Generational stragglers: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X and Ryzen 7 5800X in the test

Page 1: Generational stragglers: AMD Ryzen 9 5950 X and Ryzen 7 5800 X in the test

As announced, AMD gave us the first four Ryzen – 5000 – models are now also supplied with the two missing model variants. We are therefore now completing the test series with the top model with 16 Cores, the AMD Ryzen 9 5950 X, and around the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 X with only half as many cores. How the two Ryzen CPUs fare in practice can be found in this Hardware Luxx comparison test on the following pages.

Last Thursday, AMD sent the first four models of its new Ryzen – 5000 – Generation in the running, which depending on the model variant between six and 16 cores and should catch up, especially in terms of single core and gaming performance. As our extensive launch test showed, the US-American chipmaker was able to actually deliver on what was promised with numerous detailed improvements within the Zen 3 architecture, which mainly affect the structure and the cache memory, and thus in many benchmarks also the bring down the last bastion of the competitor.

On Thursday we could only get the measurements for the AMD Ryzen 9 5900 X and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 X deliver, since the two missing models should not reach us until the market launch. AMD decided to supply the press landscape with different models at different times. We are now catching up with our measurement series with the two missing models and now also have the AMD Ryzen 9 5950 X and the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 X can test.

Who all the details about Ryzen 5000 and would like to experience the Zen 3 architecture, you can read about it in our big practical test from yesterday. In this article we only want to dive into the readings of the two stragglers.

The AMD Ryzen 9 5950 X is the new top model for the AM4 platform, the proud 16 cores and 24 Threads with a clock rate of 3.4 to 4.9 GHz throws into the balance and on a 64 MB L3 cache. This means that the new flagship continues to increase in the generation comparison, especially in the boost clock, but is still used by AMD in the 105 – W-TDP- Class sorted. 799 euros the group wants for it.

With a targeted price of 449 Euro the AMD Ryzen 7 is significantly cheaper 5800 X. It offers eight cores and 12 Threads only half as many cores and makes on top of that, it gets to work with a top clock of only 4.7 GHz. Due to the lack of a second CCX, the L3 cache is also halved. Nevertheless it is still about 105 – W model.

The test hardware

Ryzen 9 5950X at 6.36 GHz with all cores active and liquid nitrogen cooling

The overclockers have started putting hands on the new Ryzen processors 5000 reaching very interesting results in overclocking: the 16 Ryzen 9 core 5950 X was raised to 6, 36 GHz from the Taiwanese Hicookie.

by Manolo De Agostini published 06 November 2020 , at 08: 41 in the Processors channel

AMD RyZen Zen

The processors Ryzen 5000 are official and the overclockers have started testing them with liquid nitrogen cooling reaching remarkable goals. Undoubtedly the 6 stand out, 35 GHz reached by the Taiwanese TSAIK, exceeded by 6, 36 GHz by compatriot Hicookie , obtained respectively on MSI X motherboard 570 Godlike and Gigabyte X 570 Aorus Master with a processor a 16 core and 32 Ryzen 9 thread 5950 X fully active.

Overclocker Der8auer pushed his Ryzen 9 5950 X to 5, 85 GHz, again with liquid nitrogen cooling (reaching 14275 points in Cinebench R 20), while the Swede Elmor stopped at 6.1 GHz on a ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero.

For the other models there are currently no frequency records, except for Ryzen 5 5600 X which was pushed by the Indonesian LUCKY_N 00 B a 6, 12 GHz , always with all cores and threads active and liquid nitrogen cooling. To follow the progress of the tests of the main world overclockers, not only in terms of frequency but also of scores in the various benchmarks, we suggest you follow the pages of the various models on HWBot: Ryzen 9 5950 X, Ryzen 9 5900 X, Ryzen 7 5800 X and Ryzen 5 5600 X.

As for overclocking with level air coolers or good level liquid cooling solutions, looking at several reviews it seems that Ryzen chips 5000 are positioned according to the sample between 4.4 and 4.7 GHz with all cores and threads active, whether it is the 5600 X that of 5950 X : in short, even if the new Zen 3 CPUs do not need to overclock to impress, those who want to experiment should have a good margin to do so.

