While the 9500F might look unattractive, it’s the cheapest way to get Zen 5 AVX-512 at 5 GHz.

By default, this chip boosts to only 4 GHz in the all-core AVX-512 workload.

But we can take over and switch to OC mode where we can manually set the frequency and voltage.

And tune it to run AVX-512 on all six Zen 5 cores at 5 GHz at less than 90 degrees Celsius.
