Our AMD Ryzen 9 5950X CPU review is the first out of the ones we're posting today, with the AMD R5 5600X, R7 5800X, and R9 5900X CPU reviews and benchmarks going live throughout the day. The 5950X is a workstation CPU meant for production workloads, and in this testing, we've tested it mostly stock (with overclocking benchmarks, too) versus the 3950X, 3970X, 10900K, 10980XE, and about a dozen other CPUs. In addition to workstation applications, like testing which CPU is the best for video editing and transcoding, 3D art rendering, Photoshop, and more, we also tested the 5950X for gaming performance. AMD's Zen 3 CPUs have higher IPC and higher frequency, which might mean kicking Intel off the "best for gaming" throne upon which it has sat for over a decade now.

Did you forgot the conclusion part?
The timestamp.
i always watch start and end.
Hail Tech Jesus
Looking forward to the reviews.
Based on what I've seen from Anandtech's benchmarks, the 5800X is the CPU to get for gaming. It wins against the 5900X/5950X more often than not in games, probably because it's a single CCX (so lower memory latency like the 3300X) and at least most games can't take advantage of the extra cores on the 5900X/5950X.
What ram should I get for the 5800x
5600x gang
I like this marketing trend of "At least" instead of "At most" or "up to"
Yeah they still wrote up to in the presentation ..but they now you buy a CPU and can stleast expect that under good cooling it also hits those numbers ..
You have to admit it's pretty funny Steve contacted AMD to ask about the CPU being too fast, to get an answer saying it's okay if it's too fast.
Just yesterday I had this conversation with a friend, that if a company is advertising "up to" figures, they also should be required to clearly inform consumers about the "guaranteed" figures of a given product, that was in the context of battery life, but applies to frequency or overall performance as well.
I get the feeling that type of thing will only happen under two conditions.
A) It's from AMD
B) They are absolutely dominating the competition.
Honesty has a high price tag in the current business climate, but luckily AMD is swimming in performant products.
The snark about the 2700X's 199 FPS being completely unplayable is the level of humor that keeps me watching.
The 2700X in my PC must have been chuckling as the CPU fan ramped up for abit.... 😶. It made me stop laughing and wonder wtf was going on lol...
@@earthtaurus5515 The 2700(x) is still such a good piece of hardware, I'm so glad I went with the 8c/16t CPU instead of cheaping out...
@@earthtaurus5515 it knows...
My OC 2700X running 4.2ghz all core feels personally attacked 😂
@@charlesleavitt13 I'm at 4.15 because to get 4.2 I have to increase vcore substantially. I got it to 4.3 for shits and giggles but I had to increase the vcore so much that during p95 it shot up to 250W package power and even with an NH-D15 it reached 101° in just a couple minutes, so I had to terminate the test.
At 4.15 I stay under 160W and 80° even in sustained prime95.
On the other hand I can't seem to get my 3200 memory at 3000MHz stable no matter how much I overvolt the SOC, and I've never booted past 3000. I don't know if it's a compatibility issue with the board or the CPU itself, but currently I'm running at 2866 and I'm sad.
intel: benchmarks don't really matter, it's all about how a CPU makes you feel.
it makes me feel like going AMD lol.
@@DanielMether R5 3600 - best CPU I ever had :)
Make me feel like I made the right choice switching to amd.
"We want every frame rendered to give customers a sense of pride and accomplishment."
Intel makes me feel sad.
22:21 Let's take a moment to think about this. The 5950X is drawing just 15.6 more watts more than a 10600K. You're getting 10 more cores and 20 more threads, all with stronger single thread performance, for just 15.6 watts. Let that sink in for a moment.
I would NEVER let that sink WAITING outside my DOOR😡
well, it makes total sense since the 10600k is still 14nm++++++++
@@cyangalaxy not even for just a moment?
@@nickhero6329 😰😏🥵 NO NO AND TRIPPLE NO. He's coming in MY house DIRECTLY, without A delay. Whether HE wants IT, OR not! HERE in this COUNTRY, in mY KITCHEN, THERE *IS* an AURORA BOEARlias Bauuauauauauau bauauauauauauauaua. aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh *shits and dies*
@@gustavosifuentes292 Which in reality is the same old 8700K, just better binned and with "different" socket
"We should put something from intel on here... just so it doesn't look like we've forgotten about them"
Hoo wee 17 seconds in and he's already bringing the heat
If he says any more he might start melting intell with his come backs.
all you have to do is show the red dead charts and you can get away with leaving them out. hahahaaha it's the only chart that intel won.
