The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X processor is built on the advanced 7-nanometer Zen 3 architecture. With 16 cores, 64MB cache, 3.40GHz base and 4.90GHz boost, it's one of the best processors whatever the application - in the most demanding PC games, high-resolution RAW photography, 1080p, 4K and even 8K video processing, 3D modelling and rendering, the Ryzen 5950X dominates, giving users the maximum possible performance for the right price.
The new "Zen 3" microarchitecture Ryzen 5000 series processors have achieved a significant 19% increase in IPC (instructions per cycle) over the Ryzen 3000 series "Zen 2" processors.
The remarkable 19% increase has enabled Zen 3 to become not only the fastest AMD CPU core to date, but also to surpass Intel in performance for the first time in more than 10 years, and by a considerable margin. In the CineBench R20Single Thread test, Ryzen 9 5950X is 92 points or 17% ahead of Intel's currently most powerful Core i9-10900K processor, demonstrating the technological progress and superiority of AMD's processor and the entire "Zen 3" product line.
In the multi-core test, the 16-core Ryzen 9 5950X' s superiority is even more impressive, with the 10-core Core i9-10900K trailing at 37 percent. This means that the most powerful AM4 processor will perform the same task in at least a third less time than Intel's current best LGA1200 model.
TheAMD Ryzen 9 5950X is an excellent processor for photo and video processing tasks, as confirmed by PugetSystems ' performance tests in the popular Adobe Photoshop and Efter Effects applications. The results speak for themselves - the AM4 platform processor outperforms Intel's extreme platform 14-core Core i9-10940X by 37 and 38 percent respectively.
High power efficiency and Zen 3 technological innovations enable the Ryzen 9 5950X to reach a boost frequency of 4.90GHz, which, combined with a powerful video card, is a key factor for good performance in PC gaming. In tests conducted by TechSpot at 1080p resolution using the powerful GeForce RTX 3090 video card, AMD Ryzen 9 5950X was found to be the most powerful gaming processor in 11 games!
We recommend watching this video to see how the 16-core Ryzen 9 5950X performs in the most popular PC games at 4K resolution, and exactly how much more powerful it is than Ryzen 9 5900X and Ryzen 5 5600X with a GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card installed .
