> 3 dayCompared to the 3900X, it runs slightly cooler, has a much higher burst, completes all single-threaded tasks approximately 25% faster, and completes all well-threaded tasks approximately 50% faster.

> 3 dayPretty decent handling and the temps aren’t too bad. Can run hot at times so want to make sure you have a decent amount of air flow.

Greater than one weekI used to care about my CPU usage. Why is svchost using 13% all the time? Why is TiWorker using 25%? Why is Taskmgr using 0% one second and 3% the next? What about all those Chrome tabs? Modern computers are such resource hogs!!

> 3 dayI feel this way for almost every computer part but tested this out on a single gaming/streaming pc just to get a huge frame drop when streaming. Better off getting a dual pc setup. I thought the high core count on this would be able to handle the workload even though i had a 3080 with it. This might work well for 144hz gamers but maintaining a 240 ballpark fps is impossible

> 3 dayPared this with a MSI MEG X570 ACE and found that I can do 4.5 all core stable (working on getting better cooling as heat from 16 cores needs to go somewhere). It beats the heck out of my Skylake X 10 core i9 in Cinebench. No it doesnt have 44 pcie lanes that the i9 has, but I never needed it anyway, just 32gigs ram, 2 NVME and a video card. If you are strictly gaming the 5900x should be enough, but throw in any content creation and the 5950xs 16 cores is beast mode for sure.

> 3 dayI love AMDs Ryzen 9 5950X. Unfortunately, Amazon has mislabeled the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G as the Ryzen 9 5950X. Maybe people wont notice? Thanks Amazon!

> 3 dayTruly epic. I love having this for running big unit test suites, compilations, video editing, and so on.

> 3 dayI bought this CPU in August 2021 to replace my 11 year old Intel 980X system. I have had other newer systems (though only 4~6 cores) since then. I tend to like to invest in a single main computer to get me quite a few years of solid performance so I can focus on other things other than constantly upgrading. My old system got me through 8 years still able to play the top of the line games with no real issues, but the last 2~3 I noticed the sluggishness kicking in. I was very happy with that life span and decided to focus on the same with this new build.

> 3 dayDefinitely overkill for just a gaming build, multi functional cpu and should be useful for years to come!
