The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X makes the most sense as a gaming CPU when looking at the AMD lineup right now. It's positioned well -- similar to how the 10600K was positioned -- and can achieve most of the performance of the highest-end AMD parts stock, and can reach their performance levels with memory tuning and overclocking. The 5600X ends up being the best, we think, in terms of peak gaming performance while retaining a sensible price for a gaming PC build. The 5900X makes sense as a production part, but it's priced high enough that the delta might be better spent on a GPU, in cases where there's finite money (which is most cases). Our benchmarks look at the 5600X for gaming, overclocking, power consumption, workstation tests (like Blender cycles and 3D art, Photoshop, and compression/decompression), and more.

Too bad Zen 3 cost $150 more outside US which makes it close to the r9 3900 here in my country
You are lucky in america to have an msrp of 300 dollars, in europe it is 320 euros, plus the crap availability which usually is lower than us and the price is done
Can’t you guys add more gaming benchmark ? I think there’s too many useless bench like 7zip and not enough games.
Sadly this is also more of a paper launch. At Caseking.de there were only like 200 of 5800x.
I saw one reviewer was having issues with the 5600x playing Warzone. Hopefully it's not a common issue.
My 2500k after 10 years of service: "He finally arrived..a worthy successor"
Same here :D
my 2600k needs to retire this time.
Same here man. I'll be framing that 2500K, running OC'd for 10 years with no problems at all.

Haven't watched the video yet but the ryzen 5 5600x is selling for 10-20 bucks less than a 10700k so I'm really wondering if it will live up to thay price tag.
Like I suppose it does better in some games but at that price it is really not good. I suppose I'll see what intel 10 nm will be like or if the prices will come down again after the huge price hike.
It’s almost unreal. Seeing AMD release a 6 core cpu that beats the 10900k in gaming. This is crazy.
$300 is too expensive they said. amd's price gouging they said.
Basically clock speeds matter more for games, as long as there are more than 4 cores. And it's pretty much clear that Ry5000 series/Zen 3 has a massively better design, which helps it gain better performance "Instructions Per Cycle/IPC" even in a way lower clock speed than what's possible for Intel's 5+GHz [lmao, Intel, catch up please]. But anyways, I would like to Compare it to Intel's upcoming lake (whatever is that, my peanut brain can't remember them).
@@fishyc43sar lol, upcoming lake
@@Zorro33313 IKR... the 5600X is less than half the price of a 10900k here in Australia. ($469 v's $999)
@Patrick B even at 90-95% performance the 5600 is still worth buying
You guys don't get enough credit for the basic visuals you put over the charts showing what you're currently discussing. It helps soooo much when watching these.
yeah their chart effects are top shelf. they befit a channel with a much bigger budget than what these guys work with. theyre seriously a fine group of pros, and we reap the benefits.
Yes, that is why I love GN's videos. So easy to read. You know what Steve is talking about. You know how long will they show the chart. It is so cool. It should be a standard.
It really helps so much but they also manage to make it super stylish and look great!
Especially for someone like myself who is not a native english speaker!
usually when things arent mentioned, it means they're done really well... perhaps thats one (optimistic) way to look at it
the level of optimization in power consumption amd is getting... I remember old amd eating watts like crazy and now they get top tier performance in less watts than intel. amazing
that's what happens when you are on top for so long, Intel got complacent and stopped innovating , while AMD has been busting their asses
The cpu the most people here really care about
The cpu that most people here can actually afford
Right
True, but also the one that makes the least sense in pricing. It's in a weird position
Edit 1: okay guys, imma reconsider. Tho i should add that i'm not in the US hence why the price makes less sense. The reasoning is that at its pricepoint its when people usually go 1440p anyways and thats where the gap is less than at 1080p. Over here, u can almost get a 3900x for the same price, or just get a 3700x for a lot cheaper and even the former (or still?) budget king 3600 is worth considering, especially when these all go on sale now the zen 3 is here. Imo it seems waiting for the non-x 5600 or 5700x will be worth it for a lot of people.
Edit 2: stop replying useless comments
you shouldn't be using this for the new gpus tho

The price creep makes sense now, Lisa knew they could get away with it b/c "what are you going to do, buy Intel for more price and less performance?"
Yep, I ain't even mad about price creep. Also, less power hungry.
Lisa has been rebuilding AMD and now it’s time for the shareholders to reap the benefits of this 5000 series success.
It makes sense for AMD to milk the thirsty early adopters and trust fund babies into buying their X skus but once Zen 3 gets to the point where it isn't selling out the moment they hit shelves, AMD is going to have to get around to releasing the more value oriented (Non-X) portion of Zen 3 for the rest of us.

