AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Edition Review

[TooQik]

I'm really debating if going from my 5900X to this one. Actually, for some reason I had to disable some cores on my cpu, so I virtually have a 5800X. Was planning on upgrading to AM5, but didn't do it on time and now it's almost impossible. My GPU is a 9070 XT, I wonder if this 5800X3D would eliminate the stutters I've been having in some games.

I weighed up the pros and cons of swapping a 5800X to a 5800X3D before I migrated to an AM5 platform, and came to the conclusion it wasn't worth it.

I would be taking a closer look at why you can't run your existing 5900X with all cores operating, as this could be an underlying reason you're seeing stuttering in games. If you can't run it stock with everything working, then you may have a faulty CPU and could potentially look at a replacement, assuming it's still covered under warranty.

Huh? That is the problem with the 5800 x3d. It has no upgrade path at all. If you price it out, an AM5 9600x system only costs about a couple hundred more, with a great upgrade path. Even the 250k plus could be upgraded to a 270k.

What is the difference between upgrading
already owned AM4 platform with Ryzen 1700x, 3600x or even 5600x into 5800x3D
and future upgrading s1851 Intel 250k one does not own into 270k?

Its the one last & final upgrade (not so final with Ryzen if one is looking for MT uses case) and then change of platform.

If one is does not have bad luck, AM4 can last long enough to outlive s1700 (already did), s1851, AM5 and, may be, s1945 too . Uprading to whatever comes after that with PCIe gen6 (or Gen 7) and DDR6.

9800X3D
He is looking for 5800X3D. they may do one now that it is popular again, but they do not normally do new GPUs with older CPU platforms.

For example TPU (If I pick EN web sites) does benchmark of GPUs. A lot of them. Benchmarks the games too. And for most of those tests uses one platform (case, PSU, board, RAM, CPU).
If they occasionally do test of CPU, they use above mentioned platform if possible and most powerful GPU at home.
In the end you can get one of those sets of results:
- most powerful CPU at home + any GPU they manage to get
- most powerful GPU at home + any CPU/platform they manage to get

Techspot deliver wider variety of tests.
- best CPU + some GPUs
- best GPU + some CPUs/platforms
- picked GPU + picked GPU + variations in PCIe speed / PCIe lanes / amount of RAM/ 1 vs 2 RAM chanels / DDR4 vs DDR5 / DX12 vs Vulcan / Windows vs Linux / ...

So yeah, your seeing things.

Once seen, I can not unsee them.

Sometimes, a clean Windows installation can help.

When I upgraded from a 5900X to a 5800X3D I noticed a surprisingly huge difference. Much smoother game play with a huge reduction in stutters. It was a little shocking. This was with an RTX3090. I would go for it. You won't regret it.

That’s a lot of words to completely avoid the point. He asked for the 5800X3D tested with reasonably priced current GPUs, such as the 9070 XT or RTX 5070. You linked GPU reviews using a 9800X3D, which answers an entirely different question.

If you can find TechSpot testing those GPUs with a 5800X3D, post the link. Otherwise, you’re just posting nonsense for the sake of posting.

There is some logic to it because the 5800X3D can deliver better gaming performance and smoother frame times than the 5900X in cache sensitive games. But it isn’t guaranteed to eliminate stuttering.

Also, disabling one chiplet on a 5900X leaves you with six cores, not a virtual 5800X. If you actually had to disable cores to make the system behave properly, I’d investigate that problem before buying another CPU. A healthy 5900X paired with a 9070 XT shouldn’t require cores to be disabled just to run games smoothly.

They thought its price will go down.
Instead it disappeared.

It did go down for a while though. I got a 7700X, an MSI B650 motherboard, and 32GB of CL30 DDR5 RAM in a bundle for about $400USD in December 2024. That's a better CPU with everything needed for the upgrade for $50 more than this CPU alone. I've also been using it for a year and a half, and I have an upgrade path if I need it. I could have gotten a 7600X with the same motherboard and RAM for $350 or less if that was a hard limit.

It is a gaming chip only, and compared to a 5950X the CPU is relatively "weak"

I almost bought it; but then I figured for what I do with my current AM4 system the 5950X walks over it day and night.

OP may as well use results with 7600x or 9600x as they give very similar performance (*)
And some were made by above mentioned GPUs.
In the older articles OP may find rx 6900xt, rtx 3090ti, rtx 4090.

Lot of results to use. Just use your Google-Fu.

(*) Margin of error using those results is lower than difference other variables may do.
Namely: amount of RAM, RAM speed, RAM timings, RAM banks used, Re-bar,

You switched platform when it was cheap.
With today prices I would stay at AM4 with 64GB and bought that 5800x3D if gaming was my main use case.

Good job.
Analyze your needs before spending money.

You’re still missing the point. He wants actual 5800X3D benchmarks paired with a 9070 XT or RTX 5070. Results from a 7600X, 9600X, or older GPUs are not the same test, and you cannot splice results from different reviews together and pretend they are equivalent.

I already suggested that he Google or YouTube the exact comparison he wants. Ironically, your own list of variables, RAM speed, timings, ReBAR, platform differences, etc......explains why your proposed comparison would be unreliable.

I guess you just want to keep arguing against a point nobody made. If you have the requested TechSpot benchmarks, post them. Otherwise, you’re just posting nonsense for the sake of posting.

While we were expecting a new and better chip to be used for some 10th anniversary surprise, AMD instead gave us a chip that is at least 4 years old now. It is ironic and honestly, I rather AMD skip this supposed "10th anniversary" chip because it just sounds silly.

Yeah well I really dislike impulsive buying of things, as tempting the 5800X3D might look on paper with it's extra cache, it's still a chip held back "and only" 50% faster then a 2700X in typical workloads. I'm glad I did the right thing, the 5950X still holds up massively to this day.

The 5950X3D actually was a thing with AMD's own internal testing, but the way the X3D was designed, and how the cache was sitting on top would make it a really slow 5950X. It sucks they have not applied the cache below the CCD's tech - it would have made the 5800X3D such a fast chip.
