    One of the best processors I have owned. Open as many Chrome pages and apps as you need this processor will not let you down. I had 50 Chrome pages open running all at once (don’t ask why I need them open) and running smooth.

    Upgraded to this chip over the 3600 and its performance is top tier, last gen’s top ryzen chip is still absolutely destroying anything you can throw at it.

    Replaced a 3700x with this 5950x. I have started to edit and collaborate old family movies and photos. The speed difference is pretty incredible. I can work with multiple files and render videos easily. I have just started to dip my toes in 3D printing and CAD and I have zero complaints about my PC performance.

    Definitely worth the cost if you have a beafy enough GPU to pair with it, this thing seriously gets hot if you plan to use anything under a 280 rad I’d recommend either a lower tier or running in eco mode

    This is an amazing cpu for work and play! Super fast and powerful. This all comes with the cost of thermals and extra power draw. If you are going to buy this, definitely get a highflow case with a beefy cpu cooler

    Overkill for everything, unless you are a complete professional working at Pixar, even then this will crush almost anything you throw at it. Also works great for gaming.
