Altair's OpenRadioss open-source software also showed the very nice time savings from the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 with 3D V-Cache available to all sixteen cores.
There were also significant time savings when running the OpenFOAM computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software on the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2. Again, professionals are better off with Threadripper or EPYC, but for students or hobbyists with a more restricted budget, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition could be a good option given the time savings compared to other desktop CPUs.
