The review today hardly will need an introduction, the monolith has arrived, the consumer, and not even HEDT, the sixteen-core processor in the Ryzen 3000 family, the Ryzen 9 3950X. It is fast, feisty, agile and even affordable. Join us in a review of the Ryzen 9 3950X processor.

I really miss the "good old days" when you just bought the fastest CPU. I'm getting too old for this.

BEAST!
This cpu is to close the year with gold key! If this year was and still great to AMD next year will be amazing! Think that next year the 4K monitors will be more and more cheap and, who buy this chip with sure never will play at 1080p... so, in 2020 AMD will dominate the entire market, low, middle, high end and professional markets. Now, only fanatics will buy any cpu from Intel... when the 10980x hits the market at USD 1K this 3950x will be at USD 600.
AMD now is a uncontrollabe monster. Thank you very much AMD to bring to us great CPUs with great prices. I am now with a 3600 4.2 all cores and I am very pleased with the entire PC perfomance, and paid only USD 195 for this.
To finish, to Intel just rest one thing.... change Everthing very Fast or will see a collapse marketshare.

hey everyone I'm back from Borderlands 3 testing..and the least you can say is that the game doesn't care one bit about cpu clockspeed
I have a 1080Ti, don't mind the actual fps number I have a ton of crap running in the background and some unsolved HW problems also it's my personal game settings
9900k - cpu clock 5.1Ghz - north bridge clock 4.8Ghz
- FramesPerSecondAvg: 84.15
- FrameTimeMsAvg: 11.88
9900k - cpu clock 4.2Ghz - north bridge clock 3.9Ghz
- FramesPerSecondAvg: 83.75
- FrameTimeMsAvg: 11.94
good example of a game that doesn't care about cpu clock or is limited by the GPU more than the cpu -0.30fps with -900Mhz core clock !
after that don't say I'm an Intel fanboy I'm not doing the 9900k any favor here lol
Good analysis!
+1
Storywise, a bit like rtx 2000 cards revealed @$1200 where only a handful number of games used that technology....and whooops....3000 series coming soon.....

It sounds ridiculous but similar stuff already happened with the phone SoCs - where manufacturers would create custom profiles to for the SoC to run unthrottled for benchmarks but in actual applications they'd never hit the marketed frequency.
Didn't I write somewhere once on Guru3d forums that the "up to" marketing was annoying me because it reminded me of the "VW scandal" where they ran different parameters when a "benchmarking" cycle was detected ?
Mercedes also made an oopsie with EuroNCAP safety tests where the belt pre-tensioning while 5/5 stars at the test speed would crush your internal organs and pretty much kill you if the impact was at 80+kph.
With the "good old" Intel behavior at least you had a fixed number you could rely on, now it's complicated

I mean some definitely hit the numbers but some don't. My 3900x doesn't. At what point does the marketing become misleading? Let's say 1/40 samples AMD ships hits 5ghz. Would everyone be fine with AMD saying "Up to 5 ghz turbo" ? What if it was 1/100? What if it was 1/1000?
