www.amazon.com.au/AMD-Ryzen-7-5800X/dp/B0815XFSGK - Ryzen 5800X @ $380.32
www.amazon.com.au/promotion/psp/A4R68XV5FMLHQ - other eligible items @ 6% off

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X is an AM4 socket 8 core/16 thread CPU which runs at 3.8Ghz with 4.7GHz boost, 36MB cache and 105w draw. To some extent, it's reputation as a high performance thermal oven sees many preferring the 5700X (which runs marginally slower but much cooler), the 58003DX (worse mutli-thread performance but great for gamers or other single-threaders due to huge cache) and the 5900x or 5950x (superior multi-thread performance but expensive), but it occupies a healthy place in the Enthusiast-class middle ground and is a great value for money drop-in upgrade for many existing Zen, Zen+ or Zen2 owners or those looking for bang for buck Zen3 systems whilst early adopter pricing abates on the new AM5 platform.

Amazon US are currently running a "Buy 2, get 6% off" promo at www.amazon.com.au/promotion/psp/A2GQU4VR43P0HM, featuring a wide range of items, amongst them - the Ryzen 7 5800X - with a delivered price for a single unit of $380.32 after discount. To participate, you need to add one of the other eligible items, but even so, it's possible to land the 5800X plus one other trinket from $386.32 delivered in total. Whilst you can't sort the above list by price, you can you the filter at the bottom left of the page to only list items below $10, $20 or any other amount. The 5800X is also listed as eligible for the current AMD "Free Uncharted game promo" as shown as www.amd.com/en/gaming/ryzen-uncharted-bundle, but I can't personally verify so don't brand me with a flaming CPU if I'm wrong…

Cheapest eligible items (prices shown before 6% discount) I could find which didn't attract additional shipping charges currently include;
Paint defect remover for $6.37 - https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B00F7OR9QC.
French phrases for kids book $7.94 - https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/0486803619
Botanical Affirmations Colouring Book $8.19 - https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B089TRW7BZ
Pete the Cat book - $8.84 - https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/0062675214
Command Universal Picture Hanger - $13.85 https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B00404YRY2
Pentel EnerGel Alloy RT Gel Pen - $14.49 https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B0026ZPWZA

There's hundreds of other items to choose from if you want something genuinely useful, rather than just something that will see you spend less overall after the 6% discount. The items listed above didn't attract any shipping fee for me, but beware that some other items not listed, do. Delivery for me to Sydney was shown as November 1.

As always with Amazon, it could be available for a long time or a little, and you may have to tweak the "Sold by" filter if doesn't default to "Sold By Amazon US" for you. Personally, I'm waiting for a deal on the slightly lesser 5700X, but I believe this is the first time the faster 5800X has ever been listed under $400, so hopefully it suits someone's needs. Just beware, you will need to purchase or repurpose your own CPU cooler. And for the RGB'ers amongst you - it's available in any colour you like, so long as it's ceramic grey…

    Would this be a reasonable upgrade from a 7700k for primarily gaming?

    • +12

      The 5800X is a vastly superior CPU, but far from a drop in upgrade since it's a different platform. You need at least a new motherboard as well, plus a graphics card if you're using the 7700k's integrated graphics and DDR4 if your current board is only using/supporting DDR3.

      https://nanoreview.net/en/cpu-compare/intel-core-i7-7700k-vs…

      • Worth noting the 7700K uses DDR4, so that doesn't need to be factored in at least.

        • +2

          I thought that depended on the board it was paired with, and that some of the earlier compatible chipsets used DDR3?

          • +1

            @UncleRico: That's my bad, you are correct! A few Skylake motherboards support DDR3 and can be BIOS-updated for Kaby Lake processors. That does still seem to be a niche case, but it's a possibility.

    • +3

      Considering you would have to change mobo as well, probably not. Best to wait for the new gen to settle down with pricing, and the next gen 3D cache which is huge for gaming

    • Have you looked at a 12400F instead?

    • +2

      I have this cpu. It's great. Recommended.

      You should wait for 5800x3d to come down in price.

    • Yes, but there are other options too, which will boil down to your budget, as all options will require purchasing the whole platform (eg CPU+Motherboard+potentially RAM too, depending whether your current RAM is DDR4 and speed if you want to upgrade it too). What is your budget?

  • Was the best gaming CPU last year

    • +4

      Quite.

      I suspect that's part of the reason it's now available for sub-$400 rather than the $700 it was when launched…

      • +1

        It was always a $400 cpu, AMD was just price gauging.

        • +3

          Nonsense.

