AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D

Our conclusion is pretty straightforward. We still think the 5800X3D makes sense. It is not invalidated entirely by the 5700X3D, which does take a good chunk out of the potential sales for people who are really sensitive to that extra $50 to $65 but we think the 5800XD mostly still makes sense as an option if you are really just trying to get one last drop in to squeeze everything out of that motherboard. With that price gap, however, the 5700X3D is a better value strictly in the sense that it's a lot cheaper and the performance gap is really not that wide.

AMD continues to impress, releasing a CPU in 2024 for a platform released in 2016. But if you have been keeping up with GPU upgrades and have a decent platform already built on the aging AM4 platform, for $250, and performance on par with the 8600G in non-memory bound tasks, you can get a worthy upgrade to bring relevance back to the build.
