This review first appeared in issue 361 ofPC Pro.

It comes from Scan in the form of the 3XS GWP A1-R24workstation.

Even the clock rates havent progressed.

Scan 3XS GWP A1-R24 - 2

The 7900X it replaces has a 4.7GHz base clock and 5.6GHz boost.

The 16-core 9950X is similarly no on-paper leap over its 7950X predecessor.

Theres also support for 5,600MHz memory instead of 5,200MHz.

The storage is more modest, however.

Only one drive has been included, although its a fast one.

Scan has opted for the regular version of the Fractal North Charcoalchassiswith the A1-R24.

Notably, the single-core Cinebench result was 16% faster.

This bodes well for the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X when it arrives.

Had this system included the 16-core Ryzen 9 9950X, it could have been our Labs Winner.
