Extra curricular data (will go in Mega Charts update on the site!): For those interested in power consumption, the 5700X3D is about 82-86W in Blender all-core and 5800X3D is about 20W higher in all-core Blender. They draw closer in gaming. The power mostly shows differences from the frequency bump on the 5800X3D, so silicon quality is a lesser consideration compared to frequency.

Thanks for this. This was a massive concern of mine since I'm still in a Node 202 with its infamously terrible CPU cooling. Just further confirmed my decision to go with the 5700 instead of the 5800.
@@GamersNexus Not only my bet is, that the last golden piece in the AM4 mozaik will be an "5950 X3D" and then Lisa will allow this platform go to the deserved retirement 😎
8 months later this CPU is now $180, and the 5800X3D is nearly non-existent or priced near $400. It's hard to pass up the value of the 5700X3D at this point.
The 5800x3d has become so expensive now that is isnt even remotely viable anymore. I just bought a 5700x3d for 200 bucks. The other one goes for 400+, IF it is even available.
According to the webpage Videocardz, AMD discontinued the 5800x3D and 5600x3D, they are out of production, however the 5700x3D has continued to be manufactured.
Looking at it the same wat here in northern Europe. I don't need the latest and greatest for what I do so the 5700X3D is a great bang and not overspend on an older platform which still runs great
Just ordered it. Was waiting for the 5800x3D to hit $250 but I’m tired of waiting lol. Going from a 3800x and 2070S to a 5700x3D and 4070S. Super excited for my parts to come in.
I don't doubt that the AM4 platform will have relevance in another 4-5 years. And I bet some of the top tier chips will perform amazingly well for a long, long time! A 2-15 year run would be neat to see! Lol!
@@fvdeddriftOf course it will. All that matters is if it still does what you actually need it to do. If AM3 chips didn't lack newer instructions I know many people who would still try to rock them with a hefty overclock. For my home rig I skipped DDR4 entirely going from X79 to AM5. Lack of AVX2 was never a notable issue and this oc'd, 8-core xeon from 2012 can match or even beat 8700K/2700X levels of performance.
@@fvdeddrift I think it will go faster with time if you think of it.. Over 2-3 years 16 cores instead of 8 will be the main cpu to buy. Anything with lesser cores, wouldnt count anymore due lesser performance. I think 2- 3 years is the time AM4 will last.
Funny timing - this video dropped about an hour after I finally went for a 5800x3d! Here in the EU the pricing for these 2 parts is a little off. The 5800x3d is around €290, the 5700x3d is around €275. At that difference it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I actually didn't realise this SKU existed until very last minute; the most positive thing about the 5700x3d launch over here is that it's actually brought down prices on the 5800x3d - they're actually down by 10%. Very nice! Thanks for the review GN! Regardless of our weird pricing right now, I expect it'll go down in the near future and be a competitive choice given those benchmarks.
@@turtleneck369I don't know the monthly wages in Slovakia but your CPU won't change for a few years so $30 over a few years is almost nothing. Go for the better cpu
As someone with a r5 3600 who doesn’t plan on going AM5, I’m happy GN is reviewing this for us budget pc builders. I’m definitely buying this with my RTX 3070 and keeping it till AM6.
The one thing I'm worried about is my motherboard kicking the bucket before then. Still, AM5 Boards and DDR5 should have gotten cheaper/better at the very least by that time.
I expected the review once we saw the 5700X3D being announced. Of course, it's the 5700X3D itself that nobody expected. Perhaps we could even see a 7700X3D for AM5 in the future?
@@auturgicflosculator2183 That slab of cache is about 2/3rds the size of an 8 core CCD, so it costs real money to produce. Intel has segmented on cache size since forever (leading gamers to belive that games benefitted from more cores than was actually the case) by artificially cutting the L3 on the i7s and i3s (both are cut down from i9s and i5s). AMD has given the full amount the CCD has to offer for all SKUs regardless of core count or clock bin, and then decided to offer an upgrade, for a price, that also costs more to make. TL;DR: You won't see X3D on the ultra low end parts, as the cost increase doesn't warrant it.

