1:00 the 4.65GHz OC should read as 5900X.

The only bottleneck is my wallet

The 5950X is king, but the 5900X is the best overall value. I'm building a new workstation and server for multi-threaded development and need to spin up some VMs, so I chose the 5900X for both. 48 threads in all to work with for only $1100 in total CPU investment. It's crazy good.

i'm honestly surprised to see that the extra cores doesn't hurt the performance of games that use less threads. Shows that they really nailed it with this version of Zen.

Anyone find a video comparison where they do gameplay with live x264 encoding with OBS?

A most-excellent analysis, sir. You just earned yourself another subscriber.

Can you make more work-station related benchmarks? Like compile time of applications in certain languages (not just Chrome or Firefox source compilation). Database performance, etc.

This was an awesome video, great job!

I use my pc for music production and video editing, and light gaming, at first I was using a ryzen 7 3700x. But now I got my hands on a Ryzen 9 5950x, and let me tell you, the difference is day and night, I can move faster without having to wait 15 minutes to render a 4K video, now I can get it done in 5 minutes, and then move to my next project. I got the 5950x over the 5900x because the extra cores, I use so many plugins and virtual instruments while I'm mixing a costumer's project, such like compressors, pitch plugins, reverts...ect. the type of plugins that I use can max out to 100% an 8 core CPU easy, plus having to mix the vocals in the same project really put a lot of stress on the CPU some people masteries and mix the beat on one project and then use the whole beat and move to another project to mix it with the vocals. But that's not efficient and time consuming, because if lets say that you finish the whole project like that (mixing the vocals ) and then want to make some changes to the beat only, then you have to go back to the old project (if you haven't delete it) and then make changes to the beat, and then mix it again with the vocals. That's time consuming. But with this beast of a CPU I can mix the beat and the vocals in the same project and my CPU will handle the load. The load of a game is nothing compare to this type of projects. One more thing if you just planning on making beats, an 8 core CPU will be just fine, but when you start getting into the more professional aspect of music, you will need expensive software, and hardware. ( in case some in the comments be like: "oh but 8 core is just fine for music") Thank you.

THANK YOU FOR THE REVIEW

Hi! Could you tell me about your fan speeds then measuring temperatures? I have 5950X with Kraken X73 push/pull on front, with fans on about 40-50% of max speed and my Ryzen in Warzone gets about 65-68'C.

Cemented my decision to get the 5900X - thanks!

Will you be reviewing the updated MSI Alpha 15? The one with the Ryzen 4800h processor and rx5600m gpu

There is no need for a gaming machines to have 5950X. 5950X is mainly for pro-consumer use where cores matter more than frequency and time is money. For example if you main activity is large code base compilation then going with 5950X will most likely save time (and money). For majority of people there is no need to go beyond 5900X.

Considering I don't replace my CPU very often and that I use my PC for more than just gaming, the price difference is worth it for the 5950X.

Thanks, great charts.

would be nice to see some compile time benchmarks (c++, java)

Can you explain or do a video on what they'll do while streaming and encoding? I'm trying to build a gaming and streaming PC all in one.

Hello! game tests were runned with OC or without? thank you!

Thanks I agree with the other guy int his comment going for the 5900x really don't see much difference and I'll use the extra funds to get other parts for my new build.

Thanks!!

What your opinion when it comes to gaming and streaming? Hard to find benchmarks

Would still love to see a 5800X vs 10850K comparison! Battle of the $450 USD processors.

Hey Jarrod, how do you make those graphs that you show for comparisons and for your tests?

Good and informative video. Please do the same for six and eight cores. I'm super interested in seeing the gaming differences between a 5600X and a 5800X.

Really great video. Thx.

Good Job! Now I want to see the same with 12 vs 8 core ryzen 5000 series!

Not to knowledgeable on pc’s but am learning. Do you think the extra cores would benefit for streaming and gaming on the same pc. Or would it still be better to have a second pc to stream?

Hello Jarrod, can you please compare the 5600x, 5800x and 5900x for gaming so we can see which is the best gaming cpu? Please

Hello, got a problem with my g14 - after disconecting it from external monitor (usbc-dc connection to xiaomi with conected speakers), lowtone speakers of the g14 were not playing (hightone speakers works fine, i think). I have tried to reinstal everything (drivers and system), and nothing helped. Some time later, after a 2 or 3 reconeconecting attemps to the monitor, lowtone speakers suddenly started to work again, but after an hour, they turn off again (monitor was connected durning this time). Have someone idea what can be the problem?

Great video

Did you adjust memory timings?

1:10 CPU Overclocks - Both are 5950X :p

I would recommend running two instances of handbrake at the same time, 1080p is diminishing returns past 6 cores.

