yeah man, imma spend whole ass console prices on a first gen platform high end CPU, great idea.

im sure all the people that got a 1900x are really happy with how AMD fucked them over on upgradability.

Still not worth it. Scam not CPU.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Cried in non usa ppl.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

You're not missing anything. It's a silly CPU.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (3 children)

The 7800x3d is also on sale for $386. Non-USA ppl are right to cry all along the CPU stack.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

5950X is $434

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Dang, that’s a good deal for a workstation.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

7900X3D is $688 CAD (Amazon)

7800X3D is $479 CAD (Best Buy) - this is the better deal

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Newegg has it around the same price (CAD) as Best Buy as well, just ordered mine.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I'd rather they make a 5950X3D. But I suspect it might be coming.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Me waiting for the 5800x3d to drop from $430 CAD this week 😭

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I got mine a while back for $180 using gift cards and coupons.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

After tax or?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Before

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

How?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Had a gift card I couldn't use. Amazon gave me extra money if I bought gift cards online.

So I bought a few gift cards up to the amount and it gave me a bunch of money, and boom. $180 5800x3d.

Edit: and it was on sale for $280

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (5 children)

I can't find any deals here in Aus, still sells for $549 AUD :( :(

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Bought mine last month from Amazon for $461

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That would be an insta buy right now, just hoping to see some deals this weekend.

Most prices on Ebay are marked up to $649 so they can pretend to offer a 20% discount, when in reality it's something like $20 off.

I'm refreshing ozbargain and staticice constantly now lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Why not go AM5? You can buy 7800x3d + tomahawk b650 for $820 in Australia atm(sale). Add some ram for 150 and you'll be good. Yes it'll cost double but you'd be buying into a platform that'll be supported for another 2 generations.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I'm looking to replace the CPU only, I don't have the budget for more than this

I already run a higher end b550 motherboard and B die RAM.

its crazy how gpu prices are making everything else fall in price

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Ah here I was thinking the holiday shopping season was the cause for all these sales…silly me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

definitely plays a part, just thought it was interesting as i have been monitoring prices, that the price of a full build really hasn't changed much despite a 4090 for example going up 400$, everything else has gone down in response

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

That's not what's going on. GPU isn't influencing the other prices.

CPU pricing is very competitive because Intel basically always keeps their prices + inflation, so when Zen 3 was priced higher, 12th gen was priced lower, when Zen 4 still priced higher, 13th gen was still priced lower. AMD tries to move pricing up and Intel keeps anchoring it back down, and then it ends up being them in a price war with sales. Even when Bulldozer was a disaster Intel didn't break change their pricing, this pricing scheme goes back over a decade.

GPU pricing is ridiculous because Nvidia loves it's profit margins and sets them high, and AMD simply joins in, slightly lower but usually with worth performance and certainly worse features, so Nvidia and customers don't care.

Then you have memory and storage prices tanking because DDR5 is now mature and there has been an glut, too much NAND produced when demand pulled back, leading to very good prices as manufacturers take losses.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

lol...its not that deep, the price of a asus strix 4080 is the same price of the MSRP on a 4090 rn...its just simple supply and demand, GPU prices have a large impact on what the average consumer can afford...anyways its a good time to buy everything other than a gpu right now.

7800X3D is a better deal

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

And a better CPU for gaming. And let’s be real if you’re getting an X3D processor, you’re probably gaming.
