The BEST (and Worst) AMD Gaming CPU yet? 5800X Review

  • I know the value isn't really 'there', but what constitutes value as a tech enthusiast? Having the lowest latency and best overclocking CPU in the AMD Zen 3 line up? Well if so, then that would be the CPU I would go for (personally) when building a new high-end gaming CPU... AMD know to charge that $50 uptick more in relation to core/price ratio as I believe it also a 'cream of the crop' 8 core CCD.

    I just upgraded my old am4 system to this cpu in 2023. I was able to get it on sale for under $200 so I feel like it becomes a great price to performance now. Only thing I'm working on is thermals. My old cooler isn't quiet enough for this monster. Hopefully a new cooler and some undervolting will do the trick and it'll get me through a few more years.

I went for the 5800x on launch day for your exact reasons, so pleased to see the benchmarking showed a positive result. Still waiting for my CPU to arrive (was changed to a pre order) but I think it will get here before my 3080 :(.

      It's the more (for the lack of a better phrase) forward thinking people like you and Bryan who would prefer the 5800x. Bryan is probably one of the top "value for money" youtubers out there and he chose the 5800x over the 5600x. Other reviewers of idea's of value for money is only looking forward 1 and at most 3 years. Their thought process is game for a year or two and upgrade to the next decently valued cpu and so on, adding cost to each upgrade, which will eventually even out the "wasted" money for justifying the 5800x now.
      In the end, for any competent minded person and whatever their idea of "value for money" is, money spent will even out. I personally got the 5800x and also plan on using it for the foreseeable future, as I did with my 4770k. Until the 20xx series geforce came out, my 4770k held out very well. I predict my 5800x will do the same.

      @ilovehotdogs125790 3 года назад +11

      smart guy, I have a 5800x and for some reason my benchmark numbers are higher than some of these techtubers numbers are. For cinebench r23 I have 1640 single core score and 15515 multicore, I just used ryzen master auto-oc. For speedometer 2.0 (html performance that reflects web browsing responsiveness) i'm getting 171mph. Based on others scores on 5900x i'm getting better single core score and better speedometer 2.0. Based on techyescity's score it's better at gaming. So essentially the 5800x is just better overall unless you're doing something that can leverage the additional cores. If I needed a 5900x I would just get a 5950x. The only thing the 5900x is good for is being a budget video editing/productivity cpu. 5800x is better for the gamer, 5950x is better for the person who needs the extra cores for productivity, virtualization, etc. To me the 5900x just seems like an upsell/jack of all trades master of none. The only thing is, I'm not sure why everyone's numbers are so different. I've seen a lot of benchmarks that put the 5900x ahead of the 5800x in gaming, but comparing my scores to online 5900x scores the 5800x is better.

I probably would wait for the 5700X and/or 5600, still not sure I want to invest more in 8 cores, by the time it matters maybe I'll be upgrading again anyway. How about a few tests, load up a system with a 5600X, run a couple of benchmarks with nothing open, then load your chrome, discord, spotify etc, run em again, rinse repeat with a 5800X? That would be really interesting because, I mean you'd want to test a couple of CPU intensive and CPU light games to see the differences

So i ordered 5900X, which has the same performance in gaming overall, lower temps, more cores and threads, much better perf / price ratio and i would say its better future proof aswell, assuming that i want to keep that CPU for like 5 years-

    Mine tends to run hot, which I knew when I made the purchase so I planned my build around it. I have a 360 aio with the radiator on top and the fans under it pushing air from the inside out and 3 140mm fans on the front pulling cool air in. The front fans do not have to spin as fast to move the same amount of air so it is quiet there and the radiator blocks much of the noise from the internal fans. It does kick up to 90c during long stress tests, but even at those temps the clocks stay solid right around 4.5ghz on all cores. Once the tests are over it cools down pretty quick.

    As soon i put the 5800X in i had constant blue screens, and crashes.
    Tried everything, deactivating XMP, PBO, C-State control, installed a new Windows (and dropped all my VST-Plugins of my DAW for music producing...the whole reason i wanted to upgrade in the first place).
    It kept crashing, i read into that problem, and saw many people and forums talking about it.
    I know i could hassle around with voltages and such, but i want a stable out of the box experience, before i OC my setup.
    Man what a bummer, i really wanted to like this CPU but so far it was one of the worst experiences, in my 20 years of IT.

