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

The final boss of desktop processors, today.

System: MSI Tomahawk B550 MB, 128 GB RAM, 2TB NVME SSD workstation - not a gaming rig. Unexpectedly required BIOS update to be happy with the RAM (May 2021) but afterwards runs smoothly. Overclocked CPU and RAM using MSI standard options. System has been chugging away on a CPU-heavy data analysis exercise for more than two days straight, running at <80C with an air-cooled system. Runs circles around an equivalently specd five-year-old XEON server-class machine (20 cores, 40 threads, 128 GB RAM) at my office.

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

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.

Its fast multi-core, its fast single core. Went from a 3900XT to this, and whoa, its a totally different level.

I have a week and a half with the processor and my pc shuts down when I am rendering

Wow, I am very surprised with the 5950x. It blew me away. I could hit 4.6 all core at 1.1V and I hit over 5.0ghz on Multiple cores !! Absolutely insane cpu ! I think this seller gave me a Golden Sample CPU so Im gonna give him love, he also got the CPU to me in 1 day. it was sealed, and box was in perfect shape. Yea I didnt like how overpriced the product was but Im going to let the seller slide on that one, the price is my only objection but besides that, the seller was great.

The processor is a beast in everything

A la espectativa de poder usarlo; cuando lo instale y lo use, pondré una reseña mas adecuada, pero por el momento todo bien.

Didnt read description had to wait for thermal paste CPU works for its purpose.
