Product Showcase

Alright, it's time for some photos. Amazing remains to be that a completely different architecture and chiplet design and thus a totally new processor are still making use of Socket AM4, and thus works on selected 300/400, but also on the recommended X570 chipset based motherboards. The Ryzen 3950X processor clocks in at a base clock of 3.50 GHz, yet can Turbo to 4.70 GHz depending on load levels versus active threads. That brings this proc the fastest base clock of the range as well as the second-best Turbo (only the 16-core part will be faster). Given it's an 8-core architecture per die, AMD is really nicely managing that clock frequency.  For best fine-grained support, we do recommend a series 500 motherboard aka X570, of course, for this 16-core part even if it was alone for the improved VRM cooling and phases. For the 16-core part AMD does recommend LCS cooling for best performance and we completely agree. We'll be testing with the MSI MEG X570 Godike based on the very latest revision BIOS with AGESA 1.0.0.4