You are indeed a machine. I have my own community projects qued up. Archiving the intel compiler effectees in a massive software purchasing campaign, then, a return of the windows 10 optimization generalized drivers image. I can promise a minimum even with modern build restraints of over a full multiplier on any CPU purely in CPU cycle savings.
It, to be a viable release, will have to have a maintain sequence for security, and I will also provision a step by step method to do it oneself which is already pretty much complete needing a handful of changes considering its based on a heavily extinct build that wouldnt be secure, nor would it allow the use of modern nvidia hardware.

That scene from FF7 is a metaphor for not just the immortality of the universe, or many, but its not much different from the scene of luke vs himself in its embedded intent.
Go back to it (FF7 Remake scene) if you like and listen to the last 2 syllables of the part starting at 21 seconds. Its a really important topic I think transcends traditional conversation, if straying from hardware. Its interlinked in terms of our potential to advance into higher order civilizations that have rendered obsolete darwin in the pursuit of greater than world peace.
Wow, beating the i9-10900k at every game except RDR2, at less than half the price and power consumption! 5600x is the new gaming king.
At 55% of the price*
Not at half the price
@@amashaziz2212 ok
I think people should pay more attention to the 1% lows, however, as human perception is going to be able to notice that difference more. Even so, it still outpaces the 10600k most of the time, so yeh it’s still a killer
SPOILERS!!!!
this is on relatively slow ram too, would love to see the benchmark on a faster kit
Rewatching this with the 5600X I managed to snag from newegg next to me while I wait for other parts, first PC build is exciting!
Nice
bro same lmao

This here convinced me to switch to AMD. I was going to buy a i7-10700K because it seemed to be the best balanced option for my future build but i still have some time to wait for new PC parts to come out and seeing the R5 5600X outperform the i7-10700K in almost EVERY single chart is just perfect. It also seems to be cheaper which makes it even more perfect since i have a very limited and uncertain budged.
Thank you!
In your position I would spend some more to get an 8 cores 16 threads cpu, just to avoid any problems in late-gen games that may not be very optimized for core/thread counts lower than consoles or some heavy games. You just need to encounter one game you really like being bottlenecked in your cpu to wish having spent more in the cpu.
Well, here in UK 5600x is 90£ cheapper than the 10700k, well worth the money although depending on your budget you could get the 5700x and get the newest amd graphics cards with their new boost amd cpu+amd gpu technology.
@@Sl1z3r did you mean 58/5900x and not 5700x?
5600x is my first AMD cpu ever, i'm excited, still waiting on the CPU cooler and case.
@@Fucklesticks Very good choice. I went with an 5900X in the end btw but the 5600X is more than enough for most things :)
I'm sure there's a whole delegation of Intel engineers right this minute writing AVX-512 code for Adobe, for free.
Adobe has already been working on neural net tools. It could be very interesting to see how they perform.
@@Austin1990 the problem is that any gains which you can theoretically get with AVX512 (vs AVX2) can be offset by droping frequencies once those instructions are used. Also, if you're serious about machine learning tasks, you'll need a GPU anyway.
All while the world is actively doing everything it can imagine to remove Adobe from the creative process. Intel is attacking from a dead horse.
@@KeithZim unfortunately, Adobe is an industry standard. If you're using GIMP instead of Photoshop, no one will take you seriously, even if the functionality is exactly the same. Same story with Premiere vs. DaVinci
@@user-xr3rb6pn9m AVX512 is great for benchmarks and that's about it
Hard to believe how powerful and energy efficient this CPU is compared to the competition. Really incredible.
Indeed that power draw to performance is just mind blowing vs intel.
yes indeed
I had such a horror-story when I was a kid with amd K6 and then whichever was a slot-mount, K7/Athlon(?) for years when I couldn't afford anything close to a 'good' pc, that I swore never to buy an AMD again...
And then I got an intel i7 3770k with an actual air-gap under the IHS and didn't realise until it was too late to swap. And I STILL got an i5 10th gen this summer...
At the time, it was sort of 'better' for games, I told myself. But these numbers on the new AMD chips... they're not just competitive, they're incredible.
I'll pretend I don't want to be an early adopter rather than that I can't afford to switch up, but I think in future I'll bury the hatchet and go AMD.
Right? Its crazy, absolutely crazy. I mean, wth?
You could actually game for hours on end at max FPS without turning your room into a sauna. I don't know why AMD were saying the 5900X is the "ultimate gaming CPU" instead.
My 5600x should be hear today! Rebuilding everything from my fx8350 :)
@Mike Edwards 5600x, 32gb 3600, 1tb nvme. just waiting for a 3080 or 6800xt now lol. Man it's sooo much better. even with my old 660ti it much better.
@Mike Edwards ditto, wait for queue or newegg shuffle now lol. I have that cpu overclocked to 4.6hz all core so far. she was pulling 135watts in p95. I need to work on bringing that down a bit.