            • +1

              @dreamscene: That doesnt take into account 90% of other things that are factored in to the costs of getting it to you, such as:

              Covering the work and costs required to get distribution and partnerships
              R&D
              Setting up the manufacturing process
              The thousands of people's salary involved in making the product marketable
              Costs associated with supply chain disruptions and shortages
              Inflation
              Inflated costs to raw materials due to demand
              Shareholders

              And thats only just scratching the surface

              • @KnifeEnthusiastBoi: Yes, so should have been $399.99. Thus over priced from the get go because they could. Watch the 7000 series dump in price as no demand and people just wait.

                • @dreamscene: Oh dear.

                  I'd hazard a guess that the markup on the 5800X was actually smaller in percentage terms than more premium chips such as the 5950X or 5800X3D or Intels top of the line CPU's.

                  You do realise that labour, R&D, a cocophany of other fixed and variable costs go into calculating net profit margins, don't you? Likewise, you also understand that in most markets - notably technology - premium products will command a premium price in a bid to recoup development costs and capitalise on cutting edge product performance, but that this price will wane over time as technological developments see their cutting edge position superceded. I could buy plenty of products for half their launch price two years into their lifespan, but that doesn't mean the product was gauging because you didn't want to pay the launch price. I wouldn't have bought the 5800X at $700 either since I didn't need bleeding edge performance, but its sales history suggests that plenty who could afford it saw the value in it…

                • @dreamscene: "Watch the 7000 series dump in price"

                  Which CPU in the history of the world hasn't dropped price over time? Very specious reasoning…

            • +1

              @dreamscene: If it was just the bill of materials I would be making chips too. There's a massive amount of research, development and support that goes into chip production all of which is meat bag time.

              Same as why the bill of materials on an iThingy is about $200 but apple sell it for 10 times that.

  • Trinket?

    • +5

      I listed six of them and linked hundreds more.

      Can lead a horse to water…

      • +25

        But I am not a horse, am chikin

        • +2

          And you're welcome…

  • This question needs to be asked, I already have a 5600X, is it worth it getting the 5800X?

    • +13

      Nope. Very hard to justify.

      The 5600X is a great CPU. The 5800X is higher spec’ed but you’d barely notice it unless you’re a hardcore gamer, streamer or major multi-tasker.

      • you’d barely notice it unless you’re a hardcore gamer, streamer or major multi-tasker

        Even then, just not noticeable at all. You're looking at 1% higher average FPS, 3% better minimums, etc. Nothing a human could detect without benchmark software.

        No way that's a better use of the money than just saving it for some actual upgrade.

    • +1

      What do you use it for? I wouldnt recommend unless you are performance constrained. 5800x is also higher wattage.

    • Like the other person said, it won't make much of a difference. If you really wanted you could get the 3D vcache version of the 5800x when the price on it drops. It'll increase your 1% lows which should make for a more smoother experience. Bear in mind it's more aimed towards gaming and not intense productivity work as the clocks are lower, can still handle productivity tho.

    • +1

      For gaming, not really.

    • Nah wouldn't recommend, the only thing I'd even remotely suggest is if you find a cheap used 5800X3D maybe pick that up for a drop in upgrade and sell off your 5600X Otherwise look for an upgrade elsewhere :)

    • Only if you encode or do any kind of graphics rendering. Gaming doesnt need that higher output anywhere near compared to those tasks. So gaming for this upgrade is pointless

  • +1

    I'm running a 3700x at the moment (with an RTX 3080, 4k 144hz display). Would this be worth the upgrade? Would there be any noticeable FPS difference, or if the GPU still likely the bottleneck for the monitor?

    • -1

      A definite upgrade for you to extend the life of your system, but the 3080 will likely be the more pressing bottleneck for gaming. Only you can say if the $386 is justified in your use case, but there’s plenty of online links that will give you indicative FPS improvements for your setup.

    • +10

      Trinket +9 fps

    • Depends on the game.
      Averge game, no.
      Game with dips and poor 1% lows, yes but my how much depends on many factors.

      I paid less but similar amount for my 5600x less than a year ago. If you have a b450, worth considering, but so is a 5600 for a lot less.

    • +3

      no, one gen upgrade is a waste of money

      • But first gen 7000 series is a waste of money too. Lol.
        Next X3d versions will be worth it.

      • For CPUs these days, even 3 or 4 gens is too soon to be worth the time or money unless you're happy pouring money into those super high 1080p framerates.

        Each gen is like 5 to 15% gains.

        • I tend to upgrade every 2. I upgraded from Zen 1 to Zen 2 and Zen 3 because the pricing made sense and my X370 board was getting old. I think 3 is the sweet spot because you usually skip a platform if we're going with the old tick-tock roadmap model.

          Back in the day, this would take you from a mature to an early platform and back. Every two gives you a mature platform every time. It's also a good plan to usually stagger the upgrades so one year you upgrade the platform and the other you upgrade the GPU.

          • +2

            @TheFyrd: I used to upgrade every 2 gens, but as we've been nearing the limits of physics, CPU performance just isn't increasing that fast anymore.

