I thought the general opinion was the 5600X. The extra £140-230 would be better spent on the GPU instead of higher CPU SKUs.

5900x or 5800x for gaming?

Hi All,
I'm building two brand news systems for my kids (for their saved up $$$). I have all the parts, they wanted a rgb bling (aio h100i platinum, x570 tomahawk, 32gb corsair dominator RAM, seasonic focus 850w psu, Lian Li lancool mesh rgb case, 3080 GPus (once they will become available) ). They are gaming on 1440p@165 monitors.
For CPU if price difference is indeed $100USD, I was leaning toward 5900x since it has more cores and more cache, however it will have 2 chiplets with CCX in each which might add latency comparing to single CCX on 5800x. I'm not planning to upgrade their PCs for the next 4-5yrs.
Please advise.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thing this is obvious..5900x is higher number
All of them seem market leading on single core performance. I suppose whichever you can extract highest all core boost performance will likely be the best.
I think you might have thunk wrong. I’ve seen the odd person imply that, but it’s baseless.
I hope so, I’d like a new vacuum cleaner and toaster.

Black Friday deals aren't much good if there's little to no stock left.

I showed the Mrs this post and she agreed and said yes please to me haha!

You sound like a domestic goddess!
This article says the 5600x beats the i7 but doesnt mention the i9.

multicore cinebench 2040 for OC 5600X vs 2005 for stock? i7 10700K and 2112 for stock? 3700X
obviously i9 10900K would be faster in multicore, still slower in single
I imagine it will, but why not say that? Unless the fact its not faster in multi core lessens the impact of the story.
Still sounds like the 5600x will be a great gaming chip.
Surely better going 8 cores over 6? Even if keeping in like with PS5 8 core
wrong, the other way round
Given equal multicore performance it is always better to complete it using fewer cores. Because not all workloads are perfect multicore (see games) and then having fewer cores that are each more powerful ends up faster overall.
(in servers it is a toss-up. There power consumption matters more)
Why didnt Sony add only 6 cores or less then in the PS5?
Well, they didn't have access to Zen 3 cores did they?
You skipped the bit "given equal multicore performance".
Comparing 6 core Zen 3 to 8 core Zen 2, 6 core is better overall.
But 6 core Zen 2 vs 8 core Zen 2 obviously 8 core is ahead.
If only it was so simple.
Pricing aside, I assume the 5950X is 8+8? If so and the argument about single core CCX design being more effective holds true AAAND the next generation of games are designed to optimise 8 cores (per consoles), then surely the 5950X will be faster in future than the 5900X?
Speak slowly, I'm not very clever.

5950X will be faster from the off. More cores, higher boost.
rest is complete speculation and some wishful thinking.
there is no such thing as "optimising for 8 core" that would make it not run (well) on a 6 core. Even less for a 12 core.
Edit: I am in same boat, trying to talk myself to go for 5950X instead of 5800X
My reason is just 5GHz stock boost
As for single CCX effect, we will need in-depth benchmarks.
