Thanks for this video! I'm a 3D Animator who's doing ALL the research towards building a PC (I've only ever had iMacs as my personal computer since college!), and whilst the Ryzen 5 does seem to tick all the boxes, I think I may go with the 7 simply for future-proofing and to have that extra boost in performance! Hoping to get an NVidia 2070 Super GPU as well since that seems extremely well-received! :)
NOTE: There were no Ryzen 4000 Desktop processors. Ryzen 4000 was mobile (laptop) only. Desktop 3000 = Lapop 4000 generation wise. This was not known at the time of this video. So when she meant "skip the Ryzen 4000 and go for Ryzen 5000 for future-proofing", take it as skip 5000 and go for 6000. 5000 series is also where AMD beat Intel in gaming too, by having better single-core performance (5600x beats 10900k too in that). Skipping 5000 to go for 6000 and AM5 socket boards should give you 5 years of upgrade capability (as we saw about 5 years support for AM4) AND rumours suggest DDR5 RAM support.
Love the channel, it has everything any one wants to know about computing, and it’s easy to “digest” the information. The channel needs more recognition !! And also the editing, it’s the best I’ve ever seen so far.
FOR ANYONE WHO DOESNT KNOW, ryzen 3 3300x 4 cores 8 threads gets more performance in gaming than ryzen 5 3500x for example and it’s cheaper( for gaming 4 cores and 8 threads is enough for JUST GAMING and it’s better for gaming than ryzen 5 3500x but for other things the ryzen 5 3500x is a bit worse in performance but better in video editing and recording for example cuz it has 6 cores and 12 threads, for a bit more money the ryzen 5 3600 is best value cuz it’s good for gaming and better for video editing and recording it has 6 cores and 12 threads)
Just bought all the new parts for a gaming rig except the CPU. Been an Intel fanboy all my life but due to AMD's crazy Linux compatibility I figured I'd opt for parts that work with AMD over Intel and do some research. You've summed up everything I needed to know into a period of less than an hour. Thank you so much!
Always thought these sort of guide videos were dumb, like who doesn't know about CPUs, but as someone that fell off the pc gaming landscape this past year, I'm going to eat my own words and learn.

i am still rocking my AMD FX8350 8 core 4.0 ghz and nvidea Gforce GTX 1060 6GB. It still copes well with modern games on medium/high settings. an 8 year old system where i see intel systems from that period struggle a lot with modern titles

Thank you, u really explained each and everything that I really want to know about those CPU's in a very easy way I really appreciate it and keep up the good work
Way more in depth than I thought it would be. As someone who is currently using an Intel CPU and is looking to try out an AMD processor, this is very helpful. Thanks.
Well really it depends what you use it for A Ryzen 7 is really what I would recommend for gaming with and a Ryzen 5 if you're not really going to do much of anything else in the background I just upgraded from a 1500x to a 3700x and it's wonderful I don't have to worry so much about my processor maxing out anymore like I had to with that 1500x, a Ryzen 5 3600, 3600x, 5600, or 5600x is fine too if all you are doing is gaming don't confuse the Ryzen 7 and 9 as just business end CPUs like she explained, I would say if you have the budget get one of them so you won't have to worry about upgrading for quite a while a 3900x will last you a long time if you want to know between the 3900x and 5900x and you already have a 3900x don't upgrade until the next-gen Ryzen 6000 series comes out you'll be fine until then if you are on a Ryzen 5 or decided to get one over a Ryzen 9 then I would consider upgrading to a 5900x but upgrading to a 5600x ehhh not quite the upgrade i mean sure it's faster but... just a little bit and it owuldn't be worht it to me.
Ryzen 7 and 9 are overkill for gaming workloads which is the main focus of your channel but it might be worth mentioning that the reason to get one might be for professional workloads or hobbyists with different needs. I.E. They're not just overpowered processors that nobody needs.
I'm curious if Ryzen 5 is still the best option to consider today since this review was made a year ago. I'm now thinking of purchasing Ryzen 7 instead as I want to consider a good processor for a long run. Any thoughts?
@@alexa4201 i had a similar thought then, was gonna get the Ryzen 5 2600 at the time since it was on sale when the 3000 series were only a few months old, but i opted for the Ryzen 7 3700 8 core instead, and im glad i made that choice. sure even now in 2022 i haven't played a game that took up 8 cores, but plenty of games use atleast 4, so getting a 6 core would've been ok, but i wanted that extra head room. it allows the CPU to breathe more, and doesn't have to work as hard. when i put on a game the CPU only operates at 58% which is pretty good, if it's a damanding game it'll go up to about 66%, but that's still pretty good. it also helps if you have a decent GPU, which i do have Radeon RX 6600 XT. i got that GPU after upgrading from a gtx 1050ti i had for a long time.
