You would think I would be safe cutting and pasting from pcbyte description!
Yes. But you do trade a lot of stuff for it, like only half the L3 cache compared to an actual vermeer 5700x
As per the usual, Im here to preach to the choir and anyone unsuspecting enough of these chips, they are good for a dgpu less setup, say a plex or something. But if you are looking for an upgrade for gaming or any resource intensive workloads better go with the 5700x in this deal for just a tiny bit more. These are not actual desktop chips but really laptop chips binned for AM4, you get only half the l3 cache no pcie 4.0 support, slower clocks and everything in between.
I totally would have bought this for my gaming rig had I not read your comment.
Thank you.
I bought one cause gpu’s were expensive at the time, it also uses more watts than a 5700x
PCIE 3 only
The recent 5600G for $189 deal was a scorcher.

This is a better CPU but worse value.
Yes I need a 5600G, unfortunately didn't need it when that deal was live.
Almost guaranteed Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals coming up will have 5000 series CPUs on deep discount
How exactly do you define an "almost guarantee"?
guarantee to almost be on sale for Black Friday/Cyber Monday
Gotcha. It's Ozbargain's perfect oxymoron!
@UncleRico: or I am just a ozbargin moron,
@Rod M: If you've got a failing, Rod - it's that sometimes you can be too hard on yourself.
"If"…
That my friend will be revealed around the time of Black Friday/Cyber Monday!
