First time poster so go easy on me.

Good price for the 5900X though not the all time low of $499. Perhaps a further price drop due to 7900X3D and 7950X3D release.

    Slightly cheaper with the $50 off eBay Plus code (a few sellers to choose from). Good price for a used one there too at just over $400.

    This or a i5 13600k..

      This or an apple pie…?

      EDIT: lot of apple pie haters here

      For both gaming and productivity work the i5 13600k fairly consistently beats the 5900X (between a "little" to "some"), with the downside that the i5 will draw more power at max load. I'd be inclined to think the i5 will draw less power doing basic tasks with the efficient cores, but haven't seen any tests to confirm this so its just speculation.

      13600KF is cheaper and faster, although motherboard cost will make it even-ish because AM4 motherboards are cheaper.

      If worried about power draw (per other comment) and willing to change BIOS settings, you should be able to set power limits that will make power consumption similar, but the 13600K(F) will still be faster in single-threaded performance even if power-limited like this (i.e. faster in most games). I would expect multi-threaded performance between the two to be roughly in the same ballpark if you do that (e.g. 13900K power limited vs 5950X stock, bearing in mind that obviously the 13900K is faster than a 13600K: https://www.pcworld.com/article/1359352/cool-down-a-deep-div… ).

      The E-cores are not substantially more power efficient, they're primarily die-space efficient, allowing multiple E-cores to fit in a section of the CPU that would traditionally house only a single P-core. Hence why a 6+8 core 13600K(F) is competing against 8 cores in current-gen Ryzen 7000, or 12 cores in previous-gen Ryzen 5000.

        Yea i have a amd setup now. Replacing the cpu with this will cost me around $320.. keeping a board with ddr4 and not ddr5. If i go intel it will cost me $310 still on ddr4 or else $520 when moving from my ddr4 3600 to ddr5 5600.. but not sure if the extra cash provides real value.

        I am a Intel fanboy and tried amd.. not bad but just think intel might me consistent.. just like jumping from my older 6700xt to 3070ti.. same kind of performance but again, green beats red with other things like nvidia dedicated streaming chip etc.
        Never care about power consumption 😀

          To move from DDR4 to DDR5 would not provide $200 of extra performance, however your 13600k will also not perform as fast as the benchmark if you use DDR4. Even so, the 13600k will still perform better.

          The difference between an AMD and Intel CPU should not be noticeable, apart from performance, support for AMD CPUs is basically equivalent. It is in the industry's interest to support AMD, at the high end they are the market leader.

          It's not the same as support for AMD GPUs vs Nvidia GPUs - AMD will always - always be behind, as they simply do not invest in software support and partnerships to the extent Nvidia does. I expect they will be eventually overtaken by Intel in market share for this reason (meanwhile a lot of people still believe Intel is about to stop making GPUs based on a discredited 6 months old rumour)

    Now i just need to find the cheapest video card there is to replace 3400g for similar graphics….any ideas anyone?

  • Ulysses31 on 31/01/2023 - 19:56

    $549 at MSY, JW, PCByte, UMART with a copy of Company Of Heroes 3 (current value $99.95)

    Might be better for some people. Guessing it can be sold.
