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

Sponsor: Arctic MX-7 Thermal Paste on Amazon https://geni.us/WbHJ This review of the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 CPU includes benchmarks and comparisons vs. the 9950X3D, 9950X (non-3D), 9800X3D and 9850X3D, and Intel's 270K Plus, alongside about 25-30 other CPUs at various points. In 24 hours, we put together 24 benchmark charts for the 9950X3D2 performance testing. The CPU, while it does perform well, is simply too expensive at $900 when considering it rarely does much of anything (if anything at all) to improve performance. We had one outlier in the results, but other than the OpenFOAM result, everything else is typically 0 to 6% improved (with sometimes no movement at all).
