AMD Ryzen 5000 series CPUs get reviewed
 

Review roundup: Plenty of performance but a higher price tag

The embargo on reviews for AMD's first Ryzen 5000 series desktop CPU SKUs have been lifted and we now have a chance to see how well these four SKUs, the Ryzen 9 5950X, Ryzen 9 5900X, Ryzen 7 5800X, and the Ryzen 5 5600X, perform in benchmarks, games, and applications.

In case you missed it earlier last month, AMD has announced its new Ryzen 5000 series desktop CPUs based on Zen 3 CPU architecture. With four SKUs in the new Ryzen 5000 series lineup, all available on November 5th, AMD is claiming the best gaming CPU title, bringing new architecture improvements, features, and a 19 percent increase in performance-per-clock.

According to Mark Papermaster, AMD's Chief Technology Officer and Executive Vice President of Technology and Engineering, in addition to a 19 percent IPC uplift compared to the previous generation, Zen 3 has a slightly different layout, and while it still comes with an 8-core structure, each of these eight cores shares 32MB of L3 cache, rather the four cores per 16MB of L3 cache on the Zen 2 architecture. This also means accelerated core and cache communication for gaming, reduction in effective memory latency, and more.
