Review: Great power at a great price! - The 2950x is a great CPU at a much better value than the 1950x. The only complaint is that it’s not “easy” to get it to boost to the 4.4ghz advertised single core boost clock in some cases. All in all though, this chip is fast enough, very powerful, and much less power hungry than the previous generation. It performs especially well in both workstation workloads, and gaming applications where you’re gaming, and streaming from a single machine. Further Nerd stuff regarding 4.4ghz boost clock: You will need a good motherboard with a really strong VRM. While the gen 1 TR motherboards will work, it’s better to use some of the x399 boards that were released specifically for the ThreadRipper 2000 series CPUs. In the “overclocking” software Ryzen Master there are 3 factors which the system uses to determine how high to boost the chip. These are all related to how much power the CPU can get. EDC specifically is related to how many amps the motherboard can provide to the chip, and is more often than not the limiting factor. Without a really good motherboard you’ll have to optimize power distribution to things like your memory, and power settings to allow the board to underclock other cores to get it to hit the 4.4ghz single core. Review: Surpisingly good in 2020. - I enabled PBO and observed the CPU's behavior in HW monitor with great interest. All 16 cores will boost to 4.4 GHz individually, and all together have boosted to 4.24 GHz. That was not commonly happening when this CPU was first released and reviewed, and I wonder if this one is just better, or if all the more recently built ones are better silicon overall. I noticed that under a moderate load, the temps hold at about 51 degrees, and under a heavy boost, temps go into the low 60s before the fans spool up and drive them back into the 50s. That's impressive considering I am using a round AIO cooler that doesn't even cover the entire IHS. Looking at the PBO constraints, I find that the limiting factor thus far is not temperature at all but voltage. This makes me wonder if I can undervolt and obtain the 200MHz offset for 4.6 GHz. Not that this really matters, its just a fun and interesting thing to check out. What does matter is that I came from a 1900X, and I am kind of shocked by the difference. Dota2 saw a 22% increase in FPS, and I'm not exactly sure why. Other games it made no difference. I think some games suffered from the first gen TR scheduling, though the 1900X certainly did far better in games than I expected. Interacting with gigantic folders of images in windows is completely different with double the cores. 32 threads is more than enough most of the time for me. I checked. Even with my "leave everything up when I take a brake to game" use case, I still found that 4 to 6 of the 32 threads weren't being used. On the other hand, when you do a batch file conversion, its pretty cool that programs use all available resources. I'm glad I was able to get one of these before they disappear. I have an enormous amount of storage with the x399 NVME setup and I don't really feel like building a new system yet. This is a nice stopgap, though I wish the 3960X was a 16 core that fit in X399. I'm not sure that anyone should get this, except if you currently have a 1900x or 1920x, or if you can find a great deal on all the hardware and absolutely need the I/O. Otherwise X570 with 3950X is the way to go. ## Features - 16 Cores and 32 Processing Threads, Updated with 2nd Gen Ryzen Technology Advancements - Incredible 4.4 GHz Max Boost Frequency, with a huge 40MB Cache - Unlocked, with automatic overclocking via the new Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) feature - Quad-Channel DDR4 and 64 PCIe lanes, the most bandwidth and I/O you can get on Desktop Processor - 180W TDP, CPU Cooler Not Included ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07GFN6CVF | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,090 in Computer CPU Processors | | Brand | AMD | | Color | Clear | | Computer Memory Type | DDR4 SDRAM | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (306) | | Date First Available | August 31, 2018 | | Hardware Platform | PC;Unix;Linux | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 3.1 x 2.2 x 0.3 inches | | Item Weight | 4.8 ounces | | Item model number | 116594 | | Manufacturer | AMD | | Number of Processors | 16 | | Processor | 4.4 GHz amd_fx | | Processor Brand | AMD | | Product Dimensions | 3.1 x 2.2 x 0.3 inches | | Wireless Type | Bluetooth | ## Product Details - **Brand:** AMD - **CPU Manufacturer:** AMD - **CPU Model:** AMD FX - **CPU Socket:** Socket AM3 - **CPU Speed:** 4.4 GHz ## Images ![Ryzen Threadripper 2950X Processor (YD295XA8AFWOF) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61y2c1uhuAL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: It is a good deal working with it for rendering and virtual walkthrough?** A: We did a lot of encoding and rendering testing here. https://www.hardocp.com/article/2018/08/13/amd_ryzen_threadripper_2990wx_2950x_cpu_review/3 We compare it to the 2990WX and Intel 7900X and 7980XE as well. I am buying a 2950X for my own machine now, that is why I saw your question. :) **Q: Hi, Can anyone share the packaging dimensions of the product?** A: Package shown is about 12 x 8 x 4.5 **Q: is this realy overclockable to -lets say- 4.5 GHz ???** A: Absolutely not. The voltages needed for that will annihilate the chip in HOURS, unless you're running a peltier, dry ice, or LN2. Even a water chiller running at near freezing temps will probably only get you to 4.2GHz safely. Unlike with 1st gen Ryzen AMD has not given a max safe voltage for 2nd gen. Really, there is NO "max safe voltage," it's a "max safe voltage @ a certain temperature." PBO already knows those limits so don't even bother with a manual OC unless you're running sub-zero cooling. I, and a lot of others have experienced how Ryzen 2nd gen degrades first hand: https://www.reddit.com/r/overclocking/comments/amtnt4/ryzen_generation_2_safeunsafe_voltages_tested/ Do NOT trust techtubers and review sites that just build the pc, run some benchmarks at 4.2GHz/1.4v+ and tear it down a few days later. **Q: Will this work in a asus rog strix x470-f mb?** A: No that's a am4 socket. Threadripper is a tr4 socket. Your looking for a motherboard with a x399 chipset. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great power at a great price! *by N***R on December 12, 2018* The 2950x is a great CPU at a much better value than the 1950x.

I would NOT recommend buying at the current price (~980$). First off, this is not a gaming CPU; it is built for higher-end workstation tasks such as rendering and CAD functionality. Still, a TR2950X will absolutely run circles around most games, even the latest ones, and only use a little more power than it usually does. It also doesn't use that much at idle, maybe about 42-45W, for such a massive piece of hardware. My GPU seems to use more than that just for idle. Main issues might be one of the expense for the equipment needed to match this monster. TR4 socket motherboards are pricier than the standard AM4 socketed ones, and more RAM to match will also increase the price. Your bottleneck will likely become your GPU unless you are willing to brave the current market (which as of late-June/early-July 2022 is ONLY just beginning to fall to regular levels). I almost never experience slowdown on Windows anymore, and my GPU is currently struggling to keep up with it! Overall its been an incredible upgrade from the FX8320 I used to have, and I expect to get another good decade out of it unless quantum computing takes over suddenly. ## Frequently Bought Together - AMD YD295XA8AFWOF 16 Core/32 Threads Ryzen Threadripper 2950X Processor - Samsung 990 PRO NVMe M.2 SSD, 2 TB, PCIe 4.0, 7,450 MB/s read, 6,900 MB/s write, Internal SSD, For gaming and video editing, MZ-V9P2T0BW - Samsung SSD 870 EVO, 1 TB, Form Factor 2.5 and rdquo;, Intelligent Turbo Write, Magician 6 Software, Black (Internal SSD) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/75432059-ryzen-threadripper-2950x-processor-yd295xa8afwof](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/75432059-ryzen-threadripper-2950x-processor-yd295xa8afwof) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