@@GrahamDoesStuff You'll be fine! Just make sure your BIOS is up to date with your older Ryzen chip, and you should be all set. I finished all my upgrades yesterday, and the system feels brand new again! AM4 still kicking! Good Luck!
My guess is that 5700X3D and 5600X3D stock is coming from server silicon that didn't make the cut. Don't forget AMD still has to make server silicon of this generation for its customers who bought Milan X Epyc. I wouldn't be surprised to see these stay in stock until server production stops.
@@BBWahoo I went 2600X to 5950X... and then 7950X3D because the 5950X3D didn't become a thing. I doubt AMD will release such a high-end product for AM4 at this point, for this very reason.
@@alcapone154I don't know about any others outlets but for gamers nexus they probably just chose to prioritize the recent gpu launches instead. As in general there is more interest in new GPUs than CPUs
Great insight, thank you! When I bought my PC in 2021 I was a bit disappointed knowing I'd built on a discontinued platform. I'd never have imagined parts still being released for it in 2024, given how long it had already been supported.
Upgraded my AM4 rig with 3600 to the 5800X3D and an Asus Rog Strix 4080 after 4.5 years and it runs everything I need on High or Ultra at 1440p under 35db (all my fans are 140mm Chromax). Such a good investment/upgrade.
Lumen/Nanite isn't going to run as well as it should on Nvidia for a hot minute, don't blame your card or the dev if it's slow in some random UE5 game. Your card is blazing, incredibly fast, and even the next gen won't change that. It's just that Nvidia isn't playing ball with Epic for optimizations yet. Normal UE5 should be fine. I genuinely feel like the 80 ## card from the 40 series is going to feel like 1080 Ti part 2, even though the broader series is stinky
Wish they did a widespread release of the 5600X3D But they know if they did those & a 7600X3D, there'd be little reason for gamers to buy anything more.
Yeah the power of cache is insane. I just wish we had some real 5600x3d and 5500x3d cpus (if the latter will ever exist) that you could buy outside of certain parts of the us.
@@Oneiric_Benevolence An 8600X3D CPU is something that AMD should definitely consider to try grabbing the mid tier market of CPUs as much as possible while being as affordable as possible. It's getting harder for people to have the disposable income to sink money into a computer, so more affordable but high performing X3D CPUs would be a great option for the various budget constrained gamers out there.
It’s absurd that nvidia and intel has let L2 and L3 cache so meager after all these years and only had rtx 4000 series increase it up to 64mb on L2 and intel only giving more L2 and L3 cache for higher than xx600 cpus; its ridiculous that amd comes in and focuses on the exact thing the market needs instead of crap that doesn’t matter
@@saricubra2867no it didn’t. There’s not that much difference between them and there are tons of people already on AM4. The 5900x is still a great CPU and if you’re already on AM4 it’s a great value upgrade from older Gen CPUs. I upgraded to a 5950x without needing to change anything else and it’ll do me a few extra years easily. There’s no way I would have been better off switching to intel.
I set up my rig in 2019, just before Covid-19 wreaked havoc on the market... Even for that time, the setup wasn't the most expensive, but it offered the best cost-performance ratio I could find: R5 3600X, 5700XT, 16GB RAM, B450 Aorus M, EVGA 500W PSU... I'm considering upgrading a bit now, but unfortunately, jumping to AM5 isn't feasible for me since I'd need to buy new memory, motherboard, CPU, etc. I live in Brazil, and unfortunately everything here is ridiculously expensive, especially when it comes to gaming electronics =( I plan to upgrade in two phases, starting with the processor (5700X3D) and PSU (a 750W Gold), and then upgrading the GPU, probably to the 4070 Ti. I think with this upgrade, I'll be able to play games at good quality and frame rates for another 2 or 3 years. The release of the 5700X3D was a pleasant surprise for me, as the 5800 would have been well above my budget :) Just to give you an idea, here in Brazil, you can find the 5700X3D for around USD 250.00 (when on "sale"), while the 5800X3D goes for about USD 390.00 to 400.00. The 7800X3D is around USD 460.00. This prices are from Google Shopping, 07/2024
I went from 2700x to 5600x to 5800x3d over 6 years same motherboard ram and changed GPU from 970 SSC to 1080TI to 3080FTW3 Ultra. My other systems were Intel and I changed everything every time I got a new CPU. Kind wild to think about that. about every year and a half to two years I built new comps and Intel was on a new socket every time.
Upgraded last year from an RX570 4GB to a RX 6700XT 12GB for $300 and snagged an R7 5800X (non-3D) on black Friday for $180, which was a good jump from my old R5 2600. I don't see an AM5 upgrade in my future for at least a few years. AM4 just stays good.
If you stayed on 1080p that's a combo that will keep you set for a good long while. I was on 5950X + 6700XT at 1440p until November last year (where a bonus and complete lack of sanity enabled a 7950X3D + XTX upgrade) and it was chucking along nicely. 90FPS-ish in everything recent with mixed settings, so at 1080p you should be able to ride this console generation out without ever having to enable upscaling. (EDIT: Typo)
Oh hell yeah, i also upgrade my RX 570 8GB to RX 6700 XT (second hand cuz cheaper). Oh man the best feeling ever. Will save money to up my CPU to this new 5700X3D or 5800X3D
That’s crazy. You could build the rest of your system there for probably less than 600 dollars total and it would still be a killer system. Great value.
@g00bergob94 I originally wa Ted just the CPU, but for $20 more I got a motherboard that was better than what I had, and an extra kit of Ram I didn't need. So now I have almost a whole system I can pass along to someone else.
5700X3D has "aged" incredibly well in 5 months or so after release. Like, in central EU it's around 30-35% cheaper than 5800X3D, which is insane for a chip that's either almost the same, or insignificantly slower in most applications.
I gotta say i really appreciate putting in the r5 2600 in the video because that's EXACTLY the processor I'm uphtading from, it feels like in videos like this no one ever considers the persoective of someone jusr doing a simple upgrade without warning to switch motherboards like in this channel
I just upgraded from the 1600af so I appreciated that 2600 benchmark as well! Just put the 5700x3d in yesterday and the little bit I played around on it it was such a significant difference over 1600af😂😂
@@GamersNexus Yup, sold and shipped by Amazon Canada during pre-order. Apparently, they forgot to convert $250 USD to CAD hence why I got it at the price of a 5700X 😂

