AMD's comeback continues with the 12-core Ryzen 9 3900X... a 7nm chip with excellent boost boost frequencies, modest power draw, and a decent box cooler (which we'll test in a separate video). But despite its performance and relatively decent value, should you even consider one for gaming, streaming, and/or content creation?
