Overall ratingVery good80/100
AMD has clearly decided this battle in its favour. Giant Intel has to play hard to catch up again. At the moment, the classes for the blue team have moved back one point and we have to compare 5s with 7s. The fact that AMD still has a Ryzen 9 5950X up its sleeve should only be mentioned here in passing out of courtesy.

That is unusual. It seems Intel has slept through the times a little. When it comes to CPUs, Tema Blue is clearly behind Team Red. This comparative test shows that without ifs and buts. The good thing: CPU prices are developing nicely - as long as AMD doesn't get greedy. The fastest desktop CPU in the consumer sector comes from AMD...

The new Ryzen 9 5950X and Ryzen 5 5600X CPUs work faster and more economically than their predecessors. However, the advantages are not so huge that they retire the old CPUs. Those who have a Ryzen 3000 CPU can keep it. For upgrading older computers, however, a 5000 model makes sense.

- Many cores and threads
- high application performance
- Zen 2 in 7nm
- Lower gaming performance than Core i7
The Ryzen 7 3700X impresses with its combination of high gaming performance with comparatively low power consumption, especially for a CPU with eight cores. Due to the sharp price reductions of its predecessor, the Ryzen 7 2700(X), which is currently around 160 to 180 euros cheaper, is a sensible alternative.

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X is only slightly slower than the Intel Core i9-10900K in games, especially in higher resolutions, but is more than 200 euros cheaper. The upcoming Xbox Series X and PS5 game consoles will also use an octa-core of the Zen2 generation based on the Ryzen 7 3700X...