Wow, so original
But, Is the coffin in a rocket?

Much like Intel's process, these jokes really need an update.
They certainly nailed it.
less power draw than the 3300x, that's nuts. I'm curious if they drop a nice equivalent to that, or rather when.
Probably in 9 months like with 3300X. Ryzen 3 series are always more than 7 months late.
3300x had a greater power draw than 3800x, btw.

Believe it or not, I went pick mine on Friday to local store.
I bought the last one in stock at Micro Center a few days ago. I got lucky! I'm building my first AMD PC. Goodbye Intel!
@@KristophM got mine at micro center too for $279 which is a damn good deal. Now if I can only upgrade this damn video card! At least the cpu isn't the bottle neck, since I game at 2560x1440
Just recently bought this CPU for a build and it's a beast! Haven't used AMD since my Micron PC build back in 2001 which had an AMD Athalon CPU!
I upgraded from haswell to this zen 3 ryzen 5600x. Before the haswell I had an amd phenom. And before that a pentium D! Feels nice to finally be cutting edge… ha!
My last old AMD CPU was a dual core Athlon in a 2010 "gaming" laptop. That laptop was a mediocre disaster that straight up died on me. It was so much better when I upgraded to a proper Intel 4670K desktop. Now that I've swapped out for a 5600X it feels like that same sort of huge upgrade yet again. The old vs. new AMD processors couldn't be more different.
wow, 5600x outpaces the 10900K. No way Intel was expecting anything even close to that.

@@Username-2 yea cpu game is getting hot again and we as customers are winning
@Osaka2407 that's not what he said.
Linus said that IF Intel boost a ~18% ipc Performance on a 8 core top of the line processor, without a drop in frequency, we may end up in status quo again (Intel better in gaming, amd in everything else).
We as users get the best possibile experience when the companies fight against each other in every field.
And since we are gamers and those CPUs are mainly made for us (especially till the ~400 range), the best possibile scenario for us is when Intel and AMD fight back to each other.
So AMD releases better processors than Intel, and Intel releases better processors than Intel a few months later.

