Our review of the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X CPU is already live, and now we're moving on to the 12C/24T AMD R9 5900X. This follows the AMD R9 3900X launch and somewhat displaces the 3950X, despite the latter having a 4-core/8-thread advantage. The AMD R9 5900X most directly competes with Intel's i9-10900K in price, or AMD's own previous R9 3900X. The 5950X is mostly reserved or sensible for workstation PC builds, while the 5900X splits the middle between a true workstation-class CPU and a high-end gaming-class CPU. Today, we'll be testing gaming performance, overclocking performance, showing the best CPUs for gaming in 2020 (so far, again), the best workstation CPUs for Photoshop, 3D art, compression, and more, and testing power consumption. Our AMD R5 5600X review and benchmarks are coming soon, as are our AMD R7 5800X review and benchmarks.
