Being on am4 for years the 5800x 3d was a great upgrade. Gonna get me through the next few years.

[pancake]

As someone whose native language is not English but is confident enough in my skills in it, hearing Steve talk that fast saying all those number models and names is the hardest english hearing test I've come across so far lol

[notblazedfordays]

Since I already had an x570 the upgrade to the $384 5800x3d a few months ago was the sensible option (got it on sale.) But if I didn’t have anything I probably would have gone with the 7600x or waited for the 7000x3d chip. I feel like the 7000 series 3D chip is gonna be incredible! Thank you so much for the video!

[AkashYadavOriginal]

I was using 1700 on x370. And upgraded to 5800x3D, it made an incredible sense to me. The performance for me is enough to outlast AM5 and upgrade to AM6.

[jimmyx]

5800X3D is an unbelievable upgrade for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Truly crazy how good it is - even compared just to Ryzen 5000, let alone the MASSIVE gains you get if you're coming from any previous Ryzen gen.

[dqpowered]

Seeing the performance of the 5800X3D makes me not being able to wait for the new X3D models coming in the next year!
Great job, as always. 🤙

[anasevi]

5800X3D is really a gem for those who want to max out their existing AM4 builds. Heck even if you were running a cheap 2600/3600 six core, it would be happy on your low-end B350/B450 motherboard. We have one running on a 5 year old B350m Bazooka.

[chriscunningham]

As I was able to drop in the 5800X3D from my 3600, it really shows the strength of the AM4 upgrade path over the years. Same logic for the new system builders now as you've mentioned with AM5. Has to be said that AMD has done an (overall) good job with the upgrade path building good will amongst builders vs Intel. That 2 year cycle on platforms looks like it's starting to hurt them more now after the years of AM4. It all comes down to if AMD can keep it up on AM5 and force Intel to compete in more than just initial purchase price to try and get them to commit to a longer term compatibility.

[TechWithVille]

I actually upgraded to a Ryzen 7 5800X3D a little while ago, I managed to buy one on Black Friday and replaced my Ryzen 5 5600X with it. I sold my Ryzen 5 5600X for 150€, so I managed to get a pretty decent upgrade out of it for not that much money. After seeing this benchmark comparison, I have to say that I'm quite happy with my upgrade decision.

[pStar]

Hardware Unboxed I’d just like to say thanks, been looking to upgrade my first gen ryzen system and I spend hours watching your videos., keep it up it is very useful and enjoyable content to watch ❤️

[sergeb]

Upgraded from a 5600x to 5800x3D, and I see quite the difference at 1440p. Hope to keep the 5800x3d for several years and I'm making the bet it will be able to manage next generation of GPUs fine enough

[timmyflew]

For someone who already has an AM4 system that was built 2 years ago, the 5800x3d made sense. I sold my 5800x and bought thr 3d. So I have a pretty good upgrade in performance for about $120. That way I have the fastest gaming performance I can get for my mobo. I will see how long that and my 3090 keep me happy which I feel will be a few more years.

[neoaliens]

Amazing video as always. You test stuffs fast Steve!

[Owen-fnff]

Great video, Steve.
Interesting match up.
I think the 5800x3d might be a good case for me though: I plan to skip AM5 entirely and will jump back on board in 4-5 years to whichever Intel or AMD is better.
The money that is saved by it upgrading CPU or to ddr5 ram will be spent on GPUs instead.
As I don’t think I’ll be able to budget for a 4090, I don’t think I’ll lose much performance in the 4-5 years of AM5 until my next upgrade. Quite specific use case but there are a lot of people with AM4 who don’t need to upgrade due to et I think.

[jhonatanpereira]

I change my old 1600 on my B350 to 5800X3D this week, its a great upgrade, will definitely last as long as the 1600 did! Great video!

[fuzz]

Regarding avoiding the 5800x3d due to not wanting to invest in the AM4 platform - I don't really feel like the platform is much of an investment given how rarely (for me) a CPU upgrade has happened without also upgrading the rest of the computer (or atleast the mobo and ram).

Usually its either that the CPU I choose is among the best the platform will ever see (meaning a worthwhile upgrade never becomes an option), or if not, that I've also specced out a lower end motherboard that I can't (or don't want to) use with a top end CPU.

Infact, in my 25 years of building computers I've only *once* upgraded a CPU without upgrading the motherboard, and that was when I swapped out the i7 950 in my X58 motherboard for a cheap 2nd hand xeon x5660 (which I promptly overclocked from 2.7 to 4.4ghz) - that's the kind of upgrade (in terms of low cost and jump in performance) that I'm absolutely certain will never be an option again (intel made sure of that by locking down subsequent generations of xeons).

I just don't feel it's worthwhile to build a computer around potential future CPU upgrades that might not ever happen. Just build the computer that's the best bang for buck right now.

Couple hours later after I have ordered my 5800x3d, it was sold out in Amazon. I got mine and installed it on my system. I was upgrading from R5 3600x because it was obvious that my CPU was bottlenecking my new AMD 6800XT. Now, I constantly see my GPU usage reaching 99% during gaming where as it used to barely reach 88% with my old CPU. The score on 3Dmark also went up significantly as well. I couldn't be anymore happier.

[Djehuty]

Since i had a AM4 mobo (Asus Prime X470 Pro) i just decided to go from 2600X to a 5800X3D and the difference in performance is astronomical, going for AM5 7600X setup would have costed me more than double so i think ill just wait for a generation or 2 before switching to AM5. Hopefully it's a long lasting socket like AM4 was.

[jonathanellis]

I just upgraded from a 3500x to a 5800x3d. The difference was night and day. I worked out it was cheeper to go this route than upgrade the motherboard ram and CPU as well.

[justinpatterson]

Went from a 2600X and a 2060, to a 5800X3D and a 7900XT. Felt like going from a dodgy little backyard bobcat, to a massive front end loader.
