5 Ghz π± (almost, but most likely attainable -this time- with PBO+Auto OC)
What could I possibly do with so much power, SO MUCH POWAAAAR!!!111

When is the official release? Thought it was the 20th, today? Can we expect reviews soon? π

8 more days yes ?

That's insane. AMD's 12 core is beating there 16 core from prior generations. AMD is beating Intel in singe threaded performance across the board. Whoa. This is going to be a huge win for AMD!

My Intel 2600k , just pulled the first one at the top on geekbench.

It's nice that we have these rather cheap monster CPUs with 12-16 cores + SMT, but the reality is that the types of software that can take advantage of them in a home/office environment is very, very limited.
I actually meant this literally.
I have no idea what kind of work I could give to a 5900X to actually benefit from the 12 cores π
I wish AMD would offer an option for a single-die 6-8 core CPU that boosts to the max clocks technologically possible, without reserving the max boosts and best dies only to the expensive 12-16 cores.
(Something like 3300X that is not vaporware...)
---
Going back to the many core CPUs, in my own workflow or entertainment, I think in total I use stuff that uses all 8 cores of my 3700X for 2-3 hours per month max.
The games I play are older and indie titles, which are lightly threaded, barely using 2, maybe 4 threads.
I work with Photoshop, which is known to use very few threads (it's basically a single-threaded software)
Those 2-3 hours in which I put all 8 cores to work are two things - Archival of my stuff using 7-zip, and encoding of a short video report of what I did.
Basically, I could do just fine with just a 3300X ... but that CPU didn't exist when I switched to AM4, and neither when I bought the 3700X...

Not sure why multi- core performance is pretty weak, maybe because of low RAM (16GB)?
My system: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/4275707
edit: with a bit of RAM tweaking https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/4289176
So not sure if these AMD multi-core scores are meaningful....

Big jump in single core performance, which is what would be most noticeable for most software. My 3900X scored 1233 (now 1305). Big jump to 1605 o_O
Look at the current top CPU charts,... Intel is on top with only 1495 single core... https://browser.geekbench.com/processor-benchmarks
It is going to get de-throned...
Unless Intel now bribes them again to re-jig the benchmark software to put them on top again...

https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/compare/4275707?baseline=4282060 the new comparison is slightly better.
My new single core score is 1305
Still only using stock single fan AMD wraith cooler there though, but didn't see temps rise even over 75C during run.

I think you were actually comparing to my old benchmark there... I have done another today with proper settings.... the previous single benchmark I had done was wrong... it only had the RAM at 2400MHz (reset to that after boot failure during tuning). Should have been at normal running speed of 3400CL14, and I turned on the AutoOC mode of Ryzen.
As you can see geogan
Found this 5950X score which appears to be way higher than article