Read this when he said it.
a brilliant ROAST... Intel's nuts were not roasting over a little fire... it was a full on volcano
Gets better, cause the 5900X nets you more FPS in games than the 5950X...
I'm seriously impressed... how fast Steve can pronounce "5950X" lol
About the same speed they were out of stock
His side hussle is being an auctioneer.
@@sirius4k only for amd products
@@vrplaythrough626 Unlikely
50 9 50 x whats so hard
“AMD’s marketed specs are meant to be an “at least” this time, not an “at most and maybe sometimes if you live in fantasy land.” Stephen sure has a way with words! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Definitely, and I am very excited that AMD went this way. And, it is disappointing that AMD needed pressure to correct this.
Amazingly though as we've seen they understated and over delivered
He is called Tech Jesus for a reason, you know.
Lol read that 2 seconds before he said it, was like magic
Seeing this brings a smile to my face: no more stagnation. At last we have some performance gains at CPU-bound levels.
If the 5600X *does indeed* have better performance, I’m looking forward to that review.
*But Intel better not sleep on their jobs... lest AMD becomes the new Intel (with stagnation and unwillingness to improve).*
The 6 core isn't as quick, lower boost/silicon quality but it's $500 cheaper
Unfortunately though we could have stagnation. Jim Keller left Intel early due to infighting, he probably didn't have time to fully develop his new design. Plus Intel is having trouble with their in house fabs.
@@craigdaurizio686 yeah, I feel like at the moment, intel is more economically but AMD is literally a beast.
Intel really need to push their development.
I doubt AMD Will follow in intels path. The problem was intel spent/cut revenue to conduct anticompetitive activity, such as cutting deals with OEMs to make garbage AMD products in return for cheaper chips. If intel had just stayed the competitive path, and invested more into R&D they'd be better off now.
@@SuperSushiRoll this is what every company will do if they can afford it. Y’know stonks. The big ones don’t care too much about a single user.
Thank you AMD.
Just imagine, for 1 second, AMD doesnt do all of this and we are stuck on 14nm Intel chips with high prices and no real performance boost compared to earlier generations.
We WOULDNT even know that we are getting screwed that much.
Who knew that Intel literally held quad-core gaming back a decade!
True
I remember years ago I moved from a i5 4th to 7th to get not even 10% performance increase. 3 gens and that's what we got geez
We MIGHT have had a 6 core by now
@@kintustis and 6 core will just be releases in 2020 to combat ps5 or xbox series x lol
It was AMD’s fault that they ended up sucking for the first part of the decade and prompting Intel to become a monopoly.
Good Lord, I totally blanked that there’s going to be a new Threadripper for this generation. What kind of nightmare monster are they going to bring out for that??
You wont see a new threadripper for a loooong time
There wont be a new Threadripper lmao... unless Intel releases a new Xeon thats actually competitive then maybe
it will be 'Epyc'', lol.
sorry, couldn't resist, I'm sure TR will be nice as hell with the CCX layout for some VM tasks. IPC, clocks, etc.
@Brandon S You sound salty bro.
Oh my lord! Right?
Thank you, AMD, for not giving up! It's only been 14 years since you were competitive. And every second of that wait has been worth it!
That was when i built my first gaming computer. Welp I am building my second one now since then.
But always... innovative. Namasté.
Steve-O, you da man! Thanks a lot (to you and the team behing the curtains) for taking the time to give us these reviews!
Holy crap. This is utter carnage. Guess I know what I'll put in my pc refresh next year.
I thought this was in a hour. Ain't got my popcorn yet.
Lucky I have many stocks of potato chips in the kitchen
@Talha Did you not learn from how fast GN released a video after Zen 3 launch and also after RDNA 2 launch? 😆
The CPUs on Scan sold out in 9 minutes, and in 20 minutes they'd stopped taking additional preorders completely. At one point 1000+ people were on the site buying the 5950X at the same time! To Scan's credit, their website stayed up (albeit somewhat slow) and working the whole time!
