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

[tommoT.Striker]

AM5 has a higher pin count right?

So if Zen4 chiplet is still limited to 8 cores maybe they can fit more than just two chiplets on the die?

AMD must have made the socket bigger for a reason, maybe that was to increase zen from two chiplets to 3/4.


Not that I think they need too, I know Intel is increasing cores but that doesn't mean it's the right thing to do - at this point in time increasing core count does absolutely nothing for videogame performance so AMD does not need to increase core count to claim the gaming crown and they'd be wise to remember that

AMD will remember that, but hopefully they'll also remember there is more to PCs than just gaming. Also gamers don't need 16 core 5950Xs or 12900K, but they buy them regardless.

AMD focus where the money is, but there is a bit of marketing tricks to this. If Intel are going for a 8P+16E config, for a sub-HEDT price, AMD should be there right on Intel's ass.

Most of those extra pins will be for power delivery

I think around £500-£550. They'll market it as "close to 5900X multi-threaded performance due to IPC uplift" and then sell it at that price point.

Of course, if they do the whole "limited edition" crap then add another 40-50% onto that price.

Given the price drop i'd like to change my answer to £400-449. I didn't expect AMD to price drop before the 5800X3D, I thought if they were going to do it then it would have been done at ADL launch to try and steal buyers. Doing it now just makes the 5800X3D worth about £100 less compared to the rest of the 5000 series, which is a bit of an odd move. Personally i'm interested but my limit would be £450 as otherwise the 5800X/5900X are far more attractive.

rumour of new AMD chips being released. 5500, 5600, 5700x.

Too little too late. Unless they heavily undercut the intel equivalents on price they won't get new adopters into am4 but may entice those on zen1 and 2.

I am guessing not a good enough source for all those who some how came to the conclusion it will cost up to £650

The original source of the 'leak' has had their Twitter account suspended

For the record the leak said $449, it's only a $ out but makes a difference when comparing it to the poll results above.

Not sure I trust it anyway, the real price only shows up when it becomes available live on OCUK store page.

guru3dnis not the source it's clear they just copying it from somewhere else

 

[subbytna]

It's where I read it at, so I posted it up

I think it'll be £500 on here, after the OCUK tax.

5800x is already a really hot CPU, I take it the 5800x3d will be even hotter. might be the reason for removing overclocking?

 

[Tute]

Imagine charging £500 for an eight core in 2022. Who in their right mind would buy this over a 5900X for less or a 5950X for a little bit more?

Insanity.

If they pull the same thing with Zen 4 then IMO it's going to be poor value, I'm expecting Intel to have better price performance with Raptor and even Meteor Lake now. I'm looking at ML for my next upgrade unless AMD surprise with Zen 4, but at this rate I'm not sure.

The same people who bought the 8700K, 9900K and 10900K for the absolute best gaming CPU. That's what the 5800X3D is.

Insanity.

Indeed.

All of those were proper flagship products, carrying the most cores at the highest clock speeds.

The 5800X3D, whilst being a great product, is still “just” an eight core. I’d expect a hypothetical 5900X3D to occupy the £500 price point.

I'd argue that's irrelevant. Just because those Intel chips were also their flagships doesn't mean AMD need to follow that pattern. Those Intel chips were regarded as the de facto gaming CPUs, were priced accordingly and sold accordingly. The 5800X3D, regardless of its core count and clock speeds, will be the de facto gaming CPU. It will be the best gaming CPU AMD have available, it (probably) will be the best gaming CPU available right now.

"Flagship" has become a nonsense word in PC tech in recent years (RTX 3080 is your flagship GPU eh, Nvidia? lulz), but if the word must remain in use, consider the 5800X3D to be AMD's flagship gaming CPU, with the 5950X as their flagship productivity CPU.
