General info
1.Supports 64-bit
✔AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
A 32-bit operating system can only support up to 4GB of RAM. 64-bit allows more than 4GB, giving increased performance. It also allows you to run 64-bit apps.
Small semiconductors provide better performance and reduced power consumption. Chipsets with a higher number of transistors, semiconductor components of electronic devices, offer more computational power. A small form factor allows more transistors to fit on a chip, therefore increasing its performance.
3.GPU clock speed
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The graphics processing unit (GPU) has a higher clock speed.
The thermal design power (TDP) is the maximum amount of power the cooling system needs to dissipate. A lower TDP typically means that it consumes less power.
If the CPU exceeds the maximum operating temperature then problems such as random resets can occur.
Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) is a high-speed interface standard for connecting components, such as graphics cards and SSDs, to a motherboard. Newer versions can support more bandwidth and deliver better performance.
7.DirectX version
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
DirectX is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.
8.number of transistors
19200 million
A higher transistor count generally indicates a newer, more powerful processor.
9.OpenGL version
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
OpenGL is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.
Performance
1.CPU speed
16 x 3.4GHz
The CPU speed indicates how many processing cycles per second can be executed by a CPU, considering all of its cores (processing units). It is calculated by adding the clock rates of each core or, in the case of multi-core processors employing different microarchitectures, of each group of cores.
More threads result in faster performance and better multitasking.
3.L2 cache
8MB
A larger L2 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.
4.turbo clock speed
4.9GHz
When the CPU is running below its limitations, it can boost to a higher clock speed in order to give increased performance.
5.L3 cache
64MB
A larger L3 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.
6.L1 cache
1024KB
A larger L1 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.
7.L2 core
0.5MB/core
More data can be stored in the L2 cache for access by each core of the CPU.
8.Has an unlocked multiplier
✔AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
Some processors come with an unlocked multiplier which makes them easy to overclock, allowing you to gain increased performance in games and other apps.
9.L3 core
4MB/core
More data can be stored in the L3 cache for access by each core of the CPU.
Memory
1.RAM speed
3200MHz
It can support faster memory, which will give quicker system performance.
2.maximum memory bandwidth
47.68GB/s
This is the maximum rate that data can be read from or stored into memory.
More memory channels increases the speed of data transfer between the memory and the CPU.
The maximum amount of memory (RAM) supported.
5.Supports ECC memory
✔AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
Error-correcting code memory can detect and correct data corruption. It is used when is it essential to avoid corruption, such as scientific computing or when running a server.
6.bus transfer rate
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The bus is responsible for transferring data between different components of a computer or device.
DDR (Double Data Rate) memory is the most common type of RAM. Newer versions of DDR memory support higher maximum speeds and are more energy-efficient.
8.eMMC version
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
A higher version of eMMC allows faster memory interfaces, having a positive effect on the performance of a device. For example, when transferring files from your computer to the internal storage over USB.
9.bus speed
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The bus is responsible for transferring data between different components of a computer or device.
Features
1.Has AES
✔AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
AES is used to speed up encryption and decryption.
2.Has AVX
✔AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
AVX is used to help speed up calculations in multimedia, scientific and financial apps, as well as improving Linux RAID software performance.
3.uses multithreading
✔AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
Multithreading technology (such as Intel's Hyperthreading or AMD's Simultaneous Multithreading) provides increased performance by splitting each of the processor's physical cores into virtual cores, also known as threads. This way, each core can run two instruction streams at once.
SSE is used to speed up multimedia tasks such as editing an image or adjusting audio volume. Each new version contains new instructions and improvements.
5.Has F16C
✔AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
F16C is used to speed up tasks such as adjusting the contrast of an image or adjusting volume.
6.bits executed at a time
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
NEON provides acceleration for media processing, such as listening to MP3s.
7.Has MMX
✔AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
MMX is used to speed up tasks such as adjusting the contrast of an image or adjusting volume.
8.Has TrustZone
✖AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
A technology integrated into the processor to secure the device for use with features such as mobile payments and streaming video using digital rights management (DRM).
9.front-end width
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The CPU can decode more instructions per clock (IPC), meaning that the CPU performs better

tem gente que disse que prefere o triedriper fala serio o triedriper aquece demais pelo seu tamanho e muito caro as peças cara a não ser se voce tiver o melhor water cooler que exista alem disso me fala voce presiza de 64 nucleos eu não gosto tanto desse processador pois podia ter maior clock ja que e o carro chefe da amd