The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X manages to reach 6.35GHz under liquid nitrogen

by Jordi Bercial Does 11 hours …

The official launch of the AMD Ryzen took place today 9 5950 X , an incredible processor whose review we can visit at This same link, and that makes it totally clear what is the performance we can expect from the new AMD processors based on the Zen 3 architecture.

However, not only publications like us have gotten our hands on new processors, but also overclockers around the world have sought the absolute limits of new AMD processors, something that has already resulted in some records as we will see below.

To begin with, the even frequency record this processor stays at 6350 MHz at 16 processor cores, although in order to obtain performance results, we see how the AMD Ryzen 9 5950 X has achieved a score of 6809 points to 6023 MHz in Cinebench R 15 and 15024 points to 5775 MHz in Cinebench R 20.

For its part, the records related to the Ryzen 9 5900 X throw us 3455 points to 5975 MHz in Cinebench R 15 , while the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 X gets 3455 points to 5925 MHz in the same benchmark. Without a doubt, these are processors that, given sufficient cooling, manage to yield performance figures never seen before in processors under the Ryzen brand.

The AMD Ryzen 5000 are hands down the best CPUs in the world for gaming

by Antonio Delgado Yesterday at 11: 17 8

Today the new AMD processors have hit the market Ryzen 5000 Series, which is the fourth generation of Ryzen processors, debuts the new Zen 3 architecture with a new internal design and IPC improvements that are around the 20%. This increase in the IPC (instructions per clock cycle), together with higher frequencies, mean that these processors not only improve the multicore performance of previous generations, but also put them above the competition, Intel, in all types of applications, including games.

Although the last generation It already offered a higher performance per watt, Intel still had the advantage of a higher mono-core performance due to its higher frequencies, now, as we have seen in our reviews of the Ryzen 9 5950 x, Ryzen 9 5900 X and Ryzen 7 5800 X, AMD has stolen from Intel the crown of the best processors for gaming.

Tests in games. 4K with Geforce RTX 3070. Battlefield 1

Even the Ryzen 7 5800 X outperforms Core i9 – 10900 K

It was something that the company had already announced at launch but, as is often the case in these cases, until a product can be tested we cannot verify these types of statements. In the end the results were true and we can see that even the Ryzen 7 5800 X outperforms Core i9 – 10900 K, Intel’s most powerful processor for gaming.

These results have not only been reproduced in our laboratory, but also in other reviews of other media, the dominance of the Ryzen is repeated 5000 in gaming with higher FPS in practically all games, for example, in kitguru’s review or in cowcotland, io-tech, extremetech, pcmag, anadtech and many others reviews.

These are undoubtedly good times for the PC gaming market that sees real competition at its peak between the two main manufacturers of processors, a competition that, in one way or another, will end up benefiting consumers.

AMD Ryzen 5000 maintain compatibility with AMD 500 and 400 chipsets

by Antonio Delgado Yesterday at 11: 00 1

All AMD Ryzen processors 5000 released today, based on the Zen 3 architecture, use the AM4 socket already introduced in early Ryzen processors, and are compatible with current motherboards with chipsets of the series 470 from AMD , including AMD A 500, B 550 and X 570. The processors will work with any BIOS that has AGESA version 1.0.8.0, although full and optimized support requires a BIOS with AGESA 1.1.0.0 that motherboard manufacturers already have ready for their motherboards.

Also, the owners of chipsets of the previous series 400 (AMD B 450 and X 450) will also be able to update their processors to the new ones Ryzen 5000, although until January 2021 is not expected to release the first beta BIOS that support these new processors in the family 90 chipsets.

The chiplet-based design of the Ryzen 5000 allows to integrate Zen 3 c on the current platform

The chiplet design that AMD introduced in the Ryzen 3000 with Zen 2 has made it possible for the new generation of Ryzen 5000 has been able to integrate the Zen 3 architecture while maintaining compatibility with the AM4 socket and with the last two generations of chipsets.

