The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz Eight-Core AM4 Processor is a powerful eight-core processor with 16 threads, designed for socket AM4 motherboards. Built with Zen 2 architecture, the third-generation 7nm Ryzen processor offers increased performance compared to its predecessor. It has a base clock speed of 3.6 GHz and can reach a max boost clock speed of 4.4 GHz. Moreover, it features 32MB of L3 cache, 24 PCIe Gen 4 lanes, and support for dual-channel 3200 MHz DDR4 RAM. Users should pair it with an AMD X500-series motherboard to fully take advantage of PCIe 4.0. This processor has a 65W TDP (Thermal Design Power) and includes a Wraith Prism cooler with RGB LED lighting. Please note that it does not have an integrated GPU, so a dedicated graphics card is required.

Not bad considering this comes with a wraith prism fan that's not bad tbh. I would probably choose this over the 5600x atm. Extra 2 cores will probably age a bit better.

$130 more, or a roughly 50% higher price isn't exactly a little more to jump to the 5000 series. The 3000 series is a great option if someone has a budget but doesn't want to sacrifice performance or core count.
Back to the same price exactly one year later
For productivity and multi tasking, the 3700x > 5600, and 3900 > 5800. If you game, then yeah go 5 series. But that's not everyone.

Why is this FP? I got this a year ago for $260 which also included AC Valhalla...Love how AMD is turning around doing exactly what Intel was doing prior years lol
Have you been in a coma the last year?

Ryzen 5 3600 was $150 last year. Thanks for a pandemic.
That's when I bought mine. Prices are terrible during the start, middle and end of pandemic and continue to be horrible. Slickdeals should temporarily change the name to halfasseddeals.net. I'm not blaming them, just saying how are we supposed to post anything for anyone that comes to this site when there are literally NO slickdeals. Waiting for normal to happen again. I wonder how long it will take. Frown

A deal is a deal only in context. Just because it's a bad deal based on a market two+ years ago, doesn't mean it's a bad deal anymore. The market might never return to what it was pre-pandemic.

Just purchased this for 170 used, probably sold by the same people wondering why this is FP. If there's a need, buy it. Otherwise wait...although you may be waiting a while.

Somehow, your one-time "deal" dictates if it should be FP or not? How many of them out there are sold at $170?

"I bought one at $170 from a hobo down the street, why is this FP?"

Amazing how AMD can continue to sell a 2+ year old architecture at 1.5-2x what it should be, because they have such a lead in foundries and caught Intel napping.

With Zen3+ cancelled, they will keep making money until Alder Lake, and then they just need to lower prices slightly to again compete.

I think this holiday season, which is not that far away, is going to be real interesting. Now is not a good time for a high end cpu purchase at all.
