Two 5800X Questions

Post by richieadam » 2021-10-01, 16:44:52

Hi I have two quick 5800x questions

I'm leaning towards it because of its position in the AMD hierarchy.

Is this a good choice?

I don't care about wasting $20-40 to get a CPU that's a little faster than another while also being less cost effective.

I'm doing gaming with a teensy bit of production but don't really care about how fast the production goes.

And I don't like the high thermals of Intel's 11th gen CPUs (they are pretty high right?).

Any reason not to go with the 5800X?

Also with AMD's Ryzen 5000 CPUs do we have to worry about mobos deceptively changing the conditions under which the CPU operates to boost performance as mentioned in these two videos (the whole PL1 Pl2 Tau thing)?