The reason for this is, as we have explained more extensively in our editorial about Zen 3, that having a processor divided into 3 “chiplets”, the two chiplets where the cores and cache (CCDs) are located can be updated with the new architecture, while maintaining the chiplet in charge of communication with the rest of the system (cIOD) compatible with the current platform. In this way, the entire unified core and cache system that is introduced with Zen 3, does not require major changes in the entire platform

We have analyzed the three most powerful processors in the new Ryzen range 3000, don’t miss our reviews:

Zen 3 lets you take better advantage of speeds up to 4000 MHz DDR4

by Antonio Delgado Yesterday at 15: 00 …

One of the novelties of the Ryzen 5000 with more interesting Zen 3 architecture, especially for those looking to get the most out of their equipment, is the new relationship between the clock speed of DDR4 memories (MCLK), that of the memory controller (UCLK ), and that of the Infinity Fabric interconnection system (FCLK), which will now be 1: 1: 1 although the RAM memory increased by a certain value.

Currently, with Zen 2, the ratio to the Infinity Fabric clock was 1: 1 until it exceeded 3. 600 MHz, at which time the FCLK speed dropped to a ratio of half and could lead to increased latencies.

Now, with the new Ryzen 4000, the ratio will remain at 1: 1: 1 even if we go above that speed, which means that it is possible to use memories faster than those 3. 800 MHz, either with modules prepared for those speeds or by overclocking.

If we now have DDR4 4 memories. 000 MHz, which would be a speed of 2. 00 MHz being DDR), the memory controller would also work at 2. 000 MHz, and the FCLK of the Infinity Fabric also at those 2. 000 MHz instead of decreasing to 1. 000 MHz as previously.

This means that memories can be used better with speeds per ignition. ima of the 3. 800 MHz or, at least, that there will be no penalty on latencies when increasing above those speeds. According to AMD itself, the memory speed sweet spot in the Ryzen 3000 was at DDR4 – 3800, and now with the Ryzen 5000 will be in DDR4 – 4000.

Happen from 3. 600 MHz to 4. 000 MHz will not represent a significant performance increase

However, in the final performance of the system, as we have seen in our reviews, a performance increase will not be particularly noticeable between going from a few memories of 3. 600 MHz CL 16 to 4 memories. 000 MHz CL 17 for example, so paying the extra cost may not be worth it.

In the end, the s 1: 1: 1 support, which avoids performance penalties when exceeding a certain speed as happened in previous Ryzen generations, but even so, from a certain speed the performance increase is hardly noticeable.

If you haven’t seen them already, don’t miss our analysis of the new Ryzen 5000 with Zen 3 architecture:

The king is defeated: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and Ryzen 5 5600X in the test

Page 1: The king is defeated: AMD Ryzen 9 5900 X and Ryzen 5 5600 X under test

Since today the first offshoots of the new Ryzen are – 5000 – family available. With them, AMD wants to bring down the last Intel bastion and finally play a leading role again in gaming performance, after the competitor with its Matisse offshoots had already been put on the skin in terms of price and multicore performance, and even against them forced a counterattack. Today’s test article on the following pages should clarify whether AMD will finally succeed in the final change in leadership. We have the AMD Ryzen 9 5900 X and Ryzen 5 5800 X put to the test in time for the NDA case.

In July 2019 blew AMD into a major attack and sent its first processors based on the Zen-2 architecture into the race. After Zen 1 and Zen +, which both created the basis with constant improvements over the years, they should finally be a high-performance and above all competitive alternative to Intel again. In fact, the Matisse processors like the AMD Ryzen 9 3950 X, Ryzen 9 3900 X and Ryzen 5 3600 X and the smaller Ryzen 3 models draw level after years of drought – In terms of price and multicore performance, the AM4 CPUs had up to 16 Cores even after the Intel counterattack in the form of the Core i9 – 10900 K ahead. Only in terms of gaming performance did the AMD models have to cut back and let the competition pass. Now the last Intel bastion should finally fall.

With its first models of the new Ryzen available today – 5000 – Family AMD wants to finally put its archenemy to flight and also to be number one of the fastest among players Processors are. That this should finally succeed is already clear from the name, because AMD skips the Ryzen on the desktop – 4000 – Family, which was actually planned next. There are only a few Renoir notebooks. The flagship model among the AM4 processors is changing from the Ryzen 9 3950 X for Ryzen 9 5950 X.

