Reposting a slight edit of my comment from the Newegg thread:
Good deal but if you're looking for an AM4 upgrade for gaming purposes you're better off opting for the 5700X3D as the 3D cache usually results in higher average FPS and better 1% lows. 5800X will beat it slightly in productivity tasks. 5700X3D price has been coming down and you can usually find it on AliExpress for around $150 if you want to take on the small risk of being without a consumer warranty and don't need the stock cooler.
No, not really. I mean it's an upgrade, but not worth it coming from the 3700x. If you're a gamer, look at the 5700x3d, which is a WILD upgrade over the 3700x for gaming. if you're not a gamer and care about MT, look at the 5900x or 5950x, which will be absurd upgrades in multi threaded performance.But as someone who came from the 3700x to the 5700x(prior to the 5700x3d existing, and when the 5800x3d was still like $400+), I wish I had known about the coming existence of the 5700x3d, because I would have held off and went with that instead.
So the 5700x3d would be better than the 5800x only for gaming? what about 3d modeling? and do any of these have igpu? I can't afford a gpu atm.
Thanks in that case I'll wait for 5700x3d or 5900x. I heard you have to undervolt these chips to run cooler . Might wait for new platform build.
Using the same 240mm AIO, my 5900x runs about 10-15C hotter than my old 5600x. It's also not as stable using the xmp profile with 4000 ram for some reason.
Big time upgrade yeah. Zen3 over zen 1 hugely faster single core performance and multi core is pretty significantly upgraded. Just upgrade your motherboards bios before you install it.
Not a meaningful upgrade. Like 3-5% is not worth upgrading over. Plus you would lose integrated graphics.
But the 5700x3d deal on Newegg for 195 with the included Corsair memory kit is a better deal. Flip the memory kit and it's like a 145$ with way better gaming headroom performance.

So the 5700x3d is about 3-5% worse than the 5800x. And about 10% slower in single core performance.
But the 3D v cache in certain physics workloads is off the charts. But generally speaking if your doing video editing and blender your not gonna see that performance increase. That's why this chip is awesome for gaming. But I ended up going with the X3D instead of the 5800x mainly because the included memory kit made it a better deal, and I do play some games that are very multi core threaded intensive.
Non of these have an iGPU unfortunately. But check craigslist or FB market place for a GTX 1060 or something like that for less than 100$

It's for my brothers build, but he still has GTX 1080 8gb.
Assuming even with R7 1700, it's the bottleneck?
Would 5800x do much for fps?

lol, why would I spend a good amount of money on a good AIO for a $120 CPU? My old 5900x worked fine with a $25 Thermalright air cooler.

the Ryzen 5800x uses about 61% more power, so I would assume roughly 60% more performance. However, you get an increase of 35%, instead.
I'm curious about why that would be the case?
