In Desktop CPU Processor

Fast, reliable, good AM5 platform, OCs well, runs cooler than competition, king of gaming

9600-series processors have improvements to the instruction set over the 7000-series and are generally more power efficient.

super fast, workhorse of a cpu while maintaining decent temperatures at idle and under load.

So fast! I have been an AMD person since their inception. Paired with an AMD video card this thing is unstoppable. Faster buss speed than 8000 and 9000 procs. Runs pcie 5.0 ssd drives faster Ryzen 7 7800X3D T-create DDR5 6400 64Gb xfx rx-7800-xt 16 Gb

- Unlocked K-Series chips are good fun if you want to mess around with your computer. - You can manually set up something that works like Turbo 3.0 and TVB, which are present on the high-end SKUs but not this one, if you use the correct BIOS options. Just requires more work to identify the strong vs weak cores, and an understanding of your cooling limits. - Getting the integrated GPU is great for expanded utility down the road, even if you don't need it today. My i7-4770K will get repurposed into a NAS and the IGP will be super nice for working with that system. - It has Raptor in the name. - The example I got seems to be a decent bin. 5.7GHz all-core at 1.3V or so, some cores will do 6GHz at 1.354V. Stable so far through a significant reliability gauntlet, including Prime95, OCCT core cycling, YCruncher, Linpack, and much more. I'm sure there's more headroom but I settled on something well within the limits for daily usage. - More manageable TDP (181W) versus the high 253W TDP on the i7 and i9. - Can achieve single threaded performance as good as the top SKUs with some work.

Great efficiency and speed. Great temps and solid as a rock!

Simple. Period.

I got this item on sale, and it is an amazing upgrade for anyone with older Am4 setup. This runs significantly cooler than my 9700k, and even comes with a cooler. I did not use the included cooler, but it was a nice touch that makes the value even better.

It's powerful enough to run the games a want to run.

A budget future proof

Exactly what i needed to get my PC built. Great price to performance as of Oct. 2024 Great gaming chip for cheap.

Powerful, and not too much slower than 13900k, but much less expensive. Four extra e-cores compared to 13700k. Huge upgrade from my 3770k which I've been using since 2012.

Slightly less performance than 7800x3D 12 Cores/24 Threads Runs newer less optimized games very well due to more cores Very good multi core/multi workload strength Doesnt run too hot surprisingly Decent L3 Cache 64MB

Unit functions incredibly well. I upgraded from a 2700x to this. Heating is a tad high, but I usually don't exceed 70C under heavy rendering load in photoshop or a game, which is fine. If your still running a 1000 / 2000 series Ryzen, this will be an immense upgrade, and is well worth it.

This thing is flawless and fast. I have a 12900k so this does feel a little bit of an improvement. The difference to me is that it goes through applications and games a little more efficiently and smoother. I like it. For the price on sale compared to previous generations it's a good bargain. No integrated graphics which is awesome for me.

Easy to install Thermals out of the box are good. Without overclocking Cinebench score of 39,303 multi-core, 2,229 single core, with a 17.63 MP Ratio.

Fast Solid performance in games at stock specs Multitasking a breeze on multiple monitors with multiple programs/windows

16 core 32 threats. Powerful and less power demand.

It was choppy preety quick at first with Patriot DDR5 4800(2 x 8GB), a very basic very good RAM. After memtest my ram and turning this machine off and on for a few weeks and trying different spinning hard drives I bought an almost new 4GB western Digital with a 256mb cache. The new hard drive I think smoothed it out and the feel of the computer, response beats my X299 with Platinum 3600 ram. I will not have the move capacity I am guessing, but I am happy I am tring the new platform and keeping this one simple will help as my first small DDR4 broke part way when I plugged in the wrong vidio adaptor. Gone is the run away clock speeds that happened with new DDR4, the guys got this right. As alway, I notice, the just below the top of the line CPU is the best deal for the money. I did try a 12900K with the graphics chip and sold it to keep this one. Thoses graphics chips that are on cpu die I don't think will ever match a video card and I did not like the faster cpu if I used its onboard graphics chip, it was useless. The debt I incured on that cpu, which I sold, went to ram for picking up some old threadripper set up and another old X299.

This processor is great for those who have a very busy home PC/server that needs to do everything at once. It's not the fastest raw speed per-core of the 7000 series processors for gaming (that's the 7800 X3d), but in terms of overall compute strength you can't bead the 7950X within the 7000 series. Mine runs a webserver, minecraft server, media server, and a lot more. I've put it to the test with some heavy multi-threaded workloads and it churns through them like butter. The automatic overclocking is also very nice and since it is based on thermals if you are running a single-threaded job by itself you will see the clock really ramp up and run that process at a high speed (5.25 ghz for me with a stock air cooler). If I'm running 32 threads at 100%, the clocks will still run around 4.85 Ghz.
