AMD's current flagship AM5 processor, the Ryzen 9 9950X, has hit a new all-time low price. If you plan to build a desktop PC with the best processor that AMD currently has to offer for the AM5 socket, check out this CPU on Amazon and save $55.
The Ryzen 9 9950X is a 16-core, 32-thread desktop chip for AM5 motherboards. It is based on the latest Zen5 architecture and operates at speeds of up to 5.7 GHz Max Boost. Also, you can overclock it beyond the default specs if you have a powerful cooling solution, such as a beefy AIO (note that the processor does not come with a fan in the box, and AMD recommends liquid cooling).
The processor also has 64 MB of L3 cache, PCIe Gen 5, and supports DDR5-5600 memory. It also has integrated Radeon graphics, which means you can use it without a discrete graphics card (convenient if you need to troubleshoot your GPU or you wait for a new one to arrive).
Here is a brief rundown of the Ryzen 9 9950X specs:
| Platform | Core Count | Clocks | Unlocked | Cache | Memory | Graphics | TDP | |
