I remember earlier in the year when this thing was dropping $10 every week... I see we settled here at $140.

It's not a bad CPU for those still stuck on AM4 and can't snag a 5700x3d at a decent price....

Crazy to think a year ago you could get legit 5700x3d on Ali Express for like $115 - $130 all day long

Main issue is that a jump to 7000 / 9000 series isn't just a CPU change but also motherboard and RAM.

With that said, 9600x is pretty comparable / slight uplift over 5800xt

speed wise it's 5%. but workload wise like data processing, video editing it's much more capable.

I will say that Amazon had this for $130 in February - this is the first drop since then and who knows when/if that's coming back so thought I'd still share this for anyone needing/shopping now.

I have a 5600... just checked the 5800XT and it has just 5% more performance or so. What's the next leap one would make? Are the 9000 series really that big of a jump?

Thanks for posting this OP Smilie

I looked it up and.. well there were a lot of differing opinions on the internet as far as whether the included wraith cooler is good enough to cool the CPU .. say if you're a PC gamer for example.

I've been happy with the performance of my $35 plus tax Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE cooler but you'd have to check the space/size in your PC case to make sure that it fits and I had to elevate one of the fans slightly above the heat sink on the CPU (so it's jutting slightly over the heatsink as compared to what I'm guessing is the ideal "in line 100 percent with the heatsink for maximum heat dispersal) to make room because my ram/memory sticks would otherwise have been in the same "space" as the fan if that makes sense (comes with two fans if I recall correctly bought it a while ago Stick Out Tongue ) ... I've been using it for my AMD Ryzen 5 5600X processor which I'm guessing would generate less heat (I think? Since it's less powerful?) than the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT but the few reddit results I found online seem to think it would work for the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT too.

I'm hoping wiser heads than mine will chime on on if the included wraith cooler is okay or if you need a better one Smilie .. and also what thermal paste you should buy if you get a cpu cooler other than the wraith one bundled with it (I used arctic MX4 thermal paste back in February 2023 when I installed my CPU and the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE cooler but the ARCTIC MX-6 is the same price now and.. I would presume slightly better?)

I bought mine for nearly $300 without a cooler. The fact this comes with a cooler makes it a solid deal. 👌

If you're still on AM4 this is a great CPU to pair with something like an Arc B580 card.

I used the wraith with the 5700x. It's pretty great for a stock cooler but better coolers are cheap.

the wraith prism is more than capable for this

It may be only 5% faster single threaded performance but the big difference would be 8 cores instead of 6. What the biggest leap would be depends on what you are looking for. For single threaded performance a 9000 series would be the best upgrade IMO. Depending on what it is the 9800x3D might offer quite a bit of extra performance.

If you need more multithreaded performance you could go up to a 16 chip core like the 5900xt on AM4 or move up to one of the AM5 versions.

the 5800xt is slightly faster than the 7600 and has two additional cores, but is far less efficient. you dont see it talked about much because it was ridiculously overpriced at launch and was panned and then ignored by all the tech channels.
