Hey all,
First time posting so if I am doing anything wrong please let me know
Just saw this today and wow insane price for the Ryzen 9 5950X !!|
Updated
Price is now $457.50. EVEN CRAZIER!
Thank you
CamelCamelCamel.
Sorry try now !
Thanks.
I paid $485 for the 7800X3D from Ali.
This is a good deal!
7800x3d is gaming CPU which beats this easily.
For gaming…
Yeah i said that.
@Axelstrife: Well you didn't really. You said its a gaming cpu and so its beats it easily. Just clarifying because if you use it for multi threaded application like video editing etc it wont be as good as the 5950x. Gaming, however you are correct.
@Axelstrife: I think you're the one trolling. Why you even bringing up gaming? Gamers on AM4 would go 5800XeD. This is for those of us who need cores - servers, proxmox, etc.
There's other stuff besides gaming? Bullshit…
Word… Excel… Microsoft teams. It's a whole new world out there bro.
Not a chance, link?
Paid $1400 for this back in 2020 :(
Where? This cpu was never close to that expensive
Maybe in usd it wasn't but I remember seeing these things around $1700 on release.
5000 series was super expensive on launch because of pandemic pricing and AMD having a lead on Intel for a few months.
It was $1249 AUD RRP at launch but quickly sold out. Not many retailers had it in stock and Shopping Express was confirmed to be in stock and selling it for $1400 so I pulled the trigger as was desperate to upgrade my PC before Cyberpunk2077 came out.
Wasn't the 7800x3d on your radar? Or did you have productivity apps to consider? Genuinely curious.
Not that bad given that you have gotten 4 years of use out of a top-tier processor….
I got 2 from Scorptec (for work PCs, thankfully not my own cash) in Feb 2021 for $1,249 each, so I'd believe $1,400 assuming supply/demand markups in Nov/Dec when they were very in demand.
Edit - typo
From Germany, the Ryzen no.
I paid $660 in November. Great cpu for multitasking.
Upgrading from 3900X. Dont want to get new mobo and ram yet. Occasional video editing but mostly gaming. This a good upgrade?
I'm considering upgrading from 3900X too. The "max FPS" of 5950X sounds only marginally worse than 5800X3D, but reading some reddit posts I see people say the "FPS lows" of 5800X3D are much better. But for this price I'm thinking 5950X will be a nice hold over.
Same boat here (3900x), although theres talk of the next AMD CPU series being released this year with good speed improvements again, imagine the speed of a 9950x =)
If your primary purpose for it is gaming, get the 5800X3D. It outperforms the 5950X in every way, by a significant margin.
To upgrade to this from my 3700x or wait a few years until the next gen?….
HELP!
Are you gaming, and if so, is your GPU good enough to take advantage of more CPU?
I game as well as use photoshop and other Adobe products.
GPU is 3060Ti on an X570 board
Have had my 5950X for 4 years and don't plan to upgrade it anytime soon. For 4K video editing and export, it's still a mighty beast of a CPU. For gaming I'm still using my RTX 3080 and still manage to get 4K60 in Cyberpunk with DLSS frame gen mod and majority of the ray traced settings on. I will likely be upgrading to a RTX 5080/5090, but I will keep the 5950X for another 2 years I'd say.
In a few months 9000 series Ryzen CPUs will be out and then 6 months after that 9000X3D chips will be out, yes a platform upgrade will be needed but by then current 7000 cpu and boards that can run 9000 series cpus will be much cheaper to upgrade to.
i'm so off the game in valuating whether it is a good value upgrade and defer a totally new build, wondering if this is a a worthwhile upgrade? I built my son a desktop in 2020 for his pathway into cinematography, key specs are 3900x / X370 mob / 4x 16G RAM / 2080 Super GPU and a couple of NVME4. Primary software is Adobe Premier Pro/After Effects.
He complains about live view during editing and says his desktop isn't good enough referring to single core speed is key. He shoots with his BMPCC 4k Pro and says shifting to RAW recording is just too much when in 4k.
would appreciate validation if this upgrade is worthwhile to delay a new build another 2yrs?
No, it won't have any significant single-core performance increase. I also doubt that having an X3D range on the AM4 platform will help you. Your best bet is with Intel, but keep in mind that it comes with extra costs for the motherboard.
thanks, that's what he is pushing me to go with which coming from a 19yo not really sure his intentions. Though i know he hardly games on desktop and prefers the PS5 playing.
Passmark websites gives single core score for 3900X as 2707, and 5950X as 3469. That sounds a pretty good upgrade to me. Also I believe 5000 series has better power/OC control, which might help even further when using that clock speed control program (I forget the name).
No one should be recommending Intel in this day and age. They need 500watts to even try come close to AMD now.
I found some performance charts here
https://www.techpowerup.com/review/intel-core-i7-14700k/11.h…
Intel seems to have the lead in Adobe products but you don't gain much at all going above a 14600k and AMD 7000 is not far behind
Unfortunately 3000 series ryzen isn't on these chart but the 5950x is and seeing it is slower than the similarly priced 14600k, I'd say it's not the best choice for this software
Yer but the cheapest 14600 on staticice is $425, and then you need MOBO and probably RAM. Even a 13400 starts at $290 (but maybe can use the same RAM?).
And if you go back to 5950X review, it shows Adobe video editing scores of 5950X = 202 and 3900X = 251. So a 20% improvement.

FYI: In those scores, lower is better (seconds taken)
Man this is tanking in price, bought 3-4 weeks ago for ~545 🤦♂️
Just HODL for Computex plus 2 weeks.
This is asking for a proxmox build. Might swap a 5600 out of my server and pop this in.
HODL sub $400
$426.48 now (4 11 available)
Anyone got a spare one they want to sell?
Right now its for $475.98. Not the same price but still pretty good
bruv. need the link
