The editors didn't like
Nothing of note
The 3700X might be just as good based on your usage
Not a true replacement for HEDT if you need the additional PCI-E or Memory lanes
No cooler included
Not every software application can makes use of all 16 cores
Needs extra cooling
Limited gaming advantage
Not as strong value as some of the other Ryzen 3000 offerings
Extra PCIe lanes and quad-channel memory can benefit HEDT competitors

Abstract: Following our initial Core i5 10600K and Core i9 10900K Linux benchmarks last week, here is a much larger comparison I have been working on since then in looking specifically at the Ryzen 9 3900X and 3950X against the Core i9 10900K. It's the largest to d...

Abstract: This week our AMD Ryzen 9 3950X review sample finally arrived and so we've begun putting it through the paces of many different benchmarks. The first of these Linux tests with the Ryzen 9 3950X is looking at the performance up against the Ryzen 9 3900X an...

From a pure CPU performance standpoint nothing on the desktop side can touch the Ryzen 9 3950X, which is a tremendous value even at its $749 MSRP considering how much compute power you're getting in a single 16C/32T package. Even moving up to Intel's flag...

Abstract: Today we're comparing the Ryzen 9 3950X and Core i9-9900KS in a massive number of games, using one of G.Skill's most premium 16GB memory kits, the Trident Z Neo DDR4-3600 CL14. For those of you spending $600 or $750 on a CPU, purchasing best in class DDR4...

Abstract: We're not far off from the release of AMD's new Ryzen Threadrippers or Intel's new Core X-series chips, but we promised we'd get a full review up of the 3950X, and so, we're doing it. Last week, we took a quick look at the chip in Windows, and followed-up...

There are many attributes by which a processor is examined. Absolute performance is the one that grabs the headlines – either by way of single core performance, or the chip performance as a whole, most often applied to an arbitrary benchmark. Aside from r...
The 16-core Ryzen 9 3950X is simply the fastest consumer CPU in town. Period. Full stop. Review over.While that may seem like the most unorthodox way to start a review of AMD's new 16-core Ryzen 9 3950X, anybody expecting a different outcome at this poi...
The AMD Ryzen 9 3950X processor is likely the most impressive mainstream desktop processor launch of the decade. AMD has managed to give the community a 16-core, 32-thread CPU for the mainstream AM4 platform without sacrificing performance. Over the years...

Abstract: Today we finally get to show you how the Ryzen 9 3950X performs. Earlier this year at Computex we weren't sure if we'd see a 16-core AM4 CPU happen, but AMD put that one to rest when it announced the 3950X later on at E3. Originally due to hit shelves in...
If you are building a high-end DIY PC, and are in need of a seriously proper performing streaming, content creating and/or gaming processor at a fair budget, well yes, at 749 I really can't say it's not a lot of money, but heck the value certainly is ther...
