Is this really a deal? I'm currently on am4 and my pc is used for gaming and will be using it for some deep learning in the future. I wonder if I should upgrade to this or save up and buy an am5 cpu

It really depends on what type of a m four you have on your system. If you have a ryzen 2000 or 3000 series, it's a nice upgrade. If you have a 5000 series doubt, you would notice much of a difference. you may be on the deep learning or video editing, but most programs don't take advantage of the extra cores

Yeah, I'm currently rocking a Ryzen 5 3600 which I am starting to see bottlenecks with. Yeah I agree that other than deep learning it really has no benefits, but it is part of what I am doing on my computer so, I think I may jump on this deal despite the "dead" socket

The best price ever on Amazon for this CPU was $279, so yes it is a good deal. If you know you're going to stick with your AM4 platform for a while, it may be a worthwhile upgrade depending on your current CPU and goals.

This CPU and the slightly better (and more expensive) 5950X are the two top performers for AM4, so if you want to max out CPU performance this is it.

Any reason people don't offload their deep learning to the cloud? I have an older 18 core Xeon w/DDR4 machine I use for testing highly threaded stuff locally and a 12 core AM4 rig for gaming, but have recently dropped down to a macbook air for my daily coding/work and just start up a compute cluster to do heavy lifting tasks. I used to be obsessed with having hardware locally to do large code stuff, but adapted my workflow to pay like $5 here and there to test cloud workflows and then throw massive amounts of resources at it in the cloud at ad-hoc cost.

I don't mind offloading it but at some point I feel just buying the hardware is cheaper especially if I'm doing it frequently

Yeh , Iam going to wait and hope for a lower price at about $200 or so , as I may grab this to do a cheaper upgrade for now (on my 5900) vs dong a full system Ryzen 9900/9950 upgrade . BUT by then Ryzen 6 may be released , lol .

For a while, I did the same by buying a 2U server with tons of cores/RAM and a GPU and hosting it in a data center which was surprisingly cheap, but eventually you end up upgrading that machine too so I ultimately ended up downsizing and budgeting it out. Something like Rackspace Spot or AWS Spot Instances fills this void for me.
