 K900 | If you want workstation and video games on one machine | 11:08:19 |
 marienz | 5950x3d does not exist (other than as a prototype) if I understand correctly, 5000-series x3d caps out at 5800x3d (8 cores / single CCD) | 11:10:22 |
| K900 | Ugh | 11:10:39 |
| K900 | Yeah sorry | 11:10:41 |
| K900 | Thinking of 7950X3D | 11:10:47 |
| K900 | But that's AM4 | 11:10:51 |
| K900 | * But that's AM5 | 11:10:55 |
| marienz | yeah, it's annoying but it is what it is | 11:11:17 |
| K900 | Then yeah it's either 5950X or wait for 5800X3D re-release probably at Computex? | 11:11:21 |
 magic_rb | Yeah i wish they actually released that one | 11:11:38 |
| K900 | Or try to hunt Aliexpress for 5700X3D | 11:11:44 |
| K900 | But I think they stopped making those also | 11:11:51 |
| K900 | Or at least I haven't seen a non-refurbished listing in a bit | 11:12:19 |
| marienz | ...ugh, I thought that re-release had already happened but you're right, not actually available (at least not readily available in the country I'm in) | 11:17:55 |
| magic_rb | 5700x3d is 380 from ali goddamn | 11:21:30 |
| magic_rb | https://www.marktplaats.nl/v/computers-en-software/processors/m2399857761-amd-ryzen-7-5800x3d-processor hm | 11:24:53 |
| magic_rb | How much of a difference in perf should i expect between those two? | 11:25:53 |
| marienz | 5950x noticeably faster in workloads that can use its cores, 5800x3d noticeably faster in things that can make use of its additional cache (which in practice is mostly games) | 11:26:58 |
| K900 | It's leaked a bunch | 11:27:01 |
| K900 | But not actually shipping yet | 11:27:01 |
| K900 | Yeah they're out of stock ~everywhere now | 11:27:02 |
| magic_rb | Good deal no? | 11:28:50 |
| K900 | 5950X is 16 cores, 5800X3D is 8 cores but huge L3 cache | 11:29:00 |
| K900 | The cores are the exact same | 11:29:08 |
| K900 | The X3D literally just glues a die of extra L3 cache on top | 11:29:24 |
| K900 | Of the exact same silicon | 11:29:27 |
| magic_rb | Gah, im tempted to go for the 5950x then, :/ | 11:29:31 |
| K900 | Which is huge for games | 11:29:41 |
| K900 | But kinda eh in productivity loads | 11:29:50 |
| marienz | I don't have the performance data for these paged in but I think that one hit TDP limitations if you use all cores, so it's not actually twice as fast in productivity workloads despite having twice the cores, but it's certainly faster (if your workload can use the cores) | 11:31:54 |
