Going from a 5800x3D to this will not provide a huge increase in performance. You got a good CPU already. AMD will most likely have a 9th gen x3D CPU soon. Then maybe?
7900X3D and 7950X3D identical in performance? That's not what I'm hearing from everyone else. Those processors are inferior to the 7800X3D in gaming performance while being better for productivity. The number of cores on the X3D is less on those processors than the 7800X3D because 8 cores are bundled together on the 7800 version while the 7900 has to split its cores to two sets of 6 cores each making it inferior in gaming to the 7800X3D. The other poster got it right, the 800X3D versions of the processors is what gamers prefer. The 600 and 700 are inferior versions and are discounted heavily because they don't sell as well (cheaper doesn't make them better than the 800X3D)
Youll need a new AM5 motherboard and DDR5 RAM. Not worth it for gaming.

The 7900x3D is the black sheep of the lineup. Dual CCD makes the X3D v-cache a mess to deal with. If you need high performance multi-thread + high performance gaming then get a 13900k/14900k or 14700k, if you only care about gaming then get a 7800x3D.

Is this really a good deal after you factor in a good x series Motherboard and ddr5 that isn't garbage. I have a 5800x3D

It's a good deal but you would be waisting money because your existing CPU is good for almost anything.

Gamers usually prefer *800x3d processors, they are the fastest. 5800/7800/9800x3d.

This processor is incredibly niche, even as substantial discounts make it the least expensive Ryzen 9 7000 (and least expensive Ryzen 7000 x3d). I chose it for a budget-conscious build prioritizing quietness and specced for nonprofessional productivity.

Well that's not true. 5600x3d and 5700x3d beat 5800x3d in value (at historical lows and msrp). The 7950x3d is faster than the 7800x3d in productivity tasks, identical performance (depending on core scheduling) to 7800x3d in gaming tasks, the 7900x3d does lose to the 7800x3d but at $310 (and you have a microcenter), it may tie the 7800x3d in value for gaming, may beat it for value if you want better speeds outside of gaming.

And lol you're speculating on the 9800x3d class which aren't even out? In that case I'll throw in the 5900x3d and 5950x3d to be faster than the 5800x3d.

edit: jeeeeeesus this mitya kid. ah well.

You already have a 5800x3d. Seems like a waste to me. I would love to upgrade to a 5800x3d myself. I have a 2600x from like 5 years ago and it seems everything pretty good.

I didn't say the 7900x3d > 7800x3d (or mean to say). My point anyways is just money has everything to do with why gamers like the 7800x3d over the other 7000x3d's. People that are blindly recommending the 7800x3d over the 7900x3d are doing so, well, blindly. They're following the opinions of gamers when the 7900x3d was $600 and the 7800x3d was $450, not when the 7900x3d is cheaper than the 7800x3d at historical low.

And that's what I feel like why you're saying the 5800x3d is better than the 600 and 700. Those opinions are "outdated". At MSRP they may not be as good but have you seen the sales? $160 for 5600x3d micro-center exclusive, $200 for 5700x3d but $270 for the 5800x3d. No way you can tell me the 5800x3d is good value vs that, especially when the 5000x3d may be seen more as just a placeholder/slot-in upgrade for AM4 users until the AM5 motehrboards/CPUs get cheaper. 5700x3d and 5600x3d are akin to down-binned 5800x3d's, no way you're losing close to $70 worth of performance.

this is a huge upgrade. plus you'll be ready when you upgrade the gpu.

but you'll need a new motherboard, it's why I went to a 5800x3d a while ago

So you're answering a question no one asked? By doing so you're just waisting my time, try to be helpful where help is needed.
