AI Summary
AMD’s Ryzen 9 9950X3D delivers elite desktop performance with 16C/32T, Zen 5 efficiency, and 3D V-Cache, posting a leading PassMark 70253. At $699, it outpaces the similarly priced Intel Core i9-14900KS and even the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K in aggregate throughput. It’s ideal for high-refresh gaming and heavy creator workloads on AM5.
Pros
- Class-leading PassMark 70253 for 16-core desktop at $699
- Strong value vs Intel Core i9-14900KS ($689, 64530)
- Beats Intel Core Ultra 9 285K (67735) in overall throughput
- AM5 platform with integrated Radeon Graphics for basic display support
Cons
- High 170W TDP demands robust cooling and PSU
- Premium price vs capable options like AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D ($599)
- No third‑party gaming results provided to validate 3D V‑Cache gains
- Non‑X3D Ryzen 9 9950X is cheaper ($649) and close in PassMark (66028)
