Agree with Lily on the best choices are the 5600X and 5900X based on the current pricing scheme. The 5600X is going to be the new King of budget gaming CPU. It has so much headroom still left with the right GPU.

Anyone got some 3090 SLI test ? 😀 Want to seee if 5600X can bottleneck that .

If you get time is it possible you could fire up flight simulator on this chip or any of the future Zen 3 ones you do? Your earlier benchmark of that title (with the 9900K) indicated it's CPU bottlenecked.. with the 2080Ti/3080 tying each other - another game I play is Starcitizen - which also is typically heavily CPU bottlenecked in a similar regard. Kind of curious if swapping to a Zen 3 would help alleviate this in these titles. I think FS2020 would demonstrate that.

I guess I'm gonna wait until the price for this drops and get it then. My 3600X (yeah I'm one of the 10 people who bought it 😀) still does everything I need it to do, but since I'm staying on x570 for the foreseeable future, might as well stick in something more future proof down the line. Not at this price though.
My main concern right now is upgrading my GPU. Hope the 6800XT lives up to at least 75% of the hype 🙂.
BLEH!
Is it just me or is the idle power on these high? Or is that down to the mobo?

AMD should have named this 8 core part the 5700X and then had a 5800X as 10 core 2 CCX. With only 5/8 cores active they might have been able to hit some really good clock speeds and use up some chips where more cores which failed validation.
I guess the issue would have been people comparing the price for a 5700X against the 3700X.

@Hilbert Hagedoorn what CPU cooler did you use for all of these tests?