So glad I managed to snag a 5600x. I was initially looking for the 5800x but it seems I lucked out in not being able to get one and "settling" on a 5600x instead
@@ThunderGoatz when that arrives 5600x will be outdated anyway
@@ThunderGoatz yes i also feel like the 5800X is more futureproof than the 5600X . Inevitably the meta will change from 6 to 8 cores, as it did from 2 to 4 and from 4 to 6. Curious to see what the story here will be on the 5800X. It looked just fine in other benchmarks i saw.
You didn't settle, at all. 5600X is a smart grab. AM5 is around the corner in a couple of years and with this chip you'll be able to ride out that AM5 launch and upgrade after stock settles on AM5 chips and motherboards. Cuz you know......those will go out of stock within 10 minutes. This is the way.
@Earthplayer Bit of an over-the-top reply there captain.
@Earthplayer I wouldn't bet money on it. A lot depends on Intel's timing two releases from now. My money is on 2 years.
Honestly, the power consumption was the most impressive
Yes, it is below a 3300x which was already great. Now imagine an undervolt.
Zen3 in laptops is gonna be brutal
So true, viva la ITX revolucion!
Just discovered your channel and love it so far! Very informative. Subscribed!
Thank you for including my previous CPU, the Ryzen 2700X in this video.
Damn this thing is matching/beating the 10900K despite having 4 less cores holy crap
not to even mention the power draw difference 300W vs under 70W
@Earthplayer which makes sense. 1 year newer CPU from intel beat an older Ryzen.
@Earthplayer 7nm would give Intel huge advantage. But they didn't. And that's their fault trying to milk their old fab and make more money. Everything being equal, AMD has a huge power consumption lead because of 7nm.
@Earthplayer its not even a all arounder CPU like ryzen cpus (they already werent even during zen2 era), keep in mind that intel CPUs now need insane OCs to keep the things under control and have the same level of performance, expensive motherboards (z mobos hello), expensive cooling and mostly trully good for some gaming scenarios while competing vs the competitor, when it offers at literaly half of the price/power consumption (you can literally pick a gigabyte ds3h and a 5600x and slap on it (70$ on microcenter) and a 5600X and you already have something for gaming almost close to the 10900K, where you can use the cooler box and multicore performance close to the 3700X.
Its not even close, Intel is finished unless you have specific use cases rn. And on intel platform you'll end up spending more anyway, as always. Not really justified at this point, at least for new builders.
Cores don’t matter much at all. 4 core processors can match 8 core processors in many cases. Actually, I think the 3300X could be neck and neck with the 3950X sometimes.
Dude , its such a low power CPU even with that massive OC ! They did it !
AMD: Here's our newest CPU, it's faster in benchmarks, games, office apps, productivity apps. It also consumes less power and is less expensive than our competitor.
Intel: Let's not talk about benchmarks, games, office nor productivity apps.. Also let's not talk about power consumption or price.. Or security.. In fact, let's only talk about the benefits you buying our CPU gives to us!
Have they finally released a PCI-E gen 4 series yet? I remember hearing it was supposed to be soon
T of oook. Wevcw cwcwoki
I have had my 5600X since Dec2020 and absolutely love it, it's done gaming and streaming perfectly! Have it PBO overclocked to 4.85Ghz 🥳
what cooler do you use
Thank you for all the hard work. The 5600X is an amazing cpu! I think AMD under promised and over delivered this time. Hard to be mad that it's more expensive than the R5 3600 when it's beating the 10900K in a lot of places.
Can't agree more lol.
AMD never over promises. It is the idiot tech tubers who spend 9+ months before and AMD release talking about leaks, rumours and stories instead of waiting until AMD release actual real information. Just learn to read only official information and you'll never be dissapointed ;) (and you will be smarter).
It's better to underpromise here. Now their GPU benchmarks have a little more validity because the general public is more likely to think they're valuing down. Their GPUs are gonna sell like hotcakes.
Yeah regarding the underpromise thing it is personally better to face this kind of claim, the moment I saw GN's research on this 5600X's performance review, dude I was grinning so hard silently when my parents were around
Like finally, Intel is left in the dust. Not that they can't catch up but just finally AMD has the upper lead in performance this time.
Also since this 5600X is rated 65W by AMD I wonder just how cut down would the regular 5600 be, if it turns out there are going to be no 5600, then, I guess Imma snag for 5600X some time later, not sure as well if SAM is going to be in my consideration tho prolly just going to hunt for used GTX 1070 and a X470 motherboard

