Ryzen 5900X hits up to 5ghz?

Damn, the 3900x is pretty hot s*** and it doesn't get near that.

Ehhh its not that bad. I have one under a Noctua D15 air cooler and at full tilt it never touches 80C, stayed in the 75-78C range.

I meant hot s*** like awesome, not thermals. Been pretty happy with mine.

Oh I gotcha. Yea I've been extremely happy with mine. It has made converting my DVD and Blu Ray library much faster than my 3700X..and I got it for 390 on amazon so you can't beat it.
 
Why the hell are they testing these 2 CPUs at 4K resolution???

Another issue is that the i9 platform has less physical memory to work with....
Flawed comparison.

I mean, memory only really matters if you don't have enough, and nothing there in the benchmark numbers indicate that.
 
True. I was more saying everything should be equal for the case of apples to apples.

Oh no I agree, but I don't think it honestly matters. RAM timings, and clock speed matter more than the amount if you actually have enough. That is especially true on Zen.
