Yeah i forgot to mention that. thanks for picking up my slack.

More cores > more heat > less speed per core to manage the heat.

Less cores > less overall heat > more speed per core.

Which is why, generally, a 5600 is better for gaming than a 5950.

the 3d cache chips throw a minor wrench into things though, as the extra and faster cache can help compensate for lower speeds, which makes the 5800x3d generally a better gaming chip than the 5600, despite lower speeds.
