this thing well, they like to run warm out of the box at 105W. That being said..My 2 year old Gigabyte Aorus B450 Elite with 64GB of 2667-DDR4 running a Ryzen 7 2700 (8-core 16-thread) assembled genomes at 50% of the speed using the number cores against my Gigabyte Aorus X570 Pro Wi-Fi with 128GB DDR4 3600 running a Ryzen 9 5950x (16-cores 32-threads). Just goes to show how much faster the cores on the new processor are in conjunction with the high frequency memory and X570 board. So now that I have twice as many cores for bioinformatics, my assemblies will be 4X faster...Hot Dammm. You can now assemble a human genome at home, if so desired.

For anyone who not just games but also does productivity type work on their PC, I highly recommend it!!

Best processor for gaming out there

I upgraded from a 5800X, needed more cores for my workload. This thing is a beast!

This cpu will get the job done and then some. It can handle anything you throw at it.

A complete monster. You need a beast of a cooler to handle this CPU.

I got this one today and replaced my 3800x with this.

Idk what the warmth or thiccness is but this chip is MAD THICCC

Works well. Doesnt run as hot as I was expecting, but Im also running a 360mm AIO.

This is a great CPU, it’s too expensive through Amazon, which makes a lot of people try to get one of the cheap ones through unsavory sellers. I did at first, but it never arrived so I had to wait for a refund and just bought one shipped and sold from Amazon. It’s a great CPU, now if only I could get my hands in a GPU close to MSRP. I have the 5950x currently paired with a PNY RTX 3060 Revel, I get about 55-60fps playing Icarus on Ultra settings on a 1920x1080 monitor.
