Fastest true 12-core processor. Great for anyone who primarily plays games but also creates content on the side. Very close to the 9950X in single-core boost frequency, meaning it offers nearly the same gaming performance at a lower price. The TDP has been reduced from 170W in the 7900X to just 120W in the new 9900X, making it more energy-efficient. The 9900X also supports 20 PCIe Gen5 lanes through the CPU for both the graphics card and fast NVMe SSDs, satisfying any enthusiast or high-end gamer. When combined with an X670 motherboard or B650/E, it results in a gaming rig with excellent price-performance ratio.
