AMD Ryzen 9 5950X is now at its lowest price ever - just over 600 bucks
It seems AMD's retail partners have dropped the price of the R9 5950X in recent days, providing even more motivation to go the Ryzen route.
This price cut puts the 16-cores and 32-threaded CPU on nearly the same financial footing as the Core i9-12900K (8 perf cores and 8 energy-efficient cores / 24 Threads). We feel AMD's price is now correct, given the Zen 3-powered Ryzen 9 5950X has no further upgrade route. The Ryzen 7000 Series will launch on a new platform dubbed as Socket AM5, whereas Intel will reuse LGA1700 for forthcoming Raptor Lake Core i9s, albeit with a probable microcode and BIOS upgrade to enable existing 600 series motherboards.
Because Intel is moving to a new socket and prefers the 12900K to be coupled with pricey DDR5 memory, platform considerations and memory options play a role in the overall decision, and at 610 EUR / 38 bucks per core it might just hit a certain sweet spot. Please note that we're seeing ~10% drops on other Ryzen processors also.

Doing the same thing here. I too have a 5800x that serves me well and I could snag a 5950x. But I am thinking the 58003dx will do me more good than the extra cores at this point.
Im quite tempted by the 5900x for £400 but im going to hold off and see what the price 5800x 3d comes in at, given that im already running a 5800x with my rtx3070 and that already gives me solid vsync of 60fps... an extra 5-10 fps seems a bit of a pointless.

Same, however I have a 2700x. I say wait, it still has a way to go before it competes with Intel. Australian $:

This is a perfect example of competition and where both camps have pros and cons, and prices are coming down. I hope AMD and Intel are closely matched into the future.
I've never understood why fanboys want "their" team to be dominant....
