      If you were in the market for an 8-core X3D, why didn’t you buy the existing 8-core X3D?

      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.

          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.
