Description

The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X is a 16-core, 32-thread desktop processor built on AMD’s Zen 5 architecture for the AM5 platform. It is aimed at creators and power users who render video, compile code, run 3D and simulation workloads or stream while gaming, and want top-tier multi-threaded performance.

It boosts up to 5.7GHz from a 4.3GHz base clock and has 80MB of combined L2 and L3 cache. Built-in Radeon graphics let you run the system before a graphics card is installed or for troubleshooting.
