Good for you, glad to hear you have a target price in mind and are sticking to it!

Looking at Ryzen 9 3900x on eBay, New condition, lowest buy it now price is $350.

Hope this processor is still fashionable fast when you eventually get it for sub-$300.

That $32.49 difference in savings over the Prime deal on July 13th will have been well worth it.

I caved and got a 5900x price matched with Amazon from Best Buy for $360 will pair nicely with the 3080ti I was able to pick up on swappa for $675. Upgrading from a 2700x and 3060ti

Quote from TurtlePerson2 :
I had a top-of-the line 2010 CPU from AMD that I just replaced this year. While it was fast enough to run games well for several years, I ran into trouble starting in the late 2010s with an AVX instruction that games started to require and which wasn't implemented by AMD until 2011. I think the moral of my story is that it's best to buy mid-range twice as often rather than high-end.

The 5600X outperformed the 3900X. So you have to ask yourself what price the 7600X will launch at. It's really tough to justify a 5900X on a dead platform when you can have the midrange of the new platform for the same price in a few months.
Is "top of the line", mean that horrendous AMD FX platform? Those were gimped to begin with.

Personally I avoid being an early adopter of a new release of hardware that involves a new socket and/or processor architecture
Early Ryzen had issues, and AMD mobos were not something manufacturers usually keyed on
People had to do all the Samsung B die nonsense for ram
The AM4 and 5000 series cpus are tight - the peaks of the AM4 series
Where my x470 and 2600 could have mystery crashes, my 5900x and x570 Tuf Pro run like butter
5900x and x570/.B550 aren't obsolete by any stretch.
The 3900x never got cheap and right now costs more than the 5900x
12 cores for 360 is pretty good - I never saw the 3900x for that and its 455 om Amazon right now
Extra cores do things in games that fps dont convey
Avoiding top priced items is wise but this is cheap and the 7000 series will cost a lot and be buggy

picked up a 5950x for $499 just 2 days ago on newegg. These prices are insane. The PC Sector in general has excess inventory. AMD is trying to boost revenue before Q2 2022 results get posted. Every other PC part manufacturer has seen huge earnings per share drops and their stock has plummeted. (Intel, Nvidia, Micron)

This is sound advice for life in general, and applies to a wide range of products, most notably cars. I agree, no need to rush into a new platform, especially when you can get a deal like this. I bought this 5900x on prime day to replace a 3900x. Literal drop in. You wouldn't think there would be much gains but the minimum fps in games got a huge, noticeable boost.

It was actually $334 during the prime day couple of weeks ago which I missed .
$332 actually. Combined with the the added 1% (for 6% cashback total) I ended up walking away with it for 312. No complaints at all. Thing is a beast. Passmark scores the same as Intel's super overpriced $500 12900 that also uses twice the energy

That's not how it works lol. Everything from July 1 onward is Q3. None of the sales will be reflected in Q2 earnings. Q2 results will largely be BAU since the good sales didn't start until July, of course it doesn't really matter to AMD since they aren't the retailer and these sales are mainly from retailers and not manufacturer rebates...

Reliable experts been predicting trouble sooner or later (maybe a blockade)
Whatever cpus/gpus people want, waiting a year or two might not be the best path

Its helpful because chuckle-head said it would take years to drop below $300 and that is not the case. This guy gave useful information that it already dropped once. It is useful to myself and I'd think the other dude who also wants to wait for a sub $300 price.
tl cant read
This chip is a likely go for sub $300 soon enough

Some real wankers here

i agree we may very well see this go to $300. there is massive inventory issues right now in retail and electronics due to companies overestimating demand + inflationary pressures eating into consumers' budgets. hold the line!

How would sales in August impact AMD Q2 reporting? It is not that immediate. There is a gap of weeks after a quarter closes before being reported.

Very normal temps for these according to AMD. AMD says sustained load can get to 90c. I reused my Noctua NH-U12S Redux with the optional second fan.

While benching Passmark temps at first got to 81, but once full load happened the CPU fan kept it at 66-75 even at all-core 4.4-4.7ghz.
