AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D 16-Core 4.2 GHz Socket AM5 120W Desktop Processor (100-100000908WOF, retail boxed)

About this product

The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D is a 16-core, 32-thread desktop processor for the AM5 socket, built on the Zen 4 architecture with TSMC 5nm FinFET manufacturing and AMD's 3D V-Cache technology. Newegg's listing shows a 4.2 GHz base clock, a 120W rating, 128MB of L3 cache and 16MB of L2 cache, plus integrated AMD Radeon Graphics. This record is the retail-boxed model number 100-100000908WOF.

Who it's for: advanced PC builders, high-refresh gamers and creators who want a high-core-count CPU with large cache. Compatibility: AM5 motherboards only, and the processor ships without a cooler, so a separate cooler is needed. Pricing note: Newegg shows Buy New at $502.36 from a marketplace seller (Global Electronic Treasure Store) against a $548.00 list figure, and a Buy Used option at $439.99; a tray (no retail box) version of the same CPU is listed at $417.35 by another marketplace seller. Treat the new price as marketplace pricing.
