Note – AMD lifted the embargo on reviews of the Ryzen 9 3950X the morning after this podcast was recorded. We unfortunately do not have a review as AMD did not provide us with a review sample nor inform us of the embargo deadline. We are working on acquiring a 3950X at retail once the product is available. For launch reviews of the 3950X, see some of the sites/resources below:
