Fonctionne comme prévu. processeur rapide.

Great price in combo, very fast in windows applications, for me great in games as well. 200s boost for some extra power.

Great quality product that is exceptionally easy to set up and run. I have this on an ASRock Taichi X870E motherboard and the combined performance is truly astonishing. Without any overclock other than XMP1 memory profile this CPU outperforms my Intel 14900KF in benchmarks, lower power draw and cooler running temperatures under load (using the same AIO). The accompanying software which puts 8 of the cores to sleep during game playing does what it's supposed to for the games I have.

Unreal performance. The 3d vcache really helps games Cools a lot easier than my previous 5950x TDP is amazing for performance

I had originally ordered the 7900x but then decided on the more powerful 7950x. Easy return got my refund and my new chip all within a couple of days.

Works as intended

Good match for most midrange GPUs

FAST, and just as high performing as AMD at 4k/Ultra which is why you would buy this CPU, that and productivity apps. A little more cost effective than AMD equivalents. SLEEPER PERFORMER: influencers and enthusiasts have claimed bad performance, but it's not true when properly tuned. RAM of 8800+ MT's speeds are easily achievable/stable.

Runs fast Got a water cooler on it maybe 43 deg C DDR5 ram is great.

Only 65W and uses it well. Zippy performance at less heat! Typically running in the middle 40's C for me.

Incredible jump up from my 5800X, cut my Handbrake encode times in half.

-blazing fast and overclocked out-of-box to 5.3ghz (for me) with current MoBo bios and drivers. -ECO mode at 65 average watts and much lower temps is giving me great 1440p, 144hz gaming on high/ultra WoW with max viewing distance. -integrated GPU is nice for new rig setup pending installation of graphics card.

BEAST of a cpu, Fast & powerful!

Luckily I like spending time tweaking my CPU. My benchmark scores and framerates really did not go up until I dialed in a good Core Offset, tuned the memory beyond EXPO's auto settings, turned off Core Isolation in Windows, downloaded Win 11 update KB5041587. I have not tried Win11 24H2 yet, and I am not running this with any version of Linux. Compared to my 7950x, I have way more throw with the Core offset. I can dial in a Core Offset beyond -25 with the 9950x, whereas my 7950x gets fussy when I try a CO beyond -5. The 9950x also doesn't run as hot.

-Wow she runs fast in games

I like that it is 20 cores and runs up to 5.6 Ghz while not going above 75 C. It only hits 70s under full load. Gaming 55 Celsius. Idles at 32 C using Corsair ICUE H150i RGB Elite on balanced setting.

Takes the frustration out of trying to save and compress large PDF's... I mainly move large Blueprint files from PC to PC.... This CPU is super helpful at doing that. I tested this with a 3080ti and a 3080 and the 1080p benchmark scores went up. With the FFXV 1080p benchmark, a stock 8700k and the 3080ti would score above 18000, and over 21000 when the 8700k is overclocked to 5.1ghz..... the 12900k and the 3080ti score over 23000. I've also tested with a tuned 5950x and a tuned 9900k at 5.1ghz and they both go above 22000. The 12900k kills RPCS3 but only when the e-cores are disables..... might as well go with the 12700k here. If emulators are your thing then look at Alder Lake. The IMC seems decent. I had no trouble running DDR4-4000 cl16 RAM with XMP enabled and I didn't have to touch the System Agent or I/O voltages. Also, I had no trouble running the XMP 3.0 profile for DDR5-6000 cl36 RAM. I didn't have to touch the S/A or I/O voltages here either. The memory controller seems to be good.
