The Ryzen 9 for mobile should have been scraped unless they were 12C variants

With how they have it setup there are way to many 8C/16T CPUs that all have the same specs other than Clocks and TDP

 

[Patr!ck]

interesting PRO lineup.

 

[evernessince]

Still no 5700X. AMD is doing a good job at burning any good will it's earned over the years by pricing well. Hopefully Intel's next release is good.

Laptop OEMs are targeting 15W, 25W, and 45W. Or Ultraportable (Thin-and-light), Standard Laptop, and Dekstop Replacements.

They're probably all the same chips, but by making new SKUs, we know that they've been "binned" for a particular segment. The same chip that's been manufactured will have different leakage, different GHz limits, different power-consumption. That's just the nature of manufacturing: its impossible to make the "same chip". There's always a degree of manufacturing variance.

Its confusing for sure, but these aren't parts for hobbyists to pick out from. OEMs should be smart enough to pick out the right bin for their purpose.

Ryzen 5900 and 5800 OEM only? That is quite disappointing.

AMD's weakness is relying upon TSMC, which is absolutely being overloaded with orders. There's pretty much nothing AMD can do to improve the production, since its fabless.

That's where Intel has an advantage... at least from a business side. With so many computers being sold due to the Pandemic, Intel will probably hit record profits even though its 14nm / 10nm chips are technologically inferior to TSMC 7nm and 5nm. Kind of sad to see this happen..

But AMD isn't "losing". AMD is selling out all of the chips it makes. But AMD just can't really increase production and take advantage of current economic conditions and "win harder".

 

[ViperXTR]

Aw man, 5800 oem only? I still hope for a 65w tdp 8 core retail zen3 cpu

 

[Caring1]

I'm waiting for a 5xxG series.
Bring it on.

 

[Gmr_Chick]

Still no 5700X. AMD is doing a good job at burning any good will it's earned over the years by pricing well. Hopefully Intel's next release is good.

Seriously! Also, no 5600 non X. There REALLY needs to be a 5600 in order to balance the 5600X price tag. I mean, I can't be the only one who wouldn't pay $300 for a 6 core part, right? Especially when previous generations of the 6 SKU didn't cost that much...

I mean I did

mans if we are looking at price and performance

the 3600X launched at $249 and the 5600X $299, that’s a $50 increase for a almost 20% IPC increase

that’s more than justified in my book

Yeah...you make a good point. I'll see myself out, lol

That's a bad comparison in the first place. The 3600X was never good value to begin with. The 3600 was by far the more popular model and for all intents and purposes had the same performance. In reality you are paying 50% more ($200 vs $300) for 20% extra performance. I wouldn't compare the 3800X's price to the 5800X to justify the price either. This is a lot like saying the MSRP of Ampere is good. No, it's just good in comparison to the absolutely terrible Turing. In reality Ampere is power hungry with a mediocre performance uplift and has less VRAM at the same price than cards launched almost 4 years ago.

Mind you that's assuming you can get the 5600X at MSRP. We are apparently far from general availability still.

You are falling right into AMD's trap, when in reality they've withheld all the good value products from their lineup. This is a lot like saying the MSRP of Ampere is good.

That argument still falls flat

The direct comparison will always be directly X vs X. And in this case the 5600X beats every last gen CPU in single threaded apps and just about matches last gens 8 Core in multithreaded apps. So yes you see a 25% price increase but the trade off is you get much better performance than last gen. Price to performance can get no better than that

if you want to split hairs the 3700X launched at $329 vs the 5600X at $299 but yet the 5600X offers better performance. So which is the better value

It's time we finally check out the Ryzen 5 5600X, the most affordable Ryzen 5000 series processor announced to date. Positioned as a mainstream part, it’s coming in at $300, a 20% premium over the Ryzen 5 3600X. However this third-gen processor already didn’t make sense as it cost 25% more than the R5 3600 and offered little extra performance.


Therefore, most opted for the $200 Ryzen 5 3600, which is what we widely recommended in the past year as the best value CPU, and that’s the part we’ll be comparing the 5600X to today.

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Review: 6-Core Gaming Beast

It's time we finally check out the Ryzen 5 5600X, the most affordable Ryzen 5000 series processor announced to date. Positioned as a mainstream part, it's coming...

www.techspot.com

No, the argument that it must be compared to the 3600X falls flat. A terrible value CPU that offers a mere 1.3% over the 3600. Clearly reviews around the web support my position on this.

Second, the 5600X is only 7.7% faster at 1080p gaming:

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Review

Six Zen 3 cores beating eight Zen 2 Cores? That's exactly what's happening with the Ryzen 5 5600X. AMD's massive IPC gain helped it overcome a two-core deficitm, even in productivity tests. The Ryzen 5 5600X redefines what you really need for a high-end gaming PC.

www.techpowerup.com

The margin is 16.6% for desktop applications. 20% is not a performance increase the 5600X has over the 3600, let alone the 3600X.

Like 3900 last year...
Not a surprise

 

[watzupken]

5700X is basically the 5800 non X version now. No point releasing a confusing 8c/16t SKU again like they did with the Zen 2. The existance of the 3700X basically made the 3800X redundant.

The problem with that is AMD just announced the 5800 non-x as OEM only. Can't replace a consumer part with an OEM part consumers don't have access to.

Either AMD is planning a 5700X for the consumer market or their cheapest 8 core CPU will be the 5800X, in which case I'll likely be switching to Intel if their next gen CPUs aren't a dud.

 

[PanicLake]

Like 3900 last year...
Not a surprise

But we had the 3700x... right now we don't have a 5700x... that could easily be represented by the 5800...
