![]() ![]() So it's not really an apples to apples comparison in terms of features and board quality. In our opinion, paying a small premium for access to the AM5 platform makes sense, you're getting DDR5 memory support, a much better upgrade path, PCIe Express 5.0, better USB and M.2 support and a higher quality motherboard at the prices quoted here. The DDR5-6000 C元0 kit we use for testing costs $225, though there are C元6 kits selling for as little as $150, but without testing we're not sure how much performance you're giving up there.įor the performance shown in this review, you'll need to spend $225 on the memory, taking the total build cost to $665, a 7% increase over what you'll typically pay for the 5800X3D package, or up to 17% more if you go off best pricing for the 8-core processor. Ideally, you'd probably want something like the Gigabyte B650M Aorus Elite AX which costs $200. Meanwhile AM5 motherboard pricing still kind of sucks and it's not easy to snap up a B650 board for much under $200, with just a few options to choose from. So if we factor in the cost of the B550 board and go with the lowest 5800X3D price right now, that package comes out at $570, or $620 using more typical CPU pricing. Then you're looking at $120 for a 32GB kit of DDR4-3600 CL16 memory, and that's what we'll be using for testing today. In the case of AM4, you can get a really nice B550 board like the MSI MAG B550M Bazooka for $120 or a usable B450 model for $100. These are meant to be temporary holiday season price cuts, but we believe we'll find these updated prices to become permanent, if not for the 7600X it will be for the soon to be released non-X version.Īll in all, if we take the current low prices for each model, the 7600X is around 30% cheaper than the 5800X3D in the US, and looking at retailers in Europe and Australia we find a difference around 20% cheaper in the 7600X's favor as well. ![]() In contrast, the newer Ryzen 5 7600X which landed with a $300 MSRP has been slashed as low as $245. As of writing, the 5800X3D can typically be bought for $380, though there are listings as low as $330. You could argue the same is also true of Intel's dead LGA 1700 platform that supports the 13th-gen Raptop Lake parts, but those CPUs are mighty powerful and offer strong productivity and gaming performance, making them worthy options for new system builders.įor those of you who disagree with our recent 5800X3D assessment, here's a 5800X3D vs 7600X head to head which should present a lot of interesting data points. In that feature, to the dismay of many, we largely overlooked the 5800X3D, as we don't feel investing in AM4 right now is the right move when spending more than $300 on a CPU.Īs good as AMD's AM4 platform is, unless you're already on it or are looking at budget builds, it makes no sense investing heavily on it at this point. We recently put together our updated CPU buying guide that focused on both platform upgrades and complete system builds. Today we're taking the fan favorite Ryzen 7 5800X3D and comparing it head to head with the new Ryzen 5 7600X in over 50 games. ![]()
