As AMD's strongest 8-core CPU today, the Ryzen 7 5800X is full of combat power in 2021. First of all, it pressed the 11th generation Of Core flagship Core i9-11900K, dominated the high-end CPU market for more than half a year, and now after the price reduction to about 2000 thousand prices, the cost performance of the machine has covered the Core i5-12600K that has just appeared, which is simply unstoppable.
Some people may ask, under the new offensive of Intel 12 Core, why is the Ryzen 7 5800X still so fragrant? First of all, according to the evaluation of major media at home and abroad, the Ryzen™ 7 5800X and the Core i5-12600K have won and lost each other, and the overall performance is similar.
(The AMD B550 chipset motherboard of a first-tier manufacturer can currently have less than 800 yuan!)
(The Intel Z690 chipset motherboard of a first-line manufacturer, the DDR4 version must be at least 1500 yuan away)
Secondly, looking at the entire storage platform, because the Z690 motherboard is expensive, the DDR5 memory is also expensive, and the radiator has to be updated, resulting in the current saving cost of the 12th generation Core platform being overall expensive, and the cost performance is not so high. The Ryzen 7 5800X with a B550 chipset motherboard of about 800 yuan can achieve overclocking, support for PCIe4.0 solid-state drives and other rigid needs, the cost of saving the machine is relatively low, and the cost performance is particularly prominent.
Next, the author designed two sets of machine configuration lists for the Ryzen 7 5800X and Core i5-12600K respectively, and you can clearly see the huge advantages of the Ryzen 7 5800X in terms of cost performance.
If you give the Core i5-12600K platform with DDR4 memory and the corresponding motherboard, the same price Ryzen™ 7 5800X platform can be paired with a higher-end graphics card, such as the Core i5-12600K platform If it is equipped with an RTX3060 graphics card, then the Ryzen™ 7 5800X platform can be paired with a higher-end RTX3060Ti graphics card.
If you give the Core i5-12600K platform with DDR5 memory and the corresponding motherboard, the cost of saving the machine is higher. The Ryzen™ 7 5800X platform can be paired with a higher-end graphics card. For example, if the Core i5-12600K platform is paired with an RX6600 graphics card, then the Ryzen 7 5800X platform can be at least paired with a more high-end RX6700XT graphics card, and the choice of graphics card can be at least 2 grades higher than the Core i5-12600K platform.
Next, the author will take the second set of configuration sheets as an example to show you how uneconomical the Core i5-12600K platform is for gamers in front of the Ryzen 7 5800X, with DDR5 memory.
CPU benchmark performance tests

Test Summary: Both processors are indeed on the same level in terms of CPU benchmark performance.
The Ryzen™ 7 5800X is 8 cores with 16 threads, and the Core i5-12600K is 6+4 cores with 16 threads. Although in terms of the number of cores, the Core i5-12600K seems to be more than the Ryzen™ 7 5800X, but whether in the new Win11 system or in the previous Win10 system, the performance of the 12th generation Core "small core" is not satisfactory. The Ryzen 7 5800X is a mature ZEN 3 architecture design, the 8 core performance is excellent, compared to the Core i5-12600K performance is still gratifying.
CPU gaming performance testing
Game performance is the focus of our comparison test. Next, I will compare the game performance of the Ryzen™ 7 5800X platform and the Core i5-12600K platform with 5 online games and 1 popular stand-alone game.
Popular online game test - "League of Legends"
League of Legends is currently the number one esports game in the world! It is developed by Riot Games in the United States and operated Chinese mainland Tencent Game Agency. In 2018, League of Legends became a competition item at the Asian Games.
Popular online game test - "CS:GO"
CS:GO is a first-person shooter team competitive game developed by Valve and represented by Perfect World, and is the canonical sequel to the world-renowned CS. It inherits the classic, and players can compete to become the battlefield elite in the rain of bullets.
Popular online game test - "PUBG"
PUBG is a tactical competitive shooter sandbox game developed by Blue Hole, which mainly refers to chicken eating chicken. In this game, players need to collect various resources on the game map and fight other players in a shrinking safe area to survive to the end.
Popular online game test - "Overwatch"
Overwatch is a first-person shooter developed by Blizzard Entertainment and released worldwide on May 24, 2016, Chinese mainland represented by NetEase. Set against the backdrop of a futuristic Earth, the game tells the story of the entanglement of humans, Overwatch members, and intelligent machines. Each hero has their own signature weapons and skills.
Popular online game test - "Fortnite"
Fortnite is a 100-player PvP competitive shooter in which players will play as a young man who participates in the selection, competes with other opponents, determines the final winner, and leads everyone to save the village and defend the homeland. In PVE mode, players can team up to explore the world, rescue survivors, and face incoming monsters at night.
Phenomenal Game Testing – Cyberpunk 2077
Next, after testing several popular online games, I will test Cyberpunk 2077 again. "Cyberpunk 2077" can be called a phenomenon-level game, which can be said to be known to everyone in the game circle, and it is highly representative.
Cyberpunk 2077 is undoubtedly one of the most popular light-chasing games out there. It tells an action-adventure story in an open world set in "Night City", a metropolis obsessed with power, charm and body modification. The player's character "V" is transformed into a mercenary on the edge of the law after undergoing a physical transformation that attempts to obtain an immortal life.
Test Summary: The Ryzen™ 7 5800X has always had excellent online gaming performance, which is well known among the player community. Especially in the case of the total price of the machine is about the same, the advantage of the Ryzen 7 5800X game platform is even greater, players can choose a higher-end graphics card, and the game performance directly throws off the Core i5-12600K platform for several streets. AMD is just right!
CPU power consumption test
I continued to test the AIDA64 FPU grill to test the full power performance of the Ryzen™ 7 5800X and Core i5-12600K processors.
Test Summary: With a proven 7nm process, the AMD Ryzen™ 7 5800X has a much lower power consumption performance than the Core i5-12600K.
Although the Core i5-12600K uses the new Intel 7 process, it is essentially Intel's 10nm process, so it is still a lot behind AMD 7nm in terms of process.
Summary of the full text
Since the release of the AMD Ryzen™ 7 5800X in November 2020, this Ryzen™ 7 has competed in the three generations of Intel Core 10th, 11th and 12th generations. From the performance strength that the author shows to you this time, the combat effectiveness of the Ryzen 7 5800X is still quite outstanding, and the theoretical performance is still very strong, especially for mainstream gamers, the cost performance of the Ryzen 7 5800X game platform is far better than that of the Core i5-12600K game platform, and the processor power consumption is still low, and the threshold for forming the Ryzen 7 5800X game platform is also lower.
Cost-effective far from the competitor Core i5-12600K several streets, AMD Ryzen™ 7 5800X game platform is so powerful, which is why the word "AMD YES" can be popular in the global computer circle! In a word, 2,000 price game CPU, but also have to recognize Ryzen™
At the end of the article, the author also wants to tell players a good news, that is, in 2022, AMD is expected to release the Ryzen 6000 series desktop processors with 3D V-Cache caching technology, and the game performance will climb to a new high, which is worth looking forward to!
