Notes

The Ryzen 9 7950X features 16 cores and 32 threads built on Zen 4 architecture, delivering exceptional multi-threaded performance for professional workloads. Boosting up to 5.7 GHz with 80MB of cache, it excels in content creation, 3D rendering, video editing, and software development. While primarily productivity-focused, it offers strong gaming performance across all titles. Supports DDR5-5200 and PCIe 5.0, making it ideal for high-end workstation and enthusiast builds. This CPU competes at the flagship level, offering superior multi-core performance compared to Intel's Core i9-13900K, though the 7950X3D variant provides better gaming optimization.
