A great upgrade option for anyone with an AM4 motherboard.

Very much needed considering the 13600K is better in most instances and cost less. Now the 5800X3D is cheaper. Gotta love competition!

For me it ain't, seeing as I'm already on AM4 plattform. For me, being on an 3700X, going 5800X3D would yield me a lot more both perfomance wise and economically than going 13600K![]()
Yeah, I'm on AM4 too, but I want a new motherboard.![]()

Why do you want a new motherboard?
I'd like to build an SFF system. Mostly for the challenge and fun. I'm not fussed about raw performance any more. I just would like to build something fun and efficient.
Is it worth going from a 5800X to a 5800X 3D?
I would say no.
I would say it would depend on its price, the 5800X3D can hold its own against the current generation CPU releases for gaming when paired with a modern GPU, if however, you are looking for a balanced allrounder then perhaps the 13600K route is the better choice; that would all depend on your budget and willingness to jump platform though.
