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.

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.


It's not an upgrade to Intel users lol.
Really funny guy you are. :)

the performance seems kinda low

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.
