AMD Ryzen

Excerpt:

We’ve had the AMD Ryzen™ 9 9900X 12-Core, 24-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor in our hands for a while now, and it’s lived up to its “unlocked” promise with impressive performance. The quad-core, 12PCORE architecture coupled with 24Precision offers a notable uplift in multitasking and creative workloads. Our tests show it handles demanding tasks with ease, balancing power and efficiency. The unlocked multiplier also gives us flexibility to tweak and optimize, a welcome feature for enthusiasts. Whether we’re compiling code, rendering footage, or gaming, the Ryzen 9 9900X delivers smooth, responsive results. The BIOS is straightforward, and the cooling performance, though we recommend a high-quality cooler, remains solid. So far, we’re impressed by the value and workstation capabilities of this chip. It’s more than ready for today’s CPU showdown.
