The Ryzen 9 3900X redefines our expectations for the mainstream desktop with 12 cores and 24 threads for roughly the same price as Intel’s eight-core Core i9-9900K. The extra cores deliver big gains in heavily threaded applications, and the improved architecture offers great gaming performance, too, making for an incredibly well-rounded processor. Support for the PCIe 4.0 interface is the cherry on top.
