AMD Ryzen™ 9 9950X3D Processor With 3D V-Cache™ Technology, 16 Cores/32 Threads, 144MB Cache, 170W TDP, AM5 Socket, Up To 5.7 GHz Boost Frequency, DDR5 & PCIe 5.0

The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D is an absolute beast of a processor—one of those rare components that instantly transforms a high‑end PC into something genuinely next‑level. Whether you’re gaming, streaming, editing, or running heavy workloads, this chip handles everything with ridiculous ease. The combination of 16 cores and 32 threads means multitasking feels effortless. You can render, encode, and game at the same time without the system even flinching. But the real magic comes from AMD’s 3D V‑Cache™ technology. The massive 144MB of total cache gives this CPU a huge advantage in gaming performance, delivering ultra‑smooth frame rates and lightning‑fast responsiveness even in the most demanding titles. Thermals and efficiency are impressive too. Despite its power, the 9950X3D runs cooler and more efficiently than you’d expect from a chip this capable. Pair it with a good cooler and it stays stable, quiet, and consistently high‑performing. For creators, the productivity performance is outstanding. Video editing, 3D modelling, software development—everything feels faster, smoother, and more responsive. It’s the kind of CPU that doesn’t just meet expectations; it blows right past them. If you want a processor that dominates in gaming and crushes heavy workloads, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D is an easy recommendation. It’s powerful, efficient, and one of the most impressive pieces of hardware AMD has ever released.

PC is extremely responsive and seems to keep a cool temperature (using a water cooler) speed is great and helps with multitasking and editing!

This is an amazing CPU... 16 cores and super fast. It's rare that I get anywhere near full load on my rig and the parallel processing makes running multiple docker services a cinch - not that I'm a typical user :) Installation was easy though it's worth looking at your motherboard to.make sure you have it set correctly. Also use the thermal paste sparingly. Best results are achieved with a very thin coat spread with a credit card. I'm definitely a fan of the AMD tech which far surpasses the Intel variants. Happy upgrading! I can heartily recommend this CPU!

The flagship processor comes at a fairly reasonable price and is probably overkill for my needs, but I won't need to upgrade my system for many years (unless Microsoft changes requirements again). It runs at around 38-40 degrees on light tasks (I'm using a Peerless Assassin 120 cooler), which is comparable to the Ryzen 5 7600 I had before, but it offers so much more power. It's a great processor and easy to install.

Breathtaking CPU, couldn't be happier!

Installed the AMD Ryzen™ 9 9950X3D on an ASUS X870E-E board with a top-mounted Lian Li Hydroshift LCD 360 NB AIO cooler and 11 Lian Li strategically positioned case fans (side intake, bottom intake, and full exhaust configuration). This is not a budget build, and the processor certainly reflects that—premium pricing and specs to match. Performance-wise, the CPU handles day-to-day applications like Excel and Word with ease but runs warmer than expected for such light tasks—idling around 58°C. Under gaming load (Forza Horizon 5 and MS Flight Simulator), temperatures rarely exceed 65–70°C, which is surprisingly stable given the specs. However the idle temp is still hotter than I am used to from previous builds, even with extensive cooling, however I believe this is normal for this CPU. The AMD software suite is intuitive and well-integrated. That said, AI Overclocking proved unstable for my setup, so I’ve opted out of using it. Stability remains excellent without it. Also Ryzen Master refuses to install for some reason, so have not been able to use it. Overall, happy with the CPU’s raw capability. If you are building for high-performance workloads or gaming and are comfortable with managing thermal output, this chip delivers. Just know you’ll want solid cooling and may need to dial back on aggressive overclocking.

I bought this for my Son for his new PC build and he was absolutely thrilled when he got it.

First AMD processor in 20+ years that I have bought and it's absolutely amazing. I do a lot of editing and gaming and it just seems to eat through everything without breaking a sweat. The only thing that I had to do was some setting up which was enabling the RAM and some other settings to get it working properly. The video that I followed or one that gives you some good advice is on YouTube called "How I set up my 9950X3D in the BIOS. Overclock & Undervolt Guide" If like me your last upgrade was about five years ago and that PC that you have at the moment is still working Ok and still doing what you need to do upgrade to this one, you won't be disappointed. Plus ordering on Amazon as well gives you the extra comfort and support!

The product meets all my needs. I recommend it to everyone.

Definitivamente el mejor procesador si quieres tener un PC tanto para gaming como para creación de contenidos. Juntado con una RTX 5090 este procesador le está sacando toda la potencia posible a la gráfica y rondando cerca del 20-30% como máximo en carga intensiva o multitasking. En juegos está prácticamente dormido, ya que anda rondando los 8-12% de uso. Para refrigerarlo uso una Artic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360mm con una curva de ventilación custom, en idle me ronda los 45-50° (un tanto elevado pero hemos de pensar que es totalmente normal en un procesador X3D), y entre los 70-80° en carga algo exigente, pudiendo subir a 85° en carga bastante exigente. Tiene 2 CCD de 8 núcleos cada uno, uno con tecnología X3D que se usará como principal en juegos o cargas que requieran esa caché extra, y el otro CCD no tiene tecnología X3D, está pensado para eficiencia o en el caso de necesitar todos los núcleos de la CPU, para dar un impulso extra y bastante notable. Si solo buscas rendimiento en gaming yo te recomendaría el R7 9800X3D, ya que solo tiene 1 CCD, y por ende conseguiría mejor rendimiento medio en juegos, pero si buscas algo más, el R9 9950X3D es tu decisión. Solía ser usuario de Intel por muchísimos años pero viendo los problemas de sus últimas generaciones decidí probar AMD Ryzen y no me arrepiento en absoluto. Ni un solo problema de FPS, stuttering o cuello de botella con mi GPU, 10/10. Si el dinero no es un problema, definitivamente te lo recomiendo.

Reason of purchase: no compromises. Outcome: It delivered and then some. AAA games, heavy productivity apps, everything is flying at the speed of light. Compared with Ryzen 5 3600 - the upgrade is well worth the price. 3D V-Cache really helps with gaming side of things - make sure to update chipset. That guarantees the right cores are put to work where needed. Cooling with AIO does the job. No breakfast cooking here.

AMD super processore intel 14 mi ha deluso per la sua instabilita

Fast. Seems to run nice and cool, compared to the 14900KF that I was using. My usage is primarily internet, gaming and office type apps so it is definitely much more of a CPU than I need but I will have no reason to upgrade any time soon. Benchmarks don’t show it as tremendously faster than the 14900KF, with about 10% higher in gaming frame rates on average. Temperatures are significantly cooler, topping out at 78 C after several hours of gaming (Starfield). The 14900KF would be much hotter, with the 3 fans on my AIO running at top speed to maintain 98 C. Overall, the 9950X3D uses less power while gaming, runs much cooler and is faster for what I do than the 14900KF so it has been a decent upgrade.
