Early Ryzen 7 5800X3D review highlights AMD's gaming prowess

It's a split between them in different ways but in production very different.

I'm only intrested in gaming myself, see on toms hardware they had a review up but between the 5800x vs 5800x3d even in 1440p their was a noticable difference some larger than others but generally 5% overall.

I feel the key thing is the UK price, it'll be the swansong for my system so a 5700x vs 5800x3d is "maybe" 10% at 1440p but if the gap is too large in price it's harder to justify, i could see myself getting it at say £350 but much more than that i really not sure.

My main intrest in the 5800x3d is it's performance in RSR as i'd be upscaling from 1080p in that case this chip might have a little magic in that aspect, but still only in certain games but it's something i'm intrested in knowing about as a deciding factor.

I said a while ago and still feel this this chip is a test bed of things to come and i doubt they will be as mass produced as other chips, saying that it could turn out as the best chip the AM4 platform will get least in terms of gaming it's just the price that will either be a turn on or run away like hell LUL
 
It's possible this particular chip will compete with Zen 4 in gaming. The 5800X3D could become a swansong for AM4 that keeps many gamers tied to the platform quite happily. It may not sell a ton out of the gate, but it could sell consistently well over the next few years.
 
I feel it's a little overpriced so if able i'll pick up a 5900x i just don't feel it's worth the extra myself, still not long till i know for sure :)

It's a decent chip thou but it's situational and so that is my main issue.
 
Having watched several reviews I don't find it terribly exciting.

The 12900KF beats it overall in gaming and it has pretty hard caveats.

I mean yeah the 12900KF is like double the price but reviews don't overclock the true competition, that being the 12700KF which is cheaper. At which point there will be little in it.

The caveats hurt it quite badly too. IE because of the cache sandwich temps are not good, and it's clock restricted and thus in anything else but gaming it's slow. It gets pummeled by the 12700KF. It's also 300mhz or so slower than the 5800X and totally locked down for overclocking because of said cache.

The only way I have ever killed a CPU stone dead was by killing the cache, and it's super fragile in this CPU meaning overclocks are literally locked out.

I think Anthony on LTT said it best with "if you don't overclock at all then it may be a good upgrade to an earlier gen Ryzen, but not worth considering for a new build".
 
From everything I've seen so far it wins about half the time against a 12900K and loses the other half in games BUT considering it's price it's a damn nice chip.
