It is basically the same price as 5700X now. I think this is a good price for someone who wants to upgrade an existing AM4 system for not a lot of money.

For gaming, the 5800X3D is quite a bit better in many games but it is also a lot more expensive.

Yes. I think so.

Hardware unboxed has recent benchmarks of both for you to compare.

If you pair the 5800x3d with 32GB of ram and a good video card, you should be set for several years of gaming on very high settings/resolution. It will breathe plenty of life into an AM4 system.

If you're largely gaming, you'll want the x3d version instead. My 3900x is comparable to the 5800x non-3d, but the 5800x3d variant shows as much as a 50% improvement in many games.

It's worth about 15-20fps depending on how good your GPU is

Well when the 5800x3d is 180$ I think your argument is valid. Not everyone can spring an extra 150$

This makes more sense if your ryzen first gen or ryzen 5 3600 at the most. Its only a 10-15% improvement over the 3700x.

The real improvement is in single thread performance which is more of a day to day opening tasks and photoshop is where that will be seen but not so much in gaming.

I would argue if someone wants an upgrade over a 3700x, perhaps look used on ebay or something for a 3900x 12 core for about 200

Think the better money is on a video card than a processor until these AMD chips get competitive. They're a little proud of these prices still for some reason.

If you don't want to spend the extra money to upgrade to 7800X3D with new MoBo and DDR5 RAM which will cost around $800+ then the 5800X3D is the best upgrade from a 3700X because you'll get between 100% to 200% faster framerates in gaming. I did that exact upgrade path on an ASUS X570 motherboard and I went from 40FPS to between 80-120FPS in most games, and the lowest benefit I got in some tasks was 60% increase. The next best upgrade is the 5800X but its gaming performance boost will only be half of what the X3D variant will give you so if you really can't spend the extra $100 for the X3D variant then the regular 5800X is your best bet right now since it is the same price as the 5700X. Gamers Nexus onYouTube explains this in great detail with lots of tests in multiple videos so you can see exactly what performance difference you can expect with dozens of different popular games using 1080p, 1440p, and 4K resolutions with multiple different quality settings too.
