AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT
An eight-core, sixteen-thread Zen 3 refresh of the Ryzen 7 5800X, built so AMD's four-year-old AM4 socket could get one more high-end CPU alongside the AM5 Ryzen 9000 launch. It keeps the 105 W envelope and 32 MB of L3 cache, adds a bundled Wraith Prism RGB cooler, and targets AM4 owners upgrading in place rather than buyers choosing a platform from scratch.
Pros
- 4.8 GHz boost clock and AMD's Precision Boost 2 logic squeeze more out of the same Zen 3 cores as the 5800X
- Ships with an RGB-lit Wraith Prism cooler in the box, which the plain 5800X does not include
- Fully unlocked multiplier, so it can still be tuned on any AM4 board
- 32 MB of L3 cache benefits games and lightly-threaded software
- Drops straight into existing X570, B550, A520, X470 or B450 boards after a BIOS update, no new platform needed
Cons
- DDR4-only memory support on a socket AMD itself has moved on from for new designs
- No integrated graphics, so a discrete GPU is required
- AMD never issued an official launch price or press release for the SKU, leaving pricing to retailers and system integrators
- Architecturally identical Zen 3 silicon to the four-year-old 5800X, not a new generation
Awaiting benchmarks
No Inno Score yet: single-core still needs a published benchmark result.
