Dell offers the ability to equip its Alienware Aurora R10 Ryzen Edition, a pre-assembled PC, with the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 and Ryzen 9 5900. The configuration is $ 120 cheaper than the Ryzen 7 5800X, while the Ryzen 9 5900 would be about $ 80 less with the same cores, the same cache, and a 100 MHz lower turbo frequency.
The news focuses on a rare AMD processor, that is, a chip that seems to have no shortage and that can be configured in OEM PCs for gaming. Dell is the one who offers this configuration in its Alienware Aurora R10, characterized by being $ 120 cheaper than the Ryzen 7 5800X, so we wonder what its gaming performance will be.

In principle, the news was going to be based solely on the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 that appears as an option in Dell Canada when configuring your Alienware Aurora R10 Ryzen Edition. However, researching on this website, we have seen that it is also possible to configure a Ryzen 9 5900, which is $ 100 Canadian cheaper than the 5900X.
AMD has not said anything about versions without "X" for the desktop, and it seems that these Ryzen processors will only be for pre-assembled PCs from brands such as Dell, MSI, ASUS, GIGABYTE, etc. Apparently, both the Ryzen 7 and the Ryzen 9 have the same specifications as the "X" versions, except for the turbo frequency and TDP.
Leaving aside the price of each Alienware equipment, we find it curious how there can be a difference of 80 and 120 US dollars between each option. The key is FPS performance or to take out these CPUs as the source ensures that come with a TDP of 65 W, which means that does not require a kit liquid cooling AIO.
Last month the frequencies of this AMD Ryzen 7 5800 were leaked, which could exceed those of the 5800X using AMD Precision Boost Overdrive. Even the tests of this chip were seen in Cinebench R20 and R23, in which the Ryzen 7 5800X was scored higher. About the Ryzen 9 5900, we have no information at the moment.
Therefore, we understand that these processors would have worse gaming performance than the "X" versions, but, how much difference to pay $ 80 or $ 120 more? Actually, it is worth considering because it is a lot of money between 2 processors that have the same cores, threads, cache, and very similar frequencies.

Another question we ask ourselves is whether these chips will make it to the consumer market. It seems not, according to the source, being exclusive options for the OEM market, although no one confirms it firmly.
The big difference would be the TDP, which would set the standard in terms of performance, but would offer a very interesting performance per watt. The specifications of each chip would be as follows.

Do you consider that the performance of these chips will be much lower? Is it worth spending more?