@@RS250Squid That is a lot better compared to how the 3000 series launched tbf.
@@lordpyron3934 yeah definitely. I ordered my card 6 weeks ago and im still in the mid 50s in the queue for my particular model.
That was a whirlwind! Very grateful you managed to get all that info into less than half an hour.
I still remember 2006 when Intel released Core 2 Duo and took the performance crown away from AMD for 1.5 decades. Maybe this is AMD's revenge for Athlon 64.
Intel succeeded cuz of 3 things:
- Core 2
- Bribing OEMs
AMD lost cuz of 3 things:
- Core 2
- not being as dishonest as Intel
- Purchase of ATi caused losses, atleast then.
[Back then]
@@fishyc43sar Almost all of the engineers that worked on the Athlon 64 were gone by the time Core 2 came out.
@@fishyc43sar That ati acquisition sure payed off in the long run as someone who only plays Battlefield, Assassin's Creed and Forza.
@@m8x425 yeah tho. But I want to know one thing - why did they? Internal politics.
@@TheG60528XiJinPing wait. Yeah, it was good for the long run; but afaik, Assassin's Creed works better on nVidia and Forza is better on Radeon. Where am I wrong?
Im building a pc in the new year. Replacing my day 1 pre ordered 1700 & a radeon 480. Im so excited I cant stand it!
swapping a 1000 series ryzen for a 5000 series one is one heck of a good upgrade. AMD did really well here to support the socket through such massive performance upgrades.
Currently building one myself. Current rig is an i5 3340 running a GT 1030 lol. Building full AMD rig that currently is gonna be a 2200g and a 8 GB 580. Gonna upgrade to the 5600X in a couple months though.
@@odizzido I’ll be upgrading my FX based APU A10-7870k to a 5600X and dGPU. Stonks 😂
I'm happy for you. I started on the 2600x. Then went from the 3600 to the 3600X on a new motherboard with 4000Mhz RAM. OMG it was a huge boost in gaming performance! Just ordered the 5600X this morning from NewEgg and I'm all giddy.
@@chansaechao79 🤦♂️
These reviews are so helpful and detailed thank-you!!
Interesting information! Thanks!
When embargo is over but GN deserves the first watch!
Saw a MSI tweet and rush here
I came here second, just because I know I won't watch any other video after the roast from Steve... as I won't NEED to. and wanted to catch a bit of the LTT video. XD
100% truth
I actually watch LTT first as more entertainment high level info, then move to the more technical like GN.
Ltt first so I know if it good or bad for the parts that go over my head
There are still alot of 5950x in my local shop. No stock issues at all..... OOps I jinxed it is already sold out XD
It is bundled even with Far Cry 6
I got mine hehe xd
Did they get botted or just sold?
In our local shop it was in stock 30 minutes after launch.... now is in stock only 5800x. Imo good for a launch. :)
@@brendanr4961 I bought mine clicking like a madman on amds website. Whole site was lagging and my Cart was empty. And suddenly after about 30seconds a lot of processors showed up beeing in my cart. I then kicked out everything I didnt want and only bought my new processor. Im pretty sure the website got bottet. Thats gonna be a hard time getting my hands on that 6900XT
My 5950x is on its way, getting it tomorrow :)
Got my order in today. Very Excite!
Thanks for including code compilation benchmarks.
6:00 lol so your saying that these new cpus run faster then advertised and its not a feature just how it is. lol Noice..
Potentially faster, depending on the quality of the sillicon you get, which is random whenever you buy any CPU.
He clarified that instead of doing the whole "UP TO XXGhz" and only managing it for like a few seconds, they went with a much better humble "AT LEAST" instead. So you buy it and think "Well it does at least this, and anything else I get is a great bonus!" instead of thinking "Fuck, they said it would be XX but it only did it for a second!". I wish more companies did that tbh. That's a much nicer way to do it. Pleasantly surprise people rather than "almost lie" to them.
Talk about a win-win for the consumer.... so the lowest expected clock speed is their max... now that is marketing I can completely get behind
@@SirAndras That may also be a lesson learned by AMD on the backlash from the 3900X Launch and the "The CPUs dont target 4,XGHz Boost for long" issue or whatever that was. So nothing to say against that from my side.
