Review on 16-Core, 32-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor - AMD Ryzen 9 5950X by Mateusz Cieciora ᠌

On the latest BIOS version on X570 Unify and with 3600 CL16 memory, everything started without problems, although quite recently people complained about problems with memory faster than 3200. Apparently the problem has already been solved in the new BIOS. In stock, under the maximum load of all cores, it heated up to 71 degrees under Dark Rock Pro 4 with fans at 50% (with complete silence, in fact). The compilation time of the working draft was reduced to 45 seconds, and the CPU usage was significantly less than 100% instead. For comparison, on the 3500x it was about 70 seconds, and on the old i5 2500 it was 260 seconds or even more. It seems to me a good example of how modern software still often hits the performance of one or more threads without using all available resources. Nevertheless, it is the fastest processor at the moment.
