AMD also released a Ryzen 9 7900, this 65W non-X model offers absolutely beautiful performance and temperatures. Next to the 7700, this actually might become a best seller in the current Ryzen 7000 product stack.

The 5800X3D as a "CPU" -gaming = very poor MT performance. I would still have the 7900 over the 5800X3D after a good ram kit and OC will finish it off nice. I only stayed on intel because I like lower latency and I play at 1080p and 1440p way more than 4k. But yes, if just gaming and you are on AM4 a 5800 would be no brainer I agree.
More expensive than a 5800X3D with lesser 4K performance, that's progress right there.

A decent solution for lower cost video encoding i spose, just a shame that any saving on your electricity bill are lost on the MOBO and RAM prices.
12 cores & 24 threads 5.4GHz @ only 65w is pretty impressive...

5800X3D is £350, the AM5 RAM kit and MOBO is how much if you want decent OCing. And that 65W is an AMD 65W, they have been making up the power draw on their CPUs for years.

Yes, and decent DDR5 isnt cheap either.
5800X3D is £350 right now, even if somebody sold their AM4 system and went for an R9 7900 they are paying much more for the AM5 MOBO/RAM for little if any bump in performance.
I would suggest either sticking with a 5800X3D system and using the cash to jump a GPU level or hang on for the 7***X3D series, if you are going to throw cash at AM5 then at least see a noticeable (hopefully) jump in performance.
Every day that purchase of a 5800X3D is looking better and better. These CPUs wouldn't seem so bad if it weren't for the atrocious motherboard prices. The cost of an AM5 system is just too much.
