AMD Ryzen 7 5800X

December 21, 2020 by Stephen

As we come to the end of the year we are rounding up our reviews of AMD’s Ryzen 5000 Series processors. We’ve already taken a look at the Ryzen 9 5950X, Ryzen 9 5900X, and Ryzen 5 5600X. Obviously the Ryzen 7 5800X will slot in between the 5600X and 5900X. The 5800X will bring you 8 cores, 16 threads, a base clock of 3.8 GHz, boost up to 4.7 GHz, 32MB of L3 cache, and a TDP of 105W. AMD has really focused on single-core and gaming performance with the 5000 series of processors.

Another thing to touch on with the 5800X is its placement in the market. AMD pushes it as a competitor to the Intel 10700K based on core count. When in reality, we must also look at its cost. At the time of writing, 5800X costs $449, and the 10700K costs $399. Intel more recently pushed 10850K to market to cover the transition to 10900K, with a price of $449. This pits the 10850K as a direct market competitor to the 5800X for users choosing a platform.

AMD “Zen 3” – 5950X, 5900X, 5800X & 5600X Hit November 5th

October 19, 2020October 8, 2020 by Stephen

The time has arrived, and today AMD officially announced the 5000 Series. The new line tops off with the 16 core, 32 thread Ryzen 9 5950X. AMD is claiming the best single core performance, best gaming performance and more. A key announcement was a geomean +19% gain in IPC. That’s a substantial gain for a generational upgrade relative to recent history. We’ll need to wait roughly another month for more number, but these chips look promising. Only the Ryzen 5 5600X will come bundled with a cooler, but let’s be honest, if you’re picking up a high end chip you’re likely to pair it up with high end cooling anyway.

Processor	Cores	Clock	Turbo	L3 Cache	TDP	MSRP
Ryzen 9 5950X	16	3.4 GHz	4.9 GHz	64 MB	105 W	$799
Ryzen 9 5900X	12	3.7 GHz	4.8 GHz	64 MB	105 W	$549
Ryzen 7 5800X	8	3.8 GHz	4.7 GHz	32 MB	105 W	$449
Ryzen 5 5600X	6	3.7 GHz	4.6 GHz	32 MB	65 W	$299

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X – Has Vermeer Emerged?

October 19, 2020September 29, 2020 by Stephen

The Ryzen 7 5800X’s lineage is currently a mystery to be solved. On one end, the chip could belong to AMD’s upcoming Zen 3 (codename Vermeer) family, which the chipmaker will present on October 4. If that’s the case, it would appear that AMD might finally integrate both processors and APUs under the same series. The chipmaker’s mainstream processors and APUs are currently sporting the Ryzen 3000 and Ryzen 4000 monikers.
