Official AMD Ryzen 5000 Series & 7000 Series Thread

I just started thinking about this....I can put a 5000 series chip in my PC as the final upgrade before having to get a new mobo. Anyone knows when these are gonna get phased out? I'd probably pick one up once its near its end of life. Yes im still plugging away with a Ryzen 5 2600X

NIce! I'm consider that cooler with the LCD for a 7950x3d build. I was wondering if there's any benefits getting an AIO that large. The chip runs 140~160watts max. I'm thinking it might be overkill. What fan speed does it run at when you game?

Get a 5800X3D and let your panties fly...

This website doesn't get enough credit. Every ****ing number they post matches my system's performance. Whereas, I am always confused af with testing done by Tech Jesus, HWU, or plethora of other websites.

Look for yourself and if you are pumping a 5800X3D, just forget both Intel and AMD for now FOR GAMING!

For 4k gaming to be specific sure. And also the ryzen 8000's early info is that it'll be a bigger jump in perf over the 7000's than the 7000's were over the 5000's.
 
Yes, I either play 4K or 1440P and thefpsreview 7800X3D review is not convincing enough. I used to like TPU but I am unable to match his numbers on my system. He turns down some settings and I am like wtf why is your FPS higher than mine.

thefpsreview is the only website where I can compare my numbers and they are spot on!
 
Yea its now between fast and timeouts... fluctuates like mad. Reddit is so much more stable. Even Twitter under Musk after firing of 90% of his staff runs ok. Too bad... before its too late they should sell to someone who can fix it.

Speaking of which!

Jim Keller predicts Zen5's perf:

The predictions put Tenstorrent's upcoming CPU core comfortably ahead of Intel's Sapphire Rapids (7.45 points), Nvidia's Grace (7.44 points), and AMD's Zen 4 (6.80 points). Yet, AMD's Zen 5 is projected to hit 8.84 points, making it the absolute integer performance champion in 2024 – 2025.

I would say just wait. Going up to anything requires a platform change and memory change. With 5800X3D still competitive you may as well push that further into the future.

I did hand my 5800X3D system down to a family member and went up to 7800X3D but I half regret it just based on the overall hassle.

So decision time…

13900K
7800X3D
Wait for next gen

Tell me how it is…

If I were in your shoes I'd wait for next gen. The 7950X3D, 13900K, and 7800X3D all play games at similar performance levels which amounts to about a 10% performance advantage over the 5800X3D at 1080P and less than 5% more performance at 4K. Most likely you wouldn't notice any difference at all without an FPS counter.

If I had to buy one now, I would buy the 7950X3D since it has similar gaming performance and multi tasking performance to the 13900K while using half the power and on a platform that has a future. Upgrading to a 13900K would mean buying a new platform and then being forced to replace it again when the next big thing comes along plus it consumes 300 Watts of power and runs over 100C. The 7800X3D is pretty much just a 7950X3D without the extra cores for multi tasking which keeps it from being direct competition with the 13900K and since games are not all that power hungry, I wouldn't consider it's power efficiency all that important though it is impressive. Power efficiency matters for productive workloads that use 16 cores or more but otherwise I wouldn't consider it all that important.

You could save some money going with the 7800X3D if gaming is all you do but I doubt money is really a concern for someone who upgrades as often as you do. Personally, I bought a 7950X and I figure I will remain GPU bound until 2025. At that point, I will probably buy the last supported and most powerful X3D chip I can get and then use that for another 4 years. I might abandon that idea if my system RAM starts to become a bottleneck but with 3D Vcache it doesn't seem to be all that important anymore so I'm hoping I will be able to get by. The difference between DDR 6000Mhz and DDR5 8000Mhz is only a couple percent and not worth worrying about in my opinion. Don't know if Bios updates for my board might allow it to run faster RAM in the future but I plan to buy one motherboard and 2 CPU's over the course of 7 years. I figure I will be GPU bound the entire time. Probably buy 3 or 4 GPU's during that time. Your 5800X3D is about as fast as my 7950X when it comes to gaming, you are not going to gain much of anything in real world for performance from any CPU for a few years. Most of my games are limited by my refresh rate or GPU.​:)

Thanks man. That makes a ton of sense. Also I am not getting a good price for my setup. Will probably get 450 for it and end up spending 1 G for a 7800X3D to get that 5%. Which I can achieve by just clocking my 4090. Since I started playing 4K things do get a bit hairy when you crank everything to 11 but doesn’t seem CPU does much at that point. Some peeps are talking about better minimums with a 7800X3D but not sure I have games that will benefit from those. Plus when you have frame gen on, things just work fine for the most part.

X3D chips dying due to over voltage. Upgrade your mobo bioses.

Did they have BIOSes that fixes it? I heard the work around is manually set the timing instead of using EXPO. Is this affecting MOBOs other than ASUS and Gigabyte?
