Adding in the cost differential and the 5800X is definitely the better value for roughly the same performance. When I priced parts out, the cheapest 7600x setup was nearly $300 more expensive than the 5800x.

Well, some of the highlighted results should be re-checked. L2 Cache = 1MB per Core is worse than 512kb? But 95° is better than 90°?

I think it’s because of the 8 core that is 512kb is better.

Random dude, actually for the 5800x it's 512kb*8=4mb vs 7600x which is 1mb*6=6mb.
