What the 5800X Should Have Been: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X CPU Review & Benchmarks

AMD’s Ryzen 7 5700X CPU follows-up the R7 5800X, but at $300 instead of the original $400+ price-point. That puts the R7 5700X vs. the i5-12600K, primarily, but also AMD’s own R5 5600.

This review and benchmark of the AMD R7 5700X CPU tests the new AMD release vs. the R7 5800X, i5-12600K, R7 3700X, R7 2700X, the AMD R5 5600, the 5600X, and more. The CPU market has flooded recently as AMD has scrambled to counter Intel, and that’s showing in the launch where AMD has spanned the budget market up to the mid-range. The high-end is still occupied just by the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and 5950X, but the company is currently working toward its launch of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D (which we’ll review soon, hopefully!). In this review, we’re focusing on if the R7 5700X is worth it for gaming or for production applications, and where it makes the most sense. To us, the R5 5600 makes sense as the best middle-ground option for gaming as delivered by AMD, while Intel is still fighting hardest with its i5-12400 and 12600K.
