Price has dropped again ahead of Christmas
Not sure how this fares against 5800x overall
CamelCamelCamel.
For anyone debating this or the previously posted 5800X

Spoiler: in most cases the 5800X performs better, but not all.
Just sharing some feedback regarding why userbenchmark shouldn't be used as a reliable source of information:
https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/g2x49q/userbenchm…
That website is heavily criticised in the tech community, feel free to YouTube and/or Google for more insight
Thanks for the tip, I figured the ranking was baseless
Ok so followed the thread, check this one out:

The only thing userbenchmark is good at is search engine SEO and getting the top rank in Google. Their performance comparison is useless due to using a obscure algorithm and not real world applications.
If you have applications that will use more than 8 cores, the 3900XT will most likely be faster due to the 4 additional cores.
If you use applications that are mainly single threaded or support up to 8 cores the 5800X will be faster.
@shellshocked: They they sure do that.
Consider me properly chastised people.
The other thing that makes it hard is the fast that each core in the 5800X would be 30% or so faster due to IPC gains which is the astounding improvement.
So 1/3 less cores than the 3900XT, but they’re each able to perform more work
No worries.
To be fair, a lot of people aren't aware about the biased scores userbenchmark states.
I only found out through a WAN show stream on linustechtips youtube channel.
Why not use passmarks comparision function?

as mitchins says, 5800xt has stronger single threaded performance, whereas 3900xt takes overall perfomrance crown due to higher number of threads. Video/Audio production, rendering, go for 3900XT. Gaming, go for Ryzen 7
For a second I thought this was a 5900x, got mega excited. Need coffee.
I'll one up you. Actually ordered one thinking it was a 5900X. Realised my blunder 2 days later… Now I can send it back as soon as I get it. 🙄
On that note - Anyone know how's the returns process for items ordered from Amazon UK via AU? Should I initiate the return now or wait to receive it?
Don't understand why people are having issues in getting the 5600x, plenty of stock over at Umart where I did a walk in and picked one up in store (also available from their website). Also is the free Far Cry 6 AMD promo applicable to the 5600x?
Not in stock atm (as of now)
It seems that 5600x does not come with free game.
tbf, the 3600 did just as well as the 3900xt in single thread (gaming) I had/have both
but watching the ease that the 3900xt does the same thing is very impressive
I expect that the 5000 series chips work about the same way, and that they will all work slightly better than the 3000 series in single thread application
Thanks OP, was looking for this. Got one.
