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

I managed to catch one of the pre-orders using one of the many stock notification apps. It was originally supposed to ship in mid-December, but Revain has kept pushing the release date. Actually received it on November 30th. It was a pleasant surprise. Like other comments it came in a thin white Revain bubble bag. Not ideal for such an expensive package. The end of the CPU box was partially crushed, but the seal was not broken and the end with the CPU was not mistaken. So luckily no problem. I have an Aorus Elite WiFi mobile phone. I updated the BIOS to version F31i and the new processor did not appear. The case fans and GPU fans just spin and nothing happens. I returned my 3800xt and reinstalled a freshly released new BIOS, F31l. It worked this time. Coming from the 3800xt I could say I get more frames in the games I play that are more CPU heavy. I didn't jump so I don't know how much better. All benchmarks also showed significant gains over the 3800xt. But to be honest I don't think it changes anything noticeable in normal gameplay. This update was more current and better. With a drain without OC, the maximum frequency of a single stream is 4859 MHz. Multithreading reaches 4541 MHz. The single-core Cinebench rendering showed 1579 points. Multi-core 15,216 points. I've now paired this with the new RTX 3080. I have to say this combo is cat whiskers. During intense gaming sessions with Ultra settings, GPU utilization reaches 100%, while CPU utilization reaches 86% and threads 86-100%. The maximum temperature is 68-70 °C when using a 240 mm water cooling system. Now my 144hz monitor supports near max frames for most games. At 1440p at very high and/or ultra settings. I also have a Samsung 980 PRO NVMe SSD, so maybe PCIe 4.0 in all three will improve performance as well. Right now I'm using 2x8GB 3200 cl14 G Skill RAM. I have a new custom 2x16gb 3600 cl14 set that G Skill just released. Hopefully this will be the "golden point" for these new 5000 processors, Which I keep reading about as I'm really uncomfortable measuring time manually with the Ryzen timing calculator. There is no doubt that this is one of the best gaming processors. currently. If you're wondering whether it's worth upgrading, just do it. Get this or one of the new 5000 Series processors. No matter what you have now, you'll see an improvement. Perhaps PCIe 4.0 will help performance in all three as well. Right now I'm using 2x8GB 3200 cl14 G Skill RAM.