    The 5800X is a beast. I have mine at all stock BIOS settings, except for custom fan curves and turning on DOCP for the RAM and it's clocking up to 4.94Ghz on a Noctua NH-U14S. It normally doesn't go over 72 degrees under a real world heavy load. With Prime 95 during a torture test, it can reach 90C even, but only with the AVX instructions enabled. Even during the Prime 95 torture test, it was running at 4.6Ghz on all cores and never dropped below that. Geek bench gave me a 1720 single core benchmark. Sorry I lost the multi core Geekbench result, but it was over 10k that much I remember.

      I'm using an old high end mobile i7-4700MQ quad core (4 cores, 8 threads) for music production, with an undervolt, i have 358 points in CPU-Z for singlethread and 1776 multithreaded (overall i beat the 2600K). I do fine and i also have 16GB of RAM and i will upgrade to an SSD soon.
      From personal experience, you should buy the CPU with the highest singlethread perfomance (audio buffer, effect chains and other stuff love singlethread) and number of cores, the 5800X has 3400 points in passmark singlethread vs the 3000 for the 10700K.
      The problem is, that the 10700K can close the gap (it's also cheaper) because with an undervolt of -100 mv, you can have 5GHz all core clock, so it costs like 70-100 dollars less while the multithreaded perfomance is only 10-12% slower (with the undervolt of course and that 10 or 12% is irrelevant for audio, the CPU never reaches 100% or 90% on task manager anyways due to the nature of real time audio processing). This is the i7-10700K undervolted:
      ruclips.net/video/x9gtfkdFqWY/видео.html
      I recommend the 5900X (3500 points singlethread) or the 5950X (3600), better than an i9-10900K (3100 points, 10 cores and 20 threads) if you want the 5800X, you can also buy that one, but remember that the difference in perfomance compared to the i7 is small for the price and is kinda wasted money, rather upgrade from 8 cores to 12.

    This vid describes exactly the reason, i cancelled my early November 5900x preorder, and got me an actual available 5800x.
    Situation here in Europe cpu wise looks way better than with all the gfx cards, but still - 5900x will actually be available only early next year.
    So not because price (that's 0 concern for me, i had already paid the 5900x and getting refund), but the fun using an 8core 1ccd low latency monster of a chip.
    And i don't really need (!) that many cores anyways, plus planning on up/sidegrading several pc's in the house too, when 5000 series refresh comes out next year.
    Was extremely happy with the 3800XT (now my wife is, she enjoys the blistering speed in her now updated desktop, and the pure overkill on her casual&browser games).
    And the 5800X as well - that's really an impressive chip.
    Faster in anything, most noticeable in cpu dependent games
    (rpg's and older titles. Or newer, like Serious Sam4, where the cpu makes a world of a difference - we're talking +/- 50fps differences here with same gfx card).
    And the sweetest thing: all cores (not only 1,2 or 3 - all 8) reach 4850 easily, within a minute when checking with HWInfo, in single core/light loads, and around 4,4-4,6 in all core loads.
    Does a tiny tad higher temp at ~75°C at full load, yet similar to the 3800XT, with a good case and 240 AIO.
    But stock. And without PBO. And without even hitting the 140W limit doing so.
    Does take 4 dual ranked 16G sticks@3600 (which btw also the 3800XT was able to) - just sweet.
    I use an MSI MEG X570 Ace board btw.
    And as it's so snappy it needs no oc in any way, i just tried a little bit for fun - it takes even higher single core/light load boost speeds set in bios/fmax with ease.
    Or lower voltage on same clocks, or just have the best perfoming energy saver cpu by limiting it to 65 or 95W....simply because it can.
    Damn awesome - don't miss the 5900x in any way, and with very low super-pi 1m numbers (for fun/doing comparison) it feels beefy, stable and quick in anything, "like Intel" - yet even faster 👍

    After 2 months of use I can say that I don't regret buying this chip. The single core performance is just insane. Only issue I have with it is that it can run hot very quickly, I use a 360 mm AIO for cooling and it's barely sufficient. So I set it to eco mode in the bios which limits the power draw of the cpu to 88w and that seems to help a lot with the temperatures. Although there is a slight decrease in multi core performance (about 5-10%), in single core the scores actually increased a little. In games there is no noticeable performance hit.

      FOUR monitors? My word. Personally I'd say for your setup it may be worth the extra $100 to get a 5900- it won't help at all in gaming, but for video editing and a rig on which you're regularly using productivity tasks on four screens, you're likely splitting your cores a bit. $100 is a relatively minor investment depending on how long you plan to be keeping this CPU. But, if you're running fine on your 2700x in terms of productivity tasks, a 5800 is probably a more direct upgrade in terms of core count than the 5900. Really depends on your budget, I suppose.