Anthrax the porsche way
RIP Intel - 2020 They always loved creating incremental improvements in their products.
@Brandon S troll xD
@Frenk It was a joke and no Intel isn't dead, but they are losing out on COLOSSAL amounts of money (and market share) due to it being Q4 holiday season during Covid when everyone is inside looking to game. Intel's market share was already dropping rapidly before this launch now it's going to drop even faster.
🔥
@Brandon S Lol, I never thought I'd here the words "AMD is for benchmark chasers". AMD? Benchmark chasers? I want whatever your smoking. I've never heard anyone say that in over a decade. Lol, there is ONE AMD release and suddenly the Intel fanboys start whining "AMD is for benchmark chasers" like they've been the value option all along.
Those "all that is ever needed" incremental improvements hampered the gaming industry and evidence of that is the amount of recycled games that occurred in that era compared to the amount of graphically intense games coming out now (it's just starting in the AAA sector). Games are starting to use multiple cores because of AMD and there is starting to be performance problems using 4c/8t chips in games (it's starting at the 0.1% and 1% lows, 4c/4t chips are practically unusable for most AA/AAA titles) and 4 core chips are already garbage when it comes to anything production related.
Those 150 Xeons will do well in production for their price, but meh when it comes to gaming (you should be able to play most games at average settings 1080p 60fps, but if you're looking to play most games you can find 6 core Xeons that will do that for 25 USD, maybe less).
Soon almost every new performance-demanding release will use 8 cores due to consoles getting 8 cores that happen to not be shitty jaguars and this only happened because of AMD.
@Brandon S It sounds like you're corporate boot licking. Intel was mad milking people. When I first bought an i5 2400 it was 189 CAD, when I bought the 4690k it was 315 CAD on sale. Look at the benchmarks for 4790k to 7700k, lol why even bother releasing new CPU at that pace?
And obviously you're wrong that it's all that is needed, because AMD was not doing well at all and was still reeling from over a decade of lost business due to Intel's dirty practices, they needed to come back strong to save the company, not chase benchmarks.
Plus there were a bunch of nitwits that believed they needed a $500 cpu for 1080p high refresh and they ate up the 9900k when it came out even though the 2600 was was a better price/perf ratio. Clearly people want performance to keep rising.
Awesome review, I need to see the other 3 now!
BTW, great review Steve+Gamers´ Nexus team. Super thorough and easy to understand.

@Brandon S I have a 3600 ($170) and looking at these benchmarks my CPU operates at like half the performance of these top CPUs, but I have 0 issues with the CPU or performance on my computer
"Embarrassing, is the right word for intel right now."
I felt that.

Good. They earned it. I am still stuck with Intel as software is still optimized or works with an Intel CPU. I am looking at you Android Studio and Hyper-v
@@timothygibney5656 hopefully they'll revise them for more optimization as more market share favors AMD and you can switch. At least intels next gen isn't too far away.
@Dizzy Gear VMware Workstation is an abomination. Sorry I can't figure yet how to get more than 200k transfer speed from my raid 0 disks and the AMD filter driver on my phenomII 8 years ago always conflicted with the guest tools. Esx is a different product but I am all hyper-v for home use as it's the fastest and least hassle of any solution. It runs on AMD CPUs but it can't do nested virtualization for my exams unlike Intel. At work of course AMD is years away from the data center and you use what Dell gives you
@Brandon S Hope you enjoy your 100% of your chip that runs 80% as well.
This is like the perfect chip for me. I do workstation tasks on my computer, and then in the evening, I play games to unwind. This does both of those things extremely well, at a price that doesn't make me wanna jump off a bridge.
Managed to order one today, and it's coming tomorrow! I'm excited!
Have you gotten the chip yet, and if you have how do you like it so far? I'm considering getting one for my new build, or waiting a bit seeing what threadripper parts are coming in early 2021.. I also do workstation tasks, mostly code compilation.
@@ConductiveFoam I have it, but unfortunately, a BIOS bug in my motherboard is causing it to perform more like a 3950X at stock settings. I'm not the only one affected by this, it seems, but it's not getting as much coverage as it really should.

