The new “Best" CPU! – AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D
Check out the Secretlab Titan Evo ergonomic gaming chair at https://lmg.gg/secretlabsc and give your back the support it deserves!
AMD’s newest and great CPU is here — the Ryzen 9 9950X3D! Jake just bought a 9800X3D, but with upgraded boost clocks, increased cache sizes, and double the cores and threads, the 9950X3D looks like it should be better in every way.

if i already have the 9800x3d is it worth upgrading?
i would choose 9950X non 3D for work. it does not gain not much of performance with more cache. i just hope 2 CCD have more cache not just 1.
Big question: is it actually worth spending the money for an X3D when gaming at 1440p or above? Because, honestly: who does "productivity" or work on a screen that is less than 1440p?
This is gonna be a beast to run Youtube 😏
What about a productivity in different games?
why still no in depth 9950x3d and 9900x3d reviews?
The amount of money i just spent ordering a Astral 5090 and 9950X3D….i wont be upgrading for a very very long time
😀
I’m waiting for AMD and Windows to take full advantage of 3D cache
Do we have benchmark against a i9-14900k or a i7-14700k ?
Loading Windows XP… from cache… done in 0.0001 seconds." 😄
i too enjoy making tweaks in the “Biaus”
Something interesting (that I’m sure someone smarter than me can explain) is that
When playing Valorant or League (and one time when switching from DLSS in BG3) my computer computer completely powers off.
When I enabled 3D game mode the crashes stopped but I noticed CPU dips. So turned CCD1 back on and it works fine. But I only have access to 14 cores (one less for each CCD)
OK, you got your cash for pushing this AMD CPU.
Now make another video that tells the truth.
This AMD is for gamers. Less than 20% of people who buy computers, bought them to do gaming. the other 80% want to do work.
You say it’s an absolute unit but you made that face in the thumbnail like "Ummm ..naaah..!"
make segue shirt!!!!!!!
In most operating systems you can pin processes to specific cpu cores… So if you wanted to run your game on the chiplet with extra L3 cache then you could already do that by affinitizing the process.
But GPU bro the GPU. To many amateurs and noobs think all you need is a good GPU cause you know GRAPHICS.
keep yapping little man
AMD actually used an NVIDIA GPU for testing their CPU? wow
I built a 9950x3d, 6000 cl26 64gb, 4 tb gen 5 ssd, rtx 5090. I got the 9950 because of all the 7zip stuff I do and emulation.
I’m a little disappointed they left out the AM4 X3D chips from the benchmark graph. My 5800X3D ain’t going anywhere for a while.
I have the 7950x still awesome
How far away are we from getting 1 gig of cache. Since transistors cannot get any smallers at this point. Cpu’s have maybe 2-3 more generations of getting faster. Then, I believe the cache race would be the thing up next and then game and software developers will start using lazy about optimising for cache. and in like 2050’s we will have people flipping out because a cpu just has 8 gigs of Cache on it (and gpu’s with 1 terrabite of vram).
JUST GOT MINE TODAY SUPER STOKED!!!!!!!!
Tnx for the best cpu video. Very interesting! 🤔
BTW, what is the open PC case do you use?
U just cant imagine how good youtube is working with this cpu and 5070ti
So does that mean that if you’re gaming and streaming it turns off the other cores rather than just using them for the streaming software?
Seems a waste.
I wouldn’t want to have to use process lasso just to be able to do that.
9950x it is. The bump in performance isnt worth the bump in money
Me feeling like a clown for having a 7950x3d
My god I thought Americans were bad with eyeran and eyerack, no, its pronounced Cashaye. Id assumed you knew, as its french.
I have a tiny youtube channel. Just got a 5950x to… guilt-trip me into making more videos <3 haha
cant find a 9950X3D but is 9950X ok? specs seem similer
I need advice.
Is it better to just get a high core cpu and no gpu that is able to perform well in both games and productive workloads. So the budget of the gpu is used in the cpu. How can i know the performance of the igpu in these chips and compare them to regular external gpus
I just bought it.
The best part is with Process Lasso you can stream/work and Play games without losing performance and without coreparking. I can simulate with 8 cores and the x3d cores are for games.
Get rid of Linus jeeeezzzz
You need to use Paradox Games as the test subjects, CPU’s required for them are big…
I just what to say thank you!You have help me with my choice of cpu, you are a great help thanks again!!?
Secret Lab chairs cause ischial bursitis
Hard-core park core?
So looking at all the benchmarks and the pricing differance the best amd cpu would be the normal 9950X.
People need to realize most gamers don’t care if they gain no advantage of buying a $1000 cpu if they have the money they’re going to buy it. Why you ask fk you that’s why.
Only microsoft can write a solitaire game that uses 16 cores…
What about Audio/DAW performance? Would be interesting to know how this CPU does in low-latency tracking situation and with big mixing/sound design sessions with lots of vsts and VI loaded.
amd 7960x 5,8ghz 24core ist best amd stabil cpu 2023 , 2024 and 2025
The Intel Core i9-14900KS is currently considered the fastest desktop processor available, achieving a record-breaking turbo frequency of 6.2 GHz. It is a "Special Edition" processor designed for high-performance tasks like gaming and professional content creation
Sorry if I’m dumb here, but what did they use for cooling?
To try and make it simple for anybody..
In gaming you are NOT getting 128mb L3 V cache OR 16 cores! You are getting 96 mb of L3 V cache and 8 cores. (Same as a 9800x3d)
The extra 32 mb of L3 are much slower and SEPERATE, and used for multi tasking and multi thread loads along with the 8 extra cores.
All these software optimizations are to ensure that Games don’t use the WRONG 8 cores and 32mb of L3 and ALWAYS use the 96 mb L3 V cache side.. (In theory)
But there is room for "mistakes" to be made and either windows scheduling OR amd drivers not properly flaging a program to use the correct L3 V Cache. (This DOES HAPPEN)
Functionally in a video game the Ryzen 9 9950x3D IS a Ryzen 7 9800 X3d with slightly lower base clock speed, and slightly higher boost clock speed. Effectively evening out..
If you want this for a mostly gaming PC, you should just save some money and go with the Ryzen 7 9800x3d.
ESPECIALLY if you don’t want to worry about potential scheduling and partitioning mistakes with future driver updates or games not being flagged properly.
Subject: Request for Assistance
Hi,
I hope this message finds you well! I wanted to reach out because I’m currently working on life that requires an additional monitor to enhance my productivity.
I understand this is quite an ask, but if you’re able to assist me by purchasing a monitor or providing funds towards one, I would greatly appreciate it! I believe this investment will significantly improve my workflow and allow me to deliver better results.
Thank you very much for considering my request; I truly value any support you can provide!
Best regards
