PC CPU New Era - AMD dethroned Intel

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.

Re: PC CPU New Era - AMD dethroned Intel

Intel was made irrelevant.

AMD Zen 3 CPUs are competing with Zen 2 CPUs more than they are competing with Intel CPUs.

AMD is killing it!

Can't wait for the new RX 6000 series benchmarks to launch, if they played their cards right, they're gonna make a ton of money in the holiday season.

Competition is a very very good thing in the tech market, my only problem now is being jittery to go for a new CPU or not, due to AMD making big leaps each year!

Re: PC CPU New Era - AMD dethroned Intel

They will stop the big leap at a certain point, personally what I did that I waited before 3000 series to launch and grabbed a 2600x for 160$ new from Amazon, paired it with X370 board and 32GB 3000Mhz RAM with custom timings and a GTX1060, I use the PC for work and gaming, I kept the CPU without modification but I just reduced it's voltage when it auto boosts by adding a negative delta to vcore

Re: PC CPU New Era - AMD dethroned Intel

I9 10900k ~ 540 USD
R9 5950x ~ 800 USD

I9 10900k ~  14nm refined based on aging 2015 Skylake Architecture
R9 5950x ~ Refined 2nd Gen 7nm

I9 10900K  ~ Headroom to OC
R9 5950X ~ Limited Headroom to OC

Yet AMD "fanboys"  want to foam very hard as if intel is gone with the wind.

Apple to Apple (Without OC)

Techpowerup

On Par , faster  or got beaten doesnot mean dethroned Intel .. Intel is dethroned when their is a wide disparity. 7nm + vs 14nm++++ with a "similar performnace"  is a pure shame for AMD.

Here is a real review that includes charts for all the newly released AMD processors compared to Intel CPUs, with and without OC.

To be clear, when all the reviewers in the world are saying similar opinions about the new AMD CPUs and you have a different opinion, this make you the only "fanboy" here.

Yes Intel has been dethroned and gone with the wind, it is not a matter of your or my opinion, it is the sales that speak the truth
https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Com … /pc/229189

And funnily enough the real shame are those pluses after the 14nm, and the next Intel CPU is going to increase the pluses again, Intel can't even innovate anymore, they are failing to deliver 10nm since years, they fail to support a motherboard chipset/socket for more than 1 generation and they keep increasing the power limits to be able to compete.

Yea that is true, I was waiting for this day to come it has been years and they haven't provided anything but cashing in money since the first generation core CPU its only because of AMD the i3 we have now is the I7 of the past and we must be grateful and support them to compete its only gunna benefit the consumers even with their radeon cards, AMD has come a log way and it is really pleasing to see this huge leap  in both CPUs and GPUs

Re: PC CPU New Era - AMD dethroned Intel

The i9 exists to compete with the Ryzen 7 since the Ryzen 5 was competing with the i7.

The Ryzen 9 exists just to be a league of its own, a budget Threadripper if you will.

No one here is being a fanboy the numbers are posted on all reputable websites who do non-bias reviews and all of them conclude and agree to the dominance of AMD CPUs.

Intel is known to be struggling with their Instructions Per Clock. (How many instructions per GHz)

They perform better in games due to faster clock speeds and the way they boost.

The benchmarks you posted are all gaming benchmarks that show the i5 and i9 performance difference is minuscule (Especially when you go even higher resolution where the CPU will matter less.) You did not even mention where you got these numbers for. Please post your references.


Thanks to the way Zen3 works, they obliterated Intel. 

14nm vs 7nm simply means the die is smaller, it doesn't necessarily make it faster. (Even though in the case of AMD it is faster. The IPC of AMD is much higher, you can look up benchmarks on things other than gaming.


Also, your post does not show any 5600X benchmarks in the charts, the 5600X in some cases is performing much better.

The 5600X, a 6 core processor is beating the 10 Core i9 in gaming at almost all games.

The i9 is beating Ryzen 5 in only 1 or 2 games by 2 or 3 FPS, which you can spend the hundreds of dollars you saved buying the 5600X to get a better GPU and get higher FPS regardless, so the i9, in this case, is made irrelevant. Also again, pay attention to clock speeds.

I'm gonna post some credible websites below for people to check the numbers in gaming, rendering, compression, and whatever they like:

- AnandTech
- Guru3D
- TechJesus himself on Youtube at GamersNexus:
  - Ryzen 5 5600X
   -Ryzen 7 5800X
   -Ryzen 9 5900X
   -Ryzen 9 5950X

Some reviewers are claiming that the only reason they're even putting Intel in their benchmarks is so that people don't forget that Intel exists in the market because AMD is mostly competing with its own older-gen CPUs at this point.

Re: PC CPU New Era - AMD dethroned Intel

Shame on you AMD. You increased your prices thinking your 7nm+ will beat hard the aging 14nm Skylake based architecture. Only AMD blind fanboys proclaimed massive vactory and Intel being doomed.?

Re: PC CPU New Era - AMD dethroned Intel

in the video you provided the 5800X has better FPS in 9 games, i7 10700K in 1 game, that's in gaming, while in everything else Intel CPU was already back in the dust.
Speaking about the Shaming because of price increase, we did not hear you complain and shaming Intel when the i9 was 1000$ when it was launched with Skylake CPUs.

Anyway, I understand your pain and disappointment, 5600X for 300$ (65w with a cooler) just made the whole Intel i5-i7-i9 (K top of the line CPUs) obsolete

Re: PC CPU New Era - AMD dethroned Intel

AMD increased its prices because of market demand and dominance.

The die size (being 7nm or 14nm) has NOTHING to do with performance, it is simply the size of the transistors used.

If I have a 1nm transistor in the quantity of 5 and I put it against another processor that has a 90nm transistor size in a quantity of 3 billion, the 90nm is gonna be faster.

What you're saying is absolute nonsense.

If you watched Intel's latest events on laptop processors, they were embarrassed to even do the event, all they did was talk nonsense using 2 different units to compare performance between Intel and AMD processors just to show bigger numbers. Everyone even talked about it on the news.

Furthermore, sharing a video from a channel called "testing games" and using that as your reference does not represent any credible information.

.

Totally agree, if AMD made their current 5000 CPUs with 5nm transistors, it only might reduce the power consumption a little bit, they managed to gain 19% of IPC in their Zen 3 by changing the CCX design to allow all the CPUs in 1 CCX to use the whole cache memory which is the main change that gave them much better performance, they added other changes also but these are more refinements than an architectural changes.

It was a funny presentation where they named AMD processor (i believe 4800HS) more than they talked about their funky CPU product name, and at the end it was a lot battle for them

No one talking about mobile? A sub 400-500 USD Ryzen laptop is multitudes faster than any mobile/15W current Intel based laptop 900+, let alone the great onboard APU.

I was watching a video on a laptop review on Youtube the other day, the AMD equivalent was cheaper, faster, produced less heat, and used less power, which resulted in better battery life, as well as it provided better gaming performance.

They are killing it!

The new mobile CPU from Intel is out (Tiger Lake) and so far, reviews are pretty positive.  Small victories I guess.

And Intel is coming out with its Rocket Lake processor first quarter of next year--supposed to be a 10% to 20% rise in clock speed (so they will regain that edge), but are limited to only 8 cores.  Still puts them at a disadvantage to many multithreaded applications that are still dominated by AMD.

There is also supposed to be a synergy between the 5xxxx chips and their new Radeon cards (shared access memory).  It is supposed to give 8 to 10% improvement.

Looks like Intel next CPU will draw a lot of power more for them to invest in such cooling technology
