Description
The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X is an enthusiast-grade desktop processor built on the Zen 5 architecture, codenamed "Granite Ridge AM5". Featuring 16 cores and 32 threads with simultaneous multithreading, this processor delivers a base clock of 4.3GHz and boosts up to 5.7GHz, backed by 1280KB L1 cache, 16MB L2 cache, and 64MB L3 cache. Manufactured using TSMC 4nm FinFET technology for CPU cores and TSMC 6nm FinFET for the I/O die, this processor is designed for the AM5 socket and supports DDR5 memory with PCIe 5.0 connectivity. It is unlocked for overclocking and includes integrated AMD Radeon Graphics, making it suitable for high-performance desktop builds. A liquid cooler is recommended for optimal performance, and thermal solution is not included in the package.
