AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 16-Core 5.6 GHz Boost AM5 Processor

The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 is a 16-core, 32-thread desktop processor for Socket AM5, and it's a great deal if you want workstation-class muscle without juggling two separate machines for work and play.

Big power for big workloads

• 16 cores and 32 threads: room to render, compile, stream and game at the same time.
• Up to 5.6 GHz boost: a 4.3 GHz base clock that climbs when a heavy task needs the speed.
• Socket AM5: fits AM5 motherboards, so you can build on the current AMD platform.
• Ryzen 9 family: AMD's high-end tier for demanding desktop use.

Note that no cooler is included, so plan to pair it with a suitable aftermarket cooler. A good fit for enthusiast gamers, video editors and 3D artists building or upgrading an AM5 rig, and a smart pick if you want a cheap route to a top-tier CPU for years of heavy use.
