Customer Ratings & Reviews

The new CPU from AMD is very fast and an excellent value.

I upgraded my PC from a 2600X (which was a bit of a side-grade from my old i7-3930k. If you have 1st or 2nd gen Ryzen or are looking for a good upgrade from a Pre-2017 intel processor (provided you get a compatible motherboard) this is a good pick. It is, quite frankly outdone in value by the 5600X and 5900X. However, the latter of those is still hard to find at MSRP or lower at the time of writing this review.

Really wasn't sure if I should go with Intel or Ryzen, but couldn't be happier with this 5800x. Other than having to flash the BIOS on my x570 prior to use, it has been easy as can be for my first build in a decade. I am only using this for gaming, but so far there isn't anything this processor cannot do! Runs every single new game with ease, and stays decently cool with my AIO. If you can get your hands on one, I highly recommend!

I bought this CPU for gaming and it does perform noticeably better than my pervious 3800X. Depending on the game the difference may be up to 20% FPS which is a big increase. Installing was as easy as it can get - update BIOS, remove old CPU, install new one - done! Clock speeds are great. I found it very sensible to make this last upgrade for the AM4 socket. Recommended!

Preforms wonderfully. Easy install. If installing on an older AM4+ board, do not forget to upgrade your mobo bios. Upgrading from a Ryzen 1700X increased my frames 20+ and allowed me to run on epic/maxed settings for most games. GPU is a 2080 (not TI) and have 32 GB RAM on a SSD.

Huge upgrade from my Ryzen 5 5600 and I love it, works amazing and probably be my last Am4 CPU.

Sick chip, i want the 9 now. But the 7 does the job and dies it well. Im still messing with the overclocking but even without that the chip works great

Lighting fast, a beast for gaming, and worth the money!

I upgraded from a 5600x to this mostly for the gaming side of everything. I still do video editing now and then and still pretty solid. I'm glad I upgraded since this will last me for several years before a new system build.

Really good! My boyfriends computer now runs smoother than a baby’s skin :)

Really good cpu, but grab the 7800x if you have the extra cash. Will handle anything you throw at it but still more of a mid range cpu when it comes to gaming.

I got rid of my 3700X for this CPU. I got the 3700X on a whim and I was disappointed with it, it was too slow for my RX 6800. I experienced some micro stutters in most games, I run 1440P in all scenarios. So for those wondering if it's worth the upgrade, I can confidently say that it is. I have had nothing but great gameplay since.

Recently upgraded from the ryzen 5 to this because it was on sale. Didnt think it would be that significant of an improvement, but boy was I wrong. This paired with my 6800xt makes an astounding upgrade.

Great CPU with lower power draw and strong performance for gaming and video editing. Easily out performs Intel's 11th gen in both thermals and speed. The value per dollar is slightly better for the 5600x and 5900x.

Excellent CPU. Price is a bit high but they are dropping a bit on these processors. I had to exchange the first one because it had a faulty memory controller but hey.....it happens. One thing for anyone planning on purchasing this...it gets hot. Make sure you have a decent cooler and plenty of airflow in your case. The CPU is 7nm process with all 8 cores on a single CCX so it gets toasty.

Amazing performance from AMD as always. Multitasking and gaming performance has been drastically improved from the last Zen 2 architecture. Would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for both gaming and light professional work.

Honestly a really good cpu. Every game I played had more than 200+ fps on high setting with my rtx 3070 and 32gb of ram but the commas it run so much batter.

I love it works like a chime it’s great runs great

I've upgraded RAM, GPU, PSU and even MOBO but this CPU is still hanging in there. I've got it paired with a XFX Merc310 Black RX 7900 XT. No bottle necking or trouble keeping up. 165hz 1440p monitor. At $250 this chip is a steal.

Very good cpu for the money beats intels offerings