            A good worthwhile upgrade is one big enough to get you 50% or 100% better performance, a real-world noticeable difference.

            Upgrade CPU every 2 gens these days and you're looking at only 10-30% improvement.

            A new GPU every gen, or every second gen, makes sense for hardcore enthusiasts with the cash.

            But CPU? Not anymore.

            • +1

              @GandalfTheCheap: Yeah agreed! The price creep has gotten pretty ridiculous as of late though especially in the GPU market.

              What does $1000 even buy you these days, we're looking at a $2000 MSRP for an 80 series GPU this year. I spent $760 for my GTX 780 way back in 2013 so in ~10 years the 80 class has over doubled, shit I bought multiple 780's, 780ti's and 980ti's, the prices were reasonable. I know it's not the same thing but compare that to say Monitors, purchased my X34 for $1400 in 2016. $1400 today still buys you an absolute beast, now given monitors haven't improved at the same rate as GPus but still, you compare the feature set and it's not even close.

              I always felt that CPU platform upgrades were reasonable current MB prices being what they are I wouldn't upgrade.

              If AMD and Nvidia can deliver in the sub $2k category this year then I think it's time to upgrade GPU, Monitor and give the CPUs a miss this gen.

    • +1

      you may need a new mobo if you're still on b450, worth noting not all b450 support zen3 .
      performance gain is approx 20%, not worth doing it.

    • +1

      If you also game at 4K, likely not worth it (as you mentioned gaming at 4K will be heavily GPU limited), unless maybe the 5800X3D.

  • Any suggestion of a good motherboard to pair with it?

    • +4

      Plenty of great value B550 based boards at under $150. X570 boards for $50+ more if you need more bells and whistles.

    • Probably the MSI B550-a pro. Although I just would keep an eye out for any sale on x570 or b550 board on sale that aligns with your budget, they're all pretty faultless.

    • +1

      Msi ASUS X570 tomahawk

  • The new intel 13000 series while more expensive are 32 threads one with apu, and the other with out, and it finally beats amd(excluding thread ripper), while including ddr4/5 with a variety of boards but has a huge power output that may turn people off.

    Sadly their arc gpu's are getting spat on.

    • +1

      Great hardware for the proice, if you already have an AMD mobo, that is a fair factor to change.

    The 5800X3D at this price (maybe in a year) and I'd grab it…

    You can also in a motherboard set the power mode to ECO and turn this into effectively a 5700X (65W)…

    • Yep - waiting for a good deal on the X3D as well.

  • +2

    Is this available in Amazon Turkey? I'm looking to get some big discounts.

  • Currently have a 3600x with a 3070 - not sure it's worth the upgrade?

    • +1

      1600x and 3070.. thinking the same ahah!

      Considering going AM5 but this may take up some slack!

      • +2

        Oh a 1600x .. apparently 30% speed increase for you. Not bad

    • +3

      At 1080P, yes, not much at 1440P and nothing at 4k.

      • Fair

      • +1

        Yep. But to be clear, you might be able to notice at 1080p, but still not "worth the upgrade" for most people.

        • +1

          ya True, selling the 3600 and buying a 5600 (not the 5800x) may not also be worth it for the extra 100 or so spent for many.

  • Do i need to change my 120m AIO cooler with this?

    • Probably. What is it cooling currently?

      • R3600

        • Borderline. The 3600 is a 65w chip compared to 105w for the 5800X.

          Most 120mm AIO's can handle 105w CPU's, but the 5800X is notoriously hot and you would likely experience some thermal throttling which would reduce performance, unless your 120mm is a premium model.

          • @UncleRico: I have undervolt my 5800x by 0.1V with offset mode, tdp is limited to 115w so my 120mm air cooler could easily cool this beast. , performance loss is approx 5% .

            • @yangmao: Have you checked out undervolting via the PBO2 power optimiser instead of static voltage offset? As static voltage offset actually can reduce performance.

              • @zrmx: Via bios , it does reduce performance but not much approx 5%, you save 30+w and cpu is running at much cooler temperatures , also saves your AIO if you don’t have it already

  • +2

    Just saying, 13600f cost around $520. If you are buying a new m/b as well, pay extra $140 is decent upgrade. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKItGRURxCg

  • Woth an upgrade for 3600x and a non super 2070? Or am i better off waiting for the 5800x3d to get a bit more cheaper?

    • It won't be much difference, BUT, factoring the price you could get selling the 3600X, the cost will be minimal so why not. Will you use 8 cores?
      I went 3600 non-X to 5600X w/ 3070 and I found it worth it, YMMV

  • I'm only here cause of the trinket

  • +2

    Would this make real world difference in gaming at 4k compared to a 6700k + 3080? from what I've seen of the 4k gaming benchmarks they all seem to be gpu limited at 4k res.
    When I upgraded from a 2500k 7yrs ago the 6700k hardly was a noticeable upgrade over it, like barely 5% increase at 1440p at the time, I felt so ripped off, definitely wasn't worth the $800 upgrade with the mb/ram/cpu (I guess i got more usb 3 ports with the new mb)

    • Depends on what games and settings, but overall I would expect a big increase. The best way to tell is by putting Task Manager up on a second screen and watch the GPU utilization while in game. The further away from 100%, the bigger the potential increase.

