Serious question, what is the point of the 5700X3D? The 5800X3D can already be had for under $300. I just don’t see the point of slotting in yet another SKU between the 5600X3D and 5800X3D.
Cheaper for -400mhz
If real, it’s almost certainly going to be a 65W SKU (5500X3D also) and will likely end up being used by a lot of OEMs in mid-range prebuilt systems.
400 mhz lower boost across all cores would likely make the 7700x3d hard to justify vs 7700x. Frequency matters too.

Absolutely biblical mate
ah ffs, literally just got the 5700x
5700x gets you most of the perf of the 5800x at a much more reasonable TDP and operating temp. X3D benefits aside, you have one of the most efficient 8 core desktop CPUs currently on the market.
5800X runs hot as fuck because it can’t even hit the full 142W stock TDP on non-goat cooling.
I run it with effective 85W thermal / power limits due to the cooler I have. I’m probably losing a few % in perf but it’s a LOT more efficient and runs cooler.
If you were in the market for an 8-core X3D, why didn’t you buy the existing 8-core X3D?
they also better release 5600X3D worldwide.
They didn’t have the stock for that, and 5600X3D wasn’t really going to be a thing until Microcenter found out that AMD had all these processors and struck a deal to buy them all from AMD. AMD whipped up the 5600X3D and shipped it to MC.
pls dont be microcenter exclusive like the 5600x3d
They did that because those were all defective 5800X3Ds so that wouldn’t land with the 5700X.
Confusing but, I guess if they’re getting enough defects they might as well not waste the expensive 3D vcache
they know zen3D sells like hell so might aswell sell whats leftover of zen3D
AM4 the gift that keeps on giving.
The main issue with the 5500 was the lack of cache I think? It could be a good upgrade for like a 100. 🤔
I’m still on my old and trusty 3600.
AM4 was the best investment ever.
wtf
bruh i JUST bought a 5600g
If you chose an iGPU chip I doubt either of these is going to fit your needs.
This makes zero sense
OMG! Didn’t expect this to happen.
brace yourself, agesa 1209 is comming
