AMD have just launched their ryzen zen 3
processors and in today's video we're going
to get straight into the numbers for you
guys
with those gaming benchmarks, where i've
tested here
1080p as well as 1440p and 4k
now today's focus will be on the 5900x
that's the Ryzen 9
5900x that uses seven nanometers and comes in
at a price point of $549,
but we'll also throw in the 5950x
results
for you guys that are thinking about
getting this CPU as well
in terms of the 5800x and also the 5600x
I am still waiting on them to come in and
we will talk about the overclocking a
little bit later
but going through all these 1080p
Numbers, 1440p
and even 4k well we coupled this with
the RTX 3090 (Founder’s)
and also the ASRock x570 Taichi
motherboard
we can see here that the performance out
of the Zen 3 cpus
is absolutely phenomenal it's pretty
much matching that of a 10900K
and so depending on the game and
you're probably going to see this
with the heaps of other games that are
getting tested out there depending on
the game
they are going to trade blows that was
pretty much my overall conclusion
of looking at these results i couldn't
really put my finger on
which one was the gaming king basically
pick a title
roll the dice and whether the 5900x or
the 10900k perform better than one
another
is really going to depend on that title
however going forward i will say one
thing
i do like the ipc gains on these new zen
3 processors what i measured here at my
studio
was around a raw 15 gain in ipc looking
at the cinebench results
which is a benchmark that amd heavily
uses and i've used that for comparing
ipc
in the past and it is these exact ipc
gains which is what i personally love as
a tech enthusiast
i want to see the company striving to
keep giving us better products
innovating the game and of course coming
out with the best numbers
which is where these new ryzen
processors really shine in my opinion
where we look at the productivity
numbers where the 5900x depending on the
benchmark that we pull up here we're
going from adobe
to v-ray to also center bench to 7-zip
the 5950x and the 5900x are in
another league and they do comfortably
beat out the previous generation zen
2 cpus which were considered the value
kings
of productivity and onto some more
really good news
for the ryzen processors here is that
the power consumption out of the box is
very well controlled
and in fact i do want to go and revisit
this and test it with more retail biases
coming out on different motherboards
where i was only limited to the taichi
x570
where the tdp was limited out of the box
and that's
what i wanted to test on because that's
all i know to go by
as to what the consumer is going to be
buying off the shelves
and here we can see that both these cpus
were being limited to 120 watts when we
had 110 watts on the cpu
plus the 10 watts on the soc and ryzen
master was showing this
and then the from the wall power
consumption figures were also
showing that the power consumption was
very well controlled
and giving out some amazing results
however then we overclocked the cpus and
this is the next part that we're going
to go into here
overclocking on these cpus was quite
simply phenomenal i was actually blown
away
to the point where i want to go out and
buy a retail sample
just to double check and make sure these
overclocks are indeed 100
and that i didn't get sent the best cpu
in the game or at least
on two of them where i was getting on
both the cpu is 4.7 gigahertz all core
overclocks and the results at these
levels were
absolutely phenomenal and the power
consumption was still very well
controlled
we were using up about the same power as
a 10 900 k for example when we're
overclocking
but we are getting much bigger results
however one thing that did concern me
here was that the ryzen master
reported that the safe or the
temperature limit was
90 degrees but we were going over that
90 degrees and the cpu wasn't shutting
down
and one more thing that was a little bit
concerning was these overclocks were
done 4.7 gigahertz all cause was done in
my queensland
humid temperature of 26 degree ambient
so i'm scratching my head as to
if the seven nanometer could improve
that much
in the span of a year so very very
impressive overclocks what i'm seeing so
far
though i will validate these with a
retail sample and then make a whole
dedicated video
towards ryzen 5000 overclocking
but in the meantime if you are an
enthusiast and you do see a lot of other
reviewers
getting really good scores with
overclocking and it's pretty much a
unanimous decision
then i would recommend going out and
getting some really good cooling
and a really good motherboard and you'll
be having very happy days
when it comes to getting the most out of
the enthusiast tech whether it be the
5900x
or the 5950x though speaking of
overclocking one thing that you will
want to do with these cpus
is install the ryzen master software
especially if you want to do an auto
overclock
here's where i did lock in the auto
overclock settings
and surprisingly they did a good job of
giving you a performance boost
without you having to tamper really
anything and the best thing was the
power consumption and also the
temperatures were also very well
controlled
at these levels so if you are a newcomer
to the world of pcs
but you still want to get that
overclocking feeling then the ryzen
master software is going to do a good
job
of enabling you to get into the world of
overclocking at least
in terms of hey you can tell your
friends you've got an overclocked cpu
and so far into this review it has been
nothing but praise
for amd's new cpus however one thing we
do have to take a look at and take a
step back
is take a look at the value for money
and here's where i made a chart
representative of the geekbench
multi-core score where i feel like that
was
generally overall a very good
representation
of the multi-core performance i then
took the current street pricing on the
cpus that are available
