amazon taking preorders for the 5800X.
I am still chasing after the golden goose aka.. 5900X. :T
I think my 6900XT may fall out of warranty before i even get it tho.
Although i do admit not looking for it hardcore enough because i wanted to wait for the new bios on the usb3 fix for X570 before i started building this machine, but i still do find it very ironic how i was able to get a RTX 3070 + RTX 3090 + 6900XT+ before even trying to secure the CPU.
If anyone knows a reputable vendor outside me having to camp in front of microcenter, that has 5900X @ retail msrp and in stock i would greatly appreciate it.
raises hand... i tend to keep my PC's dedicated for one task only.
So my main machine is a dedicated gaming PC, the office a dedicated productivity machine, and servers are real servers with ECC REG ram.
But IMO, i am seeing some performance benefits of a 5900X over a 5800X for that extra +$50, which is why i am hunting that 5900X.
A 5950 vs 5900X although is not enough of a boost for me to hunt that tho over the cost difference.
lol good luck... i think you may find yourself in a better position to just sign up @ eVGA queues for a RTX, unless your after a 6000 series XT.
