king of the hill
The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X is a fairly expensive flagship model that would have been in a server room a couple of years ago. But no, for sane money we can buy a "stone" with 16 physical and 16 virtual cores, clocked at 3.4 GHz, and in Boost mode it increases to 4.9 GHz. Cache memory 64 MB.
Confident turbo boost
Given the official price tag of 799 euros, these figures are more impressive than the photos of the young Schwarzenegger from the Mr. Olympia tournament. But even more impressive in action. It has been written and said a thousand times that the old ryzens suffered from the inability to keep a stable frequency in a turbo boost across all cores. But with the release of the Vermeer generation, the ice has broken and the new Ryzen 9 5950X often goes beyond the maximum frequency indicated in the specification, reaching 4925 GHz without any overclocking. This is especially interesting against the background of the younger Ryzen 5 5600X, which, judging by the first tests, does not like overclocking at all.
Performance unbeatable
In fact, the flagship Vermeer proved to be royal: 16 cores and 32 threads is the maximum among high-end custom platforms. Only Threadripper processors provide more cores and more performance, but with them you have to invest more in the motherboard and memory. Intel is way behind. For example, earlier in the PCMark 10 test, which comprehensively assesses the overall performance of the processor in typical everyday tasks, Ryzen lagged behind Intel, and the 10-core Core i9-10900K with 9937 points in this test slightly outperformed the 12-core Ryzen 9 3900X. Now this rating is confidently headed by Ryzen 9 5950X with 10613 points.
The processor that drags in any tasks
Thanks to the use of the new architecture, AMD really got rid of old sores and its new brainchild sets the same records in any other tests for rendering, compiling, archiving and data processing. In games, he also competes for the title of himself with the i9-10900K. Although we would not buy such processors purely for games, the influence of the CPU on FPS is now small and it is better to invest this money in a graphics card. Oh yes, the icing on the cake was the fact that the power consumption of the Ryzen 9 5950X turned out to be at the level of the "younger" models of the Vermeer family.
