Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have always been an AMD fan even thopugh I have had one or two laptops that had Intel cpus in the combindwith an AMD chip but as for either building a PC or buying a prebuilt one I choose the ADM CPU over Intell anyday of the week. To be a first time user of a 3D CPU I'm very impressed with it on the speed of booting up on down to the fact of the set up in the bios of the motherboard I have it on. I bought this one to upgrade from the AMD Ryzen 9 7950x which was bough back in 2022 don't get me wrong the 7950x is a great CPU and still does what I bought it for and can be used, I bought the 9950X 3d duue to wanting to stream when I'm gaming but found out the speen and the quality of the video it gives out when combind with the video card I bought to go with it I will be useing the PC it's in for gaming more than streaming. The pros ar the ease of installing on the motherboard which is so easy now the AMD came out with no pins on the CPU's (no bent pins), also the fact of being from a company that I have used fro overr ten yeasr now. The con that I have with it is the price but hey that's my fault due to not wanting to wait for the price to come down. This is absolutely a get it if you can afford it

I used Intel for almost thirty years or more since the 386 and DX100 era, I decided to try AMD and was surprised by the quality and performance. I was using the i9 14900K and switched to the Ryzen 9 9950X3D, I'm impressed with the performance, speed, not to mention that it runs much smoother and heats up much less. Congratulations to AMD for this processor. I'm now an AMD customer.

The Ryzen 9 9950X3D is an outstanding choice for creators and professionals seeking ultimate performance. It delivers exceptional power and efficiency, balancing top-tier gaming and productivity. It’s not cheap, but if you want the best, this CPU delivers it

Chose this CPU for my first PC build, and it is great. I was worried that it would have high temperatures whenever I’m playing games, but when stress tested it never went over 80°C, and at idle it is staying between 45-50°C so I am happy.

If you work and game on the same PC, this processor was made for you. I was able to overclock it pretty easily to 5.9GHz with some undervolting using a manual curve. With the overlock, this processor is 20% faster than a 7950X. I think AMD saved their binned chiplets for this processor because this thing is a beast and undervolts like a dream. In medium weight workloads, the processor has no problem pulling 5.4GHz on all cores for hours on end. In light workloads, the processor boosts to 5.9GHz, single cores. Gaming requires Game Bar (built into windows) to be running in the background for it to pick the 3D V-Cache CCD for the game, but even if that doesn't happen for some reason, you're not going to be hurting for performance. Essentially, when the 3D V-Cache kicks in, it's amazing, but when it doesn't for whatever reason, it's still a 9950X running at 5.9GHz, you're not exactly missing out.

Coming from 5900x to this has been a beast of a performance. I wish it wasn't as expensive though but for performance it is delivering, I wonder why it is on the top. Highly recommend if you can afford it.

Working as promised. Great CPU best buy delivered with no damage. Placed it in my Asus white hyperion build with the asus astral 5090 gpu and the asus x-870 motherboard.

Top rated CPU in 2025, if you are planning to build a cyber comp, this CPU will be the BEST option before 2026, and the only thing can beat 9950 X3D is the next version of itself (in the near future). The best of the BESTS, and the cost-effectiveness compared to intels is absolutely INSANE.

I have had many CPUs but AMD has far proven the leader in gaming CPUs and the X3D series is untouchable! There has not been a workload thats even given this CPU the slightest struggle! Well worth it!

There’s been no task whether editing 6x 4K camera feeds on one timeline or playing the latest games at high frmerates that haven’t performed flawlessly.

It going to be a blast I can wait to turn on my pc a little expensive but totally worth it

Was building my first ever PC from scratch and was getting all the components I needed 1 by 1. Was down to my most expensive parts Motherboard, CPU, GPU, and SSD storage...Came across this CPU bundled with the X870E Arous Pro. CPU also could have had a little discount also $700 pretty steep even though it's an amazing CPU, but the board was $210 at the time, but built my PC over the weekend after picking it up and been solid since then.

Happy to have gotten it at MSRP through BestBuy. Intel fanboy here finally made the jump. The Hannah Montana of CPU’s best of both worlds!

This CPU is OUTSTANDING at everything. Stays cool on air cooling alone, gaming temps upper 60's low 70s its amazing.

love it and BB got it to me in 2 days free shipping

Powerhouse of a CPU make sure to use high grade of thermal paste.

Fast with my 5090 a ±++++++++++××××+++±+++++++++!+

Extremely hard to get your hands on this beast of a CPU. Worth every penny!!! Make sure you’ve accounted for the higher temps on this thing though!

So far so good! This cpu is performing as expected! for the most part I have this cooled with a 280mm AIO and it runs pretty well. When running this chip against my older intel 12900k it shows a notiable improvment! Personally speaking I don't think the 3d mark test warrents a need to upgrade... but I needed the 12900k to perform a newer duty.

This CPU is just incredible. Coming from years of Intel, I'm genuinely blown away by how much this processor can do, how fast it does it and how cool and power efficient it relatively still remains. For gaming, it's hands down incredible. And for productivity, there's no compromises either. A bit pricey, but well worth the price of admission! Easy to recommend
