AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D
Ryzen 9000
The do-everything flagship: 16 cores for rendering and compiling plus 3D V-Cache on one chiplet, so it sits with the fastest gaming chips and is as quick as the plain 9950X in work. Worth it if you game and create on one machine; a pure gamer gets nearly the same frame rates from a Ryzen 7 X3D for far less. Wants a 360 mm cooler and a high-end graphics card to show what it does.