Was looking on the list of processors my 7 year old motherboard could handle as a last leg upgrade, and surprised to see the x3d chips on there. So i upgraded from the 2600 to the 5700x3d. And man the gains are so good. Like the chart suggests it’s almost twice as better than the 2600. Stellaris endgame is no longer a dread, i could build ridiculously massive factories in dyson sphere program, and adding more players in beyond all reason won’t cause the game to crawl. I think i can hold on to this pc for another 5 years easily. What a damn good platform
I bought into AM4 in 2020 initially with a Ryzen 5 5600x. I upgraded to a 5800x3d last year and gave my 5600x to my nephew to replace the 3600 he had. I ended up getting a cheap motherboard and paired his 3600 to retire a motherboard I had for another nephew that was still rocking an i5-7500
@@smoksta I game at 1440p with a rtx 3070 and the upgrade to me from the 5600x to the 5800x3d didn't feel as significant as the jump from the i7-6700k i had previous to the 5600x. i would've kept the 5600 but I got a really sweet deal on it from doing 2 years of searches with bing and using the points i got there to redeem Amazon cards and got the $350 cup for $212 after taxes. If you got a 3000 series Ryzen the 3D CPU's are worth not sure if I can say as much if you got a base 5k series. already unless you're playing games like microsoft flight simulator. The 5700x3d doesn't feel worth it compared to the 5800x3d because they're both 105w TDP cpu's if the 5700x3d was like it's non 3d cousin that used closer to 65wtdp it'd be more worth it because of lower heat output. That's honestly the biggest grip I have with the x3d CPU's is how hot they run. My office / pc gaming room turns into a sauna when playing couter strike 2 using a 5800x3d paired with a noctua single stack cooler and two fans.
Just wanna say thanks for continuing to show FFXIV! Seems like almost nobody else benchmarks an MMO, which is a real shame. As long as you guys keep FFXIV in your benchmark suite, I'll keep watching every video!
@@GamersNexus Oh, we're getting the Dawntrail benchmark in a few months. It'll be interesting to see how different it behaves with the graphics update against the same hardware.
@@GamersNexus To be fair it's impossible to choose a benchmark suite that will keep everyone if anyone happy. If you go full "popular" games we have to endure laughable 700fps Counterstrike, Fortnite, and R6 benches that are horrible for portraying limitations in demanding games. (Which are really only popular because they're free and many of those players aren't buying hardware.) If you go full demanding AAA games you're tiptoeing through a minefield of sponsored games that are optimized for one vendor over another and constant patches. For every niche title like F1, FF14, or FIFA (that's a lot of Fs in the chat) you know 90% of your viewers skip right past that content while 10% are deeply engaged. The best you can do since you obviously can't benchmark 73 games is try and spitball a mixture of them all while giving a nod to more CPU demanding ones for CPU reviews, and vice versa for GPUs. I wouldn't want to be in the meeting room while trying to update the roster. Heated words, chairs thrown, lifelong friendships ruined then reconciled over a case of beer after. Sounds like a Lifetime drama.
The problem with MMO benchmark is that the usual performance target is in raids and other endgame content, and that's not really accessible to a reviewer just looking to do a few benchmarks. The 7800X3D is the single most important piece of upgrade you can make if you raid bleeding edge in WoW for example, but its only people who play at that level will know that, if you ask around for a new PC for WoW most people will suggest you pair a modest CPU with a beefy GPU when that's the last thing you need.
@@dumpsterplayer5133 Not really. For a game like WoW that supports multithreading once you bury it under 87 mods in a raid environment I'd guarantee a 14700k would be superior for less money. I haven't raided in a while but I know WoW loves cores in heavy situations over single core performance and my 12 core absolutely destroyed my 8 core last time I played even though they're pretty close in single core performance. If you look at the benchmarks here even the lowly i5 is beating the mighty 7800X3D in FF14 and it's only going to get worse as you add mods, effects, and spells flying everywhere. Don't fall for the "OMGX3D" hooplah. When you watch all the reviews you only see them paired with a 4090 at 1080p, when absolutely _no one_ using a 4090 is gaming on a 1080p display. The X3D is great in very specific situations with games that love vcache but the second you turn up the resolution it falls to Zen4/13th gen levels because you're GPU limited. But the real insult is the second you _aren't_ gaming (you know, the most common time that you aren't GPU bound) it falls flat on it's face compared to non-X3D Zen4 and 13th gen. I'd just about guarantee the 7700x would match the X3D in WoW and the 14700kf would dominate it and both cost less without failing hard at CPU heavy workloads. The X3Ds are cool technology, don't get me wrong, but $400 is laughably overpriced for an 8 core in 2024 that only shines at low rez with a $2000 GPU which _no one_ is playing at. Not when Intel gives you 8p+12e and AMD gives you 12 for less money.
I have a 5800X3D, B450 motherboard (MSI Gaming Pro Carbon), and a RTX 4080 and really, that is enough for me. I haven't been into gaming in the last couple of months, but probably about to go back to it in some capacity. I am satisfied with AM4 until I feel it's necessary to upgrade, and right now, I don't! It all depends on if it's important to you personally. AM4 platform does not equate to obsolescence to me AT ALL!! Thanks Steve! "
I went am4 back in 2020 with the 3700x and recently looked into upgrades and of course 5800x3d don't exist anywhere other then overpriced on ebay so 5700x3d is what I have to settle for.

People want competition in the lower to mid CPU market and Dr Su goes "Fine... I'll compete against myself then!". People who aren't convinced to go AM5 by now (after boards and RAM has come down from the stratosphere) are stubborn little critters who insist on value (aka your traditional AMD user)... So if those quarterly sales numbers have to keep looking good, wringing out another $250 is better than nothing I suppose :P

@@joshuapicarello The goal is to wring more money out of people. They're a company. There's a very good reason it took this long for it to come out... as I stated above.

