AMD Ryzen 9 5900X

W1zzard · Nov 5, 2020

The Ryzen 9 5900X dominates Intel's Core i9-10900K in our testing because of AMD's massive IPC improvements. At $550, this processor is certainly not cheap, but it offers so much more performance, especially single-threaded, that AMD has a clear winner on their hands.

Didnt they say, that it will outperform 10900K in games too?

This seems like just another AMD launch, where the reality is completely different than the promises.

Outperform, yes but not in all game ; and benchmark differ if you try 10x or 100x or 1000x

Patuga · Nov 5, 2020

Thank you for the review @W1zzard
yup... still not as fast as intel in games

phill · Nov 5, 2020

What a review, massive thanks @W1zzard for the work put into this... I'm seriously excited to see what the 5950X is like....

Dunno, others have reached the conclusion that AMD is now top dog.

Pro Huge IPC Gains.

con:

Multi-CCD design costs some performance

Its like you didn't have enough Cons so had to make one up haha.

KarymidoN · Nov 5, 2020

the performance seems kinda low... other reviwers reached better numbers, maybe worst samples were sent to germany?

dirtyferret · Nov 5, 2020

i see the ryzen 5600 offering 10700k (stock) performance in your review as well. Fairly impressive

Rus4kova · Nov 5, 2020

How come your gaming scores are so much lower than everyone else ?

dicktracy · Nov 5, 2020

It's not an upgrade to Intel users lol.

B-Real · Nov 5, 2020

If someone wants to order CPUs but ran into out of stock problems: I have no idea if you can order it outside of Hungary, but all 4 models are shippable tomorrow at Alza. All have 5+ in stock

All 4 are offering Far Cry 6 with the purchase. Even the 5600X.

Really funny guy you are.

I wish I knew, mentioned in the conclusion

Frick · Nov 5, 2020

BTW, can we please get a single thread for these releases?

Yeah I'm not sure but other reviewers seem to be getting better numbers. I did see mentioned that 3200 rather than 3600 memory was used, but I'm not going to hold it against TPU since its officially rated for 3200. Still, best platform in X570, more power efficient, better in pretty well much everything outside of gaming, and mostly equal in gaming. Can't get much better than that.

kardeon · Nov 5, 2020

CS-GO and valorant 130/180 more fps for ryzen at 1080p and so on...

you have choosen the right games to keep intel on top. Nice try. you are in total control damage

SystemMechanic · Nov 5, 2020

every time amd wins anywhere you shill like crazy and move goalposts
how much are you paid per post? do you do it for free?

SLK · Nov 5, 2020

Wizzard are u using a 2080Ti for this review?

You should use a 3090 to eliminate any GPU bottleneck if it does exists. Perhaps that's why yr scores are different.
