camel says this is approx normal price at amz. trending down slowly.

I'd rather pay $10 more to not deal with the newegg. I do not have a high opinion of them.

Let's hope that the trend is indeed starting to slide in the consumer's favor! Processors have been hovering at the same $$ for quite some time now (it seems). Maybe late spring/early summer will see a dip.

....we can hope, right?

As for this "deal"....

The problem I see with this deal is that the 5900x is an interior product to the 7700 (non x) which has a much lower power draw. Perhaps even to the 7600 (which is $100 cheaper)!?! However, both of those 7000 series procs are AM5, so require costlier mobo/ram.

The 5800x3d (AM4) will wipe the floor with the 5900x in gaming though. The x3d is probably a little slower in single threaded applications, but can be had for the same price.

I'm not sure this is much of a deal.

5800x3d is actually slower by a little to the 5900x even in the 1% low for some games but in other it is ahead by 10-15% in others. 5900x paired with 4080 for productivity and 5800x3d paired with 4080 for gaming. it is hard to tell and "wipe the floor with" is not entirely accurate. for normal day to day stuff, the 5900x is a little more "quick" but not really too noticeable.

Been debating on "upgrading" my 5900x to a 5800x3d since I primarily game. Thoughts?

probably worth it if you can break even on the purchase if you just game. If you play a lot of VR or Unoptimized games, the 5800x3d will be better. optimized non vr games, they are similar ...5900x comes ahead in many of those but just barely. overall if you just game it is worth it if you can pay for most of the 5800x3d with the 5900x

Would this be good for the next few years for gaming, productivity, and general use?

I'd use a gpu such as a 4070ti, 4080, 6750xt, 6800xt, or 6950xt.

I still have an am4 motherboard. Asus x570 Tuf.

I've thought about just building a new 7900x build.

Of course, every term needs a little clarity, I should have offered some. Smilie

I suspect you and I are looking at the same benchmarking sites (here's a nice breakdown at Tom's Hardware [tomshardware.com]).

I probably should have simply said: 5800x3d will give you a higher performance (at the same price or less) than this 5900x in most multi-threaded gaming applications, but may not outperform in single-threaded gaming/non-gaming applications.

Since the 5800x3d has been $300 recently, I would call that the slicker of the two deals.

Of course, if you live near a Microcenter and need a full rig, the combo deals they have now on the 7700x and 7900x (might be oos, so YMMV at this point since they have been up for weeks) really put these newegg deals to shame.

Also, for any interested, it looks like tomorrow's "deal of the day" from newegg will include the 5800x3d. Not sure how much they'll give off the current price of $326. I'd expect $10, but hey, it's something. That would put the 5800x3d at the same price as this 5900x deal. Free deal for someone to post Smilie

used 5900x are pretty diet cheap. 200 to 225. 5800x3d used is still kinda pricey solid deal for new thouh
