As we mentioned before the immediate downside to the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, even when compared to the vanilla 5800X, is that AMD have taken away any multiplier or voltage overclocking, there is no regular Precision Boost Overdrive either, just PBO2, and the Infinity Fabric is tied to the DDR4 speed, so bring your fastest kit. It’s not a processor aimed at anything but gaming, but we’ll stick rush through our main CPU tests first before finding out if the Ryzen 7 5800X3D does what is claimed.
