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.

I agree. It's weird having the lower core chips with lower clock speeds. The higher core chips should be lower due to thermal limits.
I don't need 12 or 16 cores, but 4.9Ghz boost would still be beneficial on 6 core and 8 core chips.

Awesome product, but i really think amd made a mistake by not making a high binned single 8 core ccx cpu - imagine a 5850x with the 8 core clock pattern of the 5950x, or even better !
Cause the single ccx setup should eliminate alot of the latency and jittery connected to using several ccx's.
I am not sure we have seen all of their rabbits that may be in their hat yet.

Thanks @Hilbert Hagedoorn . I do wonder if AMD will end up discounting the 5800X to make it the lower 8-core part and do a higher binned 8-core part to fill out the portfolio?
I'm on the fence upgrading my 1800x since I play at 2k. I may just get a new GPU and run the 1800x into the ground. Not certain yet.

The "X" model usually is the best of that tier, so I would not count on a higher binned chip.
You can always upgrade to 3700X when you see a good discount, you'll benefit from better IPC and memory latency, although not as much compared to 5800X.
I think AMD purposely chose to super bin for the 5950X and 5900X to beat Intel, 5800X and 5600X are just getting the scraps. Makes me wonder if will be any 5600, specially with the price hike indicating they didn't want to cannibalise on the 3000 series.
I was hoping to upgrade my 2600 for better IPC, but I don't see 3000 series falling on price anytime soon.
