Ryzen 5000 announcement is today at 10AM. Hoping for at least confirmation they will be adding a 16core SKU later like with the 3000 series.
19% IPC gain over Zen2, and 24% performance per watt uplift, nice.
5900X 12 core part will boost to 4.8Ghz and TDP is 105W.
5950X 16 core part 4.9 Ghz, 72MB cache, 105W.
I imagine a 5Ghz all core OC will be easy, but we will see.
Looks like they set a new single core Cinebench record as well for stock CPUs.

5800x is such a awkward price point but I know they're doing it to try and profit more off it over the others.
5800x is 150$ more than a 5600x for 2 addditional cores but also the 5800x doesn't come with a cpu cooler while the 5600x does, so another 50$ for that.
500 USD for 8 cores vs 300$ for 6 cores is hard to justify the value. I wanted to go 5800x but...thats just so little return for a hefty bump (espcially once it becomes CAD). Meanwhile the 100$ bump to the 5900x gets you 4 more cores ... such weird choice of price.

^ Agreed. Was expecting them to slot something in the middle of the 5600 and 5800 and then they announced a 5950...
That said for the CPU intensive games (league of legends, CS:GO, etc.) pretty impressive uplift over the 10900.
Might finally make sense to buy AMD for gaming.

None of the 105W parts are getting coolers this time around because AMD's market research revealed that virtually nobody was using them. Makes sense for the enthusiast chips I think.
5600X and 5900X (or future 5700) will be the best value entry points overall IMO.
I have a 5950X on pre-order, looks to be everything I was hoping it would be.

Above 720P/1080P, AMD was often the better choice even within the 3XXX series, depending on the specific title and resolution. The performance variances were usually in the single digits between AMD and Intel, only you got all the other benefits of the extra cores for everything else. The 5XXX series should hopefully make it the obvious choice across the board for gaming and AMD has been the clear winner for workstation/productivity for at least a couple years now.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Yeah, I know why they did it, but the fact that the 5800x price isn't midway between the 5900x and 5600x is pretty disappointing. It has the worst $/core value of all the processors. Though still better value than intel chips.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Where did you pre-order from? I want a 5600x asap.
Registered User
Pricing will probably even out a bit after the early adopters have a go at it. I wonder if they think the 5800X will be the top seller, so they made it a bit more expensive. To your point though, the value is so much better than Intel they can kind of do whatever they want.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I just called memory express when they opened at 11 and they put my name on a list but didn't have any official pre-order available until they get the SKUs from AMD.
USA availability is Nov 5 so I am hoping for later that month in Canada.

Yeah 5800x was definitely going to be the popular choice but this might push people to the 5600x instead I'd guess. At least it is for me.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

If your games are primarily single threaded, the 5600X will be plenty if you don't do much else with the PC. If you want to get into MS Flight Simulator or something, start saving for a 5950X lol.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Coming from a 6600k anything will be a upgrade. We'll see what CAD price brings but I only have a 1070 so I don't think even a 3900x would be worth it.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

$129.99 for 2x16 (3200) seems like a good deal.

Timings are pretty bad which is likely why it's cheap. With Ryzen you want either CL14 3200Mhz or 3600MHz CL16 for best performance/dollar. Almost all the X570 mobos have a daisy chain DIMM setup as well so 2 sticks is usually best.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Something like this:

Or this:

Ryzen 5000 has the same memory controller as well so the same should apply.
If you need 32GB though and are on a budget then more RAM still trumps speed.

Anyways the Ryzen 7 3800X 8-core is on sale for $396.99 from $491.
Is it worth picking it up, I really don't want to wait another month for the new models and I don't need top of the line, will the 5000 processors really be worth the wait..
I guess this one can be compared to the 5600x?
Think i'm just going to buy it today, is it worth the money?
https://nanoreview.net/en/cpu-compar...-ryzen-5-5600x
With that said best motherboard to go with it?
MSI B450 Tomahack MAX ?
