Simple. Period.

Very, very fast

Cheap and Fast. Fewer 'security issues" than Intel.

I paired this CPU with a RTX 3080 10GB on a 1080p and I'm getting +165 FPS in arc riders epic settings.

-Low power vs the previous generations -Both great gaming and multicore performance -Plenty of IO -Doesn't kill itself like raptor lake -Very tame voltages -Super responsive even vs raptor lake which on paper these should be about the same. -iGPU have av1 encoding so frees my actual gpu for other stuff -Stable and no strange bugs or issues

Expensive but definitely worth it thats for sure runs cool at 40 degrees Celsius and cinebench only hits 69 degrees Celsius due to my cooling in my case have 0 issues so far

Incredible Performance jump from my i7-8700k Makes Windows feel abnormally fast and responsive, as if it knows what program I'm about to open before doing so.

One of the most powerful home CPUs available. Unmatched 128 MB L3 cache capacity, that after some setup has the potential to make this one of the fastest CPUs in gaming.

Everything. Just WOW!

Overclocked pretty easily to 6Mhz per core. No issues with the CPU so far.

- Fast, super fast, very fast. - Worked out of the box. - Insane number of cores.

CPU performs well, stable, temps are not an issue with a be quite Pure Rock Pro 3. Upgraded from a Intel i5-6500...... So probably not fair to compare.

- Don't have to marry into the thread ripper eco system. - Cheaper than thread ripper. - Good for AI and Gaming. - Zero scheduling issues.

I just put my new computer together yesterday, I was building with this Ryzen 9900X and the Radeon RX 9070 XT with 64 GB Ram at 6000 MHZ. I was upgrading from a 5600x and an RTX 2080 Super, the difference has been very noticeable. Everything is loading up faster and gameplay has been very smooth. I'm running a 240 AIO on this CPU and so far, the temps have been stellar. Idle, it's under 40c and while playing games it's sticking to about 60c.

Best processor gaming

High productivity with good power consumption. Plenty of cores/threads for gaming and productivity.

- The 9700X is a very efficient CPU. Paired with my 240mm liquid AIO, my computer runs whisper quiet. - If you enable PBO, the 9700X offers great overclocking potential.

I had no problem installing into my pc.


It's a nice chip. I have a graphics card so I didn't need the K version; the KF works just fine.
