The competition for the Ryzen 5 5600X is likely to be Intel's Core i5-10600K, which has the same MSRP of $299. With a $299 MSRP, it comes in again a little pricier than the parts it replaces however AMD is promoting that in terms of performance per dollar, this mainstream component gives a lot more than its competition. It takes over from the Ryfamily, which sits as #1, #3, and #7 in Amazon’s best seller list. This will be the only processor (at launch) with a 65 W TDP, and as such this is the one that AMD will ship with a bundled cooler. The base model at launch this time around is the Ryzen 5 5600X, with a single chiplet of six cores and twelve threads, running a base frequency of 3.7 GHz and turbo frequency of 4.6 GHz.

In our recent guide, we've seen the i7-10700K retail at $380. AMD believes that the increased raw performance of its product demands pricing more consummate with its position in the market, and so we see a slight MSRP increase from $399 to $449.ĪMD expects that the Ryzen 7 5800X, at $449, is likely to be competing against Intel's Core i7-10700K, which has an MSRP of $409. With it only being a single chiplet, it has 32 MB of 元 cache, but it has the 105 W TDP allowing for higher sustained frequencies. This is a single chiplet processor with eight cores and sixteen threads, running at 3.8 GHz base and 4.7 GHz boost. The Ryzen 7 5800X is expected to follow in the footsteps of the popular Ryzen 7 3700X, which currently sits as #2 on Amazon’s best seller list. The Core i9-10900K is currently overpriced at retail, due to limited stock - the Core i9-10850K, which is around the $499 mark and available at retail, might be the more 'real world' competition. This Ryzen 9 5900X also has a 105 W TDP, and the price of this 12-core is also slightly higher, moving from $499 MSRP to $549 MSRP.ĪMD says that the Ryzen 9 5900X, at $549, is expected to compete directly against Intel's Core i9-10900K, which has an MSRP of $529. The extended 元 cache per chiplet (explained later) reduces the effective latency by allowing more data to be stored before main memory access is required.

This is likely because of the lower core count than the other Ryzen 9 allowing slightly higher frequencies when a game loads up several of the cores – the six cores per chiplet lowers the thermal density when running, enabling higher frequencies. With a base frequency of 3.7 GHz and a turbo frequency of 4.8 GHz, AMD is calling this processor the ‘World’s Best Gaming CPU’.

The second processor is the Ryzen 9 5900X, which offers 12 cores and 24 threads, using two six-core chiplets and having a full 64 MB of 元 cache. The Ryzen 9 5950X's main competition is either a AMD chip in the Ryzen 9 3950X, which currently retails for $710, or Intel's 18-core high-end desktop processor, the Core i9-10980XE, seen as low as $803. This processor will retail slightly higher than the previous generation, with AMD making the move from $749 MSRP to $799 MSRP. With two chiplets it has the full 64 MB of 元 cache, and the 105 W rated TDP is equal to the 16-core equivalent of the previous generation. With 16 cores and 32 threads, it has a listed base frequency of 3.4 GHz and a boost frequency of 4.9 GHz. Sitting on the top of the processor line is the new halo Ryzen 9 5950X. *comes with bundled CPU cooler Ryzen 9 5950X Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 will have one chiplet, while Ryzen 9 will have two chiplets – the easy way to identify this is through the amount of 元 cache each processor has. The processors are still chiplet-based, with one chiplet having either six or eight cores. These will stretch from six cores to sixteen cores, with increased frequencies and increased performance-per-clock, but with no additional increase in power. The first four processors to market will include products in the key Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 segments, as well as a pair of high-performance parts with Ryzen 9. With the new Ryzen 5000 series, AMD is keeping a similar structure to the previous generation. Four Processors, All Coming November 5 th AMD is putting a clear marker in the sand, calling one of its halo products as ‘The World’s Best Gaming CPU’. The new processors are socket-compatible with existing 500-series motherboards, and will be available at retail from November 5 th. The key element of the new product is the core design, with AMD’s latest Zen 3 microarchitecture, promising a 19% raw increase in performance-per-clock, well above recent generational improvements. The new family, known as the Ryzen 5000 series, includes four parts and supports up to sixteen cores.

Lisa Su, the CEO of AMD, has today announced the company’s next generation mainstream Ryzen processor.
