It shares the same high TDP as the 5900x/5950X (the 5600X is lower) and features a single CCD meaning no latency issues as there isn't a second CCD to communicate with. All 8 cores on the CCD are active so it will run a little hotter than other models in the range as all the heat generation is within a single CCD, so make sure you're using a good cooler to get maximum performance.
If you enable Precision Boost Overdrive, you can get additional 'free' performance as long as your cooler is able to cool effectively. Without any effort in 'traditional' overclocking methods I find this easily boosts to 4.6Ghz under heavy, all-core multithreaded loads and over 5Ghz on low single-core loads.
I have been using a Noctua NH-D15S (single fan) cooler with Noctua NH-T1 thermal paste and it idles at 28-32C depending on room temperature, and running Cinebench R23 multi-threaded benchmark it reaches around 80-82C which is completely within expectations. A second fan added to the Noctua cooler would likely shave 1-2C off this. I'm going to be swapping to a NZXT Kraken X63 soon but I don't expect I'll get more than a few degrees lower than what the the Noctua cooler can achieve.
Overall I think this is a great processor if you don't NEED more than 8 cores (and few do), it's probably overkill if you're just gaming (have a look at the 5600X if all you do is game).
AMD have designed a really high performance, but clever processor that adapts to the use and tries to boost automatically to give you the best performance regardless of whether you're using just one core right up to full 8-core workloads.
