All time low? Not sure how long it's been at this price for. Might be of interest for those on AM4 looking to upgrade.
CamelCamelCamel.
The cheaper 'Desktop Processor' is the 'AMD Ryzen 5 5600G'
Might as well get the 5700X for $299 and delivered from Amazon OZ (5800X) is to high clocked or too high power limit anyway https://www.amazon.com.au/AMD-Ryzen-5700X-16-Thread-Processo…
Or $269.75 with eBay Plus
Also, 5700X has a 65W TDP and runs cool whereas the 5800X is 110W and is one of the hottest Zen 3 CPUs. You can also simply overclock the 5700X so it matches the 5800X at a similar efficiency.
I have a 5700x and it pulled 110+ with ryzen master oc profiles. I had to under-volt it to bring it down to 65w
Exactly! I have a 3800x, looking to upgrade. Either 5700x or 5900x. Same power consumption, 5900x is much faster than 5800x. 5700x is slower than 5800x (but beat my current 3800 by 15% on average), but much less power consumption, less heat issue (mine is for an itx).
Not gonna invest in a dead platform so will wait till they release the next x3d however long to replace my 3700x and go with AM5
you already have though.
You can probably sell your 3700x for about half what this (or the 5700x) costs and get another few years out of your desktop and then jump onto zen 6.
Better off with Ryzen 5 7600 which is around 300$ on special
That’s only if you are building from scratch and you are already buying a MB.
It’s dumb to buy a brand new MB just because these close performing cpus are close in price too.
Not necessarily, people considering upgrading to 5800x probably owns an older AM4 cpu, which would benefit from the new AM5 platform
i had three x370 systems running ryzen 1700's. All three systems now have 5xxx parts (5600G, 5600X and 5700x).
two of the motherboards were bought upon ryzen release so to get this much of a boost this late in the lifecycle is great (those platforms were bought in 1H 2017 so 6.5 years later!).
Sure it doesn't have pcie gen4/5 but for a cheap drop in upgrade with 90% of the performance, it is a no brainer ESPECIALLY if you're on an older AM4 cpu. It makes less sense if you have a later CPU but still worth considering.
@butter: Yea nice, I held on to my 1700 until they finally released a bios update and went to the 5700x too. So stoked to get more life out of it for the relatively small cost. Ram is so dirt cheap I chucked 32gb in it too so I'm set for a couple of more years.
MATE… we’d benefit from a threadripper too. Are you going to pay for the motherboards for everyone? If not, cost difference for the cpu + MB adds up…
Beware of tdp when you do this
Owning 5800x for more than 2 years, it is indeed hot but with a little tuning you could run it at a much cooler temperature while still get 95% of its max performance.
The catch is the -0.1 cpu voltage offset , after this change cpu package power draw dropped to from 145w to 115w while running cinebench.
What Cinebench score do you get?
15302 for all cores in Cinebench R23
thats pretty low, try running pbo/curve optimiser and you should see well north of 16000
@butter: Not worth it, for extra 5% performance you'd add 40% more power and upgrade on the cooler.
I am running 5800x(-0.1v offset) with a $20 120mm air cooler without being thermal throttled.
How Does it compare to x3d version?
depends on your application
Allways a bit sketchy when they list its as "Prossesor" and a cheaper one thats "Desktop Processor"
