Wow that's cheap to my knowledge…
I’m waiting for the 6900x
That's a laptop CPU
So was the 4000 & they ended up in desktops.
$649 was a great price for a 5900x, but it was $529 2 weeks ago on Amazon and that lowered my impulse purchase barrier to $599 or lower
yeah I bought that one ;)
jesus such a good price
would that be worth upgrading from 3950X? thanks
If you're not planning to upgrade to new socket when it hits this year then yea. It's a decent upgrade in terms of performance.
Am I crazy to want to upgrade to this from a 5900x mainly for gaming?
Yes.
Thanks for saving me $854.10
Totally crazy. Would not make any difference in performance.
You would have bragging rights to your friends though. That would be pretty cool.Yep insane. Insane to even have a 5900x for gaming (I do too because of sweet deals haha)
The only edge case for this CPU is productivity. For gaming, the 5800x is as far as you need to go IMO.
Yes! Save your money for next gen if it's feeling clunky.
Worth getting this super for a 3070Ti? Whats the minimum GPU you would pair with this?
This or 12700k for heavy excel work, virtual machines etc?
Will use it to game but primarily for work.
this would give an idea on how they compare:
https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-12700K-v…However in reality what's best depend on your use case, what VMs are you running, what are the VM's running… and how many cores do you want to assign to each 5950x gives you 32threads vs 20 in 12700, price should be cheaper in 12700…. so on.
this website should be banned, surprised it isnt, it already is on reddit.. please use cpubenchmark only :)
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Intel-i7-12700K-vs-AMD-…
thanks for sharing, the figures are reasonable in both sites, but looks like userbenchmark is biased somehow and appears in search engines better :),
I'll be using cpubenchmark moving forward@yaaNaa: I wouldn't use either, personally. Userbenchmark is by far the worse of the two, but with so many other quality reviews available that go into more specifics about certain workloads, there's no need to rely on overly genercised/simplified information like cpubenchmark.net.
Not sure if I missed anything, but what is wrong with cpu.usebenchmark?
@GallBall2606: Userbenchmark have a well documented history of adjusting their "results" to suit their agenda - namely pushing low core count Intel CPUs over all else, especially during the time when Intel were stagnating on 14nm and AMD were providing high performance and low cost alternatives with more cores.
Their self-written "reviews" (under the name "CPUPro", "GPUPro" etc.) often dribble on about how AMD should have been focusing on gaming performance above all else because that's all end users cared about, rather than more cores for no gain, which in itself should tell you all you need to know about what they try to push. Intel CPUs were reviewed favourably and their average weighting system adjusted to put them ahead of AMD counterparts.
Once AMD came out with 12-core and 16-core options on AM4, UserBenchmark adjusted their average ratings to favour 4-thread performance almost exclusively as "that's all games use". It got to the point where their rating system was putting a 4-core, 4-thread i3-9350KF several percentage points ahead of an 18-core, 36-thread Core i9-9980XE. Real world experience tells us that 4-thread CPUs are starting to fall away in performance in modern games quite drastically.
Their website is also set up to very efficiently put themselves top of search rankings for things like "core i5 vs ryzen 5" - essentially it's SEO spam that misleads consumers who don't know any better.
If UserBenchmark has even one purpose, it's exclusively to see if your hardware is performing on par with expectations, as submitted by other users with the same hardware, and not for comparing different products. That said, I would just avoid giving them any clicks entirely.
Take a look at some of the results here: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/intel-core-i7-12700k-alde…
This and the following page cover some productivity and workstation performance numbers. Note whether the graphs are lower is better, or higher is better.
I would avoid overly genercised websites like cpubenchmark.net and especially userbenchmark. Instead look for specific results you care about, if possible.
Thanks! Haven't seen this article before and it's great.
Looks like the 12700k is the way to go. Motherboard prices have been pretty high though and still not much options out there for Mini ITX
For multicore-heavy workloads, AMD has the edge otherwise if single-thread performance matters like gaming I'd go Intel. Dont think excel does multicore very well, maybe a couple of cores but not all of them.
If you boil down performance per watt then ryzen 5000 is on par with Intel 12 th gen. Sure on paper Intel 12th gen is more powerful but that's at a cost of using an equivalent amount more of power
What motherboard would be recommend for this beast?
I've got one, a 5950x, it's paired in my case with ASUS AMD X570 ATX Gaming Motherboard,DDR4,AM4,Strix X570-E.
Research I did way back in April 2021 lead me that way.
X570S boards like ASUS, Gigabyte ones are good. I have the ASUS Crosshair VII Dark Hero paired with my 5900X.
If overclocking pair it with good RAM that is on their QVL list.
Don't need a beast motherboard really, it doesn't use any more power than a 5900x.
MSI X570 Tomahawk would be my pick, don't spend more for the X570S version, it has no chipset fan, however the chipset fan on the X570 will never turn on anyway.
Still rocking my 8700K & 1080 Ti…Not needed but the deals lately are tempting.
Still rocking my 6700k+3060Ti. Still performs quite well for the things I use it for. Still, I'm just curious how much a 5950x would perform over my now ancient CPU…
Oh fuuu that's getting towards 5900x pricing….
I don't need either, but want one.This or 12900?
Depends
12900 has 8 more powerful cores, and 8 less powerful cores.
If you actually need a multicore CPU, then the 5950x would be superior.
If you want something as an all rounder the 12900, or even the 12700 would be better as the single core performance is superior
Thanks! Then 12700 it is.
I'm gaming on a 5600G and a GTX 1080 currently. Keen to purchase a new GPU once prices settle down a bit. Also interested in picking up a 5800X or 5900X at some point, but I'm hesitant to invest in a dead-end CPU socket. How long will a 5800X or 5900X stay relevant in terms of performance?
I reckon for most people, the performance would be more than enough for work and gaming for a long time to come. However the more probing question would be whether the new platform/socket coming up would be ground breaking enough to wait for instead
5900x would still be relevant for next 2-3 years. Just like how 3900x is still performing well for any current workload.
sorry just a quick few q… would it be worthwhile updating from an 3700x? to this or one of the other 5000 series deals primarily for gaming? And i dont really want to fix replace my motherboard so would a 5800x or 5900x work on an x570 board? thanks!
Sorry just quickly googled, yes it will work on an X570 Board so thats good, but is it a worthwhile upgrade over a 3700x?
Prices might come down the closer towards am5 we get..
thanks
It will be alot faster CPU but it's quite a beast compared to a 3700X.As gaming depends alot on CPU, Memory speed and GPU it might be a better upgrade if you went to faster RAM (not too much $$$) or a better GPU (still alot of $$$).
What do you have paired to the 3700X in the GPU, Memory and SSD parts?
Or if it's feeling fine these days just wait for AM5 by the end of this. You always have the option to put in a less $$$ 5950X a year or two from now as well.
Even a 5600X or 5800X would be a reasonable upgrade over a 3700X if your other parts are good. Those parts will drop faster in price than the 5950X.
Great CPU, purchased it for about $1100 few months back.