I got my brand new 5800X3D no tax 300 bucks, its crazy good binned also. it goes -30 all cores and hits average of 4.549 and max of 4.89 but usually the max I see every few days is 4.649 but everyday is 4.549 and I haven't lowered anything but the all core voltage. I am going to lower the rest and see if I can get higher clocks than this.
Yeah... I think I am gonna get the 5700x3D as a last upgrade on my AM4 PC. I was thinking at 5800x3D but it got more expensive in the last 3 months, and it seems to be hard to find in stock in my local market.
As someone who builds computers for little profit, I'm glad to see AM4 continue even for a little bit - you'd be surprised the performance you can squeeze out of a good AM4 system without it costing an arm and a leg.
I'm thrilled to see AMD keeping AM4 alive. This is really great for budget builders who want a smokin' machine and now can afford a better GPU. Really awesome to be able to upgrade your 4 or 5 year old rig for a couple hundred bucks and be top performing (close at least) AND have way more to put into a video budget.. So nice. I went 5800x3d last year and got super lucky I grabbed one for 289 brand new from Amazon it was an awesome deal, brand new FROM Amazon... it was like 3 days and I nabbed one.. SO nice because they're back to 329 again.. What an amazing upgrade from a 2600x. Such an upgrade!

I really love your videos. They are super detailed and have almost German precision. I'm just missing a little thing. I would be happy if there was a comparison table with the temperatures of the individual CPUs. Best regards from Berlin.
Would have been nice to see more comparisons between the 5700X3D and the Ryzen 5600X since its a chip that makes the most sense as an upgrade to current AM4 users.
These exist because Milan and Milan-X still exist. As long as AMD still has contracts to maintain supply and Warranty SLAs, AMD will continue to make Zen3 and Zen-x3d chiplets. If it doesnt make the Milan/Milan-X binning requirements, it goes onto an AM4 chip.
Was watching this video, checked whether 5700X3D was available in my country already, saw it at 270€, bought 5800X3D for 287€ on sale (It stedily crept up to around 330€). So, thanks Gamers Nexus!
I'm writing this July 14th, 2024. On Amazon, the 5700x3d is on sale for $187. I currently have a 5600X and I'm strongly considering the upgrade at that price
My Intel build broke had DDR4 10700 locked. Updated to AM4 5700x3d and it's really strong. Next build with be AM5 but budget constraints. Had some people shaming me cause I didn't update to current gen but as a dad of 2 and the price of everything this was the build that made sense for my wallet.
The 5700X3D probably the best mid-tier CPU available on the market right now for anyone on a strict budget if you're talking purely about gaming. For its price to performance, ideal 8 core/16 threads layout, efficient power usage that comes from 3D cache AMD CPUs, and being in a $250 price range where someone on a budget could stretch it just enough for this CPU, it seems like a clear choice. Being $70 cheaper than the 5800X3D puts it in a much more affordable price category. I really love how this CPU could be great for people who are more financially constrained and are saving up for a computer. A number of people may only have the budget to save up for a reasonable computer once for a good period of time (like college students), and the 5700X3D fits much better for those sorts of budget constraints with AM4 parts while aging much better than the non-X3D CPU alternatives.
I bought B550 Tomahawk and 5800X3D last winter. Fantastic platform. Not sure why people saying its a dead platform. They act like this wont last 3-4 more years

2am for me lmao. Im hyped for this CPU since I need a CPU to push my 4080 at 1440p Ultrawide on my AM4 setup. My current 5600x does the job in most of my games, but FPS games like PUBG leave so much on the table. I was waiting for the 5800x3d to finally drop to 250-270 Euros and I am excited to see if the 5700x3d might be a better fit. I have a pretty compact case and I am limited to a single top mounted 240mm AIO. Im hoping the 5700 runs a bit cooler than the 5800 and I dont have to undervolt it :D
in your head to head comparison charts perhaps consider using color to indicate a negative effect (red) e.g. % less frames 5700x3d and positive effect (blue) % value for frame vs 5800x3d

Thanks for this review which made my mind up to upgrade from my 3600 to this rather than swallow the cost of an AM5 upgrade! Picked up a tray CPU for £135 after some eBay code experimentation so fingers crossed :)
As an update after upgrading from my 3600x to the 5700x3D in basically every game gets 10-15fps more and in world of Warcraft I went from ~50fps with medium settings in valdrakken to over 80fps on max (RTX off) with my 2070 super at 1440p
Extra curricular data (will go in Mega Charts update on the site!): For those interested in power consumption, the 5700X3D is about 82-86W in Blender all-core and 5800X3D is about 20W higher in all-core Blender. They draw closer in gaming. The power mostly shows differences from the frequency bump on the 5800X3D, so silicon quality is a lesser consideration compared to frequency.

The 5800x3d has become so expensive now that is isnt even remotely viable anymore. I just bought a 5700x3d for 200 bucks. The other one goes for 400+, IF it is even available.
Same here in Brasil, more then double the price if available
According to the webpage Videocardz, AMD discontinued the 5800x3D and 5600x3D, they are out of production, however the 5700x3D has continued to be manufactured.
How have you been liking your 5700x3D and what gpu/s have you paired with it?
same! I just opted for the 5800x3d. Ebay prices are pushing 400-500 bucks!

@@fvdeddriftOf course it will. All that matters is if it still does what you actually need it to do. If AM3 chips didn't lack newer instructions I know many people who would still try to rock them with a hefty overclock. For my home rig I skipped DDR4 entirely going from X79 to AM5. Lack of AVX2 was never a notable issue and this oc'd, 8-core xeon from 2012 can match or even beat 8700K/2700X levels of performance.

