OOS.
If you are in VIC, you could pick up from the store. Or if you are in WA, you could pick up from the store on around 7th Jan, 2021.
If you are in other areas, delivery is usually $20+ or free if you spend $1400 in one order.
Note: 5800x is ~$230 more expensive than 5600x with only two more cores. If stock available, 5600x and 5900x are better options.
Note2: 5800x is the best performance 8-core CPU at the moment compared with 10th gen Intel.
Too expensive! If you are doing only gaming 5600x is more than enough
Yeah Cyberpunk seems to be the only game that will bottleneck a 5600x at the moment.
There is a new patch that been released that increased the performance of Zen 3 in general so I don't think it will bottleneck or even work to pay extra for the 5800
Its probably due to really bad optimization in general but I did see a video on gamernexus seeing the 5600x being slightly behind at all resolutions but much better than previous gen ryzen in general
@StaticzAvenger: Hmmm I didn't hear him say that tho! All of the reviewer advised to go for 5600x for it is a better value for money plus there will be no major performance increases going for the 5800 if you just gaming
@max-pc1010: Lol yeah this is only specific to cyberpunk, so unless you want a completely locked 60fps on that game at 4k you need to go slightly higher, otherwise completely overkill
I think the bargain is not having to wait much longer!
Forever waiting for 5900x
You should’ve got on the CentreCom deal about 1-2 weeks ago posted here!
Mine came yesterday
https://ibb.co/ZNTX1kr
how much did you pay for RM850x?
Not the best $215 but a decent price
My computer broke the day after that deal :(
SOB… I've had a preorder with PC Case Gear for a month now. Still nothing.
Yup me too. 3070 on the way, now to replace my 3600 with one of these juicy bois.
Forever waiting for 5900x, same here.
Still waiting for a i7 10700K deal :(
Probably in two months, 11700K will be out :P
i got it for 749 at msy. got a far cry 6 code for it which is worth 99 dollars on uplay. so essentially i payed 120 dollars for two more cores vs the 5600… oh wait thats still not good value :)
The real bargain here is only $99 for far cry 6…
It seems that the free game promotion expired
i take that, for pure gamers, there is no need to buy this one at this price just to "future proof".
Future proofing has its own value… sure like can buy a new CPU but there’s cost/time/effort associated with that and offloading the old CPU.
I find the top tier CPU for a given socket tend to get unreasonably high prices once they become a few years old because everyone wants them to max out their boards. The lower range cpus get flooded and aren’t worth much.
Going to report a question I posted on a deal that's been hidden by the mods.
can someone explain to me the shortages? Is manufacturing on CPUs/GPUs/consoles down this year, or is the demand for them up?
Are most of these things manufactured in China or elsewhere? I'm pretty sure China controlled their coronavirus situation well and reopened for business quite early. If they manufactured less it would have been because the demand fell off as other countries faced economic hardships.
Or is nvidia/AMD purposefully cutting back production to generate artificial shortages to make the item more desired, and hold its value longer?
I know scalping is a thing, but it seems to me stuff goes out of stock a minute after it returns to stock at RRP which is not something we've seen before. It seems like units being shipped out are a lot less.
What's actually going on?
Manufacturing is the main reason. Chips are not manufactured in China actually, they are in Taiwan, Japan, US mostly where covid19 is still a thing.
Japan and Taiwan have handled their situation responsibly. So it's the US that's bottlenecking the world's manufacturing?
Not just due to covid19 though. AMD's main factories are in TSMC in Taiwan, which provide 7nm productions for many companies (including Apple, Qualcomm and Intel). AMD could only utilise a small portion of their production lines.
@lostn: I think they are, but since most TSMC clients starts using 7nm or 5nm production lines this year, AMD won't be allocated as much capacity as previous years.
5800x is awful value, even Intel has them beat with the i9-10850K at $600.