"To help you decide which to pick" Well you can't pick anything.

So if I have a 3900x and upgrade to either of these, would I have to reinstall windows? Obviously I would upgrade the bios and chipset drivers before hand but not sure if it would be better to reinstall windows or if it is not needed

Excelent comparison

Very happy this was in my recommended, subbed! makes me regret my 5950x pre order.

*R9-3900x owner here* I do light productivity, but the applications I use NEVER use my 12-core CPU fully (with a caveat I explain). I get close in Handbrake but even there it varies a lot depending on what settings I use, the video resolution etc. The only way I can actually get to 100% usage is to start a second Handbrake session... so I might average around 80% usage encoding one video, but open a 2nd video (or queue of videos to convert) and it jumps to 100% usage... so if you are converting two or more videos then you should split between two, open Handbrake Windows (just queue one up, then queue the second window and when you're ready start the 1st queue then immediately start the 2nd queue)... obviously can get NOISY at 100% CPU usage if your cooling and/or fan profile isn't sufficient... I can't justify a 16-core CPU frankly but I do think my 12-core will last me around ten years as games get better threaded (and applications will probably depend more and more on graphics acceleration).

Thank you so much for putting this effort on testing this CPUs. It's probably the most complete test all over the Internet.

Was the gamming results at stock or oc

Thank you finally work related

There are other faster M.2 drives almost twice as fast write speeds as the one you used so this will definitely make a difference, your drive has 4500MB sequential read rates and 3200MB sequential write rates whereas the Sabrent Rocket Gen4 (1T) has read/write 5000/4400 and there's another drive as well I forget the make that has read/write 5800/5500

Wanted to know even though I'm planning to get a 5900X. Wishlist :)

What is the voltage of that 4.65ghz 5900x? Im currently running my 5900x at 4.5ghz 1.25v and my temps are 75-78c in cinebench r23.

thanks for the comparison. It would read a bit btter if you use different colour bar for 2 different CPU.

I'll be making extensive use of docker and containers and vms, so more CPU is always welcome, if I can afford them.

The 5900X is the best bang for your buck.

here just for info cos these CPU's are outta my budget

at 1:04 you have the text on screen for comparison as both showing 5950's for OC Frequency and Voltage.

Great comparison

You should test it with highly cpu demand titles like some RTS games like Total War series, it also have built in benchmark and dear god i hope this can be a good gap for my running heavily modded late-game Stellaris lol

Solid review, been wondering which to get but now I'm sure - 5900x is my choice. Davinci is where I'll be most of the time but even a 10-20% (best case) improvement isn't enough to sway me to pay 45% more.

"No. But I want them."

Would the 5950x be better for streaming and gaming from the same PC? I currently have a Ryzen 5 2600 and 3060 graphics card. Bottleneck calculator says the CPU bottlenecks the GPU by 42%. When I'm plating my favorite game "Icarus" on high settings, I average 55fps but when I'm streaming it drops to 30fps at best. I'm looking to upgrade to the 5900x or 5950x. The 5900 currently £100 cheaper than the 5950x but I'm just not sure if it'll be worth the cost.

How did you manage to get 81C with the 5950x at 4.7GHz and 1.37V??? I have mine at 4.6GHz and 1.30V with an Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 and my temps with Cinebench R20 are mid 80s.

can you please review 'Asus Rog Strix G17' - 'G712LV-BS71-CB' model...

i've been trying to get the 5950x for a machine learning project but there is no stock, most of sellers offer me the 5900 but i think for the purposes that i want it for is simply not enough, i wonder when is 5950x stock gonna be refilled.

Why is the single core score lower for over clocked? Is it only all core overclocked?

would u rather get a nitro 5 with a 1650ti or a metabox alpha-s with a 1650?

Love to see things which I can't afford.

jarrod, please review hp pavilion gaming 15 with i5 10300H and RTX 2060 MQ

All I can say that rgb on my ceiling fan increased its speed 50%

9:39 YES in Death Stranding all you do is walk around for hours. I took this personally -Michael Jordan

This is brilliant. Genius.

@Jarrod's tech how about for gaming and streaming both at the same time , can we get some benchmarks for games like rainbow six , call of duty multiplayer, multiplayer games etc. gaming and streaming both at the same time !! Thanks is advance for the efforts you make to provide us such informative videos , really appreciate it 👍

Handbrake usually sees dramatically decreased efficiency per core when given more than 8 cores.

Hello bro, i want to purchase a laptop and my budget goes as far as 60k so pls would you suggest any best overall laptop so i can play high end games also

I was wondering what speeds stockfish (the chess engine) runs at between the two processors

9:43 Savage 😂😂

will this work on the apex 15?

