AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D Processor

El precio es muy alto pero una vez instalado y probado (tanto para gaming como para tareas de compresión/descompresión de archivos) es el mejor CPU que haya tenido. Necesita un buena disipación de calor y una excelente pasta térmica. En W11 tiene un desempeño increíble, lo tengo emparejado con una GPU Gigabyte AMD RX 7900 GRE y nunca bajo de los 160 fps tanto en multijugadores en línea como en juegos en solitario en modo historia. Lo máximo que he logrado son 600 fps. En una CPU de la cuál no deberás preocuparte en reemplazar por lo menos durante 5 años ya que el poder de procesamiento es increíble. Si deseas armar una PC de alto desempeño está debería ser tu primera opción.

Beast of a CPU, sayonara Intel. Bought this for gaming and multitasking after being thoroughly let down by recent Intel CPU offerings. Got sick of issues with e-cores being total garbage that killed my fps, and turning off most of the cores on my cpu didn’t seem like a good solution so I went back to AMD after 12 years of Intel chips.Installation was a breeze, was able to get Expo to work on DDR5 6000MT ram that was on my motherboard QVL no problem. 16 cores is nuts. Mine is stable at 5.4 GHz on a full custom water loop, temps are never higher than 55C. Uses less power than my old i5-13600k and temps are better, too!It is so weird playing a cpu heavy game and seeing 10% cpu usage. Installed with a thermalright AM5 socket mount on a MSI X670E Tomahawk mono. The socket mount is great, it makes it impossible to get thermal paste all over the caps on the cpu and keeps it on the cpu heat-spreader.Extremely happy with the performance, this cpu is a monster. Intel’s design ideas of strapping on 10 year old garbage atom cores to their new high performance cores is a really annoying decision because if you are like me still on windows 10, any core can get assigned any task. Had a game get assigned e-cores to render threads and the fps was bouncing between 60 and 7, it was a nightmare.After installing AMD chipset drivers and switching power plan back to balanced, I haven’t had any issues at all with this chip. Was even able to use the same windows install I used for my Intel setup without issues.

Processador super potente para o que preciso: Renders e jogos. Não sei se é o software da AMD, o da placa mãe Asus, ou o próprio windows, mas as vezes ele dá uns picos de temperatura, como se eu estivesse fazendo algum trabalho pesado. Mas é algo rápido, não chega a 1 minuto e já volta a temperaturas normais pra ele, cerca de 50 graus aqui na Bahia (Nordeste do Brasil). Meu watercooler é dos mais baratinhos, um galax, e está dando conta de manter ele refrigerado. Nos renders por CPU chega de 85 à 90 graus C. Com o ar condicionado ligado a 25 graus em média, ele bate 44 graus por padrão. Bem menos que o 13900K que tinha antes. Pra quem vai usá-lo para jogos, o melhor é só habilitar os 8 núcleos do cache 3D, pois ganha mais quadros por segundo que deixar os 16 habilitados. É um processador que consome muito em estoque, se comparado aos outros processadores AMD, mas consome bem menos que os Intel. Só sucesso!

Perfect. The new AMD chip are easier to and install and harder to break which was a big plus for someone like me building there first PC. This thing is a power house and runs great! Definitely worth the money.

At first I was skeptical on the performance of the 7950x3d from what I’ve elsewhere in games, but paired with process lasso I have yet to see any issues. Boot times are said to be 5~10 minutes long, not once have I ran into that. Boots in less than a minute. Perfect cpu for both gaming and work.

Beastly. This thing is a powerhouse of a processor. Paired it with a PowerColor RX 7900xtx and well, they’re absolutely made for each other. No compatibility issues, and it just flows so well and surprisingly doesn’t run that hot without liquid cooling.

So, first off, I paid $690 for this CPU, replacing an older one so I could play Starfield and upgrade to Windows 11. It claimed to run overclocked at 5.7 ghz. I wanted the fastest best chip. All other CPUs I ever bought from AMD had the overclocking unlocked. This one was not and the software from AMD said it could NOT be unlocked due to the 3D feature. So, it’s sold as running at 5.7 ghz, but the software they released says it can’t, I couldn’t get it to, and my computer shop wasn’t able to. I put all that in just for anyone that will say I simply don’t know what I’m doing. I called AMD. I wrote them. I read their website and articles. It runs at 4.2, which is barely a little faster than my previous AMD cpu from 2012. 4.2 is much slower than 5.7. They also promised a free Star Wars game with it, but AMD didn’t honor the promotion. Within a couple of weeks of selling it to me at the insanely high price, they were discounting it as much as $130. So, I felt stupid for trusting them. I will say, it does run fine. I was able to upgrade to Windows 11 and I do run Starfield with it. Ironically, the only software I had any trouble running came from AMD itself. I’m using it fine with an expensive motherboard, 64GB RAM and an AMD 12GB graphics card. Other than overclocking or getting it to run any faster than 4.2 ghz, I have had no problems with this processor. But since 4.0 processors have been out well over a decade, this is way too much to pay for a 4.2 one. If anyone at AMD or anywhere else actually gets this processor running at 5.7 ghz, I still overpaid, but I’d at least be happier with the purchase. I’ve got lots of computers and you’d think they’d want happy customers. I’ve always chosen AMD because of their price, warranty and customer service, but this time it’s not broken, so it’s not a warranty replacement issue. According to their own software, it can’t be unlocked which means it’s not designed to EVER really run at 5.7. Too bad nearly every place that sells it still claims that it does, including AMD’s website. Like I said, even my overpaid computer techs could not get it to run anywhere near the OC speed. On the other hand that meant it has never overheated, but this could also be because I overpaid for the best water cooling system. There’s no game or app my previous cpu liked that isn’t better on this one. I hope AMD reads this, gives me the free game, and makes their software and processor work as their website claims. If they do those things, well, it’s still too expensive to get all the stars. I was too generous with my money as well as with the stars in this review. But it does run my computer and it does that well. It just doesn’t run nearly as fast, isn’t running the Star Wars game because they didn’t keep their promise and cost way too much. Oh, I also thought the customer service person was rude at AMD, unlike Amazon who are usually super nice. I could give you all the technical details, but others have done that. I told you what matters to me, a nearly lifelong AMD fanboy.

Highly recommended!

Running this chip with a DeepCool LT720 360mm rad with an ElecGear Carbon fiber contact frame with kingpin KPX thermal compound. In a lighter gaming workload, I didn’t see temps get above 55C on the hottest sensor from hwinfo in the recommended config from AMD. I don’t think high temperatures will be a problem for this particular chip, at least not outside what the rest of the 7000 series family can hit.

I personally haven’t had any stability concerns with this processor in the 3 weeks that I have ran it in place of my 7700x, even with EXPO enabled. In terms of average framerate, this chip feels like a 7700x subjectively, as I have no issues getting frames to a 4090 that I can tell. The 3d cache helps with 1%/.1% lows, to the point that the majority of the micro stutters I had gotten from my 7700x are largely gone in gameplay. There may be a small stutter when swapping from a game to a non game on another screen if using AMD’s recommended config, but not enough to be a bother.

Overall, if you want to mess around with extra cores later on (streaming, encode, etc.) but want the 3dcache for games now AND your budget allows for it, the 7950X3D is a pretty solid pick in my book for the enthusiast who wants the best without heading into server CPU territory.
