Ryzen 7 5800X3D currently £295 on Amazon

That's the cheapest I have seen it, if anyone wants to get the most out of their AM4 system.

Nice find!

.97 price tag suggests its been discontinued, if that matters to anyone.

Got mine, installed currently sitting at 48 degrees whilst using chrome to post this. Which isn't bad, idles are said to be around 50, I have run a few games and on the initial loading it goes up to 85 max before dropping down to the 60s. I've decided to wait for 2nd gen AM5.

Just ran 3dMark Timespy,

Old score
5600x/3080 - 15658 (graphics 18604, CPU 8253)

New score
5800X3D/3080 - 17091 (graphics 18881, CPU 11119)

Didn't think the lower boosting 5800 would be that much higher on this test.

Hmmm I have 5600/3070 and when the 5800X3D came out I did think I would pick one up when they got cheap... But I don't seem to have any problems.

Did you feel CPU limited or just fancied a boost?

[FourWheelDrift]

Just fancied a change and keep it longer until Zen 5 and a more mature platform.

Any chance the CPU benchmark is multithreaded? It has gone up by ~34% and you've added 1/3 more cores.

I went from a 3600 to a 5700x, I paid £160 for it because of a voucher. The 5800x3d was £330 at the time.
I'm thinking the same as you about getting into am5 once the 2nd gen is released.
Card is a 6800.

Down to £280 at the moment, price is fluctuating many times each day, between £280 low and £313 high depending on stock.

There must be an element of number of cores factored into the score .. You went from 6 to 8 but that's a big boost. Obviously that humongous L3 doing its job


I did a timespy run on my 'big' box as I got a new 4070, my CPU is 5900x (12 cores).. got 13222 when testing with my 3070 and then on the 4070 run it gave me 12800?? Seems to be a bit inconsistent. For comparison, the 5900x is essentially 2x 5600x on the same die.

(FPU was 13027 on 3070 and 17792 on 4070)

I need to retire my 4770k that I've had at 4.5ghz for years as it's showing it's age with my 2080ti.

I was really tempted by the 5800x3d as a cheaper build but with the 7600x, DDR5 and an upgrade path I think it might be the better move to buy into the future, spending more now

Yeah, the 5800X3D is a fantastic chip for anyone with an existing older AM4 system but a dead end for newbuilds. (Current Intel generation is also end-of-line as regards future motherboards/chips)

AM5 would be the way to go. I think it has 3 years at least guaranteed life.
