Model: 100-100000908WOFSKU: 6537138Top comment"If youdon't mind going the hassle of turning off one or the other CCD for different purposes then you may find value in this processor but practically the 7950x doesn't use that much power unless in productivity use (and even then it's not even much higher than the 5950x's draw) and for me it ran smoother and snappier because it didn't have trouble switching between CCDs. ...The best processor without a doubt...This processor is worth every penny. It's blazing fast and sips power. 100% recommend"
