Looking for a 5800X3D with your specs, but it seems rare. A 5700X3D might be a better option if you're open to upgrading slightly.

It's clearly an improvement, though honestly, it's not worth the trouble. If you need anything from your existing chip—like another device or a trade—then it makes sense, but otherwise I wouldn't bother.

Supporting @Imakuni's view here. The 5700x3d is definitely an improvement, but at that stage it makes more sense to sell your current hardware—CPU and RAM—and upgrade to an AM5 board rather than swapping an existing AM4 CPU, especially since you already have one of the top AM4 gaming chips. There are also cases where the 3D cache isn't much help, and the CPU remains unchanged.

5700x3D matches closely with 5800x3D, making it a solid choice

It's better to choose a higher price if you can, as it offers more value.

Selling everything should bring in around $300, which is still a significant improvement but not a major jump. It's more of a different choice since the 5700x3d isn't the best upgrade in this case. I'm not saying op has to follow this path.

It seems you're questioning whether it's a good idea. A solid choice for the 5800x looks promising.

Sidegrade indicates they offer no advantage or equal value, making it a poor choice.

5800x3D is no longer in production; it has been swapped for 5700x3D. That said, I believe unless we're facing severe budget constraints, adding a new AM4 chip offers little value now.

I note 5800x3D as a side grade of 5700x3D. OP lists 5800x, but in the discussion about 5800x→5700x3D it's not a side grade because you're gaining significant 3D cache advantages. The real issue is whether you actually need those benefits... Interestingly, the misunderstood point holds true—if you don<|pad|>'s 3D cache advantage, it's essentially a side grade, no matter if the fps tracking software detects any change.