During the first public announcement, AMD spoke of a performance gain of around 9 and 39%, with an average of about 19% should be. For this purpose, its Zen architecture has been further developed and some changes have been made, especially on the front end and the caches, but also on the back end, which should enable the significant increase in performance. Since from now on there is double the number of cores in a CCX and thus communication via the external I / O die is partially eliminated, the latency times in communication with one another should be significantly reduced, which should benefit games and single-core applications in particular. In addition, the L3 cache is merged, which is also intended to reduce latencies due to the rarer mutual accesses.

On paper, however, the differences are much smaller: Even AMD’s Ryzen 5000 supports like its predecessor DDR4 – 3200 in the dual channel Operation, has 24 PCIe Gen4 Lans with a TDP of up to 105 W and will still produced in the 7 nm process. Depending on the model, Vermeer also has six to 16 cores, whereby the smaller quad-core versions of the Ryzen 3 family are not likely to follow until the next few weeks. In terms of clock speed, the boost is only slightly up in the generation comparison, whereby AMD expects a higher performance per clock due to numerous optimizations.

Four models for the release, two for the test

The new Ryzen processors in the overview
	Cores / Threads	Basis / Boost	L3 cache	L2 cache	TDP	Price

Ryzen 5 3600	6 / 12	3.6 / 4.2 GHz	32 MB	3 MB	65 W	approximately 179 Euro

At the start of Ryzen 5000 there are initially four different models. The AMD Ryzen 9 5950 X leads with his 16 Cores and 32 Threads the field in the future and makes itself with a TDP of 105 W to work with a base and boost clock of 3.4 to 4.9 GHz. With the next smaller model, the Ryzen 9 5900 X, the number of cores drops to twelve, while the clock rates drop to 3.7 to 4.8 GHz. Due to the lower number of cores, the L2 cache is also reduced from 8 to 6 MB, but the cache in the third row remains with 64 MB exist, just like the TDP of 105 W. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800 X offers eight cores and 16 Threads that get to work at 3.8 to 4.7 GHz. A decrease in the TDP only brings the AMD Ryzen 5 5000 X on 65 W with itself. It only has six cores and twelve threads with clock rates of 3.7 to 4.6 GHz.

Depending on the model, between 299 and 799 euros, whereby AMD is based on the release prices of the predecessor. For the time being, the new Vermeer models run on the X 550 – and B 550 – Mainboards , in the next year selected X 470 – and B 450 boards can be made fit via BIOS update. Occasionally, however, the manufacturers have already released corresponding beta versions.

For our launch test we have the AMD Ryzen 9 5900 X and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 X with twelve and six Get cores. The top model and the medium offshoot should reach us during the day, so we will soon have all four newcomers in the test. The key data of both models can be found in the corresponding CPUz screenshots:

We have the AMD Ryzen 9 5900 X and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 X put to the test. How AMD’s latest processor generation fares in terms of game performance, power consumption, overclocking behavior and other applications can be found in this Hardware Luxx test on the following pages.

The Zen 3 architecture

Scalpers Strike Again, Ryzen 5000 Processors Impossible to Find In stock

(Image credit: Ebay)

Ryzen 5000 is the buzz of the month with its impressive performance and crazy gaming potential, and seemingly everyone wants to get a slice of the Zen 3 pie with the new processors going on sale today. Unfortunately, scalpers have once again stolen the show and bought as much volume as they can, and availability for any Ryzen 5000 series CPUs is almost impossible to find.

The scalpers are again, using eBay as their base of operations and have pushed prices of the 5000 series CPUs well over MSRP.

AMD Ryzen 5000 Series CPUs
Zen 3 Ryzen 5000 Series Processors	RCP (MSRP)	Cores/Threads	Base/Boost Freq.	TDP	L3 Cache
Ryzen 9 5950X	$799	16 / 32	3.4 / 4.9 GHz	105W	64MB (2×32)
Ryzen 9 5900X	$549	12 / 24	3.7 / 4.8 GHz	105W	64MB (2×32)
Ryzen 7 5800X	$449	8 / 16	3.8 / 4.7 GHz	105W	32MB (1×32)
Ryzen 5 5600X	$299	6 / 12	3.7 / 4.6 GHz	65W	32MB (1×32)

According to Ebay, you can buy the Ryzen 9 5950X for an absurd $1,699.99 from one of the several listings, “fortunately” most of the 5950X listings are more “reasonable” ranging between $1,050 and $1,200.

