I got the 9800x3D day one of launch, it arrived in 2 days and had absolutely no issues installing it or getting it overclocked. Super quick and stays pretty stable in temperature even under heavy loads.

Super fast, Zen 3 , everything you need best bang for the buck, Highly recommended

Why did I pick this? This is my first AMD CPU. I mainly chose this because Intel has been having issues with their CPUs. I waffled between the 9600X, the 9700X and the 9800X3D. Ultimately it came down to price. With GPUs being outrageous, I chose the cheapest CPU with the thought that when Zen 6 comes out I can swap the CPU. I really had no issues with it. Seems to install like any other CPU.

Upgraded from a 265k and while not a huge performance gain in gaming still a nice improvement. Absolute monster when it comes to multi core workloads. Even using a 240mm AIO this CPU is easy to cool.

Benchmarks great

Fast and stable right out of the box

-Ridiculous speed -Highest single core speed -Highest multi core processing capability

This is my first AMD CPU since the days of the Athlon 64 X 2. I had really liked the AMD chips (I still have a working K6-III 450 that OCs to 600MHz on an old Compaq Presario), and my first builds in the early 2000s were all AMD. But I shifted to Intel with the introduction of the Core2Duo line of CPUs which were amazingly cool-running and OCable and never went back to AMD until now. My last Intel build which I still use was an i5-13600k build from 2023, a great cpu. But Intel seems kind of stalled right now, so I opted for AMD Ryzen. I have never spent such a large sum on a cpu (and adjusting for inflation), but I'm old and decided to go for it. Using this cpu has been a learning curve to say the least, with CCDs, 3d cache, core parking, and other features of these chips with which I was unfamiliar. But wow, this 9950X3D is jaw-dropping. Currently, I am not OCing but I am undervolting. And at stock, some of the CCD1 cores run at 5750+ stable, and all the CCD0 at 5500+. None of my temps (package, CCD or individual cores) exceed mid-70s (peak bursts) and average in the mid-60s under gaming (FS 2024, Cyberpunk 2077) or benchmark (OCCT, Cinebench) demands. And this is using only a 240mm AIO. The AMD chipset drivers work great, and when paired with Win 11 Game Bar and a Win 11 Balanced power option, the non-3D cached cores idle at 4.3GHz when gaming just as they are supposed to do. This is all new to me, but I've learned, and it's just magic. I'm using a 5070 Ti and 64G of Corsair Vengeance (I bought in early 2025 when it was cheap). My gaming is smooth, apps the same (it blows through Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop), and everything snaps. Hats off to AMD.


This CPU is fast, and I mean FAST.

Excellen Performance

Trade in program let me swap this for my old 13600k to get a much better binned CPU and two free games (Battlefield 6 & Assassin's Creed Shadows) for a grand total cost of $18 in the end. Not bad.

-arrived on time - customer service was very responsive and helpful - product arrived in great condition -was skeptical but really did surprised that it was legit

I hit 45000 on cpu benchmark Huge difference compared to my old Ryzen5 5600g

Trust me it is better than the 7700x. If you are building new. This is a no brainer. Use my PC for gaming mostly and I did notice the difference going from a 7700x. The 1% low's were definitely better also. Which makes for a smooth gaming experience.


Very fast with no cooling issues.

This things runs like a cat having just fallen in a bath tub, and if not cared for, just as dangerous (covered in cons) Running this thing provides the heat needed for an entire floor of my house in the winter.

It seems fantastic runs like a jet