Steve, I used to think LTT was the gold standard for reviews. NO LONGER. In my professional opinion, you now make the best data driven reviews on the internet. Well done.

Oh boy oh boy :) so excited for the following reviews. As always so many things I didn't understand, but worth for those I did :)
As Always, Thank You Steve. Looking forward to the other AMD CPU reviews.
Forgot this was launch day and was randomly looking at my favourite etailers when I see the 5000 series for sale and in stock! I was tempted to get one but thought I’d check if review embargos were lifted (which they are), went back to the store and bam, all gone. Oh well, I can drool for free I guess haha.
You are lucky to even see them in stock at all. The only thing I saw in stock, at multiple outlets, was the 5600X, and that didn't last long either.
I feel like it sucks though, to utilize a processor like the 5900x properly, you need their 6900XT, to get the performance needed to justify even buying the CPU lol.
@@Bannockburn111 who said that
@@TheGauges420 nope, he's not using an unreleased gpu on his testing here, you'll get even better performance when those GPU's do get released. This performance review is on current existing and buyable hardware.
@@michaelkeudel8770 I know he isnt. They arent released yet. But with this Rage Mode and smart access memory, we might be seeing some insane things coming from AMD. I'm actually legit excited about finally getting an AMD card for myself...

So, this is like christmas time for customers, oh yep, the stock stuff xd
Need a Christmas miracle to get your hands on one of these...
Not really, they raised the price. And I assume these will also be out of stock for a long time.
Got a 5900x on b&h
More like Christmas shopping for next Christmas
I got the 5800X. it was instock for almost an hour. Not like Nvidia...
Zen 3 Threadripper is going to be insane for workstations. The performance for R9 5950x is really impressive too.
Love this guys detail review but they can be crazy long feel like I am back in collage on a math module. Thank god for the summary.
I love how unbiased you always are in your reviews. Always reviewing based on numbers and statistic instead of personal preference. This is the main reason I subscribed to this channel.
Keep up the awesome work!
reminder.. the number is only what they did at the tme.. don't mean it alway... right now.. it still not that much differnt..
Where's that "OOOOOFFF" pic when you need it?
RAGE MODE
i love when products launch that shake things up. new product coverage is fantastic
The most impressive thing about all of this is how you got that cat to knock that glass over perfectly on the bar mat.
Just ordered the 5900x I'm grinning. Cos now I'll be going from Intel I7 5930k to this
Where?
May I ask how you managed to even find one? I'm pretty sure they're as rare as unicorns
Sold out everywhere now, good job
Going from a i7 4790k to the 5600x... so hyped
That is such a huge upgrade.
Always pick GN's review for all the new launches first, that way you don't feel like you to watch any of the other ones!
Thank you for the video, i'm really engaged by this content
Brilliant advertising for the spill proof bar runner with the cat. I love it 😂
alright, so quick report from germany: Didn't even take an hour before almost all stock has been sold out already, and now the only offers i can find, which btw don't even list an ETA, are at least 20% over MSRP. I wonder if AMD just didn't build enough stock or everyone seriously needs a PC upgrade (it's all probably bots anyway)
Update: I was wrong, some places still list the 5800x at MSRP though i doubt that will last, whereas at least one major retailer didn't list the CPUs yet
Kind of a different story over here in Australia, 1 etailer alone said they had a minimum of 1000 chips for November, there are quite a few etailers here and it was one of the smaller ones, so there seems to be quite a large amount of stock for this remote part of the world. Technically our launch was pre-order like as the chips are actually arriving in stock on Monday (again we are on the other side of the world and covid is still going on effecting shipping). Also curiously the suppliers are saying that there is more stock of the 16 core than the 12 core. Also the etailers have stuck to the offical AMD MSRP and there has been no price increases, which is the exact opposite over nvidia and intel releases here. Oh the 6 core was still available about 10 hrs after launch too.
Don't buy from scalpers and wait for them to restock then you good
"Cool, I'm building a new PC so I'll check stock"
**There is no stock**
"Here we go again..."
All the stores near me have it. Which is better than the Nvidia launch.
@@genericnpc08 Good for you. In my entire country Zen 3 CPUs are completely unavailable.
