The Ryzen 9 9950X is a 16-core/32-thread processor for PC enthusiasts and gamers looking for the highest AAA gaming experiences, as well as the highest multithreaded productivity, unless their use-case demands workstation hardware. All 16 cores are full-sized Zen 5, capable of reaching high boost frequencies. The Ryzen 9 9950X uses two CCDs for a total of 16 cores (32 threads), with a base frequency of 4.3 GHz and a turbo frequency of up to 5.7 GHz; this is similar to the previous Zen 4 based Ryzen 9 7950X, which also has a max boost clock of up to 5.7 GHz. The Ryzen 9 9950X also has 64 MB of L3 cache (32 MB per CCD), with a 170 Watt TDP. The Ryzen 9 9950X shines with its 16 cores of Zen 5 in intensive multi-threaded workloads, which shows the flagship Zen 5 chip in the best light. Another area where Zen 5 shines in single-threaded performance is when an AVX workload is present, as AMD now has a full 512-bit SIMD for AVX-512 workloads, which is something the rest of the competition doesn't have
