Base clock speed: 3.5GHz

Max boost clock speed: 4.7GHz

Total L1 / L2 / L3 cache: 1MB / 8MB / 64MB

Maximum supported RAM speed: DDR4-2666 to DDR4-3200 (depending on number and type of module)

Availability AMD is making the Ryzen 9 3950X available for sale starting November 25th, and we have already qualified it for use in our product line. The supply of brand-new hardware is often limited when it launches, but we fully intend to offer this CPU in our workstations as soon as we are able. Check back regularly for news of other upcoming product announcements and additional performance reviews.
