AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-core, 24-thread unlocked desktop processor with Wraith Prism LED Cooler

While intel is still the king in terms of gaming (though by only a narrow margin), amd has closed that gap tremendously. Compared to the 9900k, this CPU is almost as good for gaming. Considering the huge difference of clock speed, this shows that AMD finally has a better ipc(instructions per clock). To notice any difference in gaming, you have to pair with a very high-end graphics card as it is very hard to bottleneck this cpu (think 2080ti). However you start to do some productivity things that take advantage of more cores, like rendering or encoding, and AMD absolutely wipes the floor!

I received a 3900x from AMD Authorized Reseller

ok

Performs as expected

Jeux

12 cores, 24 threads, set for next gen.

Had to change my review as my heatsink was loose causing it to overheat and its working right now. Havent thrown anything too heavy at it but so far so good.

I feel lucky to have scored it at all. Exceeds my wildest expectation. Soooo good.

Stupid fast bro!

It’s a beast. Buy one. Don’t forget a large cooler and fast RAM.
