Longtime owner here so I guess Ill give my two cents on this CPU. If you have an AM4 platform PC and you're looking to video render for cheap this is the one to get. 5900XT is technically better but stock seems to be very limited. I can't speak for the 5900XT power performance, but the 5950x is about 120W maximum. This thing sips power since these are binned so well. I'm on AM5 at this point but I can't get rid of my 5950x build just because it's a workhorse. It chews through 4k iPhone video exports in only a few minutes.

Actually this one is technically better than the 5900XT. The 5950x has 100mhz more clock speed and its chiplets are better binned (runs at lower voltage for same clock speed). Real world difference is very minimal though.
I have this, what a beast. But my question is, are the average desktop PC users going to benefit vs buying the lower tier cpu like ryzen 5 or even the ryzen 7 series for their use?
I just retired this cpu after building my new PC. I switched over to AMD because it could process shaders so much faster for game development. I was not disappointed. I have a 9950x now and I can barely tell a difference with my work honestly.

Depends on what you are using it for. Gaming then no not worth it, for heavy compute workloads then yes. The 5900XT (pretty much same cpu as 5950x, slightly lower clock). Was a much better deal during prime days at $220.
I must've clicked that button at least ten times, digging deep into those one-star, 1% negative reviews for the *AMD 5950X CPU.* Amazon claims it's only 4% negative, but after scrolling through ten pages of bad reviews, it feels more like 20%, not 4%.
What's going on with *AMD's quality control,* selling people bad, lower-tier binned chips?*

What sw do you use for rendering?
Stopped paying for Adobe suite and got Davinci resolve. Free and powerful.
