It's time for already our 4th ZEN3 review, yes the much anticipated Ryzen 5 5800X. This is the processor that is on the watchlist of many with 8 cores and 16 threads if offers a bit more flexibility in threads, is a bit more future proof than the 6-core part, and sure, it offers gaming nirvana as well.

forgive me for being the wet blanket but I'm not as impressed as I'd have expected to be. However they are still impressive numbers but the pricing just isn't there.

Great review and thank you for all the hardwork Hilbert. We come to you for your honesty and integrity. Apologies if we seem pushy but we are just anxious!
I am on the fence between this and the 5600X CPU. That 50 USD premium plus scalping, plus increasing prices on the B550/X570 makes me wonder if 5600X would be enough.
There is less than 7 FPS difference with the right GPU which can be easily overcomes by a slight OC on CPU + GPU.
Hilbert, would you have time to do a review of PBO OC on the Ryzen 5000 series? Or if you have an Asus with DOC, maybe that with 4000 1:1 IF RAM settings?
Lastly, cannot wait to see this coupled with AMD 6800, XT or 6900 XT with SAM, and RAGE MODE.
It seems there are hidden power (AMD Fine Wine) waiting to be untapped!

I'm sure the prices will drop by January time, to try and reduce the chances of Intel stealing back some buyers with their next chip out in Q1.

Great CPU but i didn´t expect the 5600x to be so close regarding gaming performance. When we compare both, the 5800x loses some of his appeal.
But at the same time, the 5800x is more future proof, like Hilbert wrote. Though choice for a gamer.
Anyway, it´s too expensive for me but if i could find it below the 400€, there´s a (small) chance i would go for it.
Great review as always!
P.S. I won´t mind one of these for Christimas Hilbert, if you know what i´m saying.
There isnt any game to use that power , you need to check 720p and lower test on other sites to check that "future proofnes" , but as it seems , untill GPU power goes up or some strange effect/use of CPU is found in newer games, there isnt any point of anything above 6 core.
