How far away from you is it?That is some smart upgrading.
I actually ended up with the 7800X3D system because I delayed jumping on the $270.00 5800X3D deal, figuring it would come back, nope, 5800X3D's crept back up to ~$350+; then Newegg had 7800X3D's for $349.99 in Oct 2023 with the bundle and save promo.
After too much cross shopping, it was just a better deal to order from Newegg than hassle the round trip drive to Micro Center for their 7800X3D combo.
It made more sense long run to spend ~$550 for X3D AM5 than $350+ for the 5800X3D.
Was that ASUS kit a one time MC thing?

I picked up a used 5600X3D for $200 shipped on another forum. And a NIB 5800X3D for $210 shipped from one of the excellent members here. Both were swap and go. No new boards, ram, OS license or installs. 2 of my systems are mini-ITX so replacing them with AM5 would either be another $200+ each or settling for A620 (no thanks) If I upgrade I want all the new standards not just the future CPU capable socket.
I play with frame caps, so a 7800X3D would be virtually indistinguishable from a 5800X3D. Bigger bar better alone does not define my gaming needs. I will probably upgrade to Zen 5 3D when everyone is selling it off and upgrading to Zen 6 3D.
An hour away and you did not wait for what you wanted to be in stock? You sir are spoiled rotten and don't know it. 🤣 I'd be there just to roam the aisles at least once a month.
On topic: This 5600X3D has become my favorite CPU ever. It's is exceedingly rare in the scheme of things, and does a great job paired with a Hellhound 7800XTX at the moment. One of my 5800X3Ds is with a 7900XTX, the other with ARC A750 LE. The ARC will hopefully get replaced with Battle Mage for the holidays and go back in the box to stay in my collection.

Folks, don't forget that the U.S. is just the tip of the iceberg here...
You already get the best deals if you live in the U.S., while the rest of the world usually gets the crumbs.
Here in Canada, for instance, we're excited now to be able to buy cheap 5700X3D CPUs from Aliexpress for something like US$160. And don't get me started on the price of new AM5 motherboards....
With the economy being the way it is all across the globe and the enormous pool of available AM4 products still growing, even if the socket got officially discontinued today, it would have accumulated enough momentum for another couple of years. The insane value of the new chips means people will be able to keep their computers longer, thanks to a simple BIOS update.
I would imagine most of the developing world is still running on Zen 2 right now. They will be really happy to step up to the Zen 3 chips in 2026 at serious sale prices, once the Western markets will finally move away from AM4.
AMDumb strikes again.
They announce the 5800XT and compare it against a 13600kf using a RX 6600 and show it edging the Intel CPU out in games. WTF M8? 🤣 Do they have an internal contest with prizes for whomever can troll the press and public the hardest?

Weird?! They are deceiving the public.
Slide title says it clearly: High-end Performance for Gamers and Creators. There's no high end performance with an RX 6600, they are lying.

The only pretzel logic I could conjure from my pea brain, to explain this bizarre marketing, is they are trying the old "there is no such thing as bad publicity." tactic. No one cares about a clock bumped vanilla Zen 3 CPU. They managed to get us talking about. LOLZ I guess this one gets filed under "Task failed successfully!"Did you see that on the Hardware Unboxed video? Stupidity at its best.
You lost me the second you invoked whataboutism. This is 100% the product of the infamous AMDumb™ Marketing division.That s exagerated from their part, but no worse than Intel who once did a comparison with their dual channel plateform against an AMD one that was gimped with a single channel.
That being said they should have used a 7800XT, results would be comparable and this would had provided an additional advertisement for their GPU.

HUB Steve wins via brutality. He eviscerates the Zen 3 benchmark shenanigans.
Their target audience is/should be people with AM4 motherboards - they should have compared with their own Zen1 and Zen2.AMD should have just compared 5800XT to 14400F in games (with RX 7900 XT), because that's where they would probably tie, since 14400F is still alder lake.

If they are targeting low cost new builds, then they should talk about prices.
It is a marketing shambles.