Stepping down to the Ryzen 9 5900X the most expensive listings touch the $1,000 mark while most hover in the $800-$900 range. The cheapest listing that we found comes in at $612 for a pre-ordered model. That’s not too bad considering its only a $63 price hike.

(Image credit: eBay)

For the Ryzen 7 5800X ,most listings hover around the $600s and $700s with a few going as low as $455 and $500.

Finally, for Ryzen 5 5600X listings, average prices are around $400-$500. With some coming in at just $350.

Thankfully AMD has said they are working with retailers to fight against scalpers and purchasing bots, so hopefully, the scalper invasion will be short-lived and stock will go back to normal. The last thing we need is another catastrophe like the RTX 3080 scalper mess when that card launched.

In the test, AMD’s new 12 and 16 core Zen 3 Ryzen 5600 processors based on the

AMD’s new Ryzen 5000 processors went on sale and we immediately tested the most recent 5000 at io-Tech – and 16 – cores Ryzen 9 5900 X and 5950 X models. In addition, in a separate article we looked at the innovations of Zen 3.

Hinta.fi, Search: Ryzen

In this article, we get to know the features of processors and run comprehensive processor and game tests at different resolutions. The test configuration uses NVIDIA’s new GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card, so the differences between the processors become clear. Power consumption and noise measurements as well as overclocking tests are also included.

test pieces for Ryzen 5 5800 X and Ryzen 7 5800 X processors arrived at the io-Tech test laboratory this afternoon, which we will test later in November.

Upper class processors Ryzen 5000: AMD puts one on top

The fourth Ryzen desktop processor generation 5000 with Zen 3 architecture for AM4 mainboards is launched. AMD is initially introducing four models: Ryzen 9 5950 X with 16 CPU cores, the 12 – Kerner Ryzen 9 5900 X, the 8-core Ryzen 7 5800 X and the 6-core Ryzen 5 5600 X. The chip manufacturer made the two top models available to us for testing in advance.

When designing the Zen 3 architecture, AMD concentrated on single-threading performance, which is essential for software with little parallelization and 3D Games is important. The Ryzen were already convincing in multithreading applications – 3000-Predecessor; the successors are now all-round successful overall packages with both high single and high multithreading performance.

Game benchmarks So is the Ryzen 9 5900 X Intel’s fastest gaming processor Core i9 – 10900 K is at least equal in all the games we tested, but often faster: In the action role-playing game “Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey” there is a tie; in “Metro: Exodus”, “Shadow of the Tomb Raider” and “Far Cry 5” lies the Ryzen 9 5800 X, however, 5 to 9 percent ahead.

Here we have the core i9 – 10900 K within his 56 – seconds 250 -Watt turbos measured – so best-case conditions for Intel, even if the power limit is not exhausted in games. The comparison Ryzen 9 is impressive 5800 vs. Ryzen 9 3800: The frame rate increases in several games 35 to 40 Percent, but titles like “Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey” pull down the cut. AMD therefore calls an average plus of 24 Percentage in games.

The 16 – Kerner Ryzen 9 5950 X falls slightly behind the 12 – Kerner Ryzen 9 5600 X back, although it has a nominally higher boost clock. An indication that the power limit is limited with so many cores.

Game benchmarks, measured under Windows 10 (2004), 16 GByte RAM (according to specification) and GeForce RTX 3080 (456. 71 WHQL) Game Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey Metro: Exodus Shadow of the Tomb Raider Far Cry 5 Settings DX 11, Full HD , High DX 12, Full HD, Normal DX 12, Full HD, High, SMAA, 16 x AF DX 11, Full HD, High, SMAA Ryzen 9 5950 X 125 186 186 168 Ryzen 9 5900 X 126 195 189 179 Core i9 – 10900 K 127 186 175 164 Ryzen 9 3950 X 120 138 138 124 Ryzen 9 3900 X 120 143 136 131 Ryzen 7 3700 X 112 140 132 124 High boost Part of the jump in performance comes from high clock rates. The frequencies specified by AMD are for the Ryzen – 4910 – Processors are no longer to be understood as fixed points: In the test, the boost for both processors was around 150 MHz above the expected values - normal according to AMD, as long as parameters such as power consumption, current flow and cooling do not limit. On the other hand, we have the Ryzen 9 5900 X under synthetic full load with Prime 95 (Small FFTs) frequencies below the base clock seen.

