Customer Ratings & Reviews

At first i thought i would regret not dishing out the extra cash for the 7950x, but i couldnt pass up the performanxe of the 7900x at this price point. Actually, I paid $420 for it because I price matched from Amazon (make sure to always compare pricing). At nearly $150 cheaper, this CPU is straight MONEY. Extremely fast and powerful, handles any task i throw at it. Im able to stream at mad settings and game at 1440p max settings with ease, and it seems like this processor doesnt even blink. Its truly amazing how far the technokogy for these processors has come. So with all that said, I think value plus performance wise the 7900x is the way to go. If you want the flag ship go for the 7950x or 7950x3d but understand you’re really spending that extra money to flex on your friends. Its very unlikely you need that much power for just gaming and streaming. The 12 cores in the 7900x really means this processor is able to take on pretty much any task(s) for about 98% of the PC population. Highly recommend.

Amazing graphics! Very easy to install and now can run any modern game!

Night and day difference compared to my 9700k @ 5ghz All-core. Though be warned, likes to run a little hot. Luckily I was able to use a Precision boost Option on my Asus Board to still give me great performance and still hit 5.5Ghz All 12 Cores. All that and even with Cinebench I was around 75-80C. Though I am running custom water cooling.

This is a great CPU in multi-core processing for photo/video editing. Workflow is smooth with no lag and latency. Keep in mind - you'll also need the best SSD, a good amount of memory (recommend 128GB of memory), and a solid GPU if you want the maximum amount of power for post-production work. As far as gaming, the CPU is pretty powerful. Not on par with AMD's X3D line up, but with the right mid-range to high end GPU and a nice SSD you'll get a great performance for your system. As mentioned above you get great performance for production, gaming, and streaming, but it leans more towards power users who need multi threaded tasks. Be sure to get an AIO water cooler. It runs a wee bit on the hot side. Great value for multiple uses.

No issues , have had it for almost a year. Easily installed.good for the price

Better than the 9900x! Save your money for the next Ryzen CPUs! Buy these while supplies last this year. Upgraded from my 5900x! Huge change worth the jump. I edit and game and run 4 monitors so needed the in between. Not worth getting the 7900x3d best value overall

Great for video editing, content creation, animation, and even high-end competitive gaming!

Very great product. Runs really fast! Gaming has been much more fun! Best Buy has the best deals for gaming products. Highly suggest this!

great so far. learned that it is one that likes to run hot! dont be like me, have your cooling planned out

Runs really well, haven’t had any issues yet! Although for those who are building with it the 7000 series especially this one does run pretty hot but as long as you get some good cooling you shouldn’t have any issues!

it’s really good i like it and this is somebody that’s switching over from intel. I got it because i was building a pc and i was about to put the latest intel in it but i decided this chip would be best especially for gaming so this was the best pick for me

This a top of the line cpu it is not a generic part this is amd ryzen 9. Super fast and efficient.

It's an outstanding processor for the money. Did everything I expected of it and would strongly suggest that this be a must purchase for any designer.

Bit on the pricy side but excellent cpu runs games awesom

I purchased this for my first PC build the CPU works excellent and I highly recommend it.

I had some issues with quality in previous purchases for this item and BestBuy customer service was glad to help with it. Love the customer service provided and can’t wait to build my pc with this component! Great price for the value and price matching this to another competitor was a breeze.

12 cores of cool running power. Its handled any game or work application I've thrown at it. Massive leap from my old 9700k.

Great for my combo college and gaming does whatever I need it to

Upgraded my whole platform from a AM4 to AM5. And went from a ryzen 7 3700x to the 7900x, and man this thing is fast. And now I also am getting full performance for my rtx 3090. I would highly suggest a good cooler. Because it does run hot. Rendering in daz studio has never felt so fast. And gaming is buttery smooth. Also I didn't realize this CPU has built in graphics. Making it technically a APU instead of a CPU. A long needed upgrade, and the performance increase is incredible. Now to get another 2tb or larger m.2 to fit my daz studio program. So I can take it off my HDD to get faster load times. And more ram lol.

I recently had the chance to use the Ryzen 9 7900X, and I have to say — this CPU is absolutely impressive. The performance it delivers is outstanding, whether you're gaming, multitasking, or running heavy workloads like video editing or 3D rendering. The 12-core, 24-thread architecture handles everything I throw at it with ease, and the responsiveness is top-notch. The efficiency and speed are noticeable right from the start. Applications open instantly, games run buttery smooth even at high settings, and productivity tasks are completed faster than I expected. The new AM5 platform and DDR5 support also future-proof this processor for years to come. Overall, the Ryzen 9 7900X is a beast of a CPU, and I am extremely satisfied with the performance. I would absolutely love to use this product again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for serious power and reliability in their build.