I'm just waiting for 3600 price drop
I'll pair a better gpu
@@mikhailshi I see Intel beating this cpu for gaming with the smallest margin, i dont think Intel will convincingly take the crown back untill late 2022.
Thanks for all the hard work you guys put in GN!
I know this video is 3 years old but even today, it's still useful. Newer builders have a lot to learn from just the graphs and info on these videos. It's much appreciated.
i got 5600x system with 3080 and a system with 5800 and 6800xt... both pretty identical speeds and load speeds. it would last another 7 years before its time to get rid of it
Happy to see so many reviews from you guys in one day. Thanks for your hardwork!
Finally I was waiting for this the cheapest AMD CPU beats expensive INTEL CPU'S. Just like in old times.
From
2005
AMD cannot beat intel
But now
Intel Cannot beat AMD
@@majdsy1146 well, K10 from 2005 was still good enough. Intel's Core 2, bribing and AMD's acquisition of ATi proved to cause losses to AMD back then. But see how the turntables again. Let's be honest, 5 years back, we least expected AMD to be here now.
@@majdsy1146 Go back further. In mid 90s, AMD was beating Intel's rear and at a better price. The 300mhz AMD systems ran circles around a 400mhz Pentium 2 from Intel. And this is from a time when clock speeds had a greater role in performance.
@@TheMartinScott I think if intel make
7nm
Will destroy AMD
Right?
Glad I found this channel! Your videos are so good!
That power efficiency per performance is bonkers. Simply amazing!
For last 3 years Intel spent too much time talking about how their CPU's perform better in "Real World" apps instead of working for the day when they are just obliterated across the stack
So basically it's the best value gaming chip, and as an added bonus, the stock power draw is less than an r3 3300x.
tbh, 300$, the ryzen 5 3600 will probably be the value king still.
Power draw low enough to where you might be able to run a full loop, with an rtx 3080 OC on a 240mm rad without supersonic jet engine fans.
Well, In my country 3600 costs ~250$ and 5600x costs ~400$. I will propably buy 3600 next year, I just cannot afford zen3.
@@gameboyterrorysta6307 By next year, the non-X value skews will probably have launched. And intels rocket lake will also launch.
@@kaiser_nit0157 or you get a second hand i7-8700k or 9700k, these are destroying 3600 anytime, not even close with a slight oc.
I've upgraded from an Intel 3770 to a 5600x. My life has changed overnight. Thanks for all the work you put in to do these videos.
What kind of changes did you see? I'm upgrading from a 4690k.
Omg I read this comment and was reminded that at one point I owned a 3770k myself. That was so long ago omg. What a throwback. Beast of a cpu. Currently I own 2 pc's one with a 10700k and a 2080 super another with a 5600x with a rx 6700xt. Not going to lie the amd system is a bit better.
@@CST1992hey man im going Ryzen 5600 and i have a i5 4690 what was the difference you saw at 1080p/1440p
Another well done video. I always look forward to watching videos from this channel.
20:45 “Isn’t outweighing the core count advantage of the 8C” - meanwhile, beats my 2700X in all benchmarks...
I have the 2700X too. But I'll wait for the 5700X. Don't want to downgrade my core count.
I feel this comment
@@NarekAvetisyan same bro
This is what proper progress looks like: the 3600X is better than or equal to the 2700X and now the 5600X does the same to the 3700X. AMD are beating themselves and Intel.
@@NarekAvetisyan Same. Feels weird to upgrade to a lower core count cpu even when the 5600X beats my 2700X at literally everything
Finally, the one I care about most!
Thank you and your team for the hard work you guys put in.
This PCU will be my first PCU in my life. Thanks Steve and the tema for a great clarification.
I can’t wait to use this! I picked one up yesterday (release day). However, my 3070 is back ordered. So it’s just sitting on my desk looking pretty while I watch videos about it.
Last time i was this early Intel was actually relevant.
LMFAO
Yeah, Intel 4004. Relevant.
Thanks for the review, wasn't expecting this right now
love ur videos! great job!
Great work guys!
The slaughter continues.

