Description

Description

Made with 7nm architecture, the 16 cores of the processor enhance multitasking. AMD SenseMI technology learns and adapts to your daily life to provide you with true core performance no matter what you do. Equipped with an unlocked multiplier, it allows you to push its performance to the extreme, increasing the clock speed from 3.5GHz to 4.7GHz.

The processor does not have an integrated graphics card. This means that in order to have a display output, you will need to use an additional discrete graphics card, which will be connected to the system's motherboard via the appropriate slot, such as PCIe (PCI Express).

AMD StoreMI Technology

Software that combines the speed of SSD with the capacity of HDD. With Store MI, the two independent storage media create a unified Drive that, with our software's intelligent management, provides incredible advantages resulting in cost savings.

If you have an AMD X399, 400, or 500 series chipset, you can download the free AMD StoreMI software.

Optimized for liquid cooling

Connect the AMD Ryzen processor to a liquid cooling system for increased performance. Water has high thermal conductivity, which means it absorbs heat much more easily, even from the air. Therefore, it is a better way to cool the system.

SenseMI Technology

The SenseMI technology from AMD is a set of learning and adaptation features that help the AMD Ryzen processor adjust its performance to you and your applications thanks to machine intelligence (MI).

AMD GameCache

More On-Chip memory for accelerated Gaming

Up to double the temporary memory (cache) of previous generations, GameCache is designed to reduce memory latency for higher frame rates in top titles.

Precision Boost 2

Boost performance when you need it

The AMD Ryzen processors monitor power consumption and temperature. The processor can increase clock speeds in precise 25 MHz steps for any application without interrupting work.

AMD Ryzen Master Utility

The AMD Ryzen Master technology provides up to four profiles for storing user-defined custom configurations for both the CPU and the integrated Radeon Vega graphics and DDR4 memory. You can adjust active cores, integrated graphics frequency, and memory timings to optimize overall performance or fine-tune settings for your favorite applications.

AMD Ryzen™ 3000

The AMD Ryzen™ 3000 processors are the world's first processors with support for the PCIe 4.0 standard, as well as compatibility with AMD's new X570 chipset, offering a larger communication bus and unmatched performance with the most advanced motherboards, graphics cards, and storage devices on the market. They are also compatible with older generations of motherboards, offering new capabilities and value to your investment.

    Specifically, this processor is aimed almost exclusively at people who use programs that utilize multiple cores and not for gaming. Perhaps in the coming years, games will require more cores, but still, this particular processor will lag behind in terms of performance compared to others. The money it costs is representative of its power for 2020 and 2021, given that the corresponding next-generation, 5950, costs around 1000 euros (still a good deal, of course).

    Finally, it definitely needs a good air cooling for the hundred-watt and certainly not a good water cooling, which after some years there is a serious possibility of leaking water into the system as we have seen and read several examples. Especially when it comes to the work PC. That's my opinion

    Maybe the best card on the market with this humble price. Because when we talk about value for money, I think it should cost around 1100. Possibly even better performance than the i9 extreme edition. Really... it reaches 200+ fps on 4k games. My build is r9 3950xx titan rtx 32 gb ram 3400mhz 1 tb ssd 1000w corsair and 4 tb hdd. Combined with b450 gaming plus

    Abundant power for all the tasks you could run.
    In addition to the strongest rendering on a consumer CPU/motherboard, it has very low power consumption.
    What will you do with 16/32 cores on a consumer PC?
    1-Windows 10 as the main boot on 10/20 cores for demanding tasks such as rendering, photo editing, and gaming.
    2-Virtual Machine Windows 10 on 2/4 cores for downloads and safe installations.
    3-Virtual Machine Windows 10 for continuous streaming on 4/8 cores and for programming tests.

    With 2 graphics cards, you have 2 powerful PCs in one tower with 8/16 cores and 2X pcix 4.0, mm2 SSD, 32GB DDR4 3200. One can be dedicated to gaming while the other handles your work effortlessly.

    On a mid-range motherboard 570X costing 200€, with 2X M2 SSD SAMSUNG 970 PLUS NVME, 2 HDD 2TB, 32GB DDR4 3200, and 2 Nvidia 1660 GPUs. Total cost is 1800 euros and upgradable for the next 5 years.

    There are no words to describe this pleasant technological resurgence of AMD.
    The final benefit is for us consumers, who now have processing power that 5-10 years ago could only be found in research centers.

    Excellent in ALL workloads, which in my case are cryptocurrency mining and rendering.

    Improved memory management that the 2nd generation Threadripper lacked, with reduced latency, proper temperatures, and power consumption from 16 cores with idle temperatures that you would find 2 years ago in 4 cores.

    I recommend it with liquid cooling for better single core boost... and of course, with PBO enabled, pay attention to the infinity fabric and proper memory tuning with as low timings as possible.
    3600cl 16 or 3200 cl14 even better.

    I had the 9900K@5Ghz on all cores. With the 3950X, besides the CPU usage dropping below 30%, in video rendering, almost double the speed and temperatures -5c lower from stock to stock
