Leaked AMD Ryzen 7 5800X CPU delivers incredible gaming performance

I think the key difference is how the cache works, it allows the cores to use the full cache and you'd only not see improvement when all cores are loaded, so single threaded games are way boosted. Intel are going to hate these CPU's no longer single thread kings and yes i've heard 5ghz from several sources but i'm not sure on how many cores or if 5ghz all core is possible.

Tiger lake did show promise as well, next gen of CPUs will certainly be interesting.

As excited as I am for Zen 3 I'll stick with my 8700k until we get a new CPU supporting DDR5. Don't see a real need to upgrade until then. Only a couple more years and this CPU isn't holding me back.

8700K ended up being a fantastic buy, despite people drumming 1800X as the future proof choice due to socket longevity and more cores. In hindsight that's fairly silly.

I'd say the only real reason to upgrade a CPU to something new over something from the last 3'ish years is if you play competitively at 1080P, Otherwise 1440P and up will likely not see any performance uplift.

I do see these processors being slightly higher in price, but I can't imagine AMD will want to charge too much. The majority of systems still use Intel processors. Changing that could forever solidify their business, and I see that happening with a continuation of reasonably priced CPUs, not with higher priced parts. They don't have to be bargains, just priced fairly and competitively.

I'll wait for reviews and depending on how much of a performance jump it will be over 1st gen Ryzen, I might bottle it and upgrade. I intended on waiting until we move onto DDR5 like NBD but now I might retire mine early.

Not a fan of the number scheme. 1000, 2000, 3000, 5000.....yeah there is a 4000 but they're mobile CPU's......wat?

I had heard the rumors but was hoping they were wrong. Not that it's a huge deal or anything but for us OCD types it's gonna bug us.

Well, there are the desktop APUs.

TBH, I think the skip would be a good idea. Line up APUs and desktop models with product names that represent their architecture. All 5000 series CPUs should be Zen 3 etc.

He has a point. Why couldnt Mobile be simply labelled 5000M. For that matter the numbering scheme of things feel a little ridiculous

GTX1000
RTX2000
RTX 3000

Intel 10900k
AMD 3380X
Radeon 5700XT

GPU are far worse... Marketing these days, right guys? ^_^

Mobile will be 5000 series tho, when mobile is on Zen3 too

I made a typo. I meant to use 4000M.

Yeah that's what I as thinking. Keep the 4000 series just have a different designation for the mobile line like 4000M or 4100. I don't know, like I said it's not a deal breaker or anything....just something that'll always look "off" to me.

 

[grec]

Isn't that what they do just with U instead of M or sometimes a higher wattage H model tho?

I think Intel used U, but yes. It made sense to me doing that. Not sure an entire series is required just for mobile unless there will be a large product stack.

 

[grec]

Yhh Intel used U first claiming it was "U for Ultrabook" then AMD followed their name labelling approach so OEMs/laptop customers could compare easily or whatever they say. For all Ryzen mobile chips they essentially just rename the desktop parts with a U or H on the end rather than a G or GE to indicate lower wattage.

Ofc the change in naming to 5000 series doesn't really have anything to do with mobile explicitly, more with bringing the APUs and non-APUs onto the same numeric series.
