Not that many reviews with 4K 5800x3D results.
Anandtech did do some (and they included the all important mins), but hard do say which of their games is the most CPU intensive:
Civ Vi:
or GTA V:
The others I think had a smaller difference.
Unfortunately no 64 player multiplayer games in there as those are just to variable for most reviewers, yet I think something like would show the most difference at min FPSs.

just bought one, gona see how it compares to my 5950x 4.7 all core.

Starcraft II minimums at 4K:
5800X: 81
5800X3D: 125
I wouldn't call that "negligible", is rather huge at around 58% at 4K.
Thanks but Starcraft 2 is a 2010 game with extremely basic graphics by modern standards, so clearly it's not GPU limited and will benefit from CPU power at almost any resolution. I would also never play it in 2022 so the results for such an antiquated game are utterly meaningless to me and likely 99.9% of gamers gaming at 4k.

81 minimum seems pretty good for SC2 as it is so not really worth the upgrade imo. If it stays <400 quid for a while then I'll probably get one anyway and sell the 5800X

Assetto Corsa 94 vs. 122 which is about 30%.
At the end of the day it depends what you're playing and at what settings. For instance, I play on 3 displays (nVIDIA Surround), meaning although the resolution is relatively high 5760x1080, also the CPU has to work harder due to a significant bigger FoV. So for me a lower resolution testing makes much more sense. Neverming that when the next gen hits those gaps will get bigger for each game - even newer ones like MFS, SC, etc.

Just a headsup for anyone using a Corsair Capellix cooler, You can now get the "Elite Retention Bracket" which replaces the awful plastic clip method on all AMD B series and X series 300/400/500 boards, I put on roughly the same amount of MX-5 that I only applied 2 weeks ago using the same spread method, I saw a 2-3'c drop on the 5800X3D with the new bracket which I'm guessing is due to pressure being more evenly spread out over the 4 x corners instead of just 1 at the top and 1 at the bottom, Not a world shattering difference but it's a difference. The temperature I recorded a few weeks ago was directly after applying the TIM so I'd say it's safe to say the better mounting method makes a difference. Also there seems to be less erratic temperature fluctuations too so win-win.

Had a price drop down at £399 today.

Well worth it !

£399 hold or buy?
Tough one for me. Away on holidays this week and no one to take delivery if I bite

Buy now, don't delay!
There are big price drops in my country on AMD processors...
5800x - £232 equivalent
5900x - £305 equivalent
5950x - £426 equivalent (same price as a 5800x3D costs here)
I guess they are shifting stock ready for the impending launch of the 7000 series.
Yes, some great options out there right now for anyone that doesn't want to be an early adopter or needs something right away.

Or they just can't shift them because of the superior Intel counterparts.

Exactly what I was just thinking!

On a side note comparing the stock AMD plastic clip mounting method to the newer Corsair full metal bracket with 4 screw down points, While watching youtube at 4K with discord open, Steam etc... the CPU would hover around the 51'c mark, With the same ambient in the room my PC is in the same apps, Even the same video at 4K the CPU is hovering around the 42'c mark, That is a huge difference.
I'm glad AMD won't have those cheap crap plastic mounting clips for the next gen as I can pretty much guarantee the "OMG AMD IS HOT" memes of the last few years are down to crappy mounting pressure due to those cheapo plastic clips.
