Comparing 3950x and 5800x at identical costs
Comparing 3950x and 5800x at identical costs
Hey there! It sounds like you're weighing your options carefully. For productivity tasks like coding and video editing, a 4K monitor is a great setup. If you're considering the RTX 3080 alongside a 3950X used for the same price as your current 5800X, it might be worth checking the performance differences. Let me know if you'd like more details! Cheers.
If you can fully use all 16 cores, the 3950X offers a stronger multithread performance. For those unsure, taking advantage of the additional 8 cores makes the 5800X a better choice. I prefer the 5800X myself because 8 cores are more than sufficient for most tasks and it performs better in most games. Edited November 6, 2020 by Stahlmann Corrected misinformation
