DO NOT BUY: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 CPU Review & Benchmarks | 24 Charts in 24 Hours

Gamers Nexus just covered the new AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 in a deep-dive performance test, and honestly, the results are pretty wild. They ran the CPU through 24 different benchmarks to see if that $889 price tag actually holds up against the rest of the market, including the Ryzen 7 9800X3D and Intel’s Core Ultra 7 265K and 9 285K. It’s an interesting look at why the chip struggles to justify its cost when compared to alternatives like the 7800X3D. They even threw in some Arctic MX-7 thermal paste for the testing process, providing a look at everything from high-end processors to the small components that keep them running.
