today is an absolutely amazing day
if you are a tech enthusiast and that's
because
amd have announced their new zen3
processors with four different products
that they were showing off
in the presentation but the most
important thing coming out of this
announcement
was their 19 ipc
boost in performance and that is
instructions per
cycle so basically if we have a 5900x
and also 3900x that's the previous
generation
xen2 cpus clocked at both four gigahertz
all cores
on average the 5900x at those same clock
speeds
is going to give you 19 more performance
which is a huge gain especially in 2020
and if we look at intel for instance
they haven't really given us
any ipc gains for a very long time
so the fact that amd's doing this and
this feat alone
is really exciting for tech enthusiasts
in the land of cpus
however another big thing that came out
of this announcement
was the topology and the way that
they're structuring the zen 3
cpus where they're still using seven
nanometer
however within this field they're
changing their ccx module design and
that is
what they call the core complex from
four cores per ccx module
to now eight cores and so what this will
help do with the zen 3 cpus
is reduce latency as well as of course
improve performance
and so bringing this back now to the
gaming numbers
we're seeing here the amd 5900x as a
result of
the ipc boosts and also the different
ccx module design
is set to give a 7 performance boost
over that of intel's i9 10 900
k even and then a 26
performance boost at 1080p gaming over
the previous generation ryzen 9 3900x
which if these numbers are true and of
course we're going to have to wait
and see until we get our hands on these
and actually
test these cpus but if these numbers are
true and amd can even
just squeeze out the gaming performance
crown over intel
on these 1080p titles then this is huge
news because it means
that amd are now going to be the
performance king
as well as the value king as well as the
multi-core
performance king as well and so this is
easily looking like
it's going to be a huge release for amd
if they can indeed especially in the
gaming performance numbers
pull off this feat over intel now in the
title of my video today i'm actually
more excited about the 5800x
ryzen 7 over the ryzen 9 5900x
now i am very excited don't get me wrong
about the 5950x
ryzen 9 as a video editor personally but
as a gamer the 5800x being on a single
ccx module
i believe could give even better
performance than that of the 5900x
where we've seen in the past for
instance i'll give you guys an example
with the 3300x cpu that was four cores
eight threads but when i put that cpu
through the gaming benchmarks
that was giving sometimes better numbers
than even a 3900x and a 3950x
and that was because it was on a single
ccx module
and so it had the best latency out of
any amd
ryzen cpu so the 5800x being on a single
ccx module
but offering eight core 16 threads over
the 3 300 x's 4
cores 8 threads and of course having
much better ipc
is something that i'm really looking
forward to personally and i feel like
this cpu
could be the one to get if you're a
gamer so back to the announcement
here's where amd talked about four
different models being released
on november 5 so that's roughly in a
month's time
and the biggest differences here was
that there was actually a trend
across all these four cpus and that was
that there are
fifty dollars usd more than their
previous predecessor cpus
of the same core count and similar
modeling for instance
the ryzen 9 59 50 x has 16 cores 32
threads and so did
the ryzen 9 39 50 x and another
trend that's going through all these
four models is that the base clock
frequencies
are now 100 megahertz lower but then the
boost frequencies
are advertised as being 200 megahertz
higher and that's basically the max
single core performance where the 5950x
is said to have a 4.9 gigahertz single
core boost
which will make this the fastest ryzen
cpu
in terms of single core boost
frequencies out of the box
to date but if we look closely as well
with the coolers
we'll notice one more thing and that's
this time around besides the flagship
3950x and this time around the 5950x not
having an included cooler
there is no included cooler now with the
5900x
and in particular the 5800x where those
cpus if we look at the 3900x
and also the 3800x they came included
with a wraith prism
cooler and honestly i absolutely loved
this
raised prism cooler i thought it had the
bling it also had decent cooling
performance
and for an included cooler it just made
a ryzen cpu purchase
just that much better value so i am a
little bit sad to see that amd
is taking away this cooler with the new
5000 series cpus
where if we looked at the ryzen 7 3700x
for example
that came in at a price tag of 329 usd
had that really good cooler and had
those eight core 16 threads
of unstoppable performance but then
we're looking at the 5600x and there's a
similar thing going on with the cooling
situation here too
even though the tdp is that of a
ryzen 5 3600 of 65 watts so
it's actually 30 watts lower than the
3600 x
they're including the wraith stealth
which the 3600x traditionally had
the wraiths by a cooler included with it
so they have upped the prices a little
bit
and they have stopped including as good
as a cooler or no cooler at all
versus the predecessor cpus that they
