Ryzen 9 3950X will arrive on the market on November 25, sweeping the Intel Core i9-9900K in multitasking

Introduced the AMD Ryzen 9 3950X 16-core and 32-thread processors that will officially hit the market on November 25.

Due to frequency issues, AMD said in late September that it had to delay the Ryzen 9 3950X. This processor is characterized by having 16 cores and 32 threads. It seems that problems with frequency and TSMC issues have caused these processors to lag. A processor that hits the market as a hybrid solution between gaming and Workstations.

The Zen2 @ 7nm architecture for its prices and good performance is selling with great ease. Although they are a great solution, they have their drawbacks, the main one being compatibility with RAM. In addition to the frequencies, since some models would not reach the frequencies set by the company. Minor issues that do not affect sales.

This Ryzen 9 3950X processor has a total of 16 cores and 32 processing threads. This processor works at a base frequency of 3.5GHz and reaches in Boost mode up to 4.7GHz. The TDP of this processor is 105W, although the issue of temperatures will have to be seen. It is complemented by 64MB of L3 Cache, something impressive.

According to AMD this processor is 22% more powerful than the Ryzen 7 2700X in single core under Cinebech R20. The company indicates that in multicore this processor is 79% more powerful than the Core i9-9900K (with twice the number of cores). The funny thing is that the gaming performance graph shows a similar performance to the i9-9900K.

The AMD graphics let us see that this processor is focused on heavy tasks and not for gaming. Most of the time AMD processors are better in price, but in this case it is worse for gaming. Of course, if you want to stream and play or video editing and such, this processor is the bomb. It has good things and bad things.

The Ryzen 9 3950X will hit the market on November 25 for $749, which would be about 800 euros in Europe. We recommend a good Noctua or BeQuiet type heatsink! of the largest or an RL of 240mm, at least.
