Every time I drop by this ryzen thread sure got some performance haggle issues reported (I havent even drop in OCN even)
It seems that this ryzen zen 3 is only good on paper, and also a straw launch. (not even paper launch, at least RTX 3080 and 3090s comes every 2 weeks or so)
Without a minimum of DDR4 3200 CL14 or DDR4 3600 CL16, I dont know if 5900x can beat i9 10900K. If theres something to learn, its that AMD are shills. And youtubers words cannot pakai wan if you buy a PC to game more than anything else - they run it on High end motherboards, under a controlled setting, maybe also paid reviews some of them.
U are not going to run cinebench, prime 95 all day long, certainly 80% gamers are casual group, also do not overclock like those youtubers do.
U buy the PC to instruct it to game lar. And instruct the CPU, I want you sit at this X Ghz all day long because this is the money I invested on you.
Until now many of u are still running benchmarks to see whether the zen 3 stable ka, temperature ok ka, voltage ok ka. 2 months + already, waiting for AGESA updates (stability stability stability every update is it even a stability update why every time call it stability update)
Finally good luck playing the bsod roulette.
You are right about AMD fans being vocal and loud. Or fanatic like cstkl1 mentioned. But so far my 5900x is perfect alright except the higher temp than I seen from my 3700x. There is no BSOD issue except when I am tweaking the IF and RAM. If run at stock and XMP, perfectly stable system and saw noticeable improvement in game FPS compare to my previous 3700x and 6700k. So what you said those youtuber is AMD shills, kind of exaggerated. They just tested it using tests that general public would understand, like cinebench, 3dmark and etc. Able to provide sufficient information that help their purchase decision.
So Ryzen 5000 series aint that bad, just got the flaws that need to be fixed along the way. But if Alder lake really live up to expectation and etc, I would jump back to Intel by then. Monolith design, lower temp overall which I more comfortable with and Intel system felt easier to OC for newbie like me.
