would depend on price of motherboard options
Prices on the Z690 motherboards are ridiculously expensive. Most of the ones I see you don't get all sorts of features like the analog debug screen and clear bios buttons. The one I bought is the MSI Z690 Edge, it only has LED debug lights.
From where?
All good. Found it. Computer alliance?
yep
Paid about this for my 3900x and that died recently so I've been back on my trusty r5 1600 the last few months. Probably a good time to upgrade.
Why did it die?
No idea, just one of the unlucky ones I guess and I'm not the only one this happened to after researching into it.
:( stop hurting me. Cries in April 2021 5950X order.
Consider the price difference the cost of usage for almost a year. It's this cheap now because, you know, it's a year old.
Get out of here with all your reasonable comments, your optimism your facts and your general all round sunny disposition. I won't have it.
Show me on the Mobo where the CPU touched you.
And also crying in 3600/3900X prices from launch… wonder if theres any major improvements to upgrade. Vaguely remember some RTX3000 option not being available on ryzen 3xxx
If you were stressing your 3900X then yes this is a good upgrade:
+4 more cores
+8 more threads
Benchmarks show anywhere 15% - 20% improvement over 3900X
Zen3 vs Zen2The 3900X matches up better to the 5900X
Cheers. Impressed they've made such gains considering my i7 970 to the 3900x was considered a 50% improvement over a 10 year period.
considering the new 5800X3D with 96MB of L3 cache has been announced for $449 (in the US) I reckon I will wait a little longer to see the prices for the 5800X3D in Australia, otherwise I would grab this.
Omg I bought it for $1300 last year
Does Afterpay do a credit check? I've just bought a house and my mortgage broker said don't do any activity that requires a credit check or it will negatively impact your score. FYI I have an excellent score
Afterpay doesn't do a credit check, Klarna and LatitudePay do.
If you have an excellent score, what the problem?
I did the same recently. My broker explained to me that regardless of credit rating, each line of credit is "debt" from the lenders point of view. If your limit is $8k on a credit card, the lender sees that as $8k of debt, even if you have 0 owing on it.
Definitely a factor when you're applying for loans. But he just bought a house so… He's good. Generally.
Wonder how this compares to a 3700x, or will it go down further than this?
Highest end CPU that'll go in my X570, don't need the performance now but hoping to upgrade when it's at its cheapest to extend my computer for a couple more years.
Anyone know how cheap the 3950 got at its lowest?
Arrrgh have a 3900x and 3080 and play on 4k. Read its not really a big improvement at 4k but so so tempted.
At 4K you are gpu bound so you could run most cpus and it wouldn’t make much of a difference.
do it!
I would think that this would be a massive overkill for any kind of gaming.
Would I be correct?
Yep.
But don't let that stop you!
A 5900x would actually perform better for gaming, or any of the 12th gen intel cpus.
So what is this good for?
Everything else I suppose, rendering, converting video, compiling code, matlab.
Gaming requires strong single core performance, and 6-8 cores. This has 16 cores which are each slightly slower than the cores in a 5800x and 5900x.the other 8 cores will just sit there doing nothing.
@greatlamp: Yup so its tempting but Ill stop myself from wasting money and getting something that wont get used anymore than my 3700x at present for just basic gaming needs.
For people have money and want to get the best cpu line maybe?
This looks sufficiently overkill for my upcoming Nas/home assistant build, might wait for a non afterpay deal though
Definitely overkill for this. I'm running a Ryzen 3600 (6 core, 12 thread) with Proxmox running multiple VMs/LXCs (NAS, Home Assistant, Frigate, Plex, Unifi, etc) and my CPU usage is generally < 20%. CPU at idle is under 5%. I should mention that I have a Coral TPU so that does offload Frigate's ML work.
I ended up getting the 5950X to upgrade my desktop where I run multiple virtualized OSes for gaming and development. Although, I think it's probably overkill for this too. But at this price it's a stellar deal if you've already bought into AM4 and don't plan on upgrading to AM5.
Yes overkill. I've got an ancient HP Microserver N40L (2 core processor at 1.5 GHz with Vega 3 graphics) serving up TrueNAS+PLEX (1080p media) for my home and it manages just fine. The only time there would be a stutter is transcoding (CPU is limited in that server). I would say almost any APU or CPU these days (and even 4 gens back) would be suitable for NAS.
Focus on components like PSU and system stability (boring and stable is the outcome you want). In the many deals out today a 5600G would be more than sufficient (65W part vs 105W part on these higher CPUs). If you're willing to go the server market second hand Xeons and servers would also serve you quite well (no need to actually do a brand new build for everything).
This needs a trigger warning. I've just upgraded from an HP N36L to the 5950X for my unraid server.
I've got a AMD Athlon 200GE (dual core) CPU running home assistant + a bunch of other things and even that might be overkill. I paid $75.
My 5900x costed more than this :(. Amazing deal

*Operating System (OS) support will vary by manufacturer.Unless you really need those extra cores (most people won't), the 5900X for $594.15 is probably a better deal.
Damn, signed up for an afterpay account for this and the max limit seems to be $600. :-/.
Pssst. Buy eBay gift cards via woolworths online (you can buy them digitally) and use them to lower the total amount needed to be covered by afterpay.
get a Shopback app gift card for another 3% - $500+200 gift card
Add the $20 cachback offer on the app for Ebayso that leaves less than $40 for Afterpay
And total price closer to $700
Hmm this or $680 for tray 12900k?
