The Ryzen 9 5950X is a magnificent CPU that manages to deliver top-tier gaming performance while having enough cores (16) and threads (32) to be an incredibly strong workstation too - and now it’s on sale.
CCL in the UK are offering it for £516 for the CPU alone, but you can also combine a discount code and CCL’s bundling mechanism to get an even better deal on the 5950X and a Corsair 850W power supply - the ultimate starting point for a content creation workstation that also doubles as a high-end gaming PC.

While this is a great deal, I wouldn’t recommend the 5950X to everyone. The six-core Ryzen 5 5600X and its recent counterpart, the 5600, are thebest AMD CPUs for gaminggiven their much lower price point. Similarly, the Ryzen 7 5700X, 5800X and 5800X3D all ratchet up the gaming performance while also packing in eight cores instead of six. Either way you go, you’re getting extremely strong single-core performance and enough cores for modern games at a much lower price than that of the 5950X.
That power has made the 5950X a favourite amongst YouTubers and 3D modellers - I don’t know about the RPS video team, but I know that a good percentage of the Digital Foundry squad are using 5950X systems to render out their videos. So if you’re a similar line of work that benefits from having a lot of fast cores, like programming, 3D modelling, data science, video production and so on, then this is a cracking deal on the fastest AMD Ryzen CPU available.
