looking better for $420 vs $450. The 5800x exists (and the 5700x DOESN'T exist) entirely to raise AMD's average selling price. The 800 cpus are almost always a terrible value when a 700 8 core cpu exists. Not only did AMD raise prices with the 5000 series, they also removed the coolers from all but the 5600x, adding another $40+ to anyone who didn't already have one.

The 5800 is a great CPU, but the non-existent 5700, 5700x and 5800 all would have been much better value, and for that I will always hate it.

At $450, the jump to the 5900x and its 12 cores is relatively small (+$100), and I'm almost certain that was AMD's intent.

IMO, msrp should have been $400 (even if it sold for more because of supply v demand issues).

Also- as a Zen 3 owner, if I were in the market to build a new pc and didn't already have a compatible zen 3 motherboard, I'd be real tempted to go Intel right now. Gen 10 prices are pretty damn good and a total system build price would likely be lower than comparable quality AMD. Similar-enough performance and readily available. If you don't mind the 2x power usage

edited to fix a mistake about the 5800x's msrp
No it doesnt have overhearting issues. It doesn't come with a cpu cooler so you have to buy your own and if people aren't smart enough to put one on there then I suppose it CAN overheat (please put CPU coolers on).
Early on there was some issues. I believe a mixture of bios updates and people under volting them has fixed the issue. AMD was pushing too high voltage when they first launched.

Once properly setup, this thing is a beast and runs much cooler than Intel.

Quote from delijante :
Considering 5600x comes with a cooler, this should have been priced 349 to 375 from launch
Beside 5600x has cooler, I think someone in here pointed out the solution for heat issue (google 5800x and heat issue and you will find many info) is under volting which mean 5800x can't overclock as much as 5600x/5900x, etc(?). And everyone in all 5800x thread has pointed out the price/performance issue compare with other AMD 5000s CPUs. And also someone in another thread pointed out because of the heat issue which require better cooler and also increased in heat will cause 5800X to degrades faster. So 5600X/5900X run much cooler will degrades slower than 5800X. Meaning 5800X may not last as long as 5600X/5900X, etc. That's why there is multiple sales on 5800X already like microcenter and B&M store have this at $429 already for a long time and this is like the fouth week newegg has this onsale. And 5800X don't have as much stock problem compare to 5900X and others.

Look for a 10% bday coupon from bestbuy. Or start a new account to get one. Got the 5800x for round $400, where it shoulda been anyway.

Quote from MozartA :
So if you have to under volting to prevent heating issue, then I assume 5800x not only price/performance is not as good as 5600x and 5900x. Also it is not as good overclock as the others also? Which make the value/performance even worse for those may want to overclock in the future?
Well, on ryzen cpus under volting decreases the temp AND increases performance. So it isn't a performance hit, like it is for intel.

Overclocking the ryzen CPUs (any of them) is going to give marginal / minimal gains. Put ryzens on the precision boost overdrive and leave them - you won't get much of any real life benefit by doing a manual overclock except slightly higher synthetic benchmarks and much higher temperatures.

Overall, the 5800x is slightly worse price to performance but that's just because of the price per core - not the actual performance per core. On that basis - its actually the best of the three. In many applications that only use up to 8 cores - the 5800x actually bests the 5900x. (For instance, photoshop: https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs...ance-1956/ )

Quote from muchwow :
right now, unless you have a microcenter nearby, your chances of paying non scalper prices are pretty slim. my recommendation is to purchase a pre-built or at least wait until you acquire a gpu first (the hardest to get) and then get the rest around that.

i also wanted to add that since you don't know how long you'd be sitting on your components for, there are a couple downsides - prices may go down or new components may show up, and you may be sitting on brand new components that may be defective without you knowing. return window will close fast and you'd have to go through warranty.

Microcenter has become a scalper. They are currently listing the 5900x with an MSRP of $799 and are offering at a "sale" price of $699. They used to sell this cpu at the right MSRP of $549 just a few weeks ago.

If you pay for the cpu with B&H Payboo card, they instantly credit you for the tax.

I ended up replacing my i7 3770k with a 5600x for 300.

So I think that was a good upgrade for the money.

Gpu on the other hand, I might have to wait a year or 2 to get msrp values.
If you really think you will end up waiting that long anyways, go to EVGA right now and sign up to get auto-notified on all GPUs you might want. Yeah, it took basically 7 months (signed up last 10/29, according to my emails), but yesterday I got to order a 3070 without having to fight with the web site.

yes unfortunately MC also marks up some of their products. msrp is by definition a 'suggested' price, but in the end, supply & demand will prevail. we're not too used to seeing instances (especially in the pc market) where things are priced above msrp, but due to the extreme circumstances that we're living in, we're just seeing the other side of supply/demand that we don't usually do.

i'm not defending MC's behavior, but we're simply exhibiting the basic economic concept. this differs from the individual scalpers you see on ebay in that corporations have reputations to protect and financial targets to hit, so they're not as driven by pure greed as some individuals. you'll see that, for example, the 11600k is priced below msrp and it's only been out a month. that's because everyone wants the hot zen 3 chips and not the stale intel ones.

I respectfully disagree with you. What mc is doing is worse than scalers. Hear me out.

Mc buys the cpu for less than the $549 price. They make a profit when they sell the cpu at MSRP. Anything they charge over the MSRP is additional profit per cpu. If their cost went up due to supply and demand, I would understand the price increase, but this is not the case. They are just taking advantage of a bad situation for their customers to line their pockets. Isn't it price gouging when you increase your price when your cost has not increased? This is greed.

They are making a lot more money than scalpers because they pay less than 549 to buy the cpu and get to deduct their business costs. The scalpers buy at MSRP and markup the price, but they have to pay eBay and PayPal a cut.

The part that really bugs me is the random price they are passing as the regular price. It's not ethical to mark up a random number for the price of an item and give a discount off of that price to make customers think they are getting a good deal.

How do you know what they are paying? Are you sure they aren't buying grey market CPUs with higher prices? I wouldn't be surprised at all if grey market sellers are selling to MC for above the wholesale price.

5900x back to $549.99 on microcenter website must of got contacted by AMD.

Maybe the market is trying to tell AMD and all of us something a little different. Perhaps the MSRP for 5800X should be 400-450 range. 5800X are clearly selling well at these levels. But 5900X s/b ~600, since that seems to be the sweet spot for scalpers.

i have 2700x right now, would it be worthwhile upgrade to 5800x or 5900x? 5900 is hard to find Frown

I'm coming from a 3D rendering usage for these.

Quote from dwang98 :
Is now a good time to buy this? I want to build a system and my goal is to pair a 5800X with a RTX 3080. Considering that getting a RTX 3080 at this moment seems impossible, is it wise to buy the CPU now and wait for the graphic card to become available? My concern is that I could be sitting on the CPU for months and there might very well be a new CPU coming out before the graphic card situation improves.
That's my dilemma too. Trying to put together a new build (my first in almost 20 years), and of course I manage to do it right as a GPU shortage hits. I was already considering holding off until I can get a good GPU, otherwise, like you said, you may be sitting on parts for months before a GPU is available, in which case you lose your window of return should one of the parts you're sitting on is defective or price drops. So as much as I'd LOVE to get this right now, it just doesn't seem like a good plan. Best to devote that time and energy to securing a good GPU, THEN worry about getting the rest of the pieces to put it together.

Wouldn't buy 5800x unless gonna use it now. DDR5 is already announced which means newer motherboard and CPU coming out later this year.

GPU won't be instock at this rate for at least another year Crypto still going up and each 3000 series GPU pays for itself in few months.
