Review on AMD Ryzen 7 5800X Desktop Processor - 8-Core, 16-Thread Unlocked by Jeff Kersey

Pros – This is an excellent CPU with single-core performance that beats every Intel competitor and multi-core performance that beats most competitors. It's incredibly energy efficient for performance gains and excellent thermal performance. *Upgraded from I5-2500K, everything I can think of is smoother and more responsive. Your mileage may vary. Neutral - doesn't come with a cooler in the box for those of you wondering. Surprised that the Ghost Prism doesn't match this generation of 800x given the thermal performance, but you'd still be better off using the aftermarket cooler. * Paired with the Coolermaster ML240RGB, my maximum temperature under load was 74°C, and then stabilized at 64°C at 'Fan is normal at maximum load (CPU-Z stress test). * Only my memory and infinity cloth were OC'd. Cons - Now we come to two elephants in the room. 1. You have to be lucky to even have a chance to buy one. Although it didn't sell out as quickly as the 900x and 950x. It sold out quicker than the 600x and I haven't seen it in stock yet. 11/11/202. The price of this processor is a bit high compared to neighboring counterparts. ● 5600x has 6 cores/12 threads, 35MB cache and costs $299. ● 5800x has 8 cores/16 threads, 36MB cache and costs $447? Good. ● 5900X 12C/24T, 64MB cache, $547.**4 additional cores, 8 extra threads and double the cache for $100 more? TLDR Great processor, $50 higher price. If you can afford it (or even buy it), buy the 5900x as it offers better value for money. If not, save $150 and buy 5600x. Identical performance in games and not too much performance in production loads. Save $150 and buy 5600x. Identical performance in games and not too much performance in production loads.