150 MHz means more clock in the case of the Ryzen 9 5950 X up to 5, 10 GHz that the processor achieves ex works. For the CPU chiplets, AMD continues to use 7 nanometer technology from the chip order manufacturer TSMC, as is already the case with the Ryzen 3000 XT was used. The separate I / O dies with Globalfoundries’ 11 – AMD takes over nm technology from the Ryzen – 3000 – CPUs.

Fleet 8-core cluster More in-depth changes affect the architecture, in particular the structure of the CPU chip sets: At Ryzen 3000 one of these consisted of two quad-core clusters (CCX) each with 16 MByte level 3 cache, whereby the two clusters could only communicate with each other via the I / O die. If a thread jumped between the CCX, it cost latency and thus performance.

With Ryzen 5000 a CPU cluster now consists of eight cores with a common 32 – MByte L3 pool. This has two advantages: thread jumps no longer cost as much performance, and individual CPU cores can use the full 32 Access MByte L3 cache. This helps in applications that use few cores.

New structure of the cache compute dies with eight common CPU cores instead of two four.

Further improvements include optimizations to the caches, branch prediction and execution units as well as widened integers – and floating point pipelines.

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, Ryzen 7 5800X, Ryzen 9 5900X and 5950X

On Thursday, AMD will make its biggest launch this year: the Ryzen 5000 processors for desktops, based on the all-new Zen 3 architecture. We started working with all four new CPUs: the Ryzen 5 5600 X, Ryzen 7 5800 X, Ryzen 9 5900 X and of course top model Ryzen 9 5950 X. In this review you can read whether AMD can deliver on its impressive promises.

Ryzen 5000 must also convince the die-hard gamer The official slogan of the Ryzen 5000 generation is ‘the fastest in the game’. With this pun, AMD is clearly flirting with gamers, who are undeniably a large part of the desktop CPU target audience. In fact, according to market researchers, gamers are responsible for the desktop market remaining the only growth bastion in the shrinking PC market in recent years, although covid – 19 has also of course everything changed in that area.

Although there was a certain consensus that the Ryzen 3000 processors offered the better overall picture, Intel knew Maintain the gaming performance crown over the past year, for example by significantly increasing the clock frequencies. In addition, Intel’s monolithic architecture had an advantage when it came to latency-sensitive workloads, and gaming is an excellent example of this.

Fast CPUs for high frame rates You may have felt the urge to dive into the comments while reading the previous paragraph and argue that the processor isn’t the bottleneck when gaming at a decent resolution. That’s true, but somewhat bluntly. On the one hand, we see monitors with high refresh rates taking flight and gradually even on TVs 120 Hz is becoming the standard. A sufficiently fast processor is required to allow very high frame rates. On the other hand, you should realize that if you upgrade to a faster video card in the future, gaming performance will scale, even AMD emphasizes. A processor that now fares better in CPU – bottlenecked gaming scenarios, will give you more breathing room in the future.

That AMD now itself comes up with arguments that have so far been primarily used against the Ryzen CPUs, but indicates that the manufacturer has every confidence: the Ryzen 5000 processors must also games run around the competition. We will find out in this extensive review whether the CPU designer actually lives up to that claim.

ASRock Launches X570 PG Velocita! Motherboard For AMD Ryzen 5000 CPUs

Today, AMD is launching its 5000-series Ryzen CPUs based on the Zen 3 architecture, and thus ASRock is grabbing the opportunity to show off its new X570 motherboard. This board is called the ASRock X570 PG Velocita! which as its name implies is meant for speedy systems.

(Image credit: ASRock)

The Velocita follows a pretty standard ATX layout, packing an AM4 socket at its heart, wired to four DDR4 memory slots with support for up to DDR4 5000. In the lower half you’ll find two PCI-Express 4.0 x16 slots, which will run in 8x if both are occupied or the full 16 lanes if only using the top slot. Being a speed-focused board, ASRock equipped the board with a lavish 14-phase VRM circuit to power the CPU, claiming ‘unmatched overclocking capabilities’ in its exciting promo video.