and then the upcoming msrps of the zen 3
processors and then added that into a
chart
and lo and behold we can still see that
the previous generation ryzen 5 3600
and also the 10400f those six core 12
threaded cpus
are still pulling out objectively the
best
value for money and so if you want to go
out and get a ryzen 9 5900x
do keep in mind that what are you really
going to be doing
with this cpu are you going to be using
it for productivity
is it going to be saving you time and
are you going to be coupling it with a
high-end gpu
if the answer is yes to either one of
those or both of those then the 5900x
and also the 5950x
are going to be really good purchases
that will save you a lot of time
on the flip side of things if you are on
a strict budget and you want to get a
better gpu
then it may be worth saving some money
and going with a previous
generation zen 2 ryzen cpu at cheaper
prices
and spending more money on a gpu and
before we move on to a conclusion the
final thing to talk about is the latency
involved with the cpus now amd has
increased the amount of causes
going into one module from four to eight
this time around and in turn that will
help reduce the latencies
however i couldn't really find any
benchmark specifically
to test this and in fact the w prime
benchmark that i was running here
wasn't really i guess running properly
for the new zen3 cpus we're actually got
some pretty odd results and also what i
used to measure on previous generation
ryzens
the ccx latency measure that just
wouldn't open up because it wouldn't
recognize
the cpus so it did seem like this
release is a little bit different to
previous releases
where amd did have a much tighter
control of the people who are able to
test these cpus
and the biases they were given but in
direct regards to latency
zen 2 was already really good in terms
of general usage i noticed the
difference between
zen plus and especially zen plus over
the original zen that was released
and from the general usage i'm seeing
here from the studio taking through a
test drive in adobe premiere pro
xen3 is the best that amd has produced
to date so i feel like they've
definitely improved the latency though i
don't have any objective tests
to test that just yet and in relation to
the imc amd has
said that it has improved this time
around with zen 3 versus zen 2
the only test i can tell you that i have
done here to
validate that claim is put in four eight
gigabyte sticks of four thousand
megahertz
uh g-skill cl18 memory where it did
boot but it didn't make it to windows on
the new zen three processors both the
5900x and the 5950x
however on the 3950x i had here
it did pretty much just crash straight
away it wouldn't even boot
so it does look like there's an
improvement and this same
thing happened on the 10900k where that
managed to just make it to windows
before it crashed
now i know these memory sticks do work
properly i have tested them on the
10980xe i have here in quad channel
and the 4000 megahertz xmp profile does
indeed work
fine so that being said it feels like
the imc on zen 3 hasn't been
majorly improved versus zen 2 where i
did have 3 600 megahertz
cl 16 corsair dominator sticks working
on all the cpus
tested in today's review anyways you're
probably wondering now
should i think about buying a 5900x
or a 5950x and we'll talk about the
5950x in a dedicated video on its own
the 5900x at 549 dollars
it's a really good choice if you want to
get the latest
and greatest you want that single core
performance
you want something that's going to be a
gaming champion but you also want
something that's going to do a lot of
productivity
as well whether it be video editing or
whether it be rendering an animation or
just sitting back in your chair
and constantly looping cinebench r20
just to say hey
i've got an amazing cpu if the answer is
yes to any of these three questions
then the 5900x is going to serve you
very well
and the overclocking headroom as we saw
here today is
absolutely phenomenal though do keep in
mind you do not get a raised prism
cooler included this time
as opposed to the 3900x which originally
did have
a raised prism cooler included so you do
lose that little bit of value as well on
top of the 50
price increase versus the 499 versus the
549 but you are getting the really
amazing ipc gains
as well as that extra overclocking
headroom
which does look very healthy at least
from what i can see here at the studio
anyhow if you enjoyed today's review
then be sure to hit that like button
for us and also let us know in the
comment section below what you think of
the new
zen 3 processors are you digging them is
it your kettle of fish
love reading your thoughts and opinions
there's always just like this question
of the day here which comes from
elfaran ellisol and they ask how about
the 3300x
wonder if my current a320m can handle it
and they're referring to our a320 video
i'll put the link up here
where we do run a variety of different
cpus on these motherboards
and yes the 3300x will work perfectly
fine on an a320 motherboard however you
will pretty much not get overclocking
on a lot of a320s out there do keep that
in mind
though the performance out of the box
for the 3300x is
really good on its own and you can
overclock memory
on a lot of a320s so if you get some
good memory the 3300x and a decent gpu
you'd be having a great value for money
combo
to play video games on anyway guys
that's a wrap from me i hope you enjoyed
this review the testing here
does take a lot of time to conduct and
present the results
and there's a lot of products coming out
this month i will say that
and actually the last few months in 2020
just seems like there's
a never-ending amount of products that
just keep coming and keep coming so
hopefully you guys appreciate the work
that we do here around tech your city or
if you want to purchase something and
support the channel then those links are
down there below
and i'll catch you in another tech video
very soon
peace out for now bye
