I mean 5600x3d is only in microcenter so that rules out a huge portion of buyers. I'd almost have to choice but to buy the 5700x3d (assuming it's available to me)

It'll keep up, the 5600x3d is rather consistently behind 5800x3d by 5-10% because of the fewer cores. 5600x3d is clearly ahead of a 5700x and 5800x by a decent deal over 10%, I think the 5700x3d will generally perform like a 5600x3d but with much more stable multitasking while gaming. Naturally, lends it definitely ahead of a 5700x in games. Maybe this is a 4.1 all core guarantee, where a few cores could boost higher?

The 5500x3d is what I wonder about, with a price like the 5600 has it'd be an incredible budget cpu, but the omission of two cores will make more sensitive as it deals with OS and other apps lending only three undisturbed. Eventually it'll perform like a 5600 maybe even lower average but perhaps still more stable fps.

Kind of thinking the same thing but no idea on actual performance. I picked up the 5600x3d a few days ago just haven’t had time to build it, and that gets within a few percent of the 5800x3d performance in most titles. I’m thinking the lower clock speeds will play a big role in performance compared to cores.
