➀ ASUS showcased the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X processor passively cooled with a Noctua cooler in the ASUS ProArt chassis, running at 95°C under 220W load; ➁ The ProArt series is designed for quieter operation with wooden aesthetics; ➂ While not recommended for the Ryzen 9 9950X, passive cooling is suitable for lower-power processors like the Ryzen 7 9800X3D.

➀ ASUS overclockers SAFEDISK and ELMOR set new world records with the ROG CROSSHAIR X870E HERO and AMD Ryzen 9 9950X CPU; ➁ The overclocking achievement reached 7.55 GHz with liquid nitrogen cooling; ➂ The system was stable at 7548.68 MHz and performed complex tasks.

➀ The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X is a 16-core/32-thread processor built on the Zen 5 architecture, promising a 16% generational IPC gain. ➁ It features a 4 nm TSMC N4P node for CPU core complex dies (CCDs) and a 6 nm client I/O die (cIOD) from the Ryzen 7000 series. ➂ Priced at $650, it competes with Intel's Core i9-14900K and faces competition from AMD's own Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

1. AMD's next-gen Ryzen 9 9950X, based on Zen 5 architecture, was tested in AIDA64 with DDR5-8000 memory, showing up to 45% performance improvement over the Zen 4-based Ryzen 9 7950X. 2. The 9950X features 16 cores, 32 threads, and a boost clock of up to 5.7GHz, matching the 7950X. 3. Benchmarks in AES, FP32, and FP64 workloads demonstrate significant performance gains for the 9950X over both the 7950X and Intel's Core i9-13900K.
