All time low on this CPU even though its an older one. Good enough for my purposes.
CamelCamelCamel.
If the motherboard vrms can take it
B450 gaming pro carbon bebbeh!
Wow. Prices on Zen3 have droped heaps
This or second hand 5950x
5950x will use less power and run cooler
Really good to know that
According to Tom's Hardware, 5900X uses less power.
However, if you are considering those 2, I would probably choose 5950X. I don't think power consumption is a key factor when you are considering either one of the CPUs.
@netsurfer: That's when stressing all cores which would mean it would complete the work faster then go to idle meaning the end result of less power used.
@AreYouAWiiizard: Obviously, it's task dependent:
Web Browsing on Ryzen 9 5950X and Ryzen 9 5900X
Ryzen 9 5900X does better in Web browsing, which doesn't take all cores. Anyway, this is all about AM4, otherwise, honestly, there are better options for tasks needing high core count.
5950x will use less power
What about performances?
I'll install a proper cooler anyways so 5950 or 5900X?
5950X performs better of course. However, you need to make sure you have usages which benefit a lot from high core count (i.e. video rendering). Otherwise, it will be a FOMO purchase.
I think you mean 7950x will use less power?
depends on price and what cha gonna do with those extra four cores anyway? I think all games going forward will be built expecting 8 cores, playstation 4 and 5 and xbox 1 and ss sx all have 8, so having an extra 4 just for windoze and chrome and whatever else you got going on…
Amazon price matching Scorptec who have had this price for weeks
Anyone shopping Zen 3 should wait for the pre Black Friday sales as the real clearance deals will be happening this year
Package Weight: 10.0 pounds
which is ~4.5kg. Packaging seems excessive for shipping a 79g CPU chip without a heatsink. Then again,
1 A batteries required
which is hard to find.
Amazon needs to put in some bricks to make it 4.5Kg.
This or 5800x3d?
Depends. Do you just game? Or do you need productivity performance?
Most demanding thing would be gaming, I don’t do any compiling etc,
If you want to utilise existing AM4 setup and gaming is the top priority, then 5800X3D.
Similar question, for Counter-Strike 2 is the 5900X better because higher clock speed?
Great price. I've got a 5600X and don't need the extra cores (and associated heat given I've got an ITX case) but anyone on a 2000 series who have been holding out should jump on this!
