User reviews
I bought this mostly as an enthusiast upgrade. Playing games honestly barely touches it in terms of core usage, but anything multi-threaded that's cpu heavy, this thing can absolutely destroy. Medium recommendation for gamers - honestly, stop at an eight core chip, you'll never notice a difference. People like content creators or machine learning experimenters - this is the one you want. Only thing more powerful is a higher tier selection of ThreadRipper chips.
Based on early tests, this 16 core processor appears to outperform the upcoming 12 core 5900X which will be priced at 549. It t lags a little behind the soon to be released the 5950X, which will be priced at 750-800. This seemed like the most logical choice for getting the most bang, for a few extra bucks, option. Good temps and performance so far!
Amazing processor! I have more power than I need, honestly. It does not overclock like an Intel processor, so keep that in mind if you are using it for mostly gaming.
