Quartet Infernale from Ryzen 5 5600X, Ryzen 7 5800X, Ryzen 9 5900X and Ryzen 9 5950X – Which Ryzen type are you and what should you really afford as a gamer?

Summary

The normal case is represented very well with Horion Zero Dawn, Total War: Three Kingdoms also shows that you can even beat Intel in your own promo games and with World War Z you can then completely humiliate the blue faction. The games like Far Cry New Dawn and Shadow of the Tomb Raider are certainly an exception, but you can’t ignore them either. Leaving aside the exceptions on Ultra-HD, all the new Ryzens perform really well, with the Ryzen 5 5600X being the most efficient.

The Ryzen 5 5600X is convincing in its performance class, as the Intel Core i5-10600K is very often literally pushed away. The Ryzen 9 5900X is often enough on par with the Intel Core i9-10900K in terms of power consumption, at least in gaming, and even surpasses it in some scenarios. But not always. Seen in this light, Intel is also still up to date with the Core i9-10900K.

The Ryzen 7 3800X is such a candidate, which has the Ryzen 5 5600X under control in terms of gaming performance, but leaves this out in terms of price, power consumption and also heat development and loosely loses the advantage. Neither fish nor meat, the Ryzen 7 5800X is a bit of a flag squadron officer – it wasn’t enough to make him an officer and as a non-commissioned officer he is too expensive. If you want or need to save money, take the 6-core, the rest equal to the 12-core, which is not that much more expensive.

The Ryzen 9 5950X is the top model and it behaves like one. Performance top, but unfortunately also thirst. And so it may be the new performance king, but the Ryzen 9 5900X, which is hardly slower but much cheaper, is much better at drinking. But what they all have in common is the fact that AMD has not only caught up, but in many scenarios it has also overtaken more or less significantly, and with this realization, Dr. Lisa Su will probably also be able to sleep a little better.

 

Conclusion

The Ryzen 5 5600X is the winner of hearts, even if it is significantly more expensive than its predecessor. But performance can also be gold plated AMD, that’s the way things are. One is committed to the investors and not a charity that has to sell competitive products without compulsion. One must always be aware of this before judging. That’s what everyone else does in the end. The Ryzen 9 5900X is the small big Ryzen, which is offered at a lower price and yet can do everything almost as well as its big brother. 12 cores will certainly still be enough in the next few years, so you really have to consider whether it will have to be the full 16-core drone.

The Ryzen 7 5800X falls a little bit through the cracks here. This is not due to his performance, that is undisputed. But it is only just ahead of the much cheaper and more efficient Ryzen 5 5600X, and in terms of price it is more like the Ryzen 9 5900X, which performs much better. You can do that, but you’d better look up or down. But that was already the case with the Ryzen 3000, so the 3800X in particular remained a kind of niche.

AMD has achieved a great success with Zen3, even if you don’t completely destroy Intel with it for now. But the feature set, together with the much more modern chipset and the ability to boost the upcoming Radeon cards, is sure to leave the new generation of Ryzen players wanting more. Generation of core CPUs. Intel must finally deliver again, otherwise in a few months you will have a real problem. Customers can be extremely resentful and the street price, after the first saturation, is also an unknown quantity that AMD could play into their hands once the costs have been recouped.
