Ryzen 7 5800X vs i7-10700K Choice

[techrecorder]

Should I wait for Ryzen Zen 3 CPUs? They launch in 2 days.

I was gonna buy the i7-10700K, but I'm not sure. The Ryzen 7 5800X seems pretty overpriced anyway (10700K- $379, 5800X- $449), and doesn't seem that much better, according to this comparison video:

I want other people's opinions as well. Thanks!

Wait for review benchmarks. That isn't reputable

Definitely wait for benchmarks from reputable sources. The video you linked is most likely fake.

That video is a big lie just made for views as guess what the cpu isn't even out yet. Might as well wait it's 2 days.

Hello! I'm gonna buy a new CPU very soon, and I still don't know what to choose.

I see that Ryzen 7 5800X does really well. But i'd like to know which one is better for what I do (Gaming and Video Editing [Sony Vegas & Premiere Pro CC] and general productivity.

 

Current PC: i7-7700k, GTX 1060 6GB, 650W PSU

Future PC: i7-10700k or Ryzen 7 5800X, RTX 3080, 850W PSU

Reviews are just starting to come out and will focus on higher end today, I would wait for Steve (GN) or some other deep dive style review before thinking too hard

Wait for a few more reviews, but from what I have seen so far the R7 5800x would clean sweep any current Intel CPU's in gaming and 100% the 10700k in productivity. So really Intel makes no logical sense for anything now.

Depends where you live and what you plan to do with it really.

Take, for instance, price. In Canada, the 10700kf is $150 less than the 5800x. That's a pretty substantial difference.

Gamers Nexus is doing a Skew by Skew review of all 5000 series parts and is going in pretty granular on each, the 5900 is just up now so would expect the 5800 in a couple of hours or so.

It is odd moment.  Amd is faster in gaming, but not upgradeable.  Intel can upgrade with rocket lake next year on same mobo.  I'm guessing it won't be worth upgrade, but it is exact flip of how it was few years ago.

 

For gaming, it looks like for same price they are about tied at same core count, amd ahead but close enough not to notice with out numbers displayed when playing.

Crazy thing is that top intel is at about middle of pack of ryzen 5000, Intel is no show on high end vs 5950x.  

 

Productivity has amd beating intel hedt, let alone desktop. Probably worth paying little more for more cores only amd offers if doing a lot of productivity.

 

Personally, I ordered 5950x, but would call 6 vs 6 and 8 vs 8 core chips a tie broken by availability/motherboard features.

yeah, but considering amd motherboards are cheaper it might be a very good option to go for AMD. Anyway in my country its a $55 difference, I think it's kind of worth it to upgrade. But I don't know. I'm waiting for more people's opinions on this.

Yep, I usually actually spend more time video editing than playing video games, but I see that the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X still outperforms the i7 10700K even in gaming. (in some cases A LOT, like in CS:GO where it destroys intel with a +200 fps boost)

Eh the motherboards aren't that big of a difference here. Hence why I said it depends where you live and what prices are like.

If you spend more time editing, biggest bang for buck is probably going from 8 to 12 cores for $100.  Won't do much for gaming, but it would really help with a lot of editing programs.  Should also allow doing things like taking break by just minimizing editor to take gaming break instead of closing out.  Excess of cores are great for switching back and forth between things without need to close programs.
