AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D Desktop Processor (8-core/16-thread, 96MB L3 cache, up to 4.5 GHz max boost) £328.15 at Amazon

7800X3D out next month I would wait as the price will most likely drop more.

Do not bother with the 7950X3D if all you want to do is game as the 7950X3D has 8 X3D cores and 8 normal cores, it has the exact same X3D cache and the rest of the cache is just for those other 8 normal cores. It can also only hit 5ghz on it's X3D cores like the 7800X3D, the 5.7 number they post is just a single normal core, it cannot even boost all the normal cores to 5.7..... Just poor AMD marketing that will bite them in the bum come the reviews from proper tech people and not the Youtube shills.

Most likely in gaming the 7800X3D will have less stuttering as it wont have the sync issues that comes with two chiplets.

Worth an upgrade from a 3950x?, I realise it has more cores but I mainly game using my pc for gaming so won't notice much difference. I game at 3440 x 1440 with a 4080. Monitor is 200hz.

I'm not sure if this is allowed, but I bought this listing on ebay instead:

ebay.co.uk/itm…8YQ


Worked out to be £282.97 with a fee free credit card.


Worth a punt!

i think its still a rip off price personally. I paid this much with unchartered 3 bundle, i think i've been swindled its not as good as they say. Should have stuck to my 3600x.

Just bought this last week for like 350. Can’t complain about the ability of it at all. Although i would say if you are gaming this is great but if for production work the 5900x would be better. AND get / use PBO2 and undervolt. This is one hot puppy and undervolting will not only cool it but allow clocks speeds to get nearer the 4.5ghz boost target (edited)

£312.35 now......every little helps. Possibly time to bite for me. Assume i need to buy some thermal paste? Know my 5600x came with some.

Would rather get the 5700x for just under £200. Just as much multi core perf, and a lot of the gaming perf. Yes, you get a ton more gaming perf with this but you have to ask yourself is the extra £140 or so really worth it for a now dead end platform? (edited)

£323.75 now, been going down few quid over last few days. Not sure if to bite now or wait and see how low it goes but risk it going back up too lol (edited)

Ordered @ £310.65 (and some NT-H1 paste too)

With a 3060Ti at 1080p 144hz , would this be an improvement over my 3700x ?

Worth to swap for my 5900x? Paired with 2070super on ultra wide 34 inch monitor, 3440x1440 res?

Nice high end gaming CPU, the problem is that the GPU prices are completely insane.

Nvidia really should be in court at this point... (edited)

Price has now reduced. Edit: See replies below - £313.20 now (edited)

Glad I bought the ebay one at £280 odd, now let's see if it arrives! haha (edited)