Patiently awaiting the 5800X review before I take final decision.
Finally a replacement for my 3570K
Reading between the lines it looks like spend more for 5900x or spend less for 5600x
wow man from 4best core of the generation to 8 best cores of the decade?
I skipped the 3000 series, have 2700x and my gpu is still good 2080ti.... so, just might be the right time to get upgrade my CPU and just waiting for 5800x review before deciding.
same ere. waiting with the 3770k XDDD
Same. I'm curious what GN's issue with it was, when everybody else seems to be raving. Did they get a bad sample or legitimately find something that nobody else noticed :thinking:
Good job, that testing is extensive.
Wow, Can't wait to see this paired with big Navi as that will enable SAM and Rage making the lead even larger for Ryzen 5k.
Thank you Gamers Nexus team for spending so much time to make these quality and informative videos. We, the community, really appreciate it.
AMD: Release Ryzen 5000 series
Intel: Wait, why is Astronomia suddenly playing?
Ghana just entered the chat
Intel: why am i hearing boss music?
Even with these amazing improvements it seems the latency is still the limiting factor for not pushing higher numbers here. Zen4 is going 5nm and probably gonna need more cache which means more IPC increases and so on..
This chiplet design and the architecture that was introduced in 2017 has been literally 5+ years ahead of intel. thats pretty damn impressive.
Amazing to see the 5600X dominate even the 10900K in gaming, whilst drawing HUGELY less power and producing much less heat.
Had been refreshing this channel every half an hour for this!
OMG the thumbnail is quality. Killin' it guys.
Wow, nice
A video about recommended mainboards would also be very helpful :)
Thanks Steve! Beyond valuable as always 🤙
Looks like a great CPU. I'm on a 3600/B550 setup at the moment so staying with 6 cores is not the route for me when I upgrade to 5000 series down the line but it's great to see how much extra performance AMD is getting each gen.
You gotta be happy knowing you could go two ways: same gaming performance but more productivity with Zen 2 8-12 core, fairly inexpensively; or spring for best gaming AND productivity. The world is your oyster
There's no need for you to upgrade to any Zen 3 architecture. You're good until Zen 4 releases or mature.
@@carl8790 A 20-25% increase in performance is worth an upgrade.
"buy a 3300x for cheap gaming" hahaha, how many of those did they even make like 200?
33
It's available here in Iraq i don't know why .
yep you can't find one anywhere
Seeing more in shops now,3100 is everywhere though! I would wait for the 5000 series budget chips.
I did intended to buy it, but after 3 months of wait I was offered R5 3600 instead for ~€50 more.
I still have the intention to buy R9 5900 sometimes next year, unless politicians will be so stubborn to cause economic collapse, due to corona BS!
I just picked up this CPU on Amazon for 165, it was originally 230 but I had Amazon money, I'm excited cause it's a bigger upgrade compared to my 2600
Thank you very much Steve nice job.
Happy that I were fast enough to order one in Norway, they sold out quickly.
Bingo. Thank you for the review
Yes,very nice,i was waiting for this
Gamers nexus over 1 million subs and he's still answering and liking comments very super humble person gj
Thanks for the complete review. It's incredible how low the power consumption of this 5600x is!
Amd has done what intel should have done years ago.. specially with their ageing architecture from 2014!!.. amd improved performance by more than 20% without increasing power consumption and also put single core and multi core performance on top!
TBH Intel didn't have any serious competition for so long, the only surprising thing is that when AMD started to pull ahead, Intel didn't use their massive market share lead to invest and push ahead harder, and earlier.
AMD needed Zen3 to beat a 6 years old architecture. That also tells you how far behind they were. Glad it finally equalized :)
Kuntal Ghosh, Intel's ageing architecture from 2014 is based on
Haswell from 2013.
Haswell is based on
Ivy Bridge from 2012.
Ivy Bridge is based on Sandy Bridge from 2011.
Sandy Bridge is based on Westmere from 2010.
Westmere is based on Lynnfield from 2009.
Lynnfield is based on Nehalem from 2008.
Nehalem is based on Core from 2006.
Yonah is based on Pentium M from 2003.
Pentium M is based on Pentium III from 1999.
Pentium III is based on Pentium II from 1997.
