    Is there any reason why this would perform worse than a 7700X in productivity tasks (video editing/photshop)?

    "The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is amazing at gaming, but it struggles elsewhere. For instance, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is most directly comparable to AMD's similar 7700X, but the latter has a 400 MHz higher boost clock than the 7800X3D's 5.0 GHz. As a result, the Ryzen 7 7700X is 7% faster than the 7800X3D in our cumulative measure of threaded applications and 15% faster in single-threaded work."

    Good price but PCIE support only limited to 2 M2 slots. Not a big thing but find the whole 650/650E/670/670E a bit of a mess. (edited)

    Amazon are price matching it seems

    If it helps, if you already have PC Game Pass, Starfield will be included on day one.
    inkyas's avatar
    Woohoo did not know that!! And I only just bumped my GamePass Ultimate up to Dec 2025!

    Warning to check soc voltages with this cpu. Update your bios to the latest version
  7. NotToast's avatar
    typical i just bought this a week ago for 405 ... sigh
    Madmonk600's avatar
    Same here, and it's sitting in the socket unused while I wait for a few more bits to arrive, and time to finish assembling it all. That's life.

    This guy is an example of what happens when you go full Intel fanboy and never manage to get out of it. Basically the youtuber version of userbenchmark, he's a grifter who tries to sell his "tunings" to his gullible viewers.

    HIs "AmDip" bs was debunked in enthusiast circles years ago as being the result of his own inept OCing where he most likely messed up the fabric and memory sync or used bad memory timings.
  9. Minstadave's avatar
    Really decent price with the game included.
  10. Somersett's avatar
    It's fast- yeah, but dating quickly as Zen 5 approaches. This is a LOT of money for an 8-core part that will not be spectacular by the end of 2024. And check CPU pricing history over the last five years. New models from both major players hit far more frequently than new GPUs, and prices of previous gen CPUs fall like a stone.
    fishmaster's avatar
    Plus we're about to get a financial whipping in 2024 so technology is going to struggle further to make the sales. The signs are already there, people are offloading cars, possessions to make some roam for the incoming doom.

    "Any room for optimism? It’s easy to be pessimistic about the state of the UK economy. The rise in interest rates and the prospect of falling house prices are definitely very real problems affecting the economy right now. If we try to end on a more optimistic note, inflation is still set to fall towards the end of the year, helped by falling petrol and energy prices. The effect of previous interest rate rises have not been fully felt and once they do start to reduce spending, the fall in inflation could be accelerated. This will hopefully reduce pressure on increasing rates. The mortgage market is currently highly volatile, but if the next inflation figures were better than expected, sentiment on rates could change. This may sound like clutching at straws, but it may prove interest rates of 5-6% are unsustainable given so many have become accustomed to low rates. But, whatever happens, to demand, it doesn’t alter the long-term problems of low investment and low productivity, which will not be helped by the current problems."

    What does this mean? It just means if you don't need it don't buy it until you do need it. CPU prices on all current generations are destined to fall and follow a steady declination in pricing over the rest of this year. (edited)

    Just ring up they happily refunded the £10.01. very nice customer service. I'll definitely use them again. (edited)
    lemming3k's avatar
    Nice to see a company with some vision seeing as it could be returned and purchased at the new price so this way it's a win all round. They'll get more business from it as well.
  12. James_Emanuelli's avatar
    Oooo that's nice
  13. haychey's avatar
    Collecting today, thanks
  14. The.Fat.Cat's avatar
    Very nice price.
    CeX sell it for £370, wonder if they'll drop it at all? Probably not, lol.
    Eulaca's avatar
    Cex are selling the 7900x3d for £360
  15. jungleboy123's avatar
    Would have pulled the trigger if it was coming with starfield premium. A standard RX 6700 GPU gets premium starfield, i dont get it lol.
  16. Eye-Will's avatar
    You beat me to listing it. I was so excited at the price drop with the game I had to complete my order.
    I've got bits from everywhere, but had PSU, M.2 and Ram on Scan with a few prospective motherboards in their basket.
    I also had the 7800xm3 in my Amazon basket for £405 with Starfield and the price went up by £9 this afternoon. I was just checking the Scan price for everything again and saw the deal with Starfield. Yippee!!!
    It's quite sad that I got annoyed at Amazon putting the price up by so little and so overjoyed at Scan dropping theirs and including the game, considering that I have Game Pass Ultimate and I can play it for free. First world problems.
    Great post heat added. Now to chase up my Asus 4070Ti Tuf gaming card and get the delivery expedited to next day.

