Ryzen 9 7950X Spec and Price in Italy

AM516 cores / 32 threads

Released September 27, 2022 ·

The original Zen 4 flagship on AM5: sixteen cores and 32 threads reach a 5.7GHz boost clock from a 4.5GHz base, backed by 64MB of L3 cache inside a 170W TDP. PCIe 5.0 and DDR5-5200 memory support round out the platform, and the chip ships unlocked but without a bundled cooler. It suits heavy multi-core work like rendering and compilation more than a tight gaming budget.

Tied 5th of 65 models in the CPU catalog on Boost clock — 5 models share this figure. Tied 17th of 65 models in the CPU catalog on L3 cache — 7 models share this figure.

Guides for this category

How to choose a desktop CPUA chip's socket decides what it can go into; cores, cache and TDP decide what you actually get once it's installed.How many CPU cores you actually needWhy more cores is not more speed, how gaming and productivity ask for cores differently, and why a core count alone never ranks two chips.When a CPU price is actually goodWhy a chip's list price and discount percentage tell you little, what a processor's price does over its life, and how to read its tracked history.Laptop CPU vs desktop CPUA mobile chip with the same core count is not the same processor — what the power envelope changes, and why these parts carry no price.