Pentium II is based on Pentium Pro from 1995.
Pentium Pro was a new architecture, built from the ground up, and wasn't based on anything. Intel hasn't successfully built a NEW architecture since 1995! (Pentium 4 and Itanium were new but they were a failure.)
Why won't Intel build a new architecture? AMD built a new architecture in 2017 with very little money for R&D.
@@MarkLikesCoffee860 rocket lake (11th gen) is a new architecture, basically the 10nm one ported to 14nm..
Alder lake is also a new one.
They have had manufacturing issues, not design delays ;)
@@MarkLikesCoffee860 well that is still acceptable as there is a huge performance difference from a 4core q6600 to a 4 core i3 at 3ghz... But anything after haswell has really not improved. I bet my fathers 4770 will be at same performance with a 10900k if u down clock the ram to (or set the ddr4 to 2400mhz single channel on i9 & ddr3 to 1600mhz on dual channel on 4770) . And set the i9 to 4core and set the click to 3.9ghz to match the 4770😂 and it will turn out to be right at same performance .
My i7 2700 after the vid: "You were good to me... but I need to go."
i7-3770k here. I kept waiting for Intel to achieve another Sandy Bridge-level improvement before upgrading... and now my CPU is 8 years old.
@@chartabona i had 3770k too, upgraded to a ryzen 5 3600 a few months ago.
i am using two 2600s in folding machines. still great little chips
@@chartabona Similar story here. Was waiting for intel to release another Q6600 or 2600k bombshell ... and now it's 8 years later with them mostly churning out crap.
When my i7-2600k's OC started degrading from 4.8GHz to just barely 4GHz early this year (after 8 years!), I bit the bullet and bought a 3700X + ROG Strix X470-F + 32GB Crucial Ballistix 3200. Other than the boosting behavior being utterly retarded compared to intel (taskmanager open = CPU boosting to 4.4 for no reason) it's been amazing so far. Guess I'll have to wait and see if the X470-F gets any BIOS update for Zen 3... might drop one in next year if that happens, and even if not it's still a solid platform. First AMD as a main rig since the Athlon XP 3000+ on an Asus A7N8X Deluxe :D
@@Knaeckebrotsaege x470 normally should get one for zen3
I'm just excited to see appreciable performance from an overclock!
Steve I feel so bad that you have to do all this benchmarking and Im so grateful
Yes, the force is strong with this one.
Athlon 64 X2 days are back. Now all we need is for the GPU side of the business to go back to the 9800 Pro days
Thanks for the upload
I'm waiting for mine to arrive, can't wait.
I would be curious to see if enabling "Game Mode" in Ryzen Master would bring the 5900X and 5950X back above 5600X in some of those tests, since it would in effect disable one of the CCDs, making them essentially a 5600X/5800X but with a higher boost rating.
Game mode is actually only to be used in Threadripper series CPU's. In the normal Ryzen lineup, it will degrade performance, or that's the results we get.
3600X was selling for less than the 3600 at launch when I bought it.
Just got my 5600x, did a ton of research and that’s what I picked for gaming and some music production. Plenty fast enough 👍🏻
Is there any intel I7 or I5 cpu's that surpasses the Ryzen 5 5600x in gaming?
Just wow, that huge gaming performance at that insane power efficiency. It just sips power. Incredible.
As a first gen Ryzen early adopter, I am extremely glad I waited for the 5000 series to drop before finally leaving my 1700 behind
Same upgrade path
Damn that's quite an upgrade!
Thank you for the content. one question: since the processor is very power efficient, will 180-200 W TDP coolers, (e.g. Bequiet dark rock slim) be enough to cool overclocked 5600x?
Going from an i5-4590k to this was the biggest glow up i had
I bought this 5600x thanks to this video, definitely loving it so far and it helped make my decision, thanks for the valuable fact based info GN!
Missing that Microsoft Flight Simulator benchmark :'(
Go watch the 5800x review, the 5600x is there
@@MaxIronsThird cheers man, will check that. I've watched the 5950X and this one only so far, there are too many everywhere haha.
Intel: _"Well, it could have been worse."_
AMD: _"Say hello to our Ryzen™ 9 5950X!"_
After seeing the benchmarks for the big ones I'm now really curious!
Wish there were more pro audio benchmarks of this stuff. You guys need to start doing DAWbench tests, especially since there's a very good chance the new architecture will massively improve low-latency performance.
