8 core Zen 3 CPU clocked at 4.6Ghz. Same cache as the 5800X, but clocked slightly lower. It appears to be the same specification as the OEM only 5800.

I definitely would've considered buying this CPU if it had come when Zen 3 CPUs released.

The 5800X is now available for ~£300, so I'd guess the 5700X will cost about £50 less.

I probably wouldn't recommend either chip for new builds, now that the 12700f is available for £300.

EDIT - Actually, I think the 10700K / 10700 were always slightly ahead of the 5800X, at least in 1080p and above:

I'm sure there were some things the 5800X was better at than the 10700K. I was waiting for the 5800 (oem) version to become available before I bought my 10700K. But they kept the prices of the 5800X high for a long time, and never bothered with a full release for the 5800.

The market should shift dramatically when Zen 4 releases at the end of 2022, if they can produce enough low end / mid end models. It's an odd year for AMD really, with Zen3D set to be superseded after 6-8 months. It seems like a test platform for their new cache technology, which should also be integrated into Zen 4.

5700X or 12600K that's the question im trying to answer as im about to pull the trigger on getting parts for my next build. I know the 5700X will be the cooler system in terms of temperature. However the 12600K is newer tech and have room for improvement when linked with DDR5 / PCI-E 5.0 etc etc.

Seems straight forward to me, for a new build. Go with a LGA1700 system, as you will be able to upgrade to Intel's 13th gen if you want to, it's not that far off.

The 12600 (non K) would be a good CPU in the mean time, just boost the clocks as high as they will go.