The chipset of the board is cooled by a heatsink along with a small fan that can spin up to 6500 RPM, and the VRM circuitry has a beefy heatsink spanning around the CPU socket.

For storage, ASRock equipped the board with two PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots (one of which is wired through the chipset) for NVMe SSDs along with a total of eight SATA ports.

In the theme of speed, ASRock also opted for ‘Killer DoubleShot Pro’ ethernet, which combines WiFi 6 capabilities through the Killer AX1650 controller with 2.5Gbe Ethernet using the Killer E3100 controller.

Of course, you don’t have to use this motherboard with a 5000-series AMD CPU. It’s still unclear what availability will be like for those chips, so in the meantime, a 3000-Series AMD Ryzen CPU will work just fine with upgrade options down the road.

No word on pricing or availability.

AMD Ryzen 9 5900X Review

Introduction

AMD Ryzen 5000 is here, powered by the new “Zen 3” architecture! We bring you this review of the 12-core Ryzen 9 5900X processor. But wait, where’s Ryzen 4000, you ask? AMD cluttered its 4000-series processor model numbers with APU parts based on the “Renoir” silicon powered by “Zen 2” and felt “Zen 3” deserved a new number series. The new “Zen 3” architecture promises an impressive 19 percent IPC uplift over “Zen 2,” which had similar double-digit gains over its predecessor.

For AMD to repeat such huge generational IPC improvements with each successive generation is stunning, given its main rival Intel has been using the same “Skylake” architecture for many years, paired only with higher core/thread counts and better boost algorithms. Still, Intel has managed to hold on to one thing that eluded AMD even after its return to competitiveness—gaming performance leadership. AMD claims that the new Ryzen 9 5900X beats the Core i9-10900K at gaming owing to its single-threaded performance gains and should naturally beat it at productivity by virtue of its higher core count.

The Ryzen 9 5900X is a 12-core/24-thread processor AMD is pricing at $549, about the same as the current Core i9-10900K street price (it originally launched at around $500). Ryzen 9 5900X’s CPU cores are built on the same 7 nm silicon fabrication process as the Ryzen 3000 “Zen 2” processor, but with several refinements to the microarchitecture. The biggest change with “Zen 3” has to be the company doing away with the 4-core CCX and unifying all cores of the CPU chiplet into a single 8-core CCX. Even within the CPU core, AMD has worked to reduce latencies, improved branch-prediction, optimized the execution engine, fattened the front-end and load/store units, and deployed faster caches, which has a direct impact on IPC, or single-thread performance. IPC is the single biggest contributor to gaming performance, and the 19% claimed IPC gain over “Zen 2” should mean AMD has taken the gaming crown since the “Zen 2” architecture wasn’t too far behind “Comet Lake” at gaming to begin with.

Unlike the competition, AMD isn’t launching a new chipset with Zen 3. Existing motherboards based on AMD 500-series or 400-series chipsets will work with the new Ryzen 5000 Series processors after a BIOS update. AMD also ensured that the increased IPC on the same 7 nm process doesn’t translate into a higher power draw, with the Ryzen 9 5900X shipping with the same 105 W TDP as its predecessor, the 3900X. In this review, we put AMD’s biggest claim for “Zen 3″—gaming performance leadership—to the test, along with our vast suite of CPU benchmarks to investigate whether AMD has wholly and comprehensively defeated Intel.

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X Review

Introduction

AMD today announced the Ryzen 5000-series “Zen 3” desktop processors, and we have with us the Ryzen 7 5800X 8-core processor in this review. The company skipped over the “4000”-series model numbering probably because the numbers were cluttered by the “Renoir” APU silicon. With today’s announcement, AMD keeps its promise of releasing a new generation of “Zen” CPU microarchitecture each year since its 2017 debut, and with each new generation they introduced IPC increments. IPC, or instructions per clock, is a de-facto way of measuring the single-threaded performance of a processor, and has a direct impact on gaming performance.