@@Luke-pp2lw Amazing, you went AM4 before the RYZEN arrived, that was keen. Also what an amazing upgrade from Athlon to Zen.
@@fvdeddrift I think it will go faster with time if you think of it.. Over 2-3 years 16 cores instead of 8 will be the main cpu to buy. Anything with lesser cores, wouldnt count anymore due lesser performance. I think 2- 3 years is the time AM4 will last.
Funny timing - this video dropped about an hour after I finally went for a 5800x3d! Here in the EU the pricing for these 2 parts is a little off. The 5800x3d is around €290, the 5700x3d is around €275. At that difference it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I actually didn't realise this SKU existed until very last minute; the most positive thing about the 5700x3d launch over here is that it's actually brought down prices on the 5800x3d - they're actually down by 10%. Very nice!
Thanks for the review GN! Regardless of our weird pricing right now, I expect it'll go down in the near future and be a competitive choice given those benchmarks.

Hahaha beat me to it.
As someone with a r5 3600 who doesn’t plan on going AM5, I’m happy GN is reviewing this for us budget pc builders. I’m definitely buying this with my RTX 3070 and keeping it till AM6.
I was on r7 3700x and 3070 but switched to the 5800x 3d. I'll also be waiting till next gen to see what new gpus and cpus come out with.
you could always use the budget to get a really good gpu instead of a full build.
The one thing I'm worried about is my motherboard kicking the bucket before then. Still, AM5 Boards and DDR5 should have gotten cheaper/better at the very least by that time.

@@auturgicflosculator2183 That slab of cache is about 2/3rds the size of an 8 core CCD, so it costs real money to produce. Intel has segmented on cache size since forever (leading gamers to belive that games benefitted from more cores than was actually the case) by artificially cutting the L3 on the i7s and i3s (both are cut down from i9s and i5s). AMD has given the full amount the CCD has to offer for all SKUs regardless of core count or clock bin, and then decided to offer an upgrade, for a price, that also costs more to make.
TL;DR: You won't see X3D on the ultra low end parts, as the cost increase doesn't warrant it.
As AMD is still manufacturing Zen 3 x3d for server, they will have chips to supply am4 for maybe a year or two.

Finally. Been checking everyday for this review.
Exactly! There are no reviews at all. Why did it take so long?
@@alcapone154I don't know about any others outlets but for gamers nexus they probably just chose to prioritize the recent gpu launches instead. As in general there is more interest in new GPUs than CPUs
If I’m right, I don’t think these were seeded out to reviewers. That’s why there was no reviews at launch.
Great insight, thank you! When I bought my PC in 2021 I was a bit disappointed knowing I'd built on a discontinued platform. I'd never have imagined parts still being released for it in 2024, given how long it had already been supported.
Upgraded my AM4 rig with 3600 to the 5800X3D and an Asus Rog Strix 4080 after 4.5 years and it runs everything I need on High or Ultra at 1440p under 35db (all my fans are 140mm Chromax). Such a good investment/upgrade.
You have dream come true machine bro enjoy
Lumen/Nanite isn't going to run as well as it should on Nvidia for a hot minute, don't blame your card or the dev if it's slow in some random UE5 game. Your card is blazing, incredibly fast, and even the next gen won't change that. It's just that Nvidia isn't playing ball with Epic for optimizations yet. Normal UE5 should be fine.
I genuinely feel like the 80 ## card from the 40 series is going to feel like 1080 Ti part 2, even though the broader series is stinky
Not like it matters since you had $1500+ budget. But unless you got the 5800x3d on a sale, it's actually the same price to get AM5 platform.

I'd love to have gotten a 5600X3D but they're pretty much unobtanium anymore unless your Microcenter is one of the half dozen that has one still.

But they know if they did those & a 7600X3D, there'd be little reason for gamers to buy anything more.
The fact that this cpu trades blows with the 7600x and 7700x which are clocking a whole GHz higher and on newer architecture is incredible!
Yeah the power of cache is insane. I just wish we had some real 5600x3d and 5500x3d cpus (if the latter will ever exist) that you could buy outside of certain parts of the us.
@@Oneiric_Benevolence An 8600X3D CPU is something that AMD should definitely consider to try grabbing the mid tier market of CPUs as much as possible while being as affordable as possible. It's getting harder for people to have the disposable income to sink money into a computer, so more affordable but high performing X3D CPUs would be a great option for the various budget constrained gamers out there.
It’s absurd that nvidia and intel has let L2 and L3 cache so meager after all these years and only had rtx 4000 series increase it up to 64mb on L2 and intel only giving more L2 and L3 cache for higher than xx600 cpus; its ridiculous that amd comes in and focuses on the exact thing the market needs instead of crap that doesn’t matter
AMD should just launch the X3D as default cpu

I think with this upgrade, I'll be able to play games at good quality and frame rates for another 2 or 3 years.
The release of the 5700X3D was a pleasant surprise for me, as the 5800 would have been well above my budget :)

I don't see an AM5 upgrade in my future for at least a few years. AM4 just stays good.
If you stayed on 1080p that's a combo that will keep you set for a good long while. I was on 5950X + 6700XT at 1440p until November last year (where a bonus and complete lack of sanity enabled a 7950X3D + XTX upgrade) and it was chucking along nicely. 90FPS-ish in everything recent with mixed settings, so at 1080p you should be able to ride this console generation out without ever having to enable upscaling.

