AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D Priced at $450, Mid-April Launch Pricing of Other New Chips Surface
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, the company's ambitious new 8-core/16-thread Socket AM4 processor that claims to match the Core i9-12900K "Alder Lake" in gaming performance, will launch at an MSRP of USD $449, according to prices of several upcoming AMD Ryzen processors leaked to the web. The 5800X3D is clocked lower than the 5800X, with 3.40 GHz base and 4.50 GHz boost frequencies, but the large 96 MB L3 cache from the 3D Vertical Cache memory, overcomes this.
The Ryzen 7 5700X is an interesting new 8-core/16-thread part. It's based on the "Vermeer" MCM just like the 5800X, and unlike the 5700G that's based on the "Cezanne" monolithic silicon. The 5700X is clocked at 3.40 GHz base, with 4.60 GHz boost, compared to the 3.80 GHz base and 4.70 GHz boost frequency of the 5800X. The Ryzen 7 5700X is launching at $299 MSRP, which implies that the company is cutting the MSRP of the Ryzen 5 5600X that originally occupied this price-point.
Update Mar 9th: Correction: the Ryzen 5 5500 is a 6-core/12-thread part.
Speaking of Ryzen 5, we see the introduction of the new Ryzen 5 5600 (non-X). This part, too, is based on the "Vermeer" MCM, just like the 5600X, but with reduced clock speeds. It ticks at 3.50 GHz base, with 4.40 GHz boost; compared to the 3.70 GHz base and 4.60 GHz boost frequency of the 5600X. AMD is pricing this part at $199 MSRP, making it the true successor to the Ryzen 5 3600. It's interesting to note here that AMD is launching the 5700X and 5600 despite stating that the "Cezanne" based 5600G and 5700G APUs succeed the 3600 and 3700X, respectively.
Yet another interesting part is the Ryzen 5 5500, which unlike its predecessor, the 3500, is seeing a wider retail-channel launch. This is a 6-core/12-thread part and 16 MB of L3 cache instead of 32 MB on the 5600 (X). At this point we don't know if the 5500 is based on the "Vermeer" MCM or the "Cezanne" monolithic die (with its iGPU disabled), given its L3 cache size. The chip is priced at $159, and AMD likely wants this to square off against the Core i3 "Alder Lake" quad-core parts.
Lastly, there are the Ryzen 5 4600G, Ryzen 5 4500, and Ryzen 3 4100. These three are very likely based on the "Zen 2" based "Renoir" monolithic silicon. Apparently AMD is sitting on heaps of them, and wants to flood the desktop market with them. From these the 4500 and 4100 come with the iGPU of the "Renoir" silicon disabled.
As for availability, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is expected to launch on April 20, 2022. We have no information on the launch dates of the other parts (although we expect them to be around that time).

Oof.
I smell DOA there.
5600 and 5700X are both great, altho I don't exactly see a point as to the latter - they could've just made boxed version of the 5800 ... ?
Also, give Prism w/ the 5700X or riot.
Maybe in my mental wishlist for now.
I'd take the 5800X 3D all day.
Guess i was wrong.
Aaanyway i'm getting the 5800X3D no matter what.
At least it's better than the previous refresh, with the 3x00X to 3x00XT, which was a very minimal change (+100 MHz and more mature process).
"AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, the company's ambitious new 8-core/16-thread Socket AM4 processor that claims to match the Core i9-12900K "Alder Lake" in gaming performance"
So i7-12700KF is just -2.5% slower at 720p vs 12900K (with even smaller difference in above resolutions, which i think is the target audience that will buy a $450 CPU) but will be at least +20% in multithreading apps like Cinenench and cost $400, so it has the same CPU+M/B price and is a new platform, so 5800X3D is DOA for consumers not already owning a AM4 M/B.
The same goes for $299 5700X vs 12600KF (5700X will be slower in both 720p gaming and multithreading apps like Cinenench). On the contrary 5600 at $199 is a good deal and competitive with 12400F if you take account the M/B cost.
Regarding 5500, probably is going to be competitive with 12100F in Cinenench but lose in 720p gaming (especially if it is Cezanne based - 5600X is nearly 16% faster vs 5600G and 5500 will be lower clocked and with disabled SMT while on the other hand 12100F is only -10% slower vs 12400F in 720p worst case scenario) so at -$40 vs 5600 doesn't look so good vs 12100F (-$70 vs 12400F)
4600G is interesting for those that want light IGP gaming (since logically it will have at least 4400G IGP specs 1.9GHz 7CUs)
4500 is uninteresting, it will be like a 10400F (127€ at Mindfactory) , maybe a little bit better at multithreading but slower in gaming and especially uninteresting the quad core 4400 since 10105F (79€ at Mindfactory) will have same multithreading but will be faster in gaming. In the previous leak there was also a quad core/thread athlon gold 4100GE which also is interesting for the target audience if the price is right (certainly not at $69)
It's a re alignment is all, they are more competitive , that's all.
I think this 5800X3d Cache is interesting ,I just don't game more than I work so I am still tempted by a 5900X
