AMD Ryzen 7 5700X
Eight Zen 3 cores squeezed into a 65 W envelope — essentially a 5800X with lower clocks and far lower power draw, on a single CCD so there is no cross-die latency penalty. It is the AM4 pick for mixed work and play when you want cores without a 142 W power budget.
Pros
- 8 cores / 16 threads at 65 W TDP and 88 W PPT — runs on modest coolers and VRMs
- Single CCD with 32 MB of shared L3, so no inter-chiplet latency in games
- Within about 5-8% of the 5800X in multithreaded work at roughly two-thirds the power
- PCIe 4.0 for GPU and NVMe
- Responds well to PBO and Curve Optimizer undervolting
Cons
- No cooler in the box, unlike the Ryzen 5 parts
- 4.6 GHz boost trails the 5800X's 4.7 GHz in lightly threaded work
- No integrated graphics
- Gets beaten in gaming by the cheaper 5700X3D despite having the same core count
