I upgraded to this chip from a 5600g, there was much more improvement than I was expecting. Nothing life changing but a good boost nonetheless. It smoothed out a lot of frame rate drops in my games and is quite capable for productivity workloads.
Only issue now I gotta watch my heat a little more since I went from a 65w CPU to the 105w CPU built in a fractal node 202. Still running my stock cooler for the 5600g.
Still a hefty price but I guess it’s quite a bit cheaper than the first X3D models. I wonder if we’ll see more something on the budget end of things for those type of cpus.
Someone let me know when it’s beneficial, cost to performance ratio wise, to update my 5800X to its 3D variant.
I’m wondering the same thing for my Ryzen 7 3700X as I’ve seen a lot of press recently for these chips…
I’ve got a 3800x (in an x570 board) and I’m considering a 5950x upgrade to retire that box to home-server duty, and do a new gaming rig. 5950x averages about $350 USD from what I’ve seen for about a year now
If you’re into factorio then, afaik, the 3d chips are still the best CPUs for that game. Factorio loves l3 cache, and the x3d CPUs have a ton of it.
