Today was the launch of the new Ryzen 3 generation CPUs (named 5000 series):
- Ryzen 5 5600X 6c/12t 3.7Ghz (4.6Ghz boost) 65W - 299$
- Ryzen 5 5800X 8c/16t 3.8Ghz (4.7Ghz boost) 105W - 449$
- Ryzen 5 5900X 12c/24t 3.7Ghz (4.8Ghz boost) 105W - 549$
- Ryzen 5 5950X 16c/32t 3.4Ghz (4.9Ghzboost) 105W - 799$
Based on the reviews all over the web it seems that Intel lost its title as the fastest gaming CPU (it was the I9-10900K), Intel CPUs were outperformed by AMD new CPUs, before this launch AMD was the best option for productivity and gaming for a reasonable price, the budget options from AMD outperforming expensive CPUs from Intel, and for enthusiasts Intel i9s were the way to go, now AMD is holding this title.
It is funny to think that 4 years ago 6 cores CPU were considered workstation grade, but with Ryzen the 6 cores is now the budget option which forced Intel to upgrade where what is currently an i3 was an i7 couple of years ago.
