Overview
Sixteen Zen 5 cores with one cache-stacked CCD and 128MB of total L3, the current do-everything AM5 flagship at a 170W ceiling and 5.7GHz boost. It games within a hair of the 9800X3D while adding twice the threads for rendering and compiles. You pay a heavy premium for that overlap, worth it only if you genuinely do both.

- Greg A.Feb 3, 2026Replaced a threadripper for my workstation
For mixed CAD and occasional gaming this is ideal. Idle scheduling occasionally sends a game to the wrong CCD but a reboot sorts it.
- Lena D.Dec 1, 2025Flagship price, flagship results
No notes on performance. Just be honest with yourself about whether you need both the cores and the cache before spending this much.
- Yuki S.Sep 30, 2025Excellent but you pay for it
16 cores with V-cache is the do-everything chip, but at 170W you want a 360 AIO minimum. Runs hot in all-core Cinebench, low 90s.
- Nathan F.Jun 12, 2025Games and renders without compromise
The stacked-cache CCD handles games while the second CCD chews through Blender. The chipset driver parking works better than it did on the 7950X3D.
