How does this affect you? Are you running an old machine and want to upgrade on the cheap?If videos like these increase sales of cheap AM5 mobos and CPUs, AMD will soon be forced to discount AM4 chips even more. Just wondering how low they can go. I don't know about now but back in around 2000, I read that a chip costs $50 for Intel to make, regardless of whether it's i7 or Celeron. With inflation and rising manufacturing costs, this might've gone up to $100 at most. So maybe AMD still has some wiggle room and we could see new X3D chips going under $150 some time soon. That's gonna make consoles look bad in terms of fps smoothness and could inject some more life into the DIY PC gaming scene by lowering the barrier of entry.
Doesn't affect me at all. I was just thinking out loud.How does this affect you? Are you running an old machine and want to upgrade on the cheap?
AM4 is so good, I think I can skip a generation and wait for AM6.
With the risk of repeating myself, please remember that the rest of the world has very little purchasing power, compared to North American buyers.
I was on Aliexpress yesterday, and saw people mentioning (in their reviews) that they just built new computers with 3600X chips.
AM4 is king in South America, Eastern Europe, as well as most of Asia...
LOL guy on eBay told me to make an offer of $90... but had his auto decline/reject set higher than that amount so I made the offer and it auto declined. Ah never change EBay.
Found a 5600X used for $93 all in, no fan or box on this one, but slightly better processor for slightly less money, why not, went for that instead.
for CPUs I only use amazon or newegg, and new for this reason exactly.- God damn it, put the 5600x in my buddy's PC, it boots tells me TPM needs to be reset, sure.
Then PC gets stuck in a boot loop, won't even load windows recover, just turns on, spinning dots, resets.
Put the old 2200g back in and reset TPM, PC works fine, launches windows.
Put 5600x back in, stuck in boot loop again.
Looks like I got a dud folks. Was a bit suspicious thanks to the CPU packaging having a couple layers of tape on it, suggesting it was used and returned a few times, maybe even with a dud.
Time to use eBay's return policy and just bite the bullet and get my buddy a different, hopefully working proc.

Ok, I'm seeing a 5500 on Amazon for $97 shipped. I know it's neutered Cezanne and not Vermeer, but it will still be a huge lift off a 2200g and it will be brand new.
Alternatively a 5600 goes for $141 shipped, but I cannot really justify a $41 increase in price for effectively 10-15% more performance.
Last option is to keep hammering eBay and hope I come up with a 5600 proc for $100 that actually works.
Yeah, these newer Ryzens could be better steppings with lower power usage and less heat. But I concur with DAPUNISHER. Better to not be hasty when potential deals could sweeten the pot further.No, get a 5500GT for $115 or get the 5600GT. Looks to be the same price on Amazon. Check pcpartpicker though.
The BIOS is updated correct? If the BIOS is really old it might not detect the 5000 series.- God damn it, put the 5600x in my buddy's PC, it boots tells me TPM needs to be reset, sure.

Here is the experience I had. I asked Amazon CS to credit the difference to my account as the price had dropped. I was told to buy the product at the better price and return the one I had for a full refund. I replied that it was cheaper to simply credit my account the difference as it saves on the return postage, processing, and product no longer being able to sell as new. I was told it doesn't work that way and to do the purchase and return. If you guys are getting the credit all I can say is -Yeah, these newer Ryzens could be better steppings with lower power usage and less heat. But I concur with DAPUNISHER.

That's my plan. If there is a good Prime Day deal I will upgrade this 2600X machine.
.. whoa .. you gave up 8 cores ?I swapped my 5950X for the 5800X3D
No not really. I traded the 5950X for the 5800X3D + got some cash. And the 5800X3D does better in games in general. The 5800X3D doesn't boost as high for frequency, (the 5950X could do just over 5GHz) but the extra cache is what matters... whoa .. you gave up 8 cores ?
um .. regrets ?
Not using upscaling?I could tell he was a bit disappointed that stuff like HWL didn't immediately start running like melted butter
Not using upscaling?
Yeah, TV lag can be pretty horrible. Witnessed it first hand on LG C8 (and not on any other non-OLED 4K LG/Sony TVs before). HDR Vivid profile made playing Horza Forizon impossible due to the lag. Had to turn to game mode which wasn't visually as good but had no choice.I suspect the TV might not be in "game mode" which is introducing a lot of lag in the visuals.
