If you're willing to fork out a little bit more and aren't restricted to an AM4 processor, I'd suggest taking a look at the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X for $350 here: https://slickdeals.net/f/16684520-amd-ryzen-9-7900x-unlocked-desktop-processor-350-free-shipping?src=SiteSearch

I suppose it is application dependent, but, unless I am mistaken, if sticking to AM4, the 5800x3D wipes the floor with all other AM4 procs (and most AM5) for gaming. Price for that proc is in this same area (or cheaper).

Depends on the game really.
The regular 5800X goes nuts on clock-dependent games like older Unity stuff.

Does this depend on the motherboard I use ? I have the B450 gaming plus with Ryzen 5 2600x

Yes. Make certain your motherboard supports the newer processors. Often, there is a bios update required and that is about it.

There was a chart somewhere from AMD showing chipsets and corresponding AM4 processors allowed.

I have an "ancient and budget" (2015/16?) mobo that just cannot support these latest processors, so I am making the jump to AM5 despite the higher cost. I suspect the vast majority of current AM4 users will have much newer stuff than me and be just fine though.

Fair point....like everything related to computers (or anything I guess), application of interest matters.

I play only a handful of games, and am casual at that, so an extra 5 FPS here and there doesn't attract me (much).

My largest use case is single-threaded software. I have 64GB ram (which most people say is NUTS and "unnecessary")...but I still sit around 85%+ utilization on that memory most days.

I have had to come to the realization that benchmarking is only good so far as it applies to your own use case....and, even then, the silicon lottery is real as well.

I saw a nexus gamer review of the 7600/7600x yesterday (yeah, it was from months ago) wherein it stated PBO doesn't do much of anything for the 7600. Other reviews show a hefty performance increase bringing the PBO 7600 up to the stock 7700x performance. I saw another 7600 "silicon lottery" video testing 13 procs and illustrating the large variance in product performance.

....and, at this point, I (we) have all spent more time thinking about the slight increases in performance than it is worth to spend the extra few bucks to get the next step up proc

Well, that is still the AM4 platform....so, basically, an end of life platform that will not be upgraded at all in the future. By the time (even a year from now) that you look to upgrade, you'll ONLY be looking at AM5.

People are looking at these AM4 processors either A) if they have an AM4 motherboard that can support the proc (and ram to go with it) or B) if they are very cost sensitive and want a build that will last 3~5 years before upgrading to what will then likely be the end of the AM5 platform.
