Sentiment Score 84%The Zen 3-based Ryzen 9 5900X is the new pace-setter, topping Intel's Core i9-10900K on all fronts. It's also shattering top speed records in many games like CSGO. In our eyes, the chip continues to be overkill if all you are getting it for is games. For gaming at 1080p or 1440p alone on a tight budget, we'd still recommend picking up the stellar Ryzen 3 3300X.

Sentiment Score 89%The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X is the fastest processor we've ever tested on a mainstream platform. In all but one of our tests, it was significantly ahead of not only its predecessor, the Ryzen 9 3900X, but ahead of its main competition – the Intel Core i9-10900K. The biggest story here is the significant jump in single-core performance, facilitated by that ground-up redesign in the Zen 3 architecture.
