It would be interesting to see how the Ryzen 6000 improves on the Ryzen 5000 series. I think the focus is on efficiency. As such, laptop battery life will be interesting. I believe that any performance gains will be gotten from a clock speed bump, or if the application leverages on the RDNA2 cores' improved performance.
AMD at CES 2022: Roadmap to Zen 4 and AM5, Ryzen gets V-Cache, Ryzen 6000 mobile, more
- Thread starter Scorpus
- Start date
IMHO the 5800X3D could be a major game changer, or a "meh" of a flop. The big question for me is how much of a trade off is the drop in clock speed compared to the extra cache'? I'm going to reserve judgement until I can see 3rd party tests with games that weren't possibly cherry picked to support AMD's narrative. I wouldn't be all that surprised if there are some clock speed sensitive games that will actually lose some performance as well.

And not one word on TRX40, or Zen 3 Threadripper... AMD has apparently lied to its HEDT consumers.
Or you know... they weren't ready to announce it here at CES.

I was looking into Fuma 2 to cool my 5800X but a lot of owners are saying it’s thermal throttling and/or hitting 90C. Granted, the 5800X is the hottest CPU of Zen 3, but thermal throttling is a hard pass.
I keep wanting to build a new PC but without paying stupid money for a new GPU there's just no point. I'm not even sure why I read these articles any more.
It depends on a few things like:
- how good the airflow in the case is?
- if it's stock or with PBO, and if with PBO is it auto or manual tuned PBO?
- room temp
I'm using my Fuma 2 with the 5600X stock and without the extra fan installed and without the front case fans ON and with the Fuma2 set at max 90% speed, I get to 67 degrees in CB 20 MT (at that temp is at about 85% speed). It's also very quiet.
Even with 5800X (which means also 5800X3D) being the hottest, if I turn ON the case fans and crank everything at 100% and use the 3rd CPU fan, there is no way it will get to 90 degrees in my case.
It also depends on the silicon of the chip, my 5600X is a silver sample, so it's almost useless to use PBO, but with a golden sample it's a complete different story.
The TLDR version is: depending on what the reviews show, if a Noctua NH-D15 can cool the 5800X3D well, then so will the Scythe Fuma2, with maybe 2-3 degrees hotter, at worst.
There is a reason why GN gave the Scythe Fuma 2 "best overall cooler" in 2021 award, it does the job of $100+ coolers, at just $60:

Run Ryzen CTR 2.0, tune your CPU to use less volts. My 3600 only uses a maximum of 1.25v for it's full 4.2Ghz boost, while at stock the default settings use nearly 1.4v and add 20c at full load. I assume the reason AMD did this was for stability for lower quality bins.

Kinda like last year... Funny, but when AMD launched a new socket (TRX40) I am sure that they said it would not be a one generation socket. At this point, I am going to give AMD a bit of leeway, and suggest that the blame lies with them not being able to get the 7NM node to perform for multi-cores like Threadripper. Note that the sWRX80 (pro) CPUs do not have near the frequency of a TRX40 T hreadripper, past OR present. Look at the burst freq of an EPYC...
Not owning a foundry to 'play with' has AMD lagging a bit in the engineering dept., methinks. Oh well, my rusty old 3960x will just have to do until Gelsinger can get me a proper CPU, with enough PCIe lanes to satisfy my needs (32 min, pref 48 ...)at a reasonable price point. Why all those lanes? Glad you asked. PCIe RAID, possibly two quaddros, or possibly two RAID cards. 64 lanes would cover all the bases, short of building a (100k+) render farm.

They're just stamped metal. Looking at a 2008 model, I-7 950's IHS. The IHS lid is arched, and the edges at the upper sides are sharp all the way around from being mashed by a machine. The edge is very square and it's sharper than you'd think, the dome's curvature is very precise. When it's mounted to a motherboard the heatsink will put tension on it, enough, that when it's tight it will flatten. I don't think designing this IHS was a single person's effort, there are too many things going on, in a piece of cut and pressed metal.

