Should post this (seems not posted yet?). Good deal.
This has been this price on many sites for a while now (since the 7series came out). I bought this cpu for $330 1week before the release and came on special later. Pccg, SE, CC, JW, most sites. Just gotta pick the cheapest shipping from them.
I should mention these full PC builds, one which has 5700X, for those looking for an entire PC build:

Not really a good deal, outside of the 5800X3D in specific cases, the further you go up with AM4 the worse of a deal it becomes, because it loses to LGA1700 pretty hard in everything but gaming performance, where its about even due to its bigger L3 cache (see a pattern here?). If you're running a workload that actually start to need more cores, just fork out the extra $70 or so for a 12600K or a 13500, not only do you get more cores you get much higher multi and single thread performance, not to mention QSV. If you're just looking to game and trying to get the most bang for your buck, the 5600 is $200.
it makes me feel that you just squeezed out every tech word about CPU you know and puke it here.
the further you go up with AM4 the worse of a deal it becomes
admittedly 5700x never had as good of a value compare against it's 6 core/ 12 core siblings, but 5900x/5950x have loads of core for cheap, decent for multi-thread task. (single core isn't that weak either)
where its about even due to its bigger L3 cache (see a pattern here?).
Good to hear you talking about L3 cache without mentioning about architecture —— why don't you get a 3700x instead of a 5700x? that also have 32MB cache (see a pattern here?)
because it loses to LGA1700 pretty hard in everything but gaming performance
LGA1700(non K) is about even on gaming performance with less multi core performance, LGA1700 (K skus) wins in gaming performance. But it will suck when E-Core scheduling doesn't work —- 5900/5950 won't suffer this ever. AND even when e-core is actually working, it's not that much better than having 12/16 real cores.
If you're running a workload that actually start to need more cores, just fork out the extra $70 or so for a 12600K or a 13500
what if the workload is not compatible with Intel cheater cores (aka E-Cores), disable them? then you end up with a 6 core CPU.
Also, how many percent is 70 out of 299? how about also factor in motherboards?

Over the cost of an overall build, account for the performance difference? Not that much. Not to mention the 5900X and 5950X are hot CPUs requires a board with capable VRM, which drives up the price significantly, whereas decent LGA1700 boards has dropped down in price, most recently the $200 Z690 deal.

$500 and $750 at this point in time for a dead platform is anything but cheap.Good to hear you talking about L3 cache without mentioning about architecture —— why don't you get a 3700x instead of a 5700x? that also have 32MB cache (see a pattern here?)
Zen 3 loses out to Alder Lake in both single and multi-threaded performance. The only redeeming factor for Zen 3 is gaming performance, due to Alder Lake's crippled L3 cache size, which wasn't fixed until Raptor Lake (13600K and higher, not the rebadged Alder Lake parts), which is why the 5600 is competitive with the 12400 in gaming despite being beaten in every other categories. The pattern here is that the 5800X3D was the best gaming CPU for the exact same reason.

Gaming are predominantly single/low core workloads.

Big.Little has been in used in the mobile CPU section of the market for nearly a decade at this point, and its been 2 years since Alder Lake, most common productivity workload deals well with it now. Its up to the user to do their research and make sure if there's any compatibility issues. And if you're in an industry where this plays a significant part in the decision making process… why are you offloading your research to a random stranger on the internet?
Was MUCH cheaper a month ago
A great CPU for anyone on the AM4 platform. Single core performance of the more expensive and much hotter 5800x3d is superior for gamers, but this CPU has amazing performance per watt for most users with 8 cores/16 threads for just 65w.
That said, the price is not spectacular. I paid $311 for one in October last year, and it’s regularly on special for less than this.
Amazon currently has it available for $295 shipped @ https://www.amazon.com.au/AMD-Ryzen-5700X-16-Thread-Processo…
I think I picked mine up for about $270-ish from Computer Alliance during their anniversary sales. Couldn't justify the 5800x3d price tag just yet.
eBay has it for $289.9 delivered stacking with 10% cashback from Shopback starting from 7pm:
