Following the beefy Ryzen 9s the more measured Ryzen 5 5600X enters the fray, boasting 6 cores/12 threads and weighing in under £300.

Great write up, looks like a strong little gaming chip, has anyone tried per core overclocking on this?

4.7Ghz at only 1.2v is very nice. But that PBO overclock is also very tasty.

Has anyone seen how these new Ryzen CPUs perform in music production workloads? That was another weak point for past iterations of Zen.

Seems AMD have all needs for pc covered with this round of cpu releases, really no reason to look at intels offerings.

P.s I always watch until the end of the video's

From all the reviews I've seen over the past days, this particular CPU seems to be one hell of a CPU. First time I've actually ordered it straight away.

With this though and this might be a bit off topic, but I had one or two thoughts of Aliens logics behind this decision this time around, so thank you for your past inputs Alien!

The DaVinci Resolve benchmarks looks really weird. The 5900X performs the same as the 3600XT at stock, but higher than the 3950X with PBO? The 10900K performs worse than everything but the 3400G? Makes no sense.

I'll get Tom to look into this again. It is a new test in our suite, so that could be part of the issue.

A new version of Davinci Resolve is also coming soon, so that may be a good excuse to redo it all.

page 1 - tech specs - 2nd line - a hangover to the last review maybe - "With 6 cores, 32 threads "
