I bit on that deal because my aging 3700x was struggling to keep up with davinci resolve. What an enormous upgrade that turned out to be! Just extended my AM4 system another few years.

That's a pretty huge plus for anyone with a weaker AM4 cpu. I'm about to upgrade my old R5 3600 system to a 5950X and it's going to be basically plug and play (I already has a 240 AIO) and its going to be a huge upgrade for 5yo machine.
I still can't fathom how intel gets away with needing a new motherboard pretty much every upgrade you make.

I'm gonna say no. The 5900X beats the passmark for the 13600kf handily in multi threaded applications (and why wouldn't it, it has 4 more threads and unlike the intel it is an actual 12 core and not a 6 core with 8 garbage cores). Single core performance is slightly better on the 13600kf but largely irrelevant at this level anyways.

Wow this is getting slick. There was also the AMD 5950x for $310 over Presidents' Day. Hoping we get those below $300 soon

Great price, definitely worth it if you have an older CPU in an AM4 board.

It would depend on what you're using it for mainly. If mainly for gaming, I would go with 5800x3d. In my opinion 5700x is decent for gaming. I have both 5700x and 5900x. 5900x needs a lot more cooling obviously. Good luck.

IMO, they shoulda dropped prices faster (i.e. - a year ago). These systems are aging out.

I am hoping for this too. I have a feeling that if the price of the CPU's are too low and instead of liquidating for low prices, stores just send them back and sell them to other countries. Not sure if this is true or not. The Ryzen 3000 cpu's has been sitting in microcenter stores but then disappeared to make room for the newer ones.

Would be for gaming. I'll take a look at a 5800x3d. I'm running a 240mm aio so cooling shouldn't be an issue.

You should try an Intel chip.... This is tame in comparison.

That's what I'm currently running. Anything I should know to get it to work or should it just drop in and run? No BIOS issues? Mine is an old, cheap HP desktop.
