AMD Ryzen 7 Vermeer 5800X OEM (100-000000063)

Almost a flagship

At the end of October 2020, AMD again tried to turn the game around by introducing a completely new family of Ryzen Vermeer processors on the new Zen 3 core. previous generation) and are ready to break behind the progress of Intel processors.

8 cores, 16 threads, turbo boost up to 4.7 GHz

The hero of this review, the Ryzen 7 5800X, is technically a mid-ranger, but it is quite expensive and demonstrates outstanding performance, which in some reviews it was aptly called "a mid-range processor with flagship habits." The chip is equipped with 8 multi-threaded Zen 3 cores, 32MB L3 cache, and a dual-channel DDR4-3200 controller. Its base frequency is 3.8 GHz, which can be boosted up to 4.7 GHz. The nominal TDP of the processor is 105 W, and they ask for about $500 for this good. Although 3-4 years ago it was a normal price for some quad-core from Intel.

Beats the more expensive Core i9-10900K

Now from words to deeds. In single-threaded mode, the Ryzen 7 5800X outperforms the ten-core flagship Core i9-10900K by 8%, which is sold in stores for almost $200 more. Impressive? Definitely. In multi-threaded tests for archiving, compiling, mathematical operations and rendering, Ryzen's advantage grows to 15% in some places. However, in some tests, the Intel chip retains a slight advantage. In gaming tests, there is no trace of the former advantage of Intel either, both processors go head to head, and the gap between them does not exceed 3%. At the same time, in addition to the price, 2 such remarkable factors play on the AMD side, such as a lower TDP and synergy with new Radeon video cards based on the RDNA 2 core. somewhere plus 10% to the overall system performance just like that. It's like I put together a set of clothes in some RPG.
