I'll take a tasty 5800X3D if I can even find one but still looking forward to the 7x00X3D!

i regret not having gotten the 5800x3d on a crazy sale for 350$cad (before tax and shipping) ended up picking up a 5700x for 290$cad ill be skipping 7k most likely as this is already overkill for gaming imo heck the 3700x i had before it was plenty.

Those are some nice price cuts.
If the 5800X3D sells for 385 euros around here, I might pick one up.
I wonder when these prices will hit Europe.

eventually,yes

Just checked the prices here in Portugal.
The 5800X averages at 350€. But there is already one of them selling it for 280€, so not too far from $245 in the article. And even this difference might be just taxes.
On the other hand, the 5800X3D sells for over 500€. The cheapest, at 480€.
Meanwhile, the 5600 non-X can already be found for 170€.
I've heard that the difference in performance between a 5800X3d and 5800X gets smaller, when using tunned ram. But I never found a test to compare.
If the difference was small, I might just get the 5600.

would love to get a 5800X3D for 350€ XD

These are good prices but if AMD goes too much lower they might to start undermining their own pricing with the 7000 series.

They have to sell as much as they can before the market gets flooded with second hand 5000X CPUs and boards

245€ for a 5800X or 379€ for a 5900X are very tempting, even for a new build.
The problem is that motherboards are so expensive, that the CPU prices almost lose their relevance...

Is a better deal when you already have a motherboard and a old Ryzen, with my MSI X470 Gaming Pro, upgrading from 2600 to 5600 it was just a BIOS update and rock solid after that. Yes, old motherboards lack some new technologies like PCI-Express 4.0, but for some GPUs that dont matter.

Finally, the prices they should be at day zero. Better late than never I guess.
I upgraded from 2600 for 3600 to get rid of Zen+ limitations and some IPC improvement.
I'll probably skip a few generations now, or upgrade for cheap keeping AM4 on the way or wait for Ryzen 8 or 9K.

I got 5900x on a discount and gigabyte b550 board for 130e, couldn't be happier.
32 GB of 3600 RAM, with XMP enabled.
Hoping to also replace my old R9 280, once I see new generation, and when price drops on RX6800 (or maybe just get future RX 7600XT).
Also, it's amazing how much faster my R9 is with new CPU 🙂
I did the same thing last time when I bought a PC, At the start of DDR4 era, I chose a DDR3 1866 setup with a lot of cheap memory.
DDR4 was lot more expensive at that time, and there was not much difference in performance (just like today with DDR4 and DDR5).

It's too bad the 5800X3D overall CPU performance is under par. Otherwise I would have got one. Here is to next Gen hoping to build a new AMD rig.
Valken
It offers nearly the same performance as a 12900K at stock for half the money. So if you game, it is THE CPU to get if you already have AM4 platform.
For multi-threading and multitasking, it should be good enough unless you run some business or science apps and really need all the threads. For home users and gamers, I think the 5800X3D is near perfect until the 7x00X3D comes out.

Well in my case I overclock, and water cool so I don't go for stock settings. I take the silicone to the limit then start a under volt. So far only had 1 dud "6700k" stuck at 4.8ghz max. If I was only on games yeah but in no way is a 5800x3d close to 12900 in real world also latency is atrocious on Ryzen all seem to be 10-15ms slower vs a comparable intel system or lower. My 11900kf is faster tan any stock 12900 or 5800X3d in games. I am already at 5.4ghz cpuz single score 732 Multi is 7400+
Undying
There are definitely some great deals on the used market. 5800X can be had below 300Eur but just like with new generation of gpus so is the cpus i would wait and upgrade the whole system.
