Ryzen 3900X vs 5800X with 6800XT in 1080p & 1440p

the best processors are the ones that deliver outstanding performance at a reasonable price point. And, the Ryzen 9 3900X absolutely nails this concept. This processor packs 12-cores and 24-threads in a mainstream package for the first time, and does it at a similar price point as the Intel Core i9-9900K, a processor with just 8-cores and 16-threads. Ryzen 3900X vs 5800X with 6800XT in 1080p & 1440p The AMD Ryzen 9 3900X marks yet another blast from Team Red, ramping up the intensity of the AMD vs Intel processor war. Still, though, there’s more than just core counts when it comes to a mainstream processor, as single-core performance needs to be on point, especially if you’re hoping to play the best PC games. Now, we&asking ourselves whether or not the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X finally dethrones the Intel Core i9-9900K as the de facto ruler of the mainstream processors. Ultimately, it depends: the 3900X doesn&reach the same single-core performance as Intel, but we&starting to see more games adopt multi-threaded CPUs, so that doesn&matter as much. And, now that people are going to be buying more CPUs for Black Friday, this will make for a more heated processor battle. Speaking of which, if you want a high-end desktop (HEDT) 12-core processor that can compete with the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, you’re going to have to drop quite a bit more cash and get something like the $1,189 (£1,329, AU$1,799) Intel Core i9-9920X. And, even if you do go with this Intel Basin Falls Refresh chip, you won’t...
