AMD Ryzen 9 9900X 4.4GHz Processor 12 Core for Socket AM5 in Box

Key features:

  • Zen 5 Microarchitecture
  • 24 Threads
  • Maximum Frequency 5.6 GHz
  • Unlocked
  • Thermal Design Power (TDP) 120 W
See full description

  • CPU Speed

    The speed at which the processor operates in everyday use.

    During the execution of demanding applications (e.g. games), the frequency may automatically increase up to the Maximum Processor Frequency.

  • Cores

    The natural individual processing units that the processor has. The more cores a processor has, the more efficient it is in running multiple applications simultaneously. For simple use, 4 cores are sufficient, while for gaming and video processing, at least 6 are recommended.

  • Socket

    The processor socket type.

    The motherboard we choose should have the same socket in order for the processor to "fit in".

  • Maximum CPU Speed

    The maximum processor frequency is the frequency that the processor can reach when executing demanding applications that use one core. Generally, when running demanding applications (e.g. games), the frequency can automatically increase up to the Maximum Processor Frequency depending on the number of cores in use. (the fewer cores are active, the closer they can operate to the maximum frequency)

  • Unlocked

    Ability to change the processor clock settings to achieve higher operating frequency (overclocking).

  • Cache Memory

    Cache is a very fast memory that acts as an intermediary between the processor and RAM. It stores data that is frequently useful to the processor for faster access.

Based on AMD's advanced architecture, it combines energy efficiency with powerful performance, making it an excellent choice for building a powerful gaming PC or a professional workstation.

Comparison with the Previous Generation

The new AMD Ryzen 9000 Series processors utilize the established Socket AM5 and are compatible with all existing AM5 motherboards, based on the new Zen 5 architecture. This architecture ensures increased IPC performance (Instructions per Clock) by up to 16% compared to the processors of the Zen 4 architecture.

Next-level power

Break down every barrier standing between you and victory with the raw power and performance of AMD Ryzen™ 9000 Series processors. Herald the dawn of a new era with AMD's latest Zen 5 architecture, the key to unlocking unprecedented levels of processing power. With Zen 5, AMD achieved significant improvements in branch prediction accuracy and latency, while also expanding pipelines and vectors for increased throughput. The result is a substantial boost in single-threaded IPC, with an increase of ~16% compared to the previous generation.

Built to last

The future of gaming is yours with the groundbreaking platform that can grow with you. The AMD Ryzen™ 9000 Series processors are ready for the future with lightning-fast DDR5 memory speeds and incredible bandwidth with outstanding PCIe® 5.0 support. Additionally, only AMD promises upgradeability for years, so you can make the most of your AM5 platform. Buckle up, because with AMD Ryzen™ processors, unstoppable victory awaits you.

AI-ready

Unlock the full potential of your computer with AMD Ryzen™ processors that are ready for artificial intelligence. Bring gaming speed to every element of your setup with built-in AI acceleration and enhanced AI capabilities for productivity and content creation. Want to supercharge AI enhancements? Pair AMD Ryzen™ 9000 Series processors with Radeon™ RX 7000 Series graphics cards to experience ultimate performance.

    Once the 9900X was installed on a B850 Asus Strix motherboard with DDR5-64Gb memory, it was time for measurements and opinions!

    REVIEW- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lhYMspBYFU&t=315s

    With the 9900X, we kept the cores/threads as high as possible for productivity reasons and simply lost about 10% in gaming performance compared to the X3D. Otherwise, it works perfectly—and the purchase was worth it!

    This particular processor is paired with the 5070 and in no game or task does it have any issues. In 4K gaming in titles from 2 years ago, I get a steady 60+ fps. But obviously, this processor is not made just for gaming. It's for much more. I haven't managed to use it above 40%-45% except in some benchmarks

    the processor has extreme performance for the price. The only negative and at the same time the reason I give 4 stars has to do with the shipping, as the processor came loosely wrapped in a piece of pink foam, which is unacceptable.

    It is awesome especially if you mainly want multitasking and multiple programs running at the same time. If you want compatibility with most programs and especially the older ones, choose Intel, you will just consume more power ⚡. It hasn't struggled anywhere or with anything
