AMD is on the rise. AMD are rock stars who have managed to shake up the processor market.
Okay, if we look at how many players there are in this market, we realize it’s not that hard to beat just one other manufacturer.
Because these are the ones who struggle on this slice for consumers.
And since it’s been 15 years since Intel launched the Core 2 Duo, it’s hard to realize that essentially the roles have just been reversed. For the second time. Remember Athlon and the first 1 GHz switch.
Mom, what a good time AMD had then.
But it is a pity that only where they work, in the market for users. From a business point of view, Intel continued to return money with a shovel.
And look, now AMD is threatening in both areas. They came with full offerings and filled in exactly the gaps that Intel filled with some ++++.
And in the end they got past them where we really care. In games.
In this review we will find out exactly how much they bit from the game slice. And especially if in the end I beat them in everything. That’s what I want to see.
But I don’t know why I feel this stupid desire to see Intel hit hard.
I’m not a fanboy and recently bought an i3 for the mouse platform.
But I seem to be pleased to see that AMD is still making some money and maybe it will recover with its GPUs thanks to the cash contribution.
They are the latest flagship that AMD has to offer. They are the star processors in their portfolio.
Ryzen 9 5950X is the one of creams from creams. All CCXs are intact and rise at high frequency. At least in theory because the sample I received in the review did not reach 4.8 GHz. Ok, I found this frequency in the logs. But that means it has been appearing in my monitoring software for too long.
The Ryzen 9 5900X has four fewer cores than its big brother. And here AMD can juggle as they wish. Either I use two CCXs with two cores disabled each, or a whole CCX and a half.
But should we worry? Not. Not really, not exactly. The performance difference between the different configurations has become so small that it doesn’t really matter.
The big news of these processors over the 3000 series is the L3 cache. That game cache, as AMD likes to stroke it, does nothing more than be a cache shared by all cores. That is, what Intel was doing with the Core 2 Duo in 2006. When it had L2 in common for all cores.
Specifications
I have to admit that the frequencies look crazy in the table. 4.9 GHz to see on a Ryzen. PFOA!
It directly tells you that the razor games will work.
From this table we received the 5900X and 5950X for the first review. So we will give them full attention.
It is extremely important to pay attention to the CCD / core combination.
Each CCD can contain a maximum of 8 cores. And when you see the 5600X with 6 cores and a single CCD, you can conclude for yourself that 2 extra cores were defective or disabled.
If this is the first case, it could mean that the other cores left active on the CCD are not the brightest. If it comes to deliberately turning them off, we should see very good frequencies. But since they put the turbo frequency below, I’d say they’re just slightly weaker CCDs in terms of quality.
If you remember when 1usmus appeared, it was explained that not all cores of a Ryzen processor are the same. And if the core is not. 2, for example, can reach 4.9 GHz, as written in the specs, this does not guarantee that every core of that processor will work in load on a single core in the same way as that core with number 2.