I wonder if having 2 CPUs in dual channel is possible/have been attempted before. Just curious

When will you do the smart access memory review (500 series motherboard + Ryzen 5000 CPU + Radeon 6000 GPU)?

Both the 5900x and 5950x have higher boost speeds above your static OC. The 5900x can manage around 4.7Ghz all core, with single core boosts up to 4.95Ghz. The 5950x will scale slightly around the same, however it usually manages 5Ghz or higher single core speeds, with all core sitting closer to 4.7ghz-4.8ghz. So by locking these you lowered their performance by a decent margin. As a side note, these clocks are achieved with Curve Optimizer, so your results may vary of course. But either way, Ryzen 5000 does not like to be overclocked manually.

i just built my video editing rig. 5900x with an evga GeForce rtx 3080, 64gb ram, and 980 pro m.2 drives all sitting on a gigabyte x570 aorus extreme mb. so far so good!

Personally, for performance I tend to focus more on the GPU’s capabilities rather than the CPU. The hardest working component in any PC is the graphics architecture performance. A CPU does not solely indicate the speed of any PC. A PC is only as fast as it’s slowest component.

Can you make a comparison for PC setup with Ryzen 9 5950X + Radeon RX 6800 XT vs PC setup with Intel i9 10900K + Nvidia RTX 3080 / 3090 please...

All those tests are one at a time tests. What about a test where you record a 4K video in OBS using software encoding (CPU) - for example doing this on my Ryzen 1700 @ stock pushes it to 100% usage. I'd be interested in comparing a 5900x with 5950x for this same task. And yes I know you can use hardware encoding - this is not very effective in 4K recording + gaming at the same time on an RX480. While yes, sure, if I upgraded CPU I'd upgrade GPU as well, I think it's the principle of the matter - how would these CPU's compare in software encoding in OBS? The numbers I'm after are what % of CPU is being used for the task. Example: if a 5900x was at 90% utilization in this task, it would push me towards getting the 5950x instead.

your aio is mounted the wrong way. the connectors need to point down or be below the radiator. it doesnt have to cause problems but it certainly can...

Is it 4.7Ghz all cores ?

Next 5600x vs 5800x vs 5900x? :D

... That the one that is not intended for games but for 3d graphics, but maybe in games they are not very different and the 5950x even loses somewhere, but in rendering complex projects it will definitely be faster. (If not translated correctly, then I wrote in the translator🌝)

Benchmark Planet Coaster! I want to see an over the top mega park in 30 FPS.

including corona benchmark is a good choice since devs does not update the core of the benchmark like cinebench does (thus make previous results irrelevant..)

I like the 5800x3D for gaming, the 5950x for heavily threaded CPU workloads, and the 5900x for a compromise between the two.

Is the hp pavilion gaming laptop with R5 and 1650 listed for 449 in bestbuy good?

Going to be getting the 5900x and the rtx 3080👌

If you have a 6800XT AMD sample, could you pair it with 5900X, and compare to 5900X+ 3080 (if possible using 32GB 3600 CL16 RAM, and be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 50.5 CFM CPU Cooler or Noctua NH-D15), and use all tricks AMD, and NVIDIA has on stock settings, only 1080p and 1440p (4k testing is not needed for most users). + if it is possible using Asus TUF GAMING B550-PLUS (WI-FI or not version) ATX AM4 Motherboard. Thank you :)

2022 and I just got the 5950X at 5900X pricing😀

The 5950X is $399.00 and the 5900X is $299.00 right now in 2024.

Simple, if you are gaming only most of the time, and sometimes doing adobe thingy, get yourself a good 5600x. If you are gaming and streaming at the same time get yourself a lovely 5900x, it is good for multi processing too. If time will cost you money, then get 5950x. I would like to recommend graphic card, but for now, stick to what you have. They are all out of stock!

Beginner BLENDER user and my target is to make UNITY 3D game and move to ZBrush..My current PC is COREI7 8700 .should I upgrade to AMD 9 3900x/5900x for better performance or would it be not worth it? If not I will wait for ZEN 4 AMD processor..

how about in Multi game loading? if i open and switch 2-3 games isnt the 5950x way way better?

anything from 5600 to 5950 is a good pick if you can get one in next 3 month.

market bots: ILL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK

id like to see the 3900x vs 5900x vs 7900x vs 3950x vs 5950x vs 7950x with the 4090 and 4080 and 4070ti with uptodate driver and benchmarks, if you get the time

Can you do this again with stream performance? I like to see games like Apex Legends, Fortnite, Warzone, Valorant, etc tested.

Good vid

Excellent

Couldn't decide and picked both. :)
