AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D

I've reviewed three generations of 3D V-cache processors, and the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D is the best there is – by TechRadar

AMD's flagship chip is the best processor on the market, hands down, but its price will set you back

Reasons To Buy

  • ✓ Fantastic overall performance
  • ✓ Incredible gaming performance when using 3D V-cache
  • ✓ Power draw isn't excessive
  • ✓ Good thermal performance

Reasons To Avoid

  • ✗ Expensive
  • ✗ Only 8 of 16 cores can access V-cache, and Windows might not assign your game to one of those cores
  • ✗ Ryzen 7 9800X3D might be a better value for gamers
