AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, 5950X Also Benchmarked in Geekbench 5
It would seem that a number of players have received their Zen 3 samples, considering the amount of performance leaks that have surfaced just in the past two days. The new AMD Zen 3 processors carry a huge weight on their shoulders - demonstrating AMD's touted leadership in CPU performance in all metrics, whilst justifying their increased pricing against Zen 2 offerings. Many rivers of ink (and some tears) have flown in regards to pricing of the new AMD processors, so it all pertains to performance considerations on whether that pricing is justified or not.
Leaker extraordinaire TUM_APISAK has leaked some benchmarks on AMD's upcoming Ryzen 9 5900X and 5950X CPUs - namely, in Geekbench 5. In this round of leaks - which are, admittedly, originating from two different systems), the 12-core, 24-thread AMD Ryzen 9 5900X scores 1605 points in single-core and 12869 in the Multi-core benchmarks. The 16-core, 32-thread Ryzen 9 5950X, on the other hand, scores 1575 points in single and 13605 points in Multi-core workloads. The Ryzen 9 5900X's higher base clocks may be responsible for the higher single-core score; however, the Ryzen 9 5959X pulls ahead - expectedly - in the Multi-core portion of the benchmark. Comparing scores between the Zen 3 5950X and the Zen-based 3950X (via AnandTech), which carry the same amount of cores, the 5950X offers a 18% and 12% advantage, respectively, in the single and multi-threaded tests - not a far cry from AMD's touted 19% IPC uplift.

Is this a real problem you ran into? Because I'm pretty sure it's not a real issue just some "what ifs" people have raised for no reason.
Edit: damn autocorrect
The game requests a thread or threads and windows allocates the threads. It may of been a problem before windows updated it's scheduler.
If you do run into issues ryzen master has an option called "game mode" which will reboot the system with half the cores disabled but the same tdp limit so the base clock speed gets a bump. For example on my 65w part in game mode it will get to 3.9-4.0 GHz all core Vs 3.6ghz when running 12 cores.
I'm hoping this generation will be able to disable cores without a reboot .
Game: FarCry NewDawn
Avg CPU usage: 32%, Max CPU usage: 55%
Avg thread usage: 76%, Max thread usage: 100%
Game: Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
Avg CPU usage: 25%, Max CPU usage: 45%
Avg thread usage: 66%, Max thread usage: 88%
Both games 1920x1200 max settings (+FarCry at x1.2 render)
GPU unristricted (FPS cap) with default power settings.
FPS
NewDawn: 70~130
Hellblade: 90~140
I'm currently on the i7-7700K, and I have the same problem, there is no better CPU for my motherboard.
On the other hand, I don't think I can wait another year for the AM5 CPUs and motherboards, so most likely I'll end up with a 5900x system in the next few months, unless Intel pulls some rabbit from their hat.
It will also likely support PCIE 4.0. AT LAST!!
