Can't you buy a very powerful gaming computer for only $6000?

CPU: AMD R9 9950X3D

Graphics: Nvidia RTX 5080 16GB

RAM: 64GB DDR5 6000MHZ RGB

This is how this CPU is described by hardware reviewers:

AMD has reinforced its dominance in the CPU market with the 9950X3D, it appears that no competitor will soon be able to challenge that position in the near future.

If you want to add some brutal CPU horsepower towards your PC, then this 16-core behemoth will certainly get the job done as it is an excellent processor on all fronts, and it has been a while since have been able to say that in a processor review

This is the best high-end CPU on the market.

Why would you spend millions on a supercomputer? Have you guys ever used a supercomputer? What for?
