PCPartPicker has it at $419 + shipping from a number of retailers. Is this the one to get rather than the 5800x3d for AM4 holdouts like me?

We don't quite have reviews for it yet, but since it is just a worse binned 5800x3d, yeah I think it is the one to get over the 5800x3d.
It's around 10% cheaper for apparently 10% less performance, so about in line for what it is. IMO the 5700X3D would be the one to get, because you can probably over clock it a little if you really need the 5800X3D speeds.
The X3D chips don't take well to overclock because the 3D cache serves as a thermal insulator and block heat dispersion (that's why their core temps are so high despite being a 105W TDP part), and you don't really want to overclock these anyway because they're chips that failed to run at 5800X3D stock speed stably, and they're now selling it off as a lower end part rather than throw it away.
I’ll wait for a sale price around $350 and I’m onboard. $419 seems a straight conversion of the $US249 + GST retail price.
It is worth getting compared to a 386. Is it work getting compared to a AMD Ryzen 7 5700X then it depends on what you are using it for.
If we could get one for around 300 it would be great but to much for now.
We'll need to see benchmarks first but it is likely to be a decent buy with the difference in price with the 5800x3d. Obviously, wait for a sale.
I upgraded to a 5700x around this time last year it cost me $277, if i sold it now i would probably only get like $100, as much as i would like to upgrade i might skip the 5700X3D and aim for Zen 5 and do a whole system upgrade.
You'd be looking at about $220. The new CPU price hasn't changed too much and still hovers around what you paid new
Eeh. The 5800X3D is a really poor value currently since its been basically the same price as launch, whereas the 7800X3D has dropped down by a lot (as well as the AM5 platform in general). With the current $70 price gap between the 5800X3D and 7800X3D, I find it really hard to justify the 5800X3D over just flipping your whole platform and moving over to AM5 (~$350 for mobo and RAM).
The 5700X3D being $100 cheaper makes it a more interesting option. The clockspeed gap doesn't matter too much in practice, since the performance gain of the CPU comes from the 96mb L3 cache, especially in games like BG3/WoW/FF14/Stellaris/etc… Main thing though is that the 5800X3D was on sale last year multiple time for ~$460, which makes this only $30 cheaper for 10% less performance in games that don't benefit much from the L3 cache. Would be an instant buy if it was $70 cheaper, but at $425 unless you really need an AM4 CPU I'd wait to snag the 7800X3D + AM5 on sale
FYI, this is already dropping in price. A few vendors have it for $400 now - https://www.jw.com.au/product/amd-ryzen-7-5700x-3d-4-10ghz-8…
At $350 it'll be a killer final upgrade to an AM4 gaming rig.
I'm quite surprised the prices are being slashed this early, maybe they're not selling as well as they'd hope. I'm holding off until WoW Classic Cataclysm has a finalized launch date to upgrade, so I was going to just get the 7800X3D (hopefully with it or the rest of the platform on sale or another price cut), but the 5700X3D at $350 would make me seriously consider.
according to hardware unboxed, its 20% cheaper at a 7% loss of performance, So Yes
Probably have to wait for a review that compares it with the 5800x3d. On paper it should be a better deal, but the 5800x3d has been as cheap as ~$440 previously.
I am going to wait for Zen 5.
