Easy to install and works great with windows 11.

High productivity with good power consumption. Plenty of cores/threads for gaming and productivity.


Always been a fan of AMD. This processor does not disappoint. Graphic performance is superb for my purposes as I am not a gamer.

If you dont like to go into your motherboard, set the proper settings for your CPU and do various software things like Xbox Game Bar and ext. If you think you only need to run the chipset drivers and memory exp timings in the motherboard, then the 9950X3D2 is for you.

Amazing CPU, it does about anything I need it to do. I don't play many games but it does just fine with ATS, ETS2, FS22, GTA V, and others. From testing it seems like the CPU is no longer the bottleneck and I can upgrade the GPU again later. Easy upgrade path to i5/i7/i9 later down the road.

Awesome speeds for 65 watts! No need for liquid cooling; wraith cooler is near silent.


The Devil's Canyon CPU's stock clock is 4.0 ghz, and ramps up to 4.4 ghz when needed (turbo mode), then when not needed goes back to 4.0 ghz., all with a full warranty. This to me is a near-ideal combination of energy efficiency and processing power. There is no need to OC, unless you want to squeeze out every mhz. I was waiting for Broadwell, but my guess is that Broadwell will be all about a 30% power savings (which I very much covet), and may not offer much in the way of extra performance to the average enthusiast

Great cpu from Intel as usual. Very fast...Lamborghini fast! Enough said.
