Pros

Amd ryzen 9 3950x is a flamethrower with an insane amount of power. It runs hot so be sure to have high end cooling, it outperforms some threadripper bins, if you want to have the best there is well at this point in time here it is. I run it at 3800mh...  Read More

It stands alone, defiant. The processor operates at 4. Worth it. This one is still a bit pricey, but not complaining.

This is a great cpu if you're doing a lot of heavy lift work. It also has tons of bandwidth to pcie devices. Not a gaming oriented processor, but obviously still does it quite well. Great for vms as well as streaming from 1 cpu at the same time.

Have not seen any throttling, even when running large hadron collider software (via boinc) with 95% cpu utilization for days at a time. A 30-way clean build finishes in 3. Hours. It is expensive, but fast.

The only flaw, and downside to these amd ryzen processors is the x570 motherboards. Great processor, amazing price and amazing performance. Outstanding beast of a processor. Best processor ever for the price. This cpu is a beast.

Don’t even try to air cool even with the best air cooler at oc custom loop is 100 recommended


That is because it was built with quality components

Price

It runs cool and it runs fast more than fast enough for most people


Any multithreaded workload is just bonkers fast and lightly threaded ones are also significantly faster

Competitiveness


I can game stream it and encode various side video projects when paired with a 280mm aio cooler and leave it on stock speeds wi...  Read More


Might have to try stepping up from a 280mm aio to a 360mm aio or full custom loop to see if i can keep higher all core speeds longer


The best binned chips from the amd ryzen 3000 series for desktop users


They just do not make sense for the price compared to what you get with amds lineup

    If you arent doing workstation tasks you may be better off with the 3900x and putting the difference into other components


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If you turn the resolution down to 1440p framerates go over 100 fps
