Corsair has finally navigated into AMD waters again. Today, the company listed the Corsair One a100, its first AMD Ryzen-powered gaming PC (opens in new tab) that hails from the One series.
The new desktop leverages the core-heavy AMD Ryzen 3000-series (opens in new tab) (Matisse) desktop CPUs (opens in new tab). While the Matisse family has many Zen 2 members, Corsair only taps the two fastest models, the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X (opens in new tab) and Ryzen 9 3950X (opens in new tab).
The Ryzen 9 3900X has 12 CPU cores (opens in new tab) and 24 threads (opens in new tab) and ticks with a 3.8 GHz base clock (opens in new tab) and 4.6 GHz boost clock. The Ryzen 9 3950X is the flagship 16-core, 32-thread part and checks in with a 3.5 GHz base clock and 4.7 GHz boost clock. The two 7nm processors boast native support for the PCIe (opens in new tab) 4.0 interface and DDR4-3200 RAM (opens in new tab) modules.

An unidentified Mini-ITX X570 motherboard (opens in new tab) lives inside the Corsair One a100's compact PC case (opens in new tab), which measures 7.9 x 6.8 x 15 inches (200 x 172.5 x 380mm). Being a Corsair-branded product, the gaming PC utilizes the company's own products wherever possible.

Regardless of the configuration, the desktop uses liquid cooling to keep the Ryzen processor and Nvidia graphics card at bay. All configurations also come with 32GB (2x 16GB) of Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 (opens in new tab) memory.
The gaming PC's other specifications include a Corsair SF600 80 Plus Gold certified power supply (opens in new tab) Gigabit Ethernet networking, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity.