For every niche title like F1, FF14, or FIFA (that's a lot of Fs in the chat) you know 90% of your viewers skip right past that content while 10% are deeply engaged.
The best you can do since you obviously can't benchmark 73 games is try and spitball a mixture of them all while giving a nod to more CPU demanding ones for CPU reviews, and vice versa for GPUs.
I wouldn't want to be in the meeting room while trying to update the roster. Heated words, chairs thrown, lifelong friendships ruined then reconciled over a case of beer after. Sounds like a Lifetime drama.
The problem with MMO benchmark is that the usual performance target is in raids and other endgame content, and that's not really accessible to a reviewer just looking to do a few benchmarks. The 7800X3D is the single most important piece of upgrade you can make if you raid bleeding edge in WoW for example, but its only people who play at that level will know that, if you ask around for a new PC for WoW most people will suggest you pair a modest CPU with a beefy GPU when that's the last thing you need.
@@dumpsterplayer5133 Not really. For a game like WoW that supports multithreading once you bury it under 87 mods in a raid environment I'd guarantee a 14700k would be superior for less money. I haven't raided in a while but I know WoW loves cores in heavy situations over single core performance and my 12 core absolutely destroyed my 8 core last time I played even though they're pretty close in single core performance. If you look at the benchmarks here even the lowly i5 is beating the mighty 7800X3D in FF14 and it's only going to get worse as you add mods, effects, and spells flying everywhere.
Don't fall for the "OMGX3D" hooplah. When you watch all the reviews you only see them paired with a 4090 at 1080p, when absolutely _no one_ using a 4090 is gaming on a 1080p display. The X3D is great in very specific situations with games that love vcache but the second you turn up the resolution it falls to Zen4/13th gen levels because you're GPU limited. But the real insult is the second you _aren't_ gaming (you know, the most common time that you aren't GPU bound) it falls flat on it's face compared to non-X3D Zen4 and 13th gen. I'd just about guarantee the 7700x would match the X3D in WoW and the 14700kf would dominate it and both cost less without failing hard at CPU heavy workloads.
The X3Ds are cool technology, don't get me wrong, but $400 is laughably overpriced for an 8 core in 2024 that only shines at low rez with a $2000 GPU which _no one_ is playing at. Not when Intel gives you 8p+12e and AMD gives you 12 for less money.
I have a 5800X3D, B450 motherboard (MSI Gaming Pro Carbon), and a RTX 4080 and really, that is enough for me. I haven't been into gaming in the last couple of months, but probably about to go back to it in some capacity. I am satisfied with AM4 until I feel it's necessary to upgrade, and right now, I don't! It all depends on if it's important to you personally. AM4 platform does not equate to obsolescence to me AT ALL!! Thanks Steve!
"
I went am4 back in 2020 with the 3700x and recently looked into upgrades and of course 5800x3d don't exist anywhere other then overpriced on ebay so 5700x3d is what I have to settle for.
Literallt i waited too long to upgrade :/
Same here I'm not gonna buy a hype up high price and only gain about 8%
@@AwesomeBlackDude the 5700x3d is also gonna get expensive as it starts getting near end of life soon
You are amazing for benchmarking CPU-heavy games like Stellaris and FFXIV ❤
This is like back in the mid-late 1990s when you could get brand new CPUs with higher clock speeds and 5th gen features for 486-based sockets lol.
Pentium Overdrive ftw, it was expensive but still a lot cheaper than building a whole new setup
I remember watching "The Computer Chronicles" and hearing about how "now" they needed to worry about cooling CPUs since before Intel did Pentium(?) cooling wasn't really even a concern in servers let alone personal computers.
Socket 7 supported intel, amd and Cyrix.
I WAS THERE MAN! 😬😅
@@paulct91 Yeah lol, my first couple of PCs were bare PCB everywhere, with a couple of little aluminum passive heatsinks the size of an NVME drive or smaller. 😄
AMD stays winning with am4
People want competition in the lower to mid CPU market and Dr Su goes "Fine... I'll compete against myself then!". People who aren't convinced to go AM5 by now (after boards and RAM has come down from the stratosphere) are stubborn little critters who insist on value (aka your traditional AMD user)... So if those quarterly sales numbers have to keep looking good, wringing out another $250 is better than nothing I suppose :P
@@andersjjensen people that can upgrade themselves would almost always get the 5800x3d. The market for this is prebuilt manufactures to move their old stock of often cut down am4 mobos by giving them a cut down 5800x3d at cheaper price the can advertise and sell as a new shiny
@@andersjjensen The goal is to allow older Zen users an upgrade path without breaking the bank. Lisa has managed just that by offering more budget friendly options to the mid-high end market. As shown, both the 5700X3D and 5800X3D stack up quite nicely with current gen offerings, making it relevant to continue support for the most versatile socket to date. If that's what it takes to bring more competition to the market? Then by all means, keep at it. It's working, and that's all that matters.
@@joshuapicarello The goal is to wring more money out of people. They're a company. There's a very good reason it took this long for it to come out... as I stated above.
AMD, it seems, are just more willing to try to compete against the used market, which is where many will go if there are no proper value new options.
if you told me back in 2017 that am4@ddr4 would compete with intel@ddr5 seven years later. i would call you a madman!
people tried but they were called fanboys
Competes in what? A handful of games?
Gets rings run around them on everything else.
@@griffin1366No it competes in most games, look at the GN and HUB tests.
Bruh, it also competes with AMD@ddr5. And intel ddr4 comepetes with it's own ddr5. Wrong comparison.
AMD only competes with themselves.
I hope Intel won't delay/cancel everything this year again.
It's crazy how well these "old" chips do in gaming compared to a newer $600 part (14900k).
