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

I upgraded from a 7700K. The last of intel’s “we have no competition, therefore we are going to remain complacent” processors. I bought this after the launch of the 5800X3D and chose it, because I have a GPU bottleneck and could probably use the extra cores going into the future. The 12900K absolutely has better single core performance, but the two things that made me choose 5950X, the fact that I fell victim to intel’s complacency. Second, the longevity and performance gains of the AM4 socket from Ryzen 1XXX to Ryzen 5XXX. I’m running this alongside a 3080Ti in a meshlicious package and I couldn’t be happier.

This is nice budget threadripper. I managed to get a cpu that that can get to 5.1 ghz single thread with the right cooling of course. Just do not expect the speed to stay that fast ie runs that fast for a few secs.

Perfect for Content Creation/ Gaming @1080p240, Video Editing and Making Thumbnails in Photoshop. It’s a Behemoth of a CPU. 16C/32T Goodness ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

One of AMDs most impressive CPUs to date

Cant tell if its used because the box is messed up.

The final boss of desktop processors, today.

Very satisfied

This this can handle anything you throw at it. Highly recommend an aio as this CPU runs very hot especially when boosted. Little more on the expensive of side but PC parts across the board right now have been getting a lot cheaper since 2020-2021.

Happy was able to get at MSRP

Truly epic. I love having this for running big unit test suites, compilations, video editing, and so on.