Gpu is the most expensive part. My first pc was $899, a 233 mhz cpu, 512k of ram, 8 meg hard drive in the late 90's, what you can get today for $1000 beats that so badly it's not funny. GPU prices suck today so badly.
Good info. Thanx.. I'm currently running a Ryzen 5 3600 on a B450F gaming board but have upgraded to a Ryzen 9 5950X. Just having a RAM incompatibility issue.
Much appreciation for this video 👍, as My current desktop pc is using the AMD FX3850 but plan on building a Ryzen desktop pc in the coming months. It would be nice for you to do a video on the laptops available with Ryzen cpu's . I own 3 laptops with Intel cpu's but would go for a decent performing laptop with Ryzen.
Since I made the previous comment, I held off on a Ryzen desktop build due to Graphic card pricing😢. I did buy a laptop ,The DELL G5 SE with Ryzen 9 4600H. I am happy with it after some tweaking 😁.
Would a ryzen 7 5700 do anything over a ryzen 5 2600 for dwarf fort? I read somewhere that dwarf fortress can only use one core and the single core performance of the 7 isnt as strong.
I don't think Ryzen 5 is for gamers anymore as the new consoles will be using ryzen 7 chips so games are going to be developed for systems with 8 cores with 116 threads so if you have less than that you will have a bad time so I would say at a minimum you should get a ryzen 7 cpu for gaming until they update ryzen 5 to use 8 cores.
For some I may agree but the pocketbook of many tends to dictate what one can afford. If your building or buying a high end $2,000 computer yeah R7 could be best choice. But for those of us who are on a tight budget and have to keep cost under $1,000 it's not about biggest and best but what is cheapest and still do the job. Seems the R5 is still capable of doing what it's called on to do at a good price.
@@kenjett2434 I would save the extra 150 as you will have they system for 5 years rather than replacing it in 2 the extra cost will benefit you as modern AAA games are already maxing out 6 core cpu's. I'm going with the R9 5900x as I think it will cost me less in the long run as I will have it for longer. I like to buy what will cost less over the long run than right now.
@@kevinlind3172 that's fine if you can afford that. But I can't afford a $2,000 plus system and according to testing doesn't improve current gaming but very little. The biggest and most expensive isn't always the best choice. Like I said for most it's the pocketbook that chooses for you. All I want to do is play a few casual games and make and upload some you tube video. I don't need a high end computer to accomplish that. A mid range will do just fine.
@@demontanks9485 I still need to get gpu rtx 3060 & I'll be playing Sea Of Thieves, SIMS 4 & a lot more. I've been playing on ps4 & nintendo before :) I had laptops too, but it's first time I'm building an actual pc 🖥😅
I still have a Intel T5400 from 2006 with (2) 3.16 processors, 32 gigs of ram and a 1060 6 gig GPU that rocks every game at 60 fps!!! Total cost $410 bucks and its still rockin 15 years later!!!!
My mom is saving up ALL her money and trying to pay off everything she can early so she can get me a high end PC and this really helped. I really wanted the new GeForce RTX 3090 but didn’t know how a Ryzen 5 would “keep up with it” as I didn’t know if it could handle the gpu (I’m not tech savvy) but I wanted a pic that could last me like 10 years.. so I got the ryzen 9 and that was said.
sorry if this is a sorta dumb question but i was wondering what the numbers like 2400x or 3600x mean. like the higher the number the better, right? but what are they referring to?
The first number is the generation, example ryzen 5 2600 mean ryzen 5 gen 2nd, ryzen 7 4800h mean ryzen 7 gen 4th. same with intel too, i3 9100f mean i3 gen 9th. Three numbers after gen is ranking on same generation, ex 3400g, 3550h, 3600, etc. And yes higher the number mean higher performance and newer release time. But in the end of the day better to watch review first, because ryzen ryzen 5 3550h is better than 7 3750h which means all of my explanation isn’t all true
I'm not an avid Gamer, but needed a new modern set up just for every day use, due to pricing and availability I ended up with a 3600XT instead of the standard 3600. It won't be over clocked as I don't need that, and it should last as long as the Phenom II 965 Black edition that I just retired, I also have an FX9590 Piledriver on a 990 chipset that was used in my old simulator but I am retiring that too.
I had 9 years old intel i5 cpu and I didn't complain. Bought new pc with Ryzen 5 because I needed graphic card upgrade. I think it's a common story for many people. Cpu doesn't play great role, I think.
