It’s always exciting when new tech is about to be released, and plenty of details about AMD’s new Zen 5 CPUs have already leaked out ahead of time. In the case of the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X, it now has the distinction of being reportedly “found” on a plane, leading to images then being shared online, but we’ve debunked this rumor.

Headlining the new AMD Zen 5 range of CPUs, the 9950X has a good chance of landing a place on our list of the best gaming CPUs, at least until the Ryzen 9000 X3D lines are released, which should be later this year.