@@oneofmanyjames-es1643 We had zero 5900x's allocated per country. The other SKUs were available for a few minutes tough.
@@oneofmanyjames-es1643 it really depends by country. Just be patient.
It took me about 2 weeks of trying to get a 3950x after it launched.
Great review. Much appreciated.
The story of AMD and Intel over the last few years is like a retelling of the tortoise and the hare.
Managed to snag a 5900x before they sold out here :o
Stock at launch: 50 5600X, 50+ 5800X, 40 5900X, unknown 5950X
All sold out in sub 3 minutes.
*Edit, I should mention that I had put notifications on all the new CPUs. Not a single one landed in my inbox before they were sold out
Was searchi.g for it by name still couldn't find it only the r9 3900 came up
I can find the 5800x, seems to be decent stock here
@@ayethe4603 aw that sucks :( Have you found it yet? Sold out?
@@DukeLaze only ebay has them and not paying 200 to 500 upmark:/
@@ayethe4603 Aw, damn scalpers... :(
Intel: "Consider this Mercy"
AMD during the FX day's: "Tell me, do you bleed?"
*Ryzen Later*
AMD Ryzen 9 5950X: "Well, here I am"
Intel: "Wait, can we talk?"
I am wondering if the fx CPUs being included in power consumption charts is just the testing/video folks passive-aggressively suggesting Steve upgrade his home computer.
@Brandon S Don't care, Didn't ask.
Plus, nobody is saying you need to dump perfectly good hardware for new and shiny hardware.
@Brandon S If thats the only argument you can make against the new 5k series, we accept your surrender.
@Brandon S nothing, you have a perfectly capable chip. But you don't have the best either
@Brandon S and when your chip was released it was also for “benchmark chasers”. Seriously, what a dumb comment 😂
loved the mini segway
This is a cool review. Very informative. :)
Cmon, nobody is going to talk about the perfect shot with the cat? i mean it spilled the glass perfectly in the mat!
Take a shot for every time Steve says "Fiftyninefifty-X"
rekt'd my liver
Is that not how you're supposed to say it
ran out of bullets
I didn't even skip the advertisement. Thanks for your work.
@Gamers Nexus I am just now realizing that Steve said over the next 24hrs the videos will be out, so the next two will come out tomorrow/technically later today. Thank you for the in depth videos. I am thinking about getting one of the bar mats to put on my wall.
6:25 That is great. More companies should market the typical and lower performance and not the maximum performance that you might get under ideal conditions.
This is what I've been waiting for! Thank you so much for providing us with so much useful data. Can't believe AMD is actually winning in single-threaded workloads!
Thanks for this well done video.
Thank you for keeping it real with the content 🙏🙏
5 November, also known as "The day Core i-series turned into Core ayayay.. Intel.."
Just wait for 11 gen intel
Which reminds me of my favorite movie, Daddy day core.
@@emilxert there is always something better around the corner, I am talking about performance right now though.
Rocket lake will be lit af🔥🔥🚀

@@lavisak lol the power consumption on 10900k in these benchmarks is close to 300 watts and amd pulling 80-120
It's nice to see AMD and Intel competing hard against each other. It's a great time to build a new PC.
Wow! That bar mat looks amazing!!
Hi Steve. I hope you are doing great. Thanks for a funny review and keeping us updated. Any plans for more mountain bike ramblings? I liked that.
Hum, and I thought your videos only got released at like 3 in the morning. =P
Last time I was this early I got a 3080
absolute madlad
Quit lying
I'm sorry
does that mean that you aren't here? lol
The bar mat stealing all the thunder. It is awesome.
Can't wait for the overclocking stream~!
Thanks for your efforts Steve! Regardless my not needing a dedicated workstation, I've ordered a 5950X and gaming is going to rock!!
Check this out, this totally new 5950X build is replacing my current "old" Intel i7 965 CPU build:) Night and day!!
Welp, looks like I'm getting an AMD system this fall. I was waiting for tests in case the 5000 series were terrible overclockers, as I run a few things that are _very_ clock frquency dependent, but with a stable 4.6 GHz OC Intel just doesn't have enough of an advantage for my use. So Intel, you served me well, but it's time to say good bye.