CPUs play a role but not that great as that of GPUs when gaming is concerned. A CPU can last longer as it don't have mechanical parts & GPU can easily become outdated within 3-4 years

Well really it depends what you use it for A Ryzen 7 is really what I would recommend for gaming with and a Ryzen 5 if you're not really going to do much of anything else in the background I just upgraded from a 1500x to a 3700x and it's wonderful I don't have to worry so much about my processor maxing out anymore like I had to with that 1500x, a Ryzen 5 3600, 3600x, 5600, or 5600x is fine too if all you are doing is gaming don't confuse the Ryzen 7 and 9 as just business end CPUs like she explained, I would say if you have the budget get one of them so you won't have to worry about upgrading for quite a while a 3900x will last you a long time if you want to know between the 3900x and 5900x and you already have a 3900x don't upgrade until the next-gen Ryzen 6000 series comes out you'll be fine until then if you are on a Ryzen 5 or decided to get one over a Ryzen 9 then I would consider upgrading to a 5900x but upgrading to a 5600x ehhh not quite the upgrade i mean sure it's faster but... just a little bit and it owuldn't be worht it to me.
Ryzen 7 and 9 are overkill for gaming workloads which is the main focus of your channel but it might be worth mentioning that the reason to get one might be for professional workloads or hobbyists with different needs. I.E. They're not just overpowered processors that nobody needs.
I think she said that. Saying they are more beneficial for workstations rather than just for gaming.
I was not here for gaming. I was here for knowledge!
This was the most useful video about PC Gaming 😊
Damn $500 for graphics card is too much. Now new GPUs are around $2,000
i just upgraded my external capturing/livestreaming rig from a AMD FX 8350 to a Ryzen 5 3600 not too long ago
i upgraded my Intel Core i3-8145U to a Ryzen 5 3600 (Ima overclock it to 4 ghz)
am going 10700 because its better than 3700x for the price. Coming from a 7700
I hope you can notice. I really like your voice. Like a music in my ears
Simp
I'm curious if Ryzen 5 is still the best option to consider today since this review was made a year ago. I'm now thinking of purchasing Ryzen 7 instead as I want to consider a good processor for a long run. Any thoughts?
No thoughts, only the same questions
I have the same thoughts 😭
@@alexa4201 i had a similar thought then, was gonna get the Ryzen 5 2600 at the time since it was on sale when the 3000 series were only a few months old, but i opted for the Ryzen 7 3700 8 core instead, and im glad i made that choice. sure even now in 2022 i haven't played a game that took up 8 cores, but plenty of games use atleast 4, so getting a 6 core would've been ok, but i wanted that extra head room. it allows the CPU to breathe more, and doesn't have to work as hard. when i put on a game the CPU only operates at 58% which is pretty good, if it's a damanding game it'll go up to about 66%, but that's still pretty good. it also helps if you have a decent GPU, which i do have Radeon RX 6600 XT. i got that GPU after upgrading from a gtx 1050ti i had for a long time.
It really comes down to whether you have the money or not
Gpu is the most expensive part. My first pc was $899, a 233 mhz cpu, 512k of ram, 8 meg hard drive in the late 90's, what you can get today for $1000 beats that so badly it's not funny. GPU prices suck today so badly.
Can't thank enough. Best video Available with great explaination
Thank you very much you made me settle on a ryzen 7 3800x to make it future proof
Good info. Thanx.. I'm currently running a Ryzen 5 3600 on a B450F gaming board but have upgraded to a Ryzen 9 5950X. Just having a RAM incompatibility issue.
I would disagree on the cache part. It was the recipe that made Zen 3/Ryzen 5000 series so good for gaming.
Much appreciation for this video 👍, as My current desktop pc is using the AMD FX3850 but plan on building a Ryzen desktop pc in the coming months. It would be nice for you to do a video on the laptops available with Ryzen cpu's . I own 3 laptops with Intel cpu's but would go for a decent performing laptop with Ryzen.
Ryzen 4000U/H series
Linus did a video with a laptop with an AMD CPU. If you search it, I'm sure you can find it
yea go for a ryzen 4000 series
they beat intel by a lot
@@matthewmcclain1316 ur talking about the asus zephyrus g14 which contains a ryzen 9 4900hs i think
Since I made the previous comment, I held off on a Ryzen desktop build due to Graphic card pricing😢. I did buy a laptop ,The DELL G5 SE with Ryzen 9 4600H. I am happy with it after some tweaking 😁.
This is very helpful I'm subbed now
please make this video again buy for 2023
Very informative, Thank you!
Thanks for the nice informative video. I still use an AMD 1055T from 2012 as a day to day driver with Linux. Would like to get an AMD 4650G
The explanation is top notch🔥🔥🔥
im not a gamer but the information was still very useful. thank you!
I knew I made a good choice from the very beginning! Ryzen 5 5600x, here I come.
I been running the AMD 5 and its a solid cpu.
I’m here from the future and $500 for a gpu like the 3080 sounds like a dream
Perfect!! Thank you so much!!
From what I understand CPU Cache Memory is very important for Dwarf Fortress.
Would a ryzen 7 5700 do anything over a ryzen 5 2600 for dwarf fort? I read somewhere that dwarf fortress can only use one core and the single core performance of the 7 isnt as strong.
