AMD vs Intel

[Chiranjeet Bhattacharya]

AMD Ryzen 5800X is how much faster then already owned 9900K in both single thread as well as multi threaded workloads and how much IPC difference

assuming max oc, so 4.7 (4.8 if you can cool it) zen 3 vs 5.1 intel ddr3800, you are looking at about a 25% difference.

 

That's single core difference, as for ipc, not sure but you can do the math.

IPC as a number is typical not publicly represented on a spec sheet, you could get a rough estimate by calculating the real world performance and the clock speeds together, but only the real world performance really matters for a gaming PC. 

 

Compared to the 9900K, it's a small upgrade but I wouldn't say it's worth the cost and the platform switch, as the 9900K is still a very high end CPU that pairs well with high end graphics cards.

And what about mukti threaded workloads

They have the same amount of cores and threads, so the difference in single threaded performance would be very similar to the multi threaded difference.

Threadripper eats them and spits them out a pile of chewed up data and pulp.

Yeah but the price tag eats up and spits out your wallet

Trade-off.

Someone should make a GIF of a Threadripper eating data and your wallet at the same time.

But Benchmarks shows that 5800X is better

Well, we're currently waiting on 5000 series Threadripper, so in gaming the 5800X and such would be a lot faster. And yes, the 5800X is better than the 9900K, but the 9900K is still a good CPU.

 

Do you only do gaming on this system, or do you also have some production workloads for semi-professional work? I would suggest a Ryzen 9 5900X, if you were to upgrade.

 

Usually I say swapping to Ryzen is a good idea because of the upgrade path, but 5000 series ryzen is the last line of processors available on this socket, so you might want to wait until AMD releases a new platform (AM4+ or AM5)
