Customer Ratings & Reviews

At first i thought i would regret not dishing out the extra cash for the 7950x, but i couldnt pass up the performanxe of the 7900x at this price point. Actually, I paid $420 for it because I price matched from Amazon (make sure to always compare pricing). At nearly $150 cheaper, this CPU is straight MONEY. Extremely fast and powerful, handles any task i throw at it. Im able to stream at mad settings and game at 1440p max settings with ease, and it seems like this processor doesnt even blink. Its truly amazing how far the technokogy for these processors has come. So with all that said, I think value plus performance wise the 7900x is the way to go. If you want the flag ship go for the 7950x or 7950x3d but understand you’re really spending that extra money to flex on your friends. Its very unlikely you need that much power for just gaming and streaming. The 12 cores in the 7900x really means this processor is able to take on pretty much any task(s) for about 98% of the PC population. Highly recommend.

This is a great CPU in multi-core processing for photo/video editing. Workflow is smooth with no lag and latency. Keep in mind - you'll also need the best SSD, a good amount of memory (recommend 128GB of memory), and a solid GPU if you want the maximum amount of power for post-production work. As far as gaming, the CPU is pretty powerful. Not on par with AMD's X3D line up, but with the right mid-range to high end GPU and a nice SSD you'll get a great performance for your system. As mentioned above you get great performance for production, gaming, and streaming, but it leans more towards power users who need multi threaded tasks. Be sure to get an AIO water cooler. It runs a wee bit on the hot side. Great value for multiple uses.

Better than the 9900x! Save your money for the next Ryzen CPUs! Buy these while supplies last this year. Upgraded from my 5900x! Huge change worth the jump. I edit and game and run 4 monitors so needed the in between. Not worth getting the 7900x3d best value overall

Night and day difference compared to my 9700k @ 5ghz All-core. Though be warned, likes to run a little hot. Luckily I was able to use a Precision boost Option on my Asus Board to still give me great performance and still hit 5.5Ghz All 12 Cores. All that and even with Cinebench I was around 75-80C. Though I am running custom water cooling.

Runs really well, haven’t had any issues yet! Although for those who are building with it the 7000 series especially this one does run pretty hot but as long as you get some good cooling you shouldn’t have any issues!

Very great product. Runs really fast! Gaming has been much more fun! Best Buy has the best deals for gaming products. Highly suggest this!

it’s really good i like it and this is somebody that’s switching over from intel. I got it because i was building a pc and i was about to put the latest intel in it but i decided this chip would be best especially for gaming so this was the best pick for me

This a top of the line cpu it is not a generic part this is amd ryzen 9. Super fast and efficient.

Bit on the pricy side but excellent cpu runs games awesom

great so far. learned that it is one that likes to run hot! dont be like me, have your cooling planned out

I had some issues with quality in previous purchases for this item and BestBuy customer service was glad to help with it. Love the customer service provided and can’t wait to build my pc with this component! Great price for the value and price matching this to another competitor was a breeze.

I purchased this for my first PC build the CPU works excellent and I highly recommend it.

Great for my combo college and gaming does whatever I need it to

12 cores of cool running power. Its handled any game or work application I've thrown at it. Massive leap from my old 9700k.

It's an outstanding processor for the money. Did everything I expected of it and would strongly suggest that this be a must purchase for any designer.

The Ryzen 9 7900X is a powerhouse CPU, delivering exceptional multi-threaded performance that’s ideal for heavy tasks like video editing and 3D rendering. With 12 cores and 24 threads, it’s more than capable of handling demanding applications and multitasking without a hitch. While it performs well in gaming, users focused primarily on gaming might find similar FPS from cheaper alternatives, as the extra cores are geared more toward productivity. However, it does require a quality cooling solution due to its tendency to run hot under load, and with its AM5 platform’s exclusive support for DDR5, an upgrade may require some investment in additional hardware.

I wanted a 9900X, but it just happened to be in stock after i bought this. No problem, as the price was much better and it far surpassed what i had. It does run hot and you have to did in the BIOS to cool it down. The speed is shocking, but i mainly got it for the pcie 4/5.0. It does make difference on a gpu like the RTX 4080. An hour and a half 720p video now renders in 7 minutes. Video games look cleaner and run smoother. All textures are clear and you can even read labels on boxes! I played a few games that never gave me issues on the last setup, but they look so much more shockingly better with stronger color info, detail and cleaness. Watching video and films reveals more detail and the full limits of video quality. I should done it earlier, but I did try intel, but the 14900k would never boot up. AMD has AVX512, while intel does not. Im still shocjed that it out performs my previous intel 12-core.

Great CPU, absolutely amazing. Would recommend for the price right now as its amazing for a high powered radeon or nvidia card. Can run 4k with ease. Handles anything you throw at it

I'm happy with this processor . It's fast and my new 'built' computer boots much faster than the computer it replaces. I paired it with the 4060 GPU AMD and I put 2-2 TB SSD's in for storage. I have 64 GB RAM using the G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6400 Desktop Memory Model F5-6400J3239G16GX2-TZ5RK and the GAMEMAX Master TG Black Tempered Glass Full Tower Computer Case w/3x120mm Autoflow Rainbow Fans (Pre-Installed). I;m using CORSAIR RMe Series RM1200e ATX Power Supply – Fully Modular – ATX 3.0 – 80 PLUS Gold – Cybenetics Platinum – Low-Noise – .. and the MB is an ASUS TUF GAMING B650-E WIFI AMD B650 AM5 ATX motherboard, DDR5, 8+2 teamed power stages, PCIe 5.0, a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot, Use this config for gaming and general computing

Great processor for productivity tasks. Not bad for gaming as well.
