AMD Ryzen 9 9950X 16-Core AM5 Processor

The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X delivers flagship-level performance for demanding workloads, content creation, and high-end gaming. Built on the advanced Zen 5 architecture with a 4nm manufacturing process, this processor combines 16 cores and 32 threads with clock speeds ranging from 4.3 GHz base to 5.7 GHz boost.

Performance Specifications

This AM5 processor features 64MB of L3 cache and 16MB of L2 cache, providing the bandwidth needed for multi-threaded applications. The unlocked multiplier allows enthusiasts to push performance further through overclocking. With support for DDR5-5600 ECC memory and PCIe 5.0 technology across 28 lanes, the 9950X is ready for next-generation storage and graphics cards.

Advanced Technologies

Precision Boost 2 technology automatically adjusts clock speeds based on system conditions, optimizing performance while managing power consumption. Precision Boost Overdrive takes this further by leveraging your motherboard's capabilities to achieve higher sustained boost clocks. The AMD Ryzen Master Utility provides real-time monitoring and custom performance profiles for CPU, GPU, and memory configurations.

Integrated Graphics and Connectivity

Integrated AMD Radeon graphics with a 2200 MHz base clock enables DisplayPort and HDMI output without a dedicated graphics card. This makes the processor suitable for troubleshooting, light productivity work, or building systems where discrete graphics will be added later.

Thermal and Power Requirements

With a 170W TDP and maximum operating temperature of 95°C (203°F), this processor requires a robust cooling solution (not included). The thermal monitoring technologies help maintain optimal operating conditions under load. The processor supports dual-channel memory configurations up to 192GB capacity.

Platform Compatibility

Designed for Socket AM5 motherboards, the Ryzen 9 9950X supports modern instruction sets including AVX-512, AES encryption, and AMD-V virtualization. The 64-bit architecture with support for advanced extensions makes it suitable for professional applications, virtual machines, and compute-intensive tasks.
