Much better than the ridiculous $300 5800X3D price. Anyone having AM4 thinking of upgrading to 5800X3D should sell it to offset the costs and go with this instead. At least that's what I'd do.

Bundles like this make the value proposition much better than retail. Outside of this the chip doesn't really make sense.

7700x3d is a lower binned 7800x3d apparently. Roughly 5-10% performance difference. Had to search for this since I didn't even know it existed before today.
lol was going to ask claude but it says the 7700x3d supposedly doesn't exist
I dont know if we should be happy that as of today, we can still prove that AI got it wrong. But 10 or 20 years from now, it will be much harder to prove AI got it wrong. On one hand, I wish AI would go bust but I also know that when it go bust, my 401K will go under. The feeling is so mixed.

It just came out today. And yeah 5% in 1080p gaming, closer at higher resolutions. If you're building a pc today this is a very reasonable deal, and add a 2nd stick of RAM when it goes under $100.
Terrible deal when you'll be capped at single channel. Adding another 16GB stick now would negate any savings. Today this 16GB stick will cost you $200 to $220. You may never find this exact memory module in the future, when DDR5 RAM prices may or may not lower. Save a little more and get a system with proper dual-channel.
What is with these 16GB lately16GB in bundles and in pre-builts
There is a chip shortage some say it was caused by AI. Add in the RAM companies collusion raising prices even more. Tech reviewers say gaming on 16GB is viable. If you think they are being hypocrites, they are not and the reason is when 16GB of ram cost 60 bucks and 32 was 90, the extra 30 was usually a good idea. Now that 16GB of ram is over 200 and 32 is over 400, the
equation has people saying 16 is good enough.
I guess gamers learned how to ration when prices are high!

I read somewhere that if you are really doing gaming, the X3D mitigates most of the single channel memory slowness so it's not as bad as it sounds.

Between the fact that this is x3D with the extra cache which helps cover for the lost bandwidth and that testing shows single CCD Zen 4 chips can't utilize the full memory bandwidth anyway (IF between the CCD and the I/O bottlenecks things) I doubt there is much difference. Do you have any actual benchmarks you can provide to show that there is a meaningful difference here or is this just a single channel = bad being repeated without context. Sure a dual 8gb kit would be better but it would drive the price up from what I can see and dual 16gb kit would definitely be much more expensive. It sucks but for the cheapest deals around single 16gb dimms is pretty common right now. If you can and want to spend more to get something better go ahead but you aren't going to find it at this price point.

There are some benchmarks out there on this.
