AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
Benchmarks & Specs

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X is an 8-core desktop processor with SMT support. The processor can therefore process up to 16 threads by assigning two computing tasks to a core at the same time. Since "gaps" occur again and again in arithmetic operations, these are already "filled" with the instructions for the next arithmetic operation. This can greatly increase the speed of a processor.

As the successor to the AMD Ryzen 7 3800X, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X relies on the new AMD Zen 3 cores, which operate under the "Vermeer" design. They are characterized by increased computing power per cycle (IPC). The tube performance per cycle is approximately on the level of Intels 10 nm future solutions such as the Tiger Lake mobile processors (already available). In addition, the not yet available Rocket Lake processors should have the same IPC as Tiger Lake, but these are still manufactured in a 14 nm process.

On the other hand, AMD manufactures the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X at TSMC in an improved 7 nm manufacturing process. This process enables the clock frequencies to be increased while at the same time energy consumption is manageable. Nevertheless, the 8-core processor is specified with a TDP of 105 watts. Since the processor has an open multiplier, it can be easily overclocked. The real consumption or the waste heat of the CPU is then above the TDP. Cooling solutions that can dissipate 150 to 250 watts are recommended for overclocking.

128 GB DDR4-3200 RAM (overclocking via a D.O.C.P. profile possible) is still supported. The main memory can be operated via at least two modules in the so-called dual-channel mode, in which two memory channels are used at the same time. The dual-channel mode doubles the theoretical memory bandwidth of the processor.
