Friendly Fire: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X CPU Review & Benchmarks vs. 5600X & 5900X

Our benchmark and review of the AMD R7 5800X CPU looks at its performance versus the AMD R5 5600X, R9 5900X, R9 5950X, and Intel competition. This one is the shortest of the new reviews.

The 5800X, like the 10900K now, is still objectively 'good,' it's just not as impressive as the other new AMD parts for the price. This is the last of our initial 4 reviews we're posting for the AMD Ryzen 5000 CPU launch. We've now tested and reviewed the AMD R9 5950X, 5900X, R5 5600X, and the R7 5800X. We have plenty of other content in the pipeline to help you figure out the optimal combinations for these CPUs. The closest competitor to the 5800X from Intel is probably the 10700K, although the 10900K isn't distant in price, either. Regardless, we've already largely covered how Intel compares to the Zen 3 / Ryzen 5000 CPUs, so we'll direct our focus primarily to how the 5800X does versus the 5600X and 5900X.
