If you are still rocking an AM4 AMD motherboard for a few more years and have some DDR4 ram you like this is an amazing upgrade on a budget.
This is also $5 cheaper than a Front-Page deal from 2 months ago.
To use this coupon code you have to be a Newegg+ member but it is free right now and you can join in 1 minute and then use this.
Just make sure you backup your harddrive, take a look at settings in your BIOS and make sure the BIOS you are on can run this. I would upgrade to your latest BIOS but that is just me.
This is 12 core and 24 threads in a socket platform that has been out since 2016!

Check the performance for your intended use case. For example, gaming, almost no difference from 5600X to 5900X.
But for workstation work it can be 2x as fast.

Responsiveness, which I see as the true barometer of a fast computer, is greatly improved on an 12-16 core system. At very high refresh rates you can feel a slower or bogged down CPU.
I can't tell the difference between a 5900x and a 7950x as long as both have NVMe storage.

Also if you play any games like beamNG drive, and do any multi player or many cars, every car on the screen uses a thread. I've heard of guys with rtx 4090 get close to the same frame rate that my puny ryzen 5 3600 was doing because they were also running a similar level cpu and could only handle so many cars on the screen.
So just depends on the tasks your doing. Double cores and threads will make a substantial upgrade.
42500 passmark with mild undervolt. 41000 passmark stock. I also use it for video editing, that's where the 24 threads really pay the bills.
If you have a microcenter they have a 7800x3d, mobo and 32gb ddr deal for 470(?) Right now though, it might be worth looking into that. This still has better passmark due to more cores but the 7800x3d would obviously do better in games

And of course there's plenty more applications and use cases where having more cores is a must.
Isn't that a dead platform though? Isn't intel coming with new motherboard type soon for 15 gen
Am4 is dead already and can't take advantage of DDR5, etc.
Gotcha, I didn't see your original post. You're right, this is definitely an upgrade within am4 type of deal.
