Is AMD's Ryzen 7 5800X3D One Of The Greatest CPUs Of All-Time?

[Benefits]

Gamers that have motherboards from 2017 can drop the 5800x3D in and instantly have gaming performance on par with the newest chips of 2024. For that reason alone, the chip is legendary.

I absolutely love mine. Went from the 3600 to the 5800X3D on the same board. NEVER AGAIN

[boogeyman]

the 5800X3D will go down as the GTX 1080 Ti of CPUs 🤌

I have a feeling that this is gonna be this era's 2500k, where you're gonna be set for the next 10+ years without never needing to upgrade it.
And almost 2 years after buying one and pairing it with an RTX 4080, I can say I certainly see it being that way.

Picked up 5700x3d + B550 motherboard+ heatsink fan all for $150 from aliexpress sales 5 months ago. Super happy im going to say that's as close as well ever get to the best CPU for all time.

Using the 5800X3D right now with 32 GB of CL 14 Ram and a 4070ti

Sill running my 5800x3d with a 4090 and a 4k 120Hz TV (LG C2). Don't see I would gain anything upgrading yet.
The fact this CPU will slot into a basic AM4 MB and perform, and that it kind of mitigates for slower ram is amazing.
With AM4 I started at 2600x, the whole platform has been great.

The greatness of the 5800X3D is not so much it's performance or performance per dollar, but rather its ability to simply be installed in 8 year old motherboards, all while using inexpensive DDR4 memory and small inexpensive coolers.

5800X3D is the GTX1080Ti of the CPU. AMD even expanded their lineup to include 5600X3D and 5700X3D

[SpookySkeletonGang]

5700X3D is nuts, and really makes the 9000 series look so much worse then it is for AM4 users. At least when it was the 5800X3D it was a toss up because chips like the 7600 were cheaper than it, so you could get a mobo and ram with a 7600 for not much more then the 5800X3D. Now? Just get a 5700X3D and be done with it.

AM4 will probably be looked back on as legendary. The crossroads of the tech, the games, and just that time period. It was it’s own little golden era, but we didn’t know it

q6600 my love, ran that bad boy at 4.051ghz until the day i replaced it, stable oc for 8 years at 1.6v absolute legend

[abaww]

msi b350m mortar from 2017 + 5800x3d bought used for 240€ 1 and a half year ago. proud.

[dennythescars]

I still have a 5800X3D with RTX 4080 Super and i will not change this CPU for nothing right now.

[terminalfx]

The 4790k and 7700k from intel were also both great chips that outlasted their +1 and +2 generation counterparts for performance to value ratio.

I sold many of the legends, i486DX2-66, Athlon XP 3200+, Q6600, i7-2600K, i7-8700K, etc.
It's odd seeing someone mention the i7-920, Tom's mentioned it a few months ago, equally confusing, as it wasn't memorable.
Sold a lot more i486SX-33, XP 2600+, E8400, i5-2500K, etc. than the legendary ones for sure though.
Same for the 5800X3D, I've probably still built more with the 5700X3D. Hard to say which should be considered the legendary SKU.

The V-Cache is such an elegant "brute force" solution to the latency bound chiplet architecture of Ryzen. No wonder it will keep the old AM4 CPUs afloat for long time.

[purplegill]

Slight correction: the x3d chips were originally JUST intended for the server market but multiple engineers found the gaming performance to be phenomenal so they eventually convinced their higher-ups to put it in a consumer chip.

[TechnicolorTube]

AMD definitely deserves Queue-Dos for the 5800x3D.

[SuperBobbyiv]

im rocking 5800x3D with 7900xtx with 32GB ram im pretty set for the next 5-10 years
