Poll: How much do you think the AMD 5800X3D will cost at launch?

[five8five]

The Ryzen 7 5800X3D, claimed to be the fastest gaming CPU, is launching in the Spring.

There's plenty of conjecture about pricing. Will it be a direct replacement for the 5800X, will it be an exclusive halo product with pricing to match or somewhere in between?

For reference here's the launch pricing (US Dollars) for the 5000 series processors and some recently launched Intel CPUs.

5950X $799
5900X $549
5800X $449
5600X $299

12900k $589
12700k $409
12600k $289

Could a Mod please create a poll. I'm suggesting the following tiers (US Dollars)

$650 or higher
$600 to $649
$550 to $599
$500 to $549
$450 to $499
$400 to $449
$350 to $399
$349 or lower

Thanks.

My initial thoughts were along the lines of the XT pricing so 5800X launch price + $50 ($499) but I feel AMD may want to market it as premium product so I'm going with $549 (5800X + $100).

Yeah you could be right. There's a rumour that it could be produced in very limited numbers, priced extremely high and they'd still sell due to the exclusivety.

@CAT-THE-FIFTH do you know if I need to contact a mod regarding a poll?

Make a thread in Forum Content Discussion or ping one of the mods?

Personally I think they will do what they did with the FX9590 and the special edition Ryzen 7 2700X.

Cheers, will do.

What did they do with the FX9590?

I think you can safely remove a few of those poll options on the lower end is all I'll say.

Was thinking about that. I was considering the special offer pricing that's available now on the 5800X.

Stacked chiplets supply will be hampered by demand for Milan-X, so it's unlikely AMD will just tack 50 notes onto a 5800X and call it a day.

I was thinking along those lines when there were rumoured to be multiple skus.

Price point has to match performance point, AMD can't take a breakdown like my above musings and then slap an arbitrary premium on top because of scarcity. It just won't sell, especially with Zen 4 + AM5 coming in 6-9 months.

In not so sure. If it is a very limited run and for instance matches thereabouts the 12900K / 12900KS performance I think AMD could charge a big premium and still sell the lot as they have user base. Also pricing high could be a good marketing tool as the buyers not interested in a very expensive product could be steered to the other 5000 series CPUs and help clear inventory before the Zen 4 launches.

$500+ IMO the 5800X was $399 at launch but since then everything has become more expensive and prices at TSMC are only going up not down.

Are you sure about $399? I thought it was $449?
I remember the price of the 5800X caused a lot of angst at launch because it was such a big jump from the 5600X at $299. It actually made the 5900X look not too bad value.

To all those wondering why i have dragged Intel into it, it is because the 5800X3D will actuall be competing with the 12900KS but at least wth AMD we get some new technology as opposed to a little extra Mhz

The 12000 is new technology and just come out! The refresh later in the year or maybe early next. As mentioned in the second post, the 3000 series updates were 100Mhz clock bumps - that'll be an extra $50 dollars please. Unfortunately this time the update is not for the masses.

Why is the poll in dollars lol?

Because it'll be released in US Dollars. Our converted to GPB + Vat + ALittleBitExtraOnTopTax. It makes it easier for comparisons due to exchange rate changes.

Also, yes this is a British based forum but we do have members from all round the world participating so it's easier to stick to the release currency.

Buying new platform is the most expensive path, and new generation cpu-s are coming this year so i doubt anyone will migrate to ADL.

They may do. A 7000 CPU + X770 MB + DDR5 will be expensive. ADL + budget board + DDR4 could be more attractive.
