Beaten by the 5800X in almost every test, unless AVX512 was used. Given the 7nm shortage at TSMC, Intel might still beat it in price / availability.

- menmob 6y agoFor 5600X/5800X, availability is fine now. They’ve been in stock at amazon for a few days continuously. 5900X and 5950X on the other hand.. good luck.
- ChuckMcM 6y agoI find it really amazing that one of the things "saving" Intel at the moment is that TSMC is maxxed out on 7nm capacity ATM.
- SloopJon 6y agoI really wanted to build a Zen 3 / RTX 30-something to replace my Ivy Bridge / GTX 1060. After months of chasing the RTX, I finally ordered a prebuilt yesterday with a 10700K / RTX 3080. Now to see if it really is "in stock and ready to ship." The only thing I feel like I'll be missing in the 10700K compared to the 11700K is AVX512. It's been derided for throttling, but it does look kind of amazing for certain workloads. One thing I find curious about the Zen 2 and Zen 3 product lines is that the processor I really want is OEM only: first the 3900, now the 5900. I like the idea of twelve cores at an easier-to-cool 65W. I bought an OEM Athlon back in the day, but I don't see a lot of OEM processors for sale these days. Maybe just more fallout from the chip shortage.
