This YouTube video reviews the AMD Zen 5 9950x3D CPU, highlighting its performance for both gaming and productivity.
Here are the key takeaways:
* Performance Leader: The 9950x3D outperforms the Intel Core Ultra 285k in both gaming and productivity tasks. This is attributed to design improvements and optimizations made by AMD after observing Intel's 285k release.
* Innovative Chiplet Design: The CPU utilizes a dual-chiplet design, combining a V-cache chiplet for gaming and a frequency-optimized chiplet for high clock speeds.
* Benchmark Dominance: The 9950x3D excels in various benchmarks, including Geekbench 6, CPU-Z, Cinebench R23 and R24, and consistently outperforms the Intel 285k, especially in gaming at 1080p and 1440p resolutions.
* Gaming Prowess: The CPU delivers high frame rates in games like Cyberpunk 2077 and demonstrates a significant performance advantage in ray tracing compared to the 285k. It also shows improvements in strategy games like Stellaris.
* Productivity Capabilities: The system remains stable under heavy productivity workloads like Blender rendering and achieves excellent scores in PugetBench.
* Memory Optimization: DDR5 6000 CL28 memory is recommended as the optimal balance for cost and performance.
* Real-World Performance Considerations: "AMD dip" issues are often linked to power management and core scheduling, which can be mitigated by setting the power plan to "Balanced".
* Operating System and Driver Improvements: Windows 24H2 and updated chipset drivers enhance core scheduling and performance for both AMD and Intel platforms.
* Power Efficiency and Compatibility: The 9950x3D offers lower power consumption and memory latency and performs well even with less expensive motherboards.
In conclusion, the reviewer positions the AMD 9950x3D as the top-tier, no-compromise desktop CPU for users seeking exceptional gaming and productivity performance, surpassing the Intel Core Ultra 285k in most tested scenarios.

zerorating potatolala fantasy1989

stock 96 bucks

still 5x of INTC

we vest our RSU at high price

so now technically rugi



and higher price with lesser unit vs cheaper but more unit is same

AMD Ryzen now really better than Intel? Unker used to support Intel masa dulu, due to AMD always panas. Now change mindset.

9950X3D >>> Core Ultra9 285k

M4A1 should buy this instead of Core Ultra9

Even without this intel already GG due to poor performance and bricking of 13 and 14th gen....

I rarely see 6000Mhz CL28 sold locally, some sellers don't even advertise the cas latency

9070xt also a win over Nvidia the past week

unbelievable negative sentiment on their stocks

AMD is a much smaller player in the field compared to Intel and Nvidia.

i intel fan leh

not AMD fan

don't be a fan.

too used to Intel and Nvidia

sorry la amd branding make me still feel cacat on amd overheat
i know...that is long time ago story but...too bad

Never loyal to brand, but loyal to the value they can bring

U see Intel nowadays, sohai cuntpany that 14th gen chips got problem also they buat bodo. If it wasn't reviewers kept fuxking them over they won't even acknowledge the issue. But the good side is, they still never compensate anything haha

enjoy allocating CCD via windows....

imma not fan of any chipset...asal performance/price is great, but if stability and thermal issues...straight go down the bin.

performance definitely

but wait a bit before try to get. Recently asrock mobos cooked some 9800x3ds lel, let ppl jadi guinea pig dulu

enable pbo2... whola
