Everything in this kit is high spec, but the CPU is something special indeed. As our 9950X3D2 review explains, this is not a processor built for normal gamers. This niche product is designed to push the limits of AMD's 3D V-cache technology for the best results. It's the first AMD X3D CPU with the extra L3 cache capacity available across both CCD, and it's also dethroned the 9950X3D as the fastest CPU for gaming, even if the margins are thin.
You're getting a CPU with 16 cores and 32 threads, along with a 5.6 GHz boost clock and a 200W TDP rating, along with double the L3 cache at 192MB in total. Those power demands are 30W higher than the 9950X3D, and 70W more than the 9800X3D, which is still the best CPU for most gamers in our opinion. This is power hungry in every respect, as you'll see from our CPU benchmarks, but it isn't necessarily a game-changer. It offers performance that matches the 9800X3D's for gaming, while multithreaded performance sits about 4% higher than the 9950X3D. If you want the absolute best all-rounder from a CPU, able to smash through everything from gaming to AI, then the 9950X3D2 is the best there is, albeit by smaller than normal margins over its predecessor.
This barebones kit also comes with an Asus ROG Crosshair X870E Glacial ATX motherboard. Scoring a 4.5 rating in our review earlier this year, this is an AM5 board built to be a flagship option for a high-spec machine. You simply won't find much better, with the kit coming with no less than seven M.2 slots, dual 10GbE and Wi-Fi 7 for connectivity, 14 USB4 ports, and even a built-in 5-inch LCD. You won't find a better option for features, performance, and design right now, with this discounted combo knocking some of the pain off its $1,199.99 individual price tag.
The RAM is suitably high-end, too, as you're getting 64GB of G.Skill Ripjaws S5 Series DDR-6000 memory with this deal combo. This high-performance kit comes with two 32GB modules, rated at 6,000 MT/s with CL36 latency. Fast, in a striking black colorway, and with plenty of memory available to handle even the most demanding games to date.
Finally, you're also getting a massive 4TB Samsung 990 Pro SSD here. The 990 Pro is the best SSD for most, with sequential read and write speeds of up to 7,450 and 6,900 MB/s apiece. This is the fastest Gen 4 SSD you can buy, and while Gen 5 SSDs are faster, the market costs are extortionate right now. They are for this SSD, too, under normal circumstances, with a $1,099.99 price tag slapped on this drive if you bought it separately.
Every one of these parts, bought separately, would set you back a fortune, while buying them together in this $2,899.99 Newegg combo deal means you get to save almost $1,200. That's a saving that helps to completely offset the cost of any one of these parts, making either the RAM, SSD, motherboard, or GPU effectively free, leaving you the cash to put towards a high-spec GPU to finish your build. We can't change the market, but if you need a new PC or crave an upgrade, a deal like this one will help you save costs. A deal like this one won't be around for long, though, so jump on it while you can.
