If you are playing games get a 5800X3D. If you're doing productivity work, get a 5900X

I have had one since it first came out. Love this processor. Agreed if gaming is your priority, get the 5800x3d - trades blows with the top processors even in the next generation in terms of gaming.

In my personal use I need a strong gamer as well as a strong worker. I don't feel shorted at all in terms of gaming and i have 24 threads on tap. runs cool and quiet under a 2x140mm radiator.

Why no drop to the all time low of $274?

What if you run a dedicated graphic card for transcoding?
That'll work, but uses more power, and some cards are limited to two concurrent streams.

Many of you say, "i need it for productivity," but when 90% of your so called productivity is Microsoft office, pdf, chrome / edge, and some other stuff

IMO go with Intel if using Plex. The difference with QuickSync for transcoding is huge.
This.

The AMD series is good for gamers, especially casual gamers who can benefit from X3D.

However, if you're doing anything else that can benefit from multiple cores (including "while gaming" with chrome, firefox and other apps "doing things" like discord or streaming) then the AMD will drop off in terms of performance as they'll cap out on the parallel threads that will be run by the OS.

If you match the CPU for gaming, don't forget to match the mobo for memory, m.2 and other performance. If you're still on SATA or DDR4, then the mobo will matter less. But if you're wanting DDR5, pushing 8000mhz and a m.2 gen 5 to run Win 11 and direct storage, then you're going to want a newer (and more expensive) mobo.

Well I guess I'm in the minority then. Heavy 4k video rendering leaves me wanting as many cores as I can get! That's why I'm holding out for the sub-$400 5950x

Amazon matching. Nice!

Remember, these exact chips undervolt to 65 watts with little performance drop. Just enable "eco mode" on any updated BIOS. Sips power, air cool easily, whisper quiet, but has 12 cores ready to spool up for video editing or 3D cad etc
