Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you're looking for an absolute beast of a CPU for both productivity and gaming, then look no further. If you're just looking for gaming, then save the money and buy the 9800X3D which offers the same performance but much cheaper. If you plan doing no gaming and are just looking for prouctivity, then the intel 285k will serve you just fine and it's a bit cheaper. But overall, there's no beating this CPU this generation for all around performance.

Perfect for what I needed. Runs smoothly, easy installation, and is a powerhouse in every way.

Not a whole lot to say here. I mean this is the current top performer in production and gaming. The price could be better and because I was able to do some flips, I reduced my personal cost where it just made sense. At $700 you better need the production aspect. If not, the clear choice is the 9800x3d or the 7800x3d. While the 9000 CPUs are slightly improved over the 7000 what you choose should be based on the best deal. The differences won't be noticed clearly unless you are coming from AM4.

700$ is steep for just a cpu alone. And the fact I had to manually activate half the disabled cores is the reason this gets a 4 rather than a 5. Other than the price and tweaking, the clock speeds and perfomance is really good. I still would prefer a ryzen 7 9800x3d for gaming, but for workloads or a bit of both its really good.

This is one the best CPU's I have ever used. I have been on AMD now for the past 3 years and I have never looked back from moving on from my 10th gen i7. AMD has the best all around cpu work load for gaming and editing and all other tasks. I would highly recommend getting into a 64GB 6000MHz ram kit set up with these CPUs as this is the sweet spot to maximize the performance of this cpu and your build. Of course, us enthusiasts should know this already. We aren't here taking a Ferrari engine and throwing it into a Pinto are we?

It is excellent for my build. And the representative was amazing thank you

I previously had the Intel Core i9 13900K, even though yes, I still have it. I purchased this brand new AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D. Just to see the difference and I actually really like it. Really enjoy it. I am 'probably' not going back to until again. And yes, I would daily recommend anyone to get an AMD CPU, whether it's for multitasking, video editing, gaming, anything.

Should’ve swtiched from intel to AMD faster. The better power efficiency, the much faster gaming performance, and slightly better productivity capabilities make the 9950x3d undoubtedly the king of all consumer CPUs this year. The only downside i could think of is in terms of mobo support. There are just too few options of good AM5 in matx and itx configurations.

I love this CPU. I upgraded from an R9 5900x AM4 build into this and couldn’t be happier. SO MUCH SPEED and no issues!

Super Powerful CPU for everything that I need. Great for Gaming and workloads. Its the best of both worlds.

Great CPU. Coming from a 7950X3D I was really excited about this CPU due to the 3D cache placement and its effect on cooling along with a higher TDP. This CPU is an absolute beast and Intel has nothing that can keep up. I have been a fan of AMD for a very long time and hopefully this CPU will last a while.

Very powerful central processing unit. Productivity and gaming needs completely met. Do not get weak ram with this CPU. If you want to unlock it's potential get cl32 6600mhz or better

The processor itself is fantastic and earns this 5* review. Best Buy decided to drive it across the country in a paper envelope with zero padding, so I'm a little surprised it made it in one piece. Yes, I could have paid for a higher tier of shipping, but I didn't need it right away and figured they'd take care of things properly regardless.

This is probably top of the line on the market right now and after the intel chip voltage issues ill only use AMD

I needed a work/game station and while the 9800x3d is enough for the gaming side, I needed the additional cores for my work, able to keep it cool with air cooling is a bonus.

Delivered quick, it works perfectly fine with my build and increased its performance extremely. Always good to buy from Best Buy.

The best processor for gaming and multitasking currently!

Best CPU ever I would really recommend this product

Outstanding new processor. I switched from Intel to AMD inside my new PC build and couldn't be happier! Intel is simply not what it used to be. I highly recommend this AMD processor if you can afford it.

what can I say that it was not said before for this CPU, one of the best on the market, great for games
