AMD Ryzen 7 Vermeer 5700X BOX (100100000926WOF)

8 physical cores + 8 virtual threads

AMD Ryzen 7 5700X is one of the most powerful and productive 8-core processors of recent years, which replaced the popular 8-core Ryzen 7 3700X (Matisse family) among gamers. It is based on the Zen 3 microarchitecture (Vermeer core, 7 nm) and is compatible with most motherboards equipped with an AMD AM4 processor socket. Like most mid-range and high-end Ryzen processors, the Ryzen 7 5700X supports SMT technology and is capable of processing up to 16 data streams simultaneously.

Ryzen 7 5800X Alternative

With an advanced function block architecture, it delivers impressive single-core performance. AMD is talking about a 19% increase in power compared to the Matisse generation. When it comes to multi-core performance, the Ryzen 7 5700X is often compared in many media to the more expensive and powerful Ryzen 7 5800X processor. The hero of this review runs at 3.4 GHz, which is 400 MHz less than the 5800X, however, with a turbo boost, both processors are almost equal: the peak frequency of the 5700X is 4.6 GHz, which is only 100 MHz lower than the older brother. Both carry 32 MB of L3 cache on board, have a free multiplier and are friends with the PCI-E 4.0 bus.

The optimal processor for a gaming machine or workstation

As a result, the Ryzen 7 5700X looks like a slightly delayed gift to fans of the AMD brand, who at the sunset of the AM4 platform received a powerful and inexpensive 8-core gaming processor with low heat and high performance. And not just games. Fortunately, the computing capabilities of the device are ideal for resource-intensive tasks related to video processing and rendering, working with animation and special effects, as well as in many other areas.