I got my brand new 5800X3D no tax 300 bucks, its crazy good binned also. it goes -30 all cores and hits average of 4.549 and max of 4.89 but usually the max I see every few days is 4.649 but everyday is 4.549 and I haven't lowered anything but the all core voltage. I am going to lower the rest and see if I can get higher clocks than this.
Yeah... I think I am gonna get the 5700x3D as a last upgrade on my AM4 PC. I was thinking at 5800x3D but it got more expensive in the last 3 months, and it seems to be hard to find in stock in my local market.
Yeah，weirdly it went out of stock or almost doubled in price by almost fifty percent where I live, while this has just appeared at MSRP.
As someone who builds computers for little profit, I'm glad to see AM4 continue even for a little bit - you'd be surprised the performance you can squeeze out of a good AM4 system without it costing an arm and a leg.
LOL Newegg has a advertisement that says "The more you add to your cart, the more you save!"
Kind of reminds me of Jensen's speech last year.
Man, I automatically have a slightly worse opinion of someone if they work on marketing. How to scam people the most legal way possible, what a job.
"The more you buy, the more you save." lololol
69th 👍 😅😂🤣😂🤣
I'm thrilled to see AMD keeping AM4 alive. This is really great for budget builders who want a smokin' machine and now can afford a better GPU. Really awesome to be able to upgrade your 4 or 5 year old rig for a couple hundred bucks and be top performing (close at least) AND have way more to put into a video budget.. So nice. I went 5800x3d last year and got super lucky I grabbed one for 289 brand new from Amazon it was an awesome deal, brand new FROM Amazon... it was like 3 days and I nabbed one.. SO nice because they're back to 329 again.. What an amazing upgrade from a 2600x. Such an upgrade!
The Hardware Unbox review was better because they had the real genuine box. Steve from HBU said that GN Steve will appreciate this 😁
This review of hardware was UN-boxed. UN-acceptable 😂
As always though, Steve's review was the best 😉
For people like you incapable of changing a motherboard it is a god send. If you ever need technical advice from my 9 year old son he is happy to assist
I have waited for this review specifically from you guys can’t wait to see it love all the work done thanks a lot!
Imagine 5800X3D refresh on 5/4nm with higher clocks, still AM4. That would be awesome :)
5800X3D+
5ghz
5800XTX3D
That is not a bad idea actually
Nice. Maybe I will make the upgrade to this one. Still holding to my AM4
...is that really upgrading, feels like just waiting for AM6 would be better than scoring "older" AM5 bundles for "cheap" from MicroCenter would be good too.
I really love your videos. They are super detailed and have almost German precision. I'm just missing a little thing. I would be happy if there was a comparison table with the temperatures of the individual CPUs. Best regards from Berlin.
Would have been nice to see more comparisons between the 5700X3D and the Ryzen 5600X since its a chip that makes the most sense as an upgrade to current AM4 users.
I am excited to ride my 5600X3D all the way to AM6.
AM4, what a platform. You can start with a low end IGP gaming with 2200G and scale up to a high end dedicated GPU with the X3D parts.
These exist because Milan and Milan-X still exist. As long as AMD still has contracts to maintain supply and Warranty SLAs, AMD will continue to make Zen3 and Zen-x3d chiplets. If it doesnt make the Milan/Milan-X binning requirements, it goes onto an AM4 chip.
Was watching this video, checked whether 5700X3D was available in my country already, saw it at 270€, bought 5800X3D for 287€ on sale (It stedily crept up to around 330€). So, thanks Gamers Nexus!
I'm writing this July 14th, 2024. On Amazon, the 5700x3d is on sale for $187. I currently have a 5600X and I'm strongly considering the upgrade at that price
Have you decided? If yes, did it worth it? I am also considering a similar upgrade.
@@redraven1189 hell no its not worth it! 5600x alone is a sick fking chip. if u gonna upgrade, get the very best! thats 5800x3d!
That 65$ gap is actually nice you can end with a better gpu. Like 4070 to 4070 super.
My Intel build broke had DDR4 10700 locked. Updated to AM4 5700x3d and it's really strong. Next build with be AM5 but budget constraints. Had some people shaming me cause I didn't update to current gen but as a dad of 2 and the price of everything this was the build that made sense for my wallet.
The 5700X3D probably the best mid-tier CPU available on the market right now for anyone on a strict budget if you're talking purely about gaming. For its price to performance, ideal 8 core/16 threads layout, efficient power usage that comes from 3D cache AMD CPUs, and being in a $250 price range where someone on a budget could stretch it just enough for this CPU, it seems like a clear choice. Being $70 cheaper than the 5800X3D puts it in a much more affordable price category.
I really love how this CPU could be great for people who are more financially constrained and are saving up for a computer. A number of people may only have the budget to save up for a reasonable computer once for a good period of time (like college students), and the 5700X3D fits much better for those sorts of budget constraints with AM4 parts while aging much better than the non-X3D CPU alternatives.
I bought B550 Tomahawk and 5800X3D last winter. Fantastic platform. Not sure why people saying its a dead platform. They act like this wont last 3-4 more years
i bought my 5800x3d shortly before the 5700x3d released and i'm very glad i didn't wait for the 57 just to save a few bucks (can't recall exactly what i spent on the 58)
Steve form Hardware Unboxed say his review of R7 5700X3D is better becouse he have retail box version not send by AMD :D Back to you Steve.
Thanks for showing all of the competition on the bar graphs plus upgradable cpus!
I've been wanting to upgrade my 3600x to a used 5800x3d...but its just too good of a chip, nobody wants to sell it! Maybe I'll end up with this chip but will keep an eye out for a sale first.
I'm about to upgrade from r5 3600 to r7 5700x3d and I'm glad to see that even tho is wasnt built for productivity it will still be a really good upgrade , thqnks for the video