With “Zen 3,” AMD is claiming an astounding 19% IPC increase over “Zen 2,” in contrast to Intel’s zero IPC gains in the desktop segment over the past half decade or so. Riding on the backs of these 19% IPC improvements is AMD’s claim to have beaten Intel at gaming performance, given that the Ryzen 3000 “Zen 2” wasn’t too far behind Intel’s 10th Gen Core “Comet Lake” at gaming. With productivity tasks, AMD’s higher core counts for the Ryzen 9 series will give it the edge by virtue of higher core counts, 12-core and 16-core, but the game is evenly balanced when it comes to the Ryzen 7 5800X, compared to its Intel rival, the Core i7-10700K, since both are 8-core/16-thread.

Much like the Core i7-10700K, the Ryzen 7 5800X in this review is a “monolithic” 8-core processor, in that all its 8 cores not just sit on the same silicon, the “Zen 3” CCD, but also share a common L3 cache. AMD’s Ryzen 5000 processors still implement a multi-chip module, with this generation’s MCM being codenamed “Vermeer.” The doing away of 4-core CCX complexes to unify cores on the CCD should pay dividends in the form of reduced inter-core latencies, and an effectively double L3 cache size that each core can address.

AMD is announcing the Ryzen 7 5800 “Zen 3” 8-core processor at $449, which is a major step up from the $399 that its predecessor, the 3800X launched at. The 5800X is being offered as a premium gaming desktop chip for gameplay at any resolution. The chip retains a modern PCI-Express 4.0 bus for next-gen graphics cards. What’s even more interesting is that despite the IPC and clock-speed gains, the Ryzen 7 5800X is being launched with the same 105 W TDP rating as its predecessor, and on the same 7 nm silicon fabrication node. In this review, we take the processor for a spin. We’re especially looking forward to test AMD’s gaming performance claims.

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Review

Introduction

The big AMD “Zen 3” architecture we’ve been hearing a lot about, is finally here, and we have with us its most affordable part, the 6-core Ryzen 5 5600X. AMD claims that the 5600X is everything a AAA gamer would possibly want, and that the processor shouldn’t come in the way of even premium 4K graphics cards. With the “Zen 3” launch, AMD is keeping its promise of rolling out a new microarchitecture every year since the 2017 debut of the original “Zen.” What’s astonishing, though, is that with each microarchitecture launched since, AMD has managed to deliver an IPC increase. In contrast, Intel has been stuck with the same IPC for the desktop platform for half a decade, and its “Rocket Lake” processor reportedly won’t launch until March 2021.

The “Zen 3” microarchitecture heralds a significant 19% IPC increase over “Zen 2,” which already had a transformative impact on the desktop processor market. Higher IPC means higher single-threaded performance, which means games, which are traditionally less parallelized than productivity, tend to benefit more. An IPC increase of the kind being marketed by AMD would mean that “Zen 3” beats Intel at gaming, given that “Zen 2” wasn’t too far behind “Comet Lake” at gaming. At the higher end with the Ryzen 9 series, AMD offers more cores to the Dollar with 12-core and 16-core parts, but things are evenly matched between the Ryzen 5 5600X and the Intel Core i5-10600K, with both being 6-core/12-thread parts.

The biggest under-the-hood change with “Zen 3” is AMD practically doing away with the 4-core CCX, and putting all 8 cores of its chiplet into a single 8-core CCX. This means that all cores within a chiplet can talk to each other at lower latency, and access a larger 32 MB shared L3 cache. The 5600X is carved out by disabling 2 out of 8 cores. AMD’s Ryzen 5000 processors still implement a multi-chip module, with this generation’s MCM being codenamed “Vermeer.”

AMD is debuting the Ryzen 5 5600X at a staggering $299, which is the highest launch price ever for a Ryzen 5-series processor, and higher than what you’d pay for an 8-core 3700X. AMD says that the 5600X should have everything you need to build a gaming desktop for any resolution. Unlike the 5800X and 5900X which lack stock cooling solutions, AMD is including a cooler with the Ryzen 5. The chip has the same 95 W TDP as its predecessor, the 3600X, and is built on the same 7 nm silicon fabrication node. In this review we put the Ryzen 5 5600X through our wide selection of gaming and productivity tests to tell you whether six “Zen 3” cores are worth more than eight “Zen 2” ones.
