Just wanted to add that it's up to 20 percent for 1080p. The difference would be around 5 percent or lower for 1440p and higher. The 5950x is going to allow you have more windows open, streaming , etc without affecting your gameplay. Both cpu are awesome but I highly recommend this cpu over the 5800x3d if you are gaming above 1080p.

Only for non-gaming. One thing I noticed amongst every Zen generation, the R7 and R9 parts never outshined the R5 until multi threading became a factor. Only the x3d parts made a difference.

For gaming, grab a x3d model.

So… strictly gaming, get X3D line. Multithread heavy applications the 5950x ftw?

I mostly game and currently have a 3900X. I was hoping to find a deal on a 5800X3D, but maybe go for 5950X instead?
If you mostly game with your computer, they have the 5700x3D, which would be faster for gaming. If you have a lot of productivity apps like video editing, photo editing, etc. the 5950X would be best for you. Both the 5700x3D and 5800x3D are faster in gaming than a 5950X. Also, the 5700x3D is on sale at Amazon and nearly half the cost.

I wonder how those will stack up against the x3D skus in gaming. The 5800x3D is still priced higher than I would like.
Seems like they're holding out since they know many people want that as their last chip for AM4.

5700X3D is $183 [amazon.com]

Bro I game at 4k with 4090 and soon 5090... 3D is a gimmick that only makes a difference at 1080p

I have an x370 gaming k5 with Ryzen 1700. Not sure but I think I built it in 2017.

If I put this in there I expect to instantly be amazed.

God damnit. I can return the $240 5900X I just got to newegg and there's a free prime trial on my account.
So I did cave in and order the 5950X through newegg, will return the 5900X. Also got a 4TB WD ssd.

is this that much better than the 5900x tho? I'm still trying to decide between the 2 and now its $69 difference. I don't really game much(1080p sometimes random games) and mostly for work and photoshop. I'm on 3700x now.

Eh, the 5950X has the 16-cores and maxes out the platform, but real world its only about 0-20% more powerful/fast than the 12-core 5900X, imho due to multicore clocks, bandwidth limits and the last 4 cores not scaling well in most applications. In your case the 3700X is a still pretty decent cpu, but both will be about twice as powerful. If you're on a tight budget the 5900X is the way to go.

I've got the 5900X in a pretty nice spare machine that I just did a rebuild of. Plus I always wanted a 5950X. It's an air cooled tower with a 3090 that I'll mainly use as a HTPC, so I could get intermittent use out of it for 5-10 years. Kind of pointless for me.

For everyone else, I'd only get this if you already had the AM4 motherboard in a system that you were looking to upgrade. Otherwise get a newer platform.

I have this CPU in one of my PCs. If you prioritise gaming way over anything else, then for AM4 get 5800x3d as it smokes 5950x.
But if you also do a lot of other stuff and do multiple things at once (like gaming while doing video conversion) then this smokes x3d.
But if you have a high end card and play in lower than 4k resolution then this will become a bottleneck in CPU intensive games.
It also runs very hot.So a good cooler will help with maintaining high clocks.

The 5700X3D with 32 GB Corsair ram for $183 at Newegg was the deal to jump at.
16 cores wont even be noticed just gaming.
I'm not going 7000 series yet.
Like 1st gern Ryzen (remember all the "Samsung B-die" stuff?) the first 7000 chips/mobos/ram had issues.
DD4 got better in steps so no way I want early DDR5.
AM 4 got better with each issue and I remember mystery crashes with Ryzen 2700.
The 5000 series is very polished platform

DDR 4 ram steps.

DDR4-1600 (PC4-12800)
DDR4-1866 (PC4-14900)
DDR4-2133 (PC4-17000)
DDR4-2400 (PC4-19200)
DDR4-2666 (PC4-21333)
DDR4-2933 (PC4-23466)
DDR4-3200 (PC4-25600)
