Quote from bob151 :
AMD is really sticking it up gamers.

This chip has already paid for itself; its engineering and development.

With the AI gpu and memory crunch they could have really gained a lot of goodwill in the PC gamers community if they had listed it at $199. People would be ecstatic to update at $150 their AM4 with 32GB ram to avoid the new PC AI premium gouge.

No R&D or marketing necessary for the 5800x3d, but AMD chose to go for the jugular. Fart the goodwill.
I read that they did have to do some engineering:

AMD finally reintroduced the Ryzen 7 5800X3D at Computex 2026, more than four years after it originally launched in a bid to combat rising DDR5 prices. Despite the re-release looking like a simple product spin-up, AMD's David McAfee, VP and general manager of Radeon and Ryzen, says that "a whole body of engineering work" went into the re-release, as the original bonding process TSMC used for the Ryzen 7 5800X3D was no longer available.

"It's not as simple as just bringing back the 5800X3D," McAfee said. "The original stacking process that was used at TSMC changed when we went from first-gen to second-gen cache, so we had to re-engineer that product, and there actually was a fair amount of development that went into bringing back the 5800X3D."

The Ryzen 7 5800X3D used TSMC's SoIC or System-on-Integrated-Chips hybrid bonding technology. It uses a combination of "hot" and "cold" bonding to marry two pieces of silicon together, which then share power with through-silicon vias (TSV). Fundamentally, this connection hasn't changed over the course of 3D V-Cache's existence, but it has evolved. With the move to Ryzen 7000, AMD had to make some changes to the 3D V-Cache design, which it then carried forward with Ryzen 9000.

also they are a business. Their goal isn't to break even so it doesn't matter if it "already paid for itself"

Tempting, but it's too expensive and at point where any money spent on AM4 is borderline a wasteful.
look at it this way: tuck that 300 dollars away toward your next build am5 build.

Quote from lukersmaster :
Looking at userbenchmark, 5800x3d vs the 5600x, it seems like only a slight upgrade. U would probably see higher frame rates in games though because of the bigger L3 cache in the 5800x3d. I think the computer you currently have is rock solid and I personally wouldn't change a thing for a while. That is, unless you really feel like dropping 300+ on this!
i have the 5700x3D and i dont think 350 is worth the upgrade...

Right now, $300 may not even pay for the RAM on an AM5 build. I believe the main purpose of this is for those with existing components.

It also gives AMD and option if DDR5 prices continue to rise at a much faster rate than DDR4. At some point it might actually become a better value for someone to purchase an entirely new AM4 system than an AM5 one, simply due to memory pricing and/or shortages. If DDR5 becomes an impractical option for consumers, AMD will have CPUs you can purchase.

Got mines from Amazon for $180 2 years ago. Now its garbage compared to the newer processors.

Sadly, the nearest Micro Center is a 4-hour drive for me. Highly envious of anyone who lives close enough to just go grab this

After seeing 7800X3D performance, and money not being a huge issue I might just go AM5. I mean I know the RAM situation but all I need is new MOBO/CPU/RAM/GPU, so why not just spend the extra $400 and go AM5 at this point

I am not sure what RAM and HDD prices will be in a year, or even 2 and do not care, just gonna do it, and sleep like a baby

it still workswithout a cpu on the mobo then it's useless too just cause something is released it doesn't automatically downgrade what is currently present

Considering USED 5800x3d's were selling for $400-$500 on eBay, this is quite a deal.

So I guess the DDR4 support is the only selling point? the 7800x3d is the same price at Microcenter and much more capable.
But upgrading is much more costly

Deal is relative to the current market. This might not be a "Deal" for you but this is certainly a good price for someone who is on 32gb - 64gb of ram and doesnt want to pay an arm and a leg for DDR5. I have a PC with 5600G and 32gb of ram, and it's a huge upgrade for that PC.

Definitely not garbage, I think you might be confused.
