Awsome price for 5800x. grab it before its gone.
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, 8-Core/16 Threads, Max Freq 4.7GHz, 36MB Cache Socket AM4 105W, without cooler
CamelCamelCamel.
You also need DDR5 Ram… :) but at this stage with cheap 7500F and 7600 CPUs.. the upgrade to AM5 isnt too bad but worth it over AM4 for future upgrades
Not much of a deal when the 5700X is $239 and AU stock on Amazon, and the 5700x3d is regularly $220-230 from aliexpress.
Get a 5800x3d at a minimum at this point. 7800x3d if you can. Or better yet wait for new Intel arrow lake and/or 9000x3d chips
Arrow late you said?
At how overpriced the 9600x and 9700x are for 5% pump.. the 9800X3D will be crazy overpriced for mayve a 5 to 15% jump in FPS over a 7800X3D
Awsome price for 5800x
In 2021, possibly
7700’s on aliexpress were $280-290 delivered in the recent sale
For gaming you'd be better off getting for a 5700X3D at around $225 from one of the Aliexpress deals.
Maybe for productivity this would make sense.
Still waiting for a sub $400 5950X
I bought one of those 5700x3d not long ago. Would I have been better buying this ?
100% NO the 5700x3d & 5800x3d (5% better) are the best thing on AM4.. end of life best CPU. (For gaming)
No, only small increase of workload performance. But when it comes to gaming 5700x3d mile ahead 5800x.
I'd prefer to spend the extra $70 (roughly) on the 5700X3D.
Even if you're not a gamer, that 3D Vcache really helps with video encoding, RAW image processing, large Excel calculations, LLM scraping, etc.
Basically near all of the 'other' tasks someone whos shopping for a high end CPU might be doing.
The lower clockspeed of the X3D CPUs reduces performance in most non-gaming tasks (including video encoding, at least for most formats). I don't know about spreadsheet calculations, but AI stuff is one of the outliers where extra cache may help more than higher clockspeed.
Generally the opposite of your conclusion is true: unless you know your specific non-gaming workload benefits more from extra cache than extra clockspeed, you should avoid the X3D CPUs. The things you've suggested seem to more often than not fall toward the X3D, but that's not the case for a lot of user's workloads.
$300 for a 4 year old cpu? Even if you still had an AM4 mobo just sell it and get a 7500f.
