We're currently in a router price exodus. Kinda like GPUs.

Seems like a lower end option for replacing a AC5300 though since its a 4x4 design vs a 2x2 design, even though the performance of the AX3000 would be a big upgrade, this has a better CPU and pretty similar ram setup.
Trying to find a reason on why not to do it, but honestly nothing coming to mind, worth trying.

Thanks for your feedback.
EDIT: So it looks like this newer model has a worse processor (tri-core 1.5GHz vs the AX5300 quad-core 2GHZ.) However is has double the RAM as the AX5300 (1GB vs 512MB,,)
Thanks for your feedback.
The later release has a better A53 1.8 BCM 4908 quad which is still currently being used on modern "high end" routers. Only the GT-AX6000 has the next gen processor on a smaller node.
AX radios, especially this one have a faster clock rate @ 1.5ghz while the old Wave 2 radios run at 800mhz, though to be fair ASUS's stuff is faster than other brands.
It's not really a tri core FYI. ASUS marketing sucks when it comes to real comparative specs, but we can blame broadcom on that.
Config on this one is a tri core SoC which factors the radio processor. In reality it's a dual core A7 + 2 radio processors.
The better version of AC5300 is quadcore A53 + 3 radio processors.
With that said, performance depends on environment and channel selection. I have a GTAC2900 that out performs an AXE10000 on channel 161 Unii-3, but its weaker on Unii-1. That's with an AX200 client.

The ASUS RT-AC5300 is a dualcore 1.4Ghz and it has 512MB RAM and 128MB Flash compared to this which is weird tricore 1.5Ghz and it has 512MB RAM and 256MB Flash.
You were not specfic which AC5300 you had so I even checked on the GT-AC5300 and yes that one indeed has a quad-core 1.8Ghz processor and 1Gig of RAM and 256MB of Flash.
So depending on which of the AC5300 you have if its the RT version this would be a good upgrade over all. If its against the GT (ROG VERSION) that does get extremely trickier because even with newer components in this, the older GT should still be able to out multi task and in general hold together the AiMesh better just in my opinion. If the stats on the GS-AX3000 and their performance tests were better I would say try it out, but against the GT I think long term it would not hold up as well if you add a lot of devices.

The radios on this new model are weaker from a general aspect, but they could perform better due to a full 1w power output on unii-1.
RT-AC5300 only peaks 681mW on lower spectrum. Does full 997mW on unii-3.
This router GS-AX3000 does full 1W on both, but the radio is a weaker 2x2 design.
Like I said I have a $100 GT-AC2900 outperforming a $500+ USD AXE11000 (Both 4x4) on certain channels due to my environment. WIFI isn't static.
