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.

That's just it. They spoiled me with the 3700X. Of course we may yet see a 5700X or something but that loses it's luster fairly quickly because the 5800X is already slower than "the fastest". Of course a bit of OC should fix that.
Yeah. I feel like AMD should have only raised the prices of the enthusiast chips if they absolutely needed to raise prices. It was a mistake to raise the prices of mainstream CPUs, like this 8-core one. Perhaps once Intel gets Rocket Lake out, AMD will lower the prices, who knows. Though I otherwise do find this 5800X quite a jolly CPU based on the review, the price increase leaves me unimpressed. I didn't care so much about the price hikes of the enthusiast CPUs because I wouldn't buy them anyway. Not that I'd buy this either, already having a 3700X system, but theoretically I could have bought this if I was still suffering with the old Intel one.

Actually, the more I think about this, we should give AMD the extra 50 USD for one good reason, to give Intel the big finger for effing us over the years since 2600 with their pitiful 100 Mhz increments until Zen 1 came out.
We need AMD to get to monster level Enterprise to shake up the industry. Glad to see Apple and ARM jumping into the PC CPU RACE to keep both Intel and AMD in check as well... sorry for political drift...

The thing that bugs me about the 5800x is that once you buy it, you may soon end up slapping yourself in the face for not putting $100 more for the 12c 5900x.

I've chose the 5800x over 5600x for one reason only... because I'm upgrading my main components only once per 6-8 years. Graphics cards are something else in this case, they have shorter life span for me, but I do not feel like changing Mobo, CPU, RAM every other year or so.
I've chose the more future proof (hopefully) CPU with one Core complex for better compatibility too. And as I'm not using my PC for "hard" work (for the most part), the 5900x does not appeal to me so much.
