Cheaper than last deal.
8 cores, 16 threads.
Remember to buy a separate CPU cooler for this.

Only just cheaper than last time, but around $100 than the cheapest price in Oz ($317).
Still waiting for mine to turn up from last time.
Please note that with Newegg, the actual price of the product (post GST) isn't shown until you add the item to the cart, have logged in and attempted a checkout. So the listed price is 225.50 but actual price you pay is $226.98.
Hate the new GST on imported goods. So annoying.
I don't mind it as long as it's actually cost-effective, and not just a sop to that moron Gerry that COSTS us money to implement.
Unfortunately I think it's the latter, as inspecting every parcel at customs is expensive.
Yeah, thus the caveat :-(
What about the warranty?
You can RMA through Newegg for international orders, but that does mean shipping it to the US. It should be free provided you can get to a DHL drop-point but not 100% certain of that.
Thanks for the info!
Should be able to request directly through AMD
Are you sure about that? Can you share a source?
I'm waiting for R7 3700X :)
This or the R5-2600? Gaming and Video/photo rendering.. hmm..
1700x every time.
uses almost 50% more energy though! lol..
95w compared to 65w aint much consider the multicore performance difference between the two.
Then again, if power usage were a concern you would be looking at intel instead.
For the price this 1700x is a no brainer.
@Ahbal: Absolutely. Especially as I'm pretty sure this is at/lower than the 2600 price right now (based on pc part picker… which shows amazon as the store)
@Ahbal: Not necessarily true on the "would be looking at intel instead"
The way intel does their TDP ratings is sort of as a "we guarantee you can run base speed at this TDP" any of their turbo boost stuff goes far above the 'rated" TDP.
AMDs TDP ratings are closer to actual (short of overclocking of course)

It actually doesn't though, the TDP rating is nonsense for the non-X CPUs, especially if you overclock.
Read a review.
If it's just gaming, I would have suggested 2600 but yeah in this case, go with 1700x
Any recommendations on a Mobo and cooler for this?
Was leaning towards pairing this with:
ASUS ROG STRIX B350-F GAMING AM4 AMD B350 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 HDMI ATX AMD MotherboardThere are new features with the B450 chipset, better auto-overclock, and StoreMI (like Optane). Not sure how much difference these will make to you.

They've got the ASRock X370 Killer for $150 on Newegg that might be good
Hi, how does Asus ROG Strix X470-F compare? Thanks
Poorly. Generally avoid ASUS at the same price point.
Just purchased a Ryzen 5 2600 ($211) from the 15% deal on eBay, is it worth to return it and get this CPU instead?
depends if gaming is important to you. zen+ has better ipc than original zen and is more suitable for gaming.
Yes.
You're looking at a 6-7% performance difference for DX11 games most of the time, and you gain 30% performance in general usage.
That performance gap should actually diminish over time due to DX12 and Vulkan.
No stick with the 2600 single core will be better particularly with a slight overclock. Unless you plan on doing a lot of photo/video editing then maybe 1700X will be 10-15% faster. You can get 4ghz easily all cores for the 2600.
Worth a return? How long are you planning on having it?Where'd you buy the r5 from, how soon do you need it and what mobo do you have?
Currently its $208 at Futu's ebay shop. Use code PEPPY to utilise that 20% off. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/AMD-Ryzen-5-2600-Processor-16-MB…
Ahhh, got it this time.
Now to get a MOBO/RAM pairing and a cooler.