Time to watch a 5700x3d review at 11pm
2am for me lmao. Im hyped for this CPU since I need a CPU to push my 4080 at 1440p Ultrawide on my AM4 setup.
My current 5600x does the job in most of my games, but FPS games like PUBG leave so much on the table.
I was waiting for the 5800x3d to finally drop to 250-270 Euros and I am excited to see if the 5700x3d might be a better fit.
I have a pretty compact case and I am limited to a single top mounted 240mm AIO. Im hoping the 5700 runs a bit cooler than the 5800 and I dont have to undervolt it :D

the 5800x3d is frequently down to 285€ in europe, the 7600 was lately available for 175. Launching the 5700x3d at 250 seems.. bad

in your head to head comparison charts perhaps consider using color to indicate a negative effect (red) e.g. % less frames 5700x3d and positive effect (blue) % value for frame vs 5800x3d
5900 X3d next year would be so funny. I just purchased a 5800x3d resently, and really enjoying it.
5950X3D pls... maybe they'll do it as AM5 ages further and AM4 is not directly conflict with lower-end AM5... who knows... just a hopeful thought 🙏

Just bought the 5700x3D for 200. Gonna blow my ryzen 3600x out of the water and I can't wait.
Gamers Nexus should improve their reviews - luck of CPU box really sucks, likely we have Hardware Unboxed wich did far better job in that regard!
Man as I went all in and built 2 am5 PCs in the last year I hope it has
Legs like the am4 does
Don’t buy, build.
Just bought a 5700x3d, the 5800x3d costs literally double here, so no brainer really, hope it will pair nicely with the also new 7800xt

Great review, but no box guys, HUB wins by default.

@@divinehatred6021 such a way with words, might need to go to the burn unit with that burn, 🤡
I like AMDs long term support for its platforms
Value for money, this is an outstanding release, especially for current AM4 owners
Also for people who buy a new computer every 5-8 years and just run it into the ground. I help a lot of people build computers, and there are actually a fair number of non-enthusiasts who operate like that. For those the current AM4/DDR4 discounts are a godsend as it means one or two tiers of GPU higher for the same budget.
$250 old gen CPU? Still a bit too expensive, when ~$160 7500f exists. You can literally get cheapest B650 and 7500f for the price of a single chip.
@@andersjjensenI think most people who don't buy new GPU's every two years do exactly that. It only gets replaced when it's hopelessly inadequate or broken.
@@stangamer11517500f is so far down the line it's easy for a $300-500 GPU to be choked by the CPU. Just because a game is GPU bound doesn't mean a slower CPU will produce the same FPS, Black Desert Online is a great example.

Iam a wow player i had a am4 x570 with a 3900x i went with the 5700x3d and holy shit this is the best upgrade for my rtx3080 so far
My 3080 was living in a cage for gaming with that 3900x
Fun fact: at me's, price difference between 5700x3d and 5800x3d is minimal, so it actually makes much more sense to buy the higher one.
It's the same for me and my region
I just upgraded my 3800x to 5800x3d along with a 4080 Super. Was on the fence about the 5700x3d and figured the price/performance would be about where it turned out. Good option for folks who need to maximize fps/$! Long live AM4!
Wish the 5600X3D was included in charts
Yes, it's Limited at retail... But that doesn't make it rare enough to ignore.
When I look at GN's benchmark website it is included now
Best decisions in my life have been: meeting my spouse, having a family, building on AM4 platform. AMD delivers again and again
You missed one of the most impactful use cases of a X3D CPU - Factorio. Just like the factory, your reviews must grow!
I'm still on the 3700X, I'm definitely considering going 5700x3d or 5800x3d and waiting for AM6. I feel no pressure to go AM5. Been very happy I chose to go AM4
Get the 5700X3D, keep on AM4
Got tired of waiting on the 5800x3d to drop price. Here in Europe i was able to buy the 5700x3d for 180,00 euros while the 5800x3d was going for 379,00. Double the price for barely 10% increase performance, i dont think so 😅. In this situation which of these would you guys choose?
AM5 is in. Time to upgrade.
I also waited for the price drop of the 5800x3D and it never came down. Now I want to buy the 5900x because it costs around $200 and is much faster than the 5700x3D.
Hardware unboxed’s review was better because they got the real box
Great review! But where's the box?
Thanks for this review which made my mind up to upgrade from my 3600 to this rather than swallow the cost of an AM5 upgrade! Picked up a tray CPU for £135 after some eBay code experimentation so fingers crossed :)
As an update after upgrading from my 3600x to the 5700x3D in basically every game gets 10-15fps more and in world of Warcraft I went from ~50fps with medium settings in valdrakken to over 80fps on max (RTX off) with my 2070 super at 1440p
You used to have to wait 4-5 intel generations for this kind of upgrade