Its simply a engineering project really. It's already applied in the EPYC line and considering a Ryzen is just as a Epyc it's no secret.
The 3D cache is however a very clever thing; it adds higher performance in apps or games that are relient of more cache. Clocks can go lower while staying in the same TDP enveloppe and offering 10% to 40% more performance depending on workload.
I'd take it. Proberly overclocks as well as the 5800X too.

5800U was not on 28w. Please correct the article
AMD was comparing 6800U at 28w to 5800U at 15w
Even anandtech mentioned that 6800U was running at 28w while 5800U is at 15w

5800X3D...
-Reduced core clock
-Expensive according to Frank Azor in interview
-AMD will add more Zen 3 3D chips if requested by customers after saying games use 4-8 cores. What happened to the 15% perf gains claimed by AMD? Now they need to wait for feedback? I knew this 3D cache on Zen 3 was a joke. I highly doubt we'll see a 5600X 3D. Sounds a lot like RIS where AMD said they would add DX11 support if - requested by customers.
What?!
This is why I bag on AMD. They are all over the place and you can tell they are just throwing spaghetti at walls far too often. If they want the number one spot (they do), they need to do a LOT better.

Really? Why would you find that funny?Also if 5800X3D proves in reviews that it indeed beats the 12900k in gaming it will be so funny
Really now? Last time I checked AMD is including the price of a motherboard into their CPU's. 300€ for 5600x and 450€ for a 5800x, lmao. With that money you could buy a 10700k + a z490, so yeah, just because you don't have to buy a motherboard doesn't mean you won't pay for one
My previous post was deleted, so I'll Re:
That means I ended up paying $75 for the 5600X upgrade. That = cheap. Get it?
It will be the same (a cheap upgrade) when/if I decide to upgrade 5800X3D, much cheaper than buying a whole new intel system.
Also you're flawed reasoning is based on a comparison of Zen3 prices with the 10th gen intel platform which is 2 years old now, I'm pretty sure you can also buy a 2 year old Zen2 platform cheaper than the Zen3 one.... imagine that discovery. 😏
If you need explanation for that, you are slow.
I bought the 5600X at a BF deal for $240 (not $300) and sold my 3600 for $175. I don't need a new motherboard, I have a great B450 which has seen me thru Ryzen 2600 to 3600 to 5600X and I'll have the option to upgrade to Zen3D too, something intel users will never have.

So there is no explanation. Thought so.
What you paid and how much you sold something is completely irrelevant. I sold my 10900k for 600 euros cause it was a golden sample. Does it matter? Does that make intels upgrades cheaper? No, it's completely irrelevant.
The 5600x has an msrp of 300. With that money you can buy a 10400f + mobo + ram. Nough said I think.
The zen 2 3600 or 3600x isnt cheap either it regularly is above 200 euro all around europe, so... Wtf are you talking about? I mean you said it yourself, you sold it USED for 175....thats more expensive than a brand new 10400 or 11400, f or non f variant. Lol

10400f compared to 5600X? Really? Are you that desperate for an intel win to make a comparison that has no logic? Intel is cheaper, but Zen3 mops the floor with it so it's more expensive... pathetic comparison, as the other ones above.
For the fact that you still push for an explanation (just to trigger me) why a 5800X3D while being cheaper and coming just a few months after AL (not one year later as AL did vs Zen3), will beat it and you can't see that or the irony, then you now get a very earned IGNORE from me. I don't have time to waste with the your kind. Bye.
It beats it by 15% in 1080p with a 3090, and costs more than the CPU the mobo and the ram combined. Good freaking deal man
You find it funny that a new CPU that was made specifically to be good at games is better in games than a CPU that was made to be good all around? Ohkay. Obviously even if it beats the 12900k, we don't know the price, and it loses across the board on anything else. A better comparison would be the 12700k which will be probably cheaper than the 5800x3d and deliver almost the same gaming performance.
So yeah, a new and expensive zen 3 CPU will barely beat a cheaper 12700k in games and get destroyed in productivity. Funny indeed
