One thing that has changed (don't know when) is that the 5950X says "£749.99" on page 1, but it's already gone up to £799.99:Literally the first page of this thread has links to all of these, nothing new here![]()
depends which one..Minus the box & cooler, save yourself £100 (stock cooler sucks anyway!)
In fact, the 5800X might even be better for you for gaming since there is just one ccx with all the cache on that, so no thread hopping over the infinity fabric. I imagine when independent benchmarks come out that games that require strong single core performance will fare better on the 5800x. Another benefit of this CPU is it will be similar to the ones on consoles, so future PC games will optimise to 8 core 16 threads rather than 12 or 16 cores.
Ive looked into the 3xxx series to try and learn how 5xxx will perform. And the 3900x and 3950x seems to be ahead of all the other 3xxx in games.
So whilst the 5900/50x may not be needed, or the best value for gaming. I think its still going to outperform the 5800x
'amd noob whos just done lots of reading, no real world experience' <<
amd is binning chips ... you can be sure that 5950x and 5900x are getting the best onesThe single CCX on the 5800X {that the 3800X didn't have} may still make it the better card if overclocking.
I'd be waiting for reviews if that's your deciding factor.

SiSoftware conclusions on Ryzen 7 5800X said:Executive Summary: Zen3 is ~25-40% faster than Zen2 across all kinds of algorithms. No choice but give it 10/10 overall!
Despite no major architectural changes (except larger 8-core CCX layout and thus unified L3 cache) over Zen2 – Zen3 manages to be quite a bit faster across legacy and heavily vectorised SIMD algorithms, naturally also soundly beating the competition even with AVX512 and more cores (e.g. 10-core SKL-X). Even streaming algorithms (memory-bound) improve over 20%. We certainly did not expect performance to be this good.
it will be... no doubt ... but @420£ I am not planning to change my current cpuProbably, but the 5800X will still be awesome.![]()
why are we asking questions about something we cannot check?Would the arctic freezer 34 duo be sufficient for cooling a 5800x or 5900x? Have a preference for air cooling; otherwise will look at the dark rock pro 4 or nh-d15.

hehe .. I am rocking intel although I love what amd is doing.. I just like overclocking and high frequencies to much ..Nor was I, but the uplift is just too good to skip over.
Plus lots of my local friends are still rocking Intel... so time to reclaim the high ground in the pub.![]()

I know we can speculate.. .but just wait till 5th
;] got me with this oneIt’s not like it’ll suddenly be outputting the surface temperature of the sun. It’s going to be within range of current gen.
I think it'll beat it at all kinds of frequencies. These are fast chips.hehe .. I am rocking intel although I love what amd is doing.. I just like overclocking and high frequencies to much ..
if new ryzen cpu can beat my 8700k @5.4 with 4.8-4.9 (I assume this will be max for amd) i will gladly consider it... but i will be very surprised it will reach those frequencies... it will probably end somewhere close to 4.6-4.7
progress is good .. lets hope that intel will get their act together and we will get even more great productsI think it'll beat it at all kinds of frequencies. These are fast chips.
Yep. Intel deserve a couple of generations of beatings, but ultimately we benefit from competition.progress is good .. lets hope that intel will get their act together and we will get even more great products
It's been this price since day 1 mate
