AMD Readies Ryzen 5 5600X3D to Take on Intel's 13th Gen Core i5 + DDR4 Options

Yeah, I've got a 2700x/470x system I'm trying to upgrade and I don't have the money for AM5 right now, so a 5800x3d would be a good stop gap and the 5600x3d being released might prevent that price from coming down more perhaps, we'll see though.

I did it 1 week back. From 2700X to 5800X3D, same as you, with a x470 Gigabyte motherboard. I had the standard spire cooler, which was enough for the 2700X, but not for the 5800X3D. In case you don't have a decent cooling, I would advise you to invest in it. I got a Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 and I am more than happy with it.
 
People just don't realize how valuable socket compatibility is these days! Sure we have everyone's favorite villain JHH, but IMO what Intel has done over the last 15-16 years is absolutely horrendous. They only needed 2 or maybe 3 major platform updates with DDR3/4/5 there was absof***inlutely no reason for you to have so many sockets/motherboards for such similar chips!

Any time Intel mentions the environment or "eco friendly" packaging they should be slapped a hundred times reminding of their stupid games with unnecessary motherboard/socket updates :rolleyes:

The cpu market is in a good place. There are good options for budget builds. Gpu market not so much

I dont know, only a few years ago the top gaming CPUs cost $300 and their boards did not cost more than the CPU. Now they run $450.

Inflation happens. The difference is how much GPU's are out pacing inflation.
In 2015, the top selling CPU according to Newegg Business was the 4790k for $310. $310 in 2015 is worth approximately $385 in 2023.
Today in 2023, one can buy a 5800x3d for ~$320. This may not be the best available gaming CPU but it is VERY close. Newegg's page shows the best selling CPU right now as the 5700x which is on sale today for ~$200.
The 7800x3d is better than the 5800x3d and costs $449.
$385 to $449 16% higher than average inflation but I don't think that is a fair comparison. You can buy a great gaming CPU like the 5800x3d for cheaper, in terms of inflation, than you could with the 4790k in 2015.


Although it is not an up to date graphic on GPU prices, I think it makes my point with far less typing.

While I would love this CPU for my current setup wouldn't it make more sense to make a 7600x3d then this? I mean I just may upgrade at that point.

AM5 motherboards are super expensive. AMD is trying to compete with intel as a lower price range than they probably want for the 7600x3d.

Entry level B650 is $120, good B650 like the Gigabyte DS3H are $150. I guess if you're used to scraping the bottom below $100 then $150 is "super expensive."
 
I bought for the first time in my life (in 40 years of computing) an AMD processor, a 5950x that I mounted on an x570 motherboard just a year and a half ago. It is excluded for me to renew this material before at least another 5 years, unless AMD offers me a CPU Zen 4 or Zen 5 for AM4 platform which is more powerful than my 5950x, like a 24 cores or more with AVX- 512. In such a case I would gladly upgrade my current CPU, like a lot of other people I imagine…
 
5600X3D is enough for ALL processing needs for 99% of gamers. It is only the ~1% that might (feel they) need the very highest FPS.
This is amazing news really, to be able to have a gaming-specific processor like that for such a low price.
5600X3D + something like Radeon 6800 and 16GB DDR4 sounds like the most affordable high end gaming machine.
 
If it's priced right I might just get one for my HTPC.
 
To be honest i feel like this is a bit too late, Most folks i know that have AM4 with Ryzen 2000/3000 series have already upgraded to the likes of the 5700X or 5800X3D which already have gotten heavy discounts. The 12600K while a generation old is still within around 5% of the 5800X3D according to the most recent TPU gaming benchmarks but is faster in applications and goes for around $200.

While i am happy that AM4 is still getting life and demonstrates that platform longevity is important, they are releasing this very late and for $200 i think the 12600k or 5700X will be the better choice for an all rounder in comparison to the 5600X3D.

According to AMD 17 million AM4 CPUs have been sold I am sure there are still plenty of users that will buy this. In Canada the 5800X3D is still $400. Even if it is released at $299 CAD it will sell well. But I expect $279 CAD.

I haven't looked at AM5 boards. What makes that DS3H good for B650?