launched last year
however on that note amd as a company i
do like to see them making better
margins
it's something they have to do for
ongoing r d costs and to make sure that
they can get those gains
and keep delivering as a company though
in relation to the zen 3 launch the last
thing to talk about
is the motherboards and this is where
all the 500 series motherboards
will support the upcoming 5000 series
cpus
you'll most likely just simply have to
update your bios and then you'll be good
to go
but in terms of the older boards say the
b450s or the x470s
there's no word on this and whether they
will support the upcoming cpus
but i believe if a320 is anything to go
by
i remember when ryzen 3000 was announced
there was this word that the a320s
wouldn't work with the new cpus but
lo and behold about a month later the
board vendors are releasing bios updates
and the new ryzen 3000 series back then
were working with a320 boards and i
thought it was such
a good combo to have a ryzen 5 3600 for
example with the included cooler
and then have those boosts out of the
board which worked on an a320 by the way
and those memory speeds the 3200
megahertz xmp profiles
that offered some incredibly good value
for money
if you're into the proverbial cookie
cutting of pc building which
i personally love to delve in myself the
last thing i couldn't help but notice
with this presentation especially even
on the cpu side of things was that there
was a real
heavy focus on gaming as opposed to
especially in the last few launches of
verizon they've focused
a lot on both and in particular the
productivity numbers where this time
around
they did show some boosts of course in
productivity which i'm looking forward
to as
editing in adobe premiere pro a lot and
doing a lot of productivity on my
computer personally but the gaming focus
was definitely
a big thing this time around more so
than it's ever been so i do
think it's possible that amd will come
out on top this time around
as the gaming king and i really hope
they do and that will just make such
a new world for amd in the cpu
side of things so let's talk about the
radion rx 6000 series cards where
they showed us a 4k slide here
with three different games and that was
borderlands 3
call of duty modern warfare and gears of
war 5.
now out of these three titles i have
done a lot of testing recently
with call of duty modern warfare and
especially at
max settings now in this game in
particular there is no quality preset so
amd radeon saying ultra quality
could mean a variety of different
settings but at least when i did my
testing i tested at max settings of 4k
and i found unfortunately for these
numbers that i'm seeing here on the
screen
that the rtx 3080 was coming
a bit above these numbers right here so
just being straight with you guys
these numbers don't look that impressive
initially however if it's one thing that
we've seen from
amd especially in the last few years
and especially in terms of the radeon
division is that they love to play
mind games and debate the competitor
nvidia into doing some funky stuff with
pricing
and right before release date
performance figures where with the 5600
xt we saw this last minute change where
reviewers got given these v bios updates
and i got given this v
bios update and it changed i had to go
back and retest all my numbers again so
hopefully we don't see a repeat of that
hopefully we just see
an awesome launch that does bring if
it's not going to take nvidia's
performance crown
hopefully it does bring a lot of price
performance competition
to the market and that's one thing i'm
hoping for personally but
one thing that's been left out on nvidia
and amd's side in relation to
all the products is that there's no real
focus on
entry level products this time around
and you may be wondering that
why are we not seeing the x cpus being
talked about why are we not seeing
the four core ryzen 3 5300 or something
like that not being talked about
and this comes back to the fact that i
think in 2020
there is actually a shortage on silicon
out there in the market especially the
stuff that everyone wants like seven
nanometer and in case of
nvidia they're on eight nanometer from
samsung
and so these companies are going to
prioritize their
higher stacked products where they're
making more margins
on those products per se so i believe
that this time around
you may actually see the delay of these
entry level or value for money
orientated products be delayed more than
they have been in the past
compared to the higher performing and
also flagship products
that have been released initially and
you'll see this with say an rtx 3050
that probably won't be released for
quite a while yet and i'm just hoping
that as a budget and price performance
enthusiast myself
i'm hoping that either of these
companies can release something
on this market here because i think it's
just as much in need as the higher end
stuff is in need as well for
people who want the latest and greatest
and with all that out of the way
do let us know in the comments section
below which of these
ryzen 5000 zen 3 cpus
are you looking forward to the most and
why
and with that aside we've got the
question of the day here which comes
from ar drixby
and they ask is a ryzen 5
good
yes it's good i hope that answers that
question and if you guys have stayed
