AMD has officially announced its Ryzen 5XXX CPUs. As we’ve already reported, these CPUs promise to offer the best single-thread performance in PC games. AMD also claims that its high-end model will surpass Intel’s competitor, the i9 10900K.
AMD Zen 3 promises to have a higher max boost, significant IPC uplift, new core layout, and new cache topology. In fact, AMD claims that Zen 3 offers a 19% increase in single-thread scenarios over the previous Zen CPUs.
AMD will release four models of Zen 3 on November 5th. These four models are: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and AMD Ryzen 9 5950X.
The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X will have six CPU cores, will support 12 threads, and can turbo boost at 4.6Ghz. It will also have 35MB of total cache, and a 65W TDP. This CPU will be priced at $299.
The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X will have eight CPU cores, will support 16 threads, and can turbo boost at 4.7Ghz. It will also have 36MB of total cache, and a 105W TDP. This CPU will be priced at $449.
The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X will have twelve CPU cores, will support 24 threads, and can turbo boost at 4.8Ghz. It will also have 70MB of total cache, and a 105W TDP. This CPU will be priced at $299.
Lastly, the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X will have sixteen CPU cores, will support 32 threads, and can turbo boost at 4.9Ghz. It will also have 72MB of total cache, and a 105W TDP. This CPU will be priced at $799.
Overall, AMD plans to beat Intel in every possible scenario, so it will be interesting to see how the blue team will respond!

Well, time to retire my 2700x system, served me well but ryzen 3 is so damn good looking!
Glad to see Zen continuing to offer substantial performance improvements, just a shame about the price. I bought a 3700X just last year, so I’ll be holding onto that for a few years. Maybe by 2022, once Zen 4 is out, we’ll see good discounts on the 5900X that’ll tempt me to upgrade.
AMD Ryzen 9 5900X is 549$ not 299$
this is an intel move. not a good look amd
I mean if it was an intel move you wouldn’t get over 20% performance increase but I think they increased prices a bit too much.
What do you mean by “Intel move” ?
Bravo, well done AMD.

You mean $549?
I am planning to switch to AMD next time, it looks so much better for video editing and more.
Bend over, Intel, it’s gonna be rough.
5800X
105W TDP? will stick to my 3600 then… another fail
Yop. 3600 for the next 5 years
nerds
3600 will bottleneck a lot of newer high-end GPUs. Core- to core latency is not excellent.
Increasing prices across the board is a dumb, shortsighted move. What made Ryzen amazing was the value. I wouldn’t have switched to AMD from Intel if it was simply better performance. I would’ve waited for Intel to catch up and surpass if I’m going to be paying stupid prices anyway.
Intel be throwing fists…
price is too high… Was hoping to see R5 5600 at $199…
5600 wasn’t announced yet.
R5 5600 will probably be 250
I wanna build a new puter! I upgraded my old machine to an i7-4770k, I wonder if I should pair a 500 series chip set with ryzen 5 5600x?
Wonder if I should wait for 6000 series and ddr5?
I dunno.
If you need the upgrade now, do it. There’s no pointin waiting forever for the NEXT thing to come up if you need more performance NOW.
I want to built a new pc more than I need it.
The i7-4770k is no slouch and it easily oc if I needed a little more.

And now that Intel is tripping up, AMD ups the prices. I bought the 6-core 5820K for just over 300 back in 2015. I was thinking about going straight to 12-core but 550 bucks, f*k that. Now I’m rooting for Intel, cut-throat competition is good for the customer.
