Ryzen 9 9900X Spec and Price in the United Kingdom
Released August 15, 2024 ·
A step down from the 9950X in core count but not in per-core clock: twelve Zen 5 cores reach the same 64MB of L3 cache at up to 5.6GHz boost, inside a considerably lighter 120W TDP. That balance of high clocks and moderate power draw suits gaming and mixed creator work nearly as well as the flagship, at a lower thermal and cost ceiling. No cooler is included, so budget for one separately.
Tied 10th of 65 models in the CPU catalog on Boost clock — 7 models share this figure. Tied 17th of 65 models in the CPU catalog on L3 cache — 7 models share this figure.

What owners and reviewers say
Summarised from 1 source(s), reviewed September 13, 2026. A source is counted only where it names this model exactly. How we track prices
Commonly praised
- Excellent multi-threaded performance with class-leading single-core speed and great efficiency.
- Supports a wide instruction set and does not demand an expensive cooler.
Commonly criticised
- The asking price fails to impress, gaming performance has not improved over the previous generation, and similarly priced chips beat it.