    Now the hard bit finding a motherboard that works with them. I want a DDR5 board, with WiFi 6e, PCIe 5.0 for around £180 to £250. (edited)
    lemming3k's avatar
    There was a B650 steel legend posted above. Depends how many Sata ports you need as it only has 2 so looks like I'm waiting for an X670.

    Might try and sell the glasses and the game but damn it needs to verify the hardware so gotta complete the build.
  17. JonReese's avatar
    Nice find. I'll likely buy this, although I am hoping for some drops in price of the X670 motherboards, so not sure if I should just hold off on the CPU until that happens.
  18. lemming3k's avatar
    Dropped another £10. Ha.
    The.Fat.Cat's avatar
    Now the same price as CeX sell used ones, lol!
  19. jaju123's avatar
    I swear this was £420 this morning
  20. GOODSTUFF's avatar
    way better than my newegg deal lol
  21. lemming3k's avatar
    Amazon seem to have matched the price. (edited)
    GOODSTUFF's avatar
    free GAMER glasses with amazon?
  22. satsumaaa's avatar
    Hi, does anyone know if I can upgrade from a 7600 to this without having to reinstall Windows again, or is that only for upgrading between the x3d cpus only?
    dont.mack.me.off's avatar
    Should be ok. You might need a bios update though (best to do that before you take the old CPU out). Obvs YMMV
  23. rossmcgowan123's avatar
    Anyone know how this CPU is for general use and multi-software use? Everything I'm reading is game orientated
    dont.mack.me.off's avatar
    Its a game orientated CPU. The extra cache memory helps with games but requires a lower clock speed as a result. If you arent going to use for much gaming then spend less on non 3D CPU.
  24. Travis_James's avatar
    Debating whether this is worth spending the £100 premium over the 7700X :/
    Minstadave's avatar
    Gaming your main use? What res and GPU?
  25. benbird7's avatar
    Everything set up currently on a z690 board, thinking of upgrading the 12700k to 14700k in a couple of months when released, keeping the board (bios update) and the ddr 4 etc etc.

    I mainly fly on Microsoft flight simulator in VR which this process with the vcache excels at but I don't think i can bring myself to switch everything over.
    YumSoup's avatar
    The 14000k has a different socket though?
  26. Thoughtful's avatar
    shame about the chipset and the motherboard cost
    The.Fat.Cat's avatar
    You can get B650M motherboard for under £112 now, and prices are still dropping. (edited)
  27. Mdiz's avatar
    Oh damn, bought this last week!
  28. SomeRandomISHere's avatar
    Is there a reason to buy this over an i5-3600k? Genuinely asking.
    fishmaster's avatar
    That's a typo definitely i5-13600K you mean. No there's absolutely no reason to buy the 7800X3D over an i5-13600K if you already have an i5-13600K and want to change platform. Single thread performance is better on the i5 and that matters in a lot of games. Your CPU is perfect all for current PC gaming with the right GPU and has far more multithreaded performance than is useful on any current game.

    The real decision is if you don't already have either CPU buy whichever is cheapest on the cheapest platform so look at CPU + Motherboard + DDR5 total cost. (edited)
  29. joshbenton's avatar
    Currently have a 4090 paired with a 5800x and i haven't noticed anything i can't run max at 4k.

    Am i best to wait until Zen5?
    The.Fat.Cat's avatar
    Running at 4K you are GPU bound (especially if maxing the image quality) so yeah, not really worth you looking into replacing your system yet.

    You would see some improvement, but not enough to warrant the cost of the new CPU, MB and RAM (that goes for Zen5 too). (edited)
  30. Goblin81's avatar
    Was looking at the 7700x but this is just under an extra £40 so pulled the trigger on the x3d.. Thanks op
    GOODSTUFF's avatar
    dont forget you get Starfield and most importantly GAMER glasses!
  31. kingmustard's avatar
    Can the game be sold?
    Eye-Will's avatar
    No there is a convoluted authentication process to pre-register, which is a shame as I also have game pass ultimate (GPU) so will get it included with the GPU.
  32. laccc's avatar
    I recently bought this cpu and built the pc today. Everything seems good so far but wondering when will I receive the Starfield coupon code and how?
    Zico's avatar
    You should already have a code from your order if it was from a participating retailer and included with your purchase.
    I bought a GPU from a different retailer earlier on and they sent a code with the order/invoice paperwork and need to claim this via the AMD rewards site. (edited)
