AMD Ryzen 9 9950X CPU Review & Benchmarks vs. 7950X, 9700X, 14900K, & More

Sponsor: Hyte Y70 Case on Amazon The AMD R9 9950X (R9) CPU’s release date is August 15, 2024, and this review and benchmark tests the new CPU vs. the R9 7950X, the R7 7800X3D, the R7 9700X, and more. Intel comparisons include the 14900K and 14700K, and we hope to soon evaluate Intel’s new microcode. The R9 9950X will be joined shortly by the R9 9900X CPU, which will be launching on the same day. Although the 9950X is one of the best CPUs for workstation applications right now, the R7 7800X3D remains the best overall gaming PC CPU for 2024.