Oof
@Brandon S Get what you need boyo.
@Ivan MK He reminds me of one of those rich guys that owns everything 2nd hand shit to save a few pennies.
@Brandon S Good for you. ;)
Bar mat is sick! 🔥
You guys deserve more subs n views
Going to buy 5800x, currently running a "phenom II x4 955"
You better have a seat belt for you gaming chair. That kind of performance jump might blow you clean out the seat if you don't :P
@@andersjjensen great comment, made my day.
I wish I could - still running a "Core i7-860" from 2009 :/
@@Beos_Valrah If you can get your mitts on a second hand B450 board and a Ryzen 1700 you have a sweet upgrade path in some years when Ryzen 5000 drops in price + it will give you a solid boost from what you already have.
Holy, I had a phenom 955 black edition. That thing ran hotter than the sun but it was my first build
Sat here staring at my 4770K, I'm still pretty content with it since I don't usually play the latest games. I don't really need the upgrade but man... someone needs to hide my wallet.
Upgraded to a 3700X and a X570 board this year, had a 4770k before hand myself. i did it since i can always just upgrade the cpu later :D.
still stuck with a 4790k. The upgrade is getting stronger but then again I only use my PC for word, emails, League of legends and valorant. Not really a reason for an upgrade lol.
@@vagabondht5791 I went from a 3770K to the x570 64GB 3600 memory and the 3700X, these new 5-series is the plan for the final upgrade in a couple of years. Waiting for an 3080 Tuf OC.... and maybe an AMD GPU might be a way to go too when this is getting old? I have a PCIe 4.0 already, but one warning, don't fill the Corsair MP600 more than 50% writespeed drops like it's choking down from 4000 Mb/sec to 1500 at 61%, and before I cleaned it up a bit, having 81% filled dropped it to 500Mb/sec. MSFS2020 takes it's toll...
@@Bratfalken you should have buy samsung version instead corsair, since they almost at same price
I owned a 4770k ... Thinking of turning it into a FreeNAS box. Anyway for work stuff my jump to a 9900k was noticable. Sure boot times are similar but it will show its age if you are not careful. Mad dogs, rd2, Adobe premiere, or virtualization will make it beg for mercy
That bar mat is awesome. I've never had a need for one, but now I'm trying to figure out a reason to buy it.
You're one of the only people on RUclips who talks fast enough such that if I watch your vids at 1.75x it's too fast. 1.5x is the sweet spot!
RIP Intel indeed... beating an overclocked 10900k by a fair margin. This gives me high hopes for a 5600x going toe-toe with 10700k. Scratch that... it even beats the 10900k in some applications. So glad I didn't upgrade this year yet.
In Linus Benchmarks the 5600x beat the 10900k in almost every game.
It won't be cheap as 3600x
It's got RDR2 going on for it...
@@DragonBallzMoviesHD who cares?
@@DragonBallzMoviesHD I think it's the same launch price. The 3600x is being discounted right now, but that's kinda expected.
Oh man, this is huge. AMD is definitely back in the game. Stock amd chips beating intels 10900k overclocked is nuts. This takes me back to the athlon xp days
Steve, also because of your review I got myself a 5950X, and I'm SUPER happy with it. :-)
Gaming and Studio One is like a breeze, I'm glad I could also see your review before I decided to get myself one.
That bar mat is freaking sick man first time seeing it
When Steve makes a claim like that in the thumbnail you know it’s good
Can't wait to see the new THREADRIPPER and EPYC stuff!
I love the LTT style and in the middle of the video.
i've been building my pcs since i owned an amazing AMD K6-2 533 mhz... moved to a Athlon64X2 (blew my mind), then moved to an FX... bought the marvelous i5 2500k overclocked (my first overclock) that's still running smoothly as my "local server" 10 years after, and now... back to a 3700x... and this year has been amazing viewing that AMD has retaken it's place... always looking forward, always innovating.... and planning to pass my 3700x to my doughter and move to an 5xxx series... thanks for the video... amazing! subscribed!
And this is on the same 7 nm process and same motherboards. Imagine what AMD will be capable at when using 5 nm or 3 nm, with new motherboards... The future looks promising! 🤘🏻