    • Max 20 or 30% more 1080p performance, but still no major improvement at 4k. Maybe some better feeling of smoothness due to fewer 1% lows.

      Not worth replacing mobo and CPU for IMO. If you are feeling the itch, at least wait a few more weeks for some good deals to appear on the new Intel 13 series and AMD 7000 series.

      • Looks like the 4090 is the only way to get real performance upgrade…yea…a $3300 gpu.

        Damn this itch though!

  • Currently running a Ryzen 7 1700 and a GTX 1070 @ 1440p… the latter is definitely due for an upgrade, but is it worth upgrading the CPU yet? I feel I'm going to squeeze the most from this board by upgrading the CPU and giving AM5 a few years to mature, but unsure if it's at all justifiable to do so before the GPU. Still waiting on those prices to come down/4000 series to drop and change the market a bit. Thoughts?

    • +2

      i think i would pull the triger if I were you. consider it is just a drop in upgrade (bios update first ofc). this price is just too good to miss out. even thou GPU is the one does the heavy lifting there, and meanwhile waiting for AMD new gen coming out.
      I have 5600x so i am skipping this 7000gen for sure. i think it is an wise decision.

  • +1

    Man bought the 5900x like 8 months ago for $600~.

    This is such good value

    • I thought so, but yours is definitely the better CPU, so don't lose any sleep.

      How you been KEB? Stumbled on any nice blades lately?

      • +1

        good man, not much really. I think inflation has kind of made it hard, and people becoming more knowledgable about knives making it so that theres not a lot of "great" deals.

        Now its just waiting for lines of knives to get replaced and go on clearance, which doesnt happen often…

        Maybe kitchen warehouse will catch on that the market is really small for the yaxell sg2 series…

        • Yeah, I was surprised they’ve changed focus from the Zen range to the higher priced Ran Plus and SG2 ranges. Must be some good margin in them, because they’ve really shrunk the amount of potential buyers by increasing the buy-in price so significantly.

          On the plus side, it’s discouraged me from growing my unnecessary Japanese knife portfolio any further. Once I get over my current PC building fad, the budget may dictate that I return to Hanayama puzzles…

          • @UncleRico: definitely the margins are higher for the SG2 line. IMO the SG2 steels should not cost that much more than VG10, definitely not the price they're asking for.

            You can buy Aogami Blue #2 artisan made knives for around $300 now, but they aren't "deals" which is why I dont post them here

    • Hell I paid 700 for the 5800x around 2 years ago.
      I mean I knew I was being ripped off and had no choice since my old mobo had died, but still.

      • +1

        Don’t be too hard on yourself. It’s depreciated by around 40cents a day over the time you’ve owned and have presumably been using it, and will be capable of serving you well for many years to come.

        I’d reckon that's a pretty good investment for something that is only now starting to be matched or bettered by other offerings. Think of how much less pron and Linux distro’s you would have downloaded with a slower CPU over all that time…

        • +1

          Yep, feel a bit the same about buying a 3060 ti in august, sure prices have gone down, but having more than a Vega 8 the last two months has been incredibly useful

  • Which system is better for production
    AMD Ryzen 7 5800X Or Intel i7 12700 paired with b660?

    • +2

      Someone mentioned above got 13600f for $459, that’s a much bigger upgrade even you are still using ddr4.

    • Probably the i7 in both single or multi threaded cases, but at far higher power consumption.
      If it's a multi threaded use case I myself would still prefer the 5800x.

      • 13600 totally destroys 7700x with lowered temperatures. And 7700x totally destroys 5800x. 13600 and 5800x not even in the same league. If you say 13600 need far higher watt (only slightly over 7700x), but fps per watt 13600 beat 7700x by huge amount. We are saying 7700x, not weaker 5800x.

      • 12700 runs @ 65w on E cores and P-cores work with higher performance tasks. Also, you can restrict max power usage to 180w in MSI mb

      • https://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/intel-core-i5-13600k-r…
        13600 and 5800x performance is night and day, power consumption just slightly more. FPS/watts? 13600 destroy 5800x

        • 13th gen vs 7000 series is the comparison to make if we talking latest gen.

          Although I would also say this is one of the more favourable comparisons I've seen between 13th gen and 5000 series.

  • +1

    I bought a 5600x about 7 months ago for this price……. I still haven’t really upgraded my graphics card so I wish I held on for this upgrade. Oh well.
