5800x3D to get almost the best gaming CPU.
Benchmarks are showing the 5800X3D beating Zen 4 in a lot of games.
Watch the max speed / core that as it can skew the price/core in that a slower CPU will be allot cheaper / core than a faster CPU.
Comes out alright when solely considering the CPU price. But ddr5 is still basically double the price of ddr4 and the x670 motherboard prices are absurd. Paying over $550 to get a decent motherboard to hold a $515 CPU is just unreasonable.
Was planning on upgrading this gen but definitely holding off for the moment. They'll need a pretty strong showing from b650 to get me in.
The annoying thing for me is that the old 5000 prices have gone UP, as the 7000 appear..
I guess that the MB prices will fall as the 650 boards appear, but someone in AMD didn't think like someone who would actually be building a new machine, and allowed Intel to steal a march at the same time.
Still, I'm not planning on going AM5 till the Zen 6 probably - and a degree of maturity that currently seems to be missing.
BTW seems like you can undervolt via curve optimiser and keep all the gains via PBO2 at a lower temp - which is what AMD ought to have doing automatically.
Thankfully I was holding my upgrade for the rx 7000 series anyway, so I'll get to see what the b650 mobos look like price wise before buying. Just a bit worried that we won't see decent b650 boards for sub $300 with the pricing of x670.
Wasnt the MSRP supposed to be identical to last generation on the CPUs? If I remember correctly, the 5600x was about $420-440 while the 7600x is $515?
No, not for the 7000 series as they are more expensive than the 5000 series at launch.
Maybe just more of Australia getting screwed over? In USD they have the same msrp as last gen. I looked back and the 5600x was about $450-460 AUD on launch (w/ a cooler)

Or buy a i3 12100f for $150-$160, can use either ddr4 or ddr5 ram, ~2/3 of the performance at only ~1/3 the price.
Also, Zen 4 motherboards are super expensive.
What are peoples crystal balls saying about these on the Black Friday sales. Particularly I’m looking at the 5700x to upgrade from a 3700x and squeeze what I can out of my hardware for the next few years
personal opinion is it's not worth it, at least yet.
One could get a cheap ish b550m (~$150) like MSI B550m Pro-VDH WiFi, with 32G 3200c16 RAM (~$180) and 5800x3D to get almost the best gaming CPU.
and the gaming performance is no less than x670e + 32G DDR5 6000 + 7600x/7700x whilst being a lot cheaper. (and the productivity performance is less than b550m+5900x too)
You could argue that x670e have good future upgrade ability, though looking back at X370/B350/X470/B450, only MSI and some Asrock have good memory topology to support 3600+ memory speed, considering DDR5 memory topology is not quite there yet, I doubt if you get a x670e, it would still suit high speed memory 2 generation later, and your low speed DDR5 will be obsolete too.