This helped me decide which Intel CPU to buy.
Which and is great for programming and gaming high performance?
I don't think Ryzen 5 is for gamers anymore as the new consoles will be using ryzen 7 chips so games are going to be developed for systems with 8 cores with 116 threads so if you have less than that you will have a bad time so I would say at a minimum you should get a ryzen 7 cpu for gaming until they update ryzen 5 to use 8 cores.
For some I may agree but the pocketbook of many tends to dictate what one can afford. If your building or buying a high end $2,000 computer yeah R7 could be best choice. But for those of us who are on a tight budget and have to keep cost under $1,000 it's not about biggest and best but what is cheapest and still do the job. Seems the R5 is still capable of doing what it's called on to do at a good price.
@@kenjett2434 I would save the extra 150 as you will have they system for 5 years rather than replacing it in 2 the extra cost will benefit you as modern AAA games are already maxing out 6 core cpu's. I'm going with the R9 5900x as I think it will cost me less in the long run as I will have it for longer. I like to buy what will cost less over the long run than right now.
@@kevinlind3172 that's fine if you can afford that. But I can't afford a $2,000 plus system and according to testing doesn't improve current gaming but very little. The biggest and most expensive isn't always the best choice. Like I said for most it's the pocketbook that chooses for you. All I want to do is play a few casual games and make and upload some you tube video. I don't need a high end computer to accomplish that. A mid range will do just fine.
Miss 11:57 there are no ryzen 4000 zen 3, it's ryzen 5000 cpu..ryzen 6000 will use the next AM platform
There are no Ryzen 6000. Ryzen 7000 uses Zen 4.
Hope you get 100K soon!
This so educating. I appreciate y’all
These videos are so helpful, thank you
I bought Ryzen 7 3700X yesterday ^.^
Please respond to this what games do you play with it I’m looking to buy a ryzen 7 3700x but I’m not sure if that’s the one I should buy
@@demontanks9485 I still need to get gpu rtx 3060 & I'll be playing Sea Of Thieves,
SIMS 4 & a lot more. I've been playing on ps4 & nintendo before :) I had laptops too, but it's first time I'm building an actual pc 🖥😅
I still have a Intel T5400 from 2006 with (2) 3.16 processors, 32 gigs of ram and a 1060 6 gig GPU that rocks every game at 60 fps!!! Total cost $410 bucks and its still rockin 15 years later!!!!
Ouch! Sooo much hate on my beloved ryzen 9 3950x 😓 😂 you’re right MOST people wouldn’t need more than a ryzen 7!
Well explained!
2:29 so cute! 😂😂😂😂
You did a wonderful job, Well done 💯Made me think further more. I recommend this video.
AMD threadripper
Yes I need this for my study
Overclocking dose not void the warenty
DOCP in bios will auto oc based on how cool the cpu is...I've seen 4.8ghz with a 2700x on a Coolermaster 612v2.
Great 3D animations
I learned so much. Great vid!
I love the voiceover miss 😅
My mom is saving up ALL her money and trying to pay off everything she can early so she can get me a high end PC and this really helped. I really wanted the new GeForce RTX 3090 but didn’t know how a Ryzen 5 would “keep up with it” as I didn’t know if it could handle the gpu (I’m not tech savvy) but I wanted a pic that could last me like 10 years.. so I got the ryzen 9 and that was said.
Spoiled
@@xxxod I’m sorry?
5:35
7800x3d: Hold my beer
sorry if this is a sorta dumb question but i was wondering what the numbers like 2400x or 3600x mean. like the higher the number the better, right? but what are they referring to?
The first number is the generation, example ryzen 5 2600 mean ryzen 5 gen 2nd, ryzen 7 4800h mean ryzen 7 gen 4th. same with intel too, i3 9100f mean i3 gen 9th.
Three numbers after gen is ranking on same generation, ex 3400g, 3550h, 3600, etc.
And yes higher the number mean higher performance and newer release time.
But in the end of the day better to watch review first, because ryzen ryzen 5 3550h is better than 7 3750h which means all of my explanation isn’t all true
I'm not an avid Gamer, but needed a new modern set up just for every day use, due to pricing and availability I ended up with a 3600XT instead of the standard 3600. It won't be over clocked as I don't need that, and it should last as long as the Phenom II 965 Black edition that I just retired, I also have an FX9590 Piledriver on a 990 chipset that was used in my old simulator but I am retiring that too.
I had 9 years old intel i5 cpu and I didn't complain. Bought new pc with Ryzen 5 because I needed graphic card upgrade. I think it's a common story for many people. Cpu doesn't play great role, I think.
CPUs play a role but not that great as that of GPUs when gaming is concerned.
A CPU can last longer as it don't have mechanical parts & GPU can easily become outdated within 3-4 years
