Hello everyone, I'm considering upgrading my 2700X with a 5700X3D. The cost here in Europe has been gradually decreasing, from around 280 EUR at launch to about 230 EUR now. I'm not in a rush, so do you think this price will fall even more? Or is it likely to reach its lowest point before rising again? Also, will AMD continue producing this model for a long time? The 5800X3D also saw a price drop from launch to about 280 EUR, but has since risen slightly to 315 EUR. Thanks!
I worked with the 5800x3d last year and they phased out the 5700x3d. By now, you shouldn't expect AMD to skip another AM4 CPU, which should help maintain current prices. I bought the 5800x3d for £280, and after the 5700x3d was released, the price jumped from £280 to over £320. My concern was whether older parts would face stock problems compared to newer models, but I don't think that's a major issue.
I think the 5700X3D might not match up with the 5800X3D in performance, based on what @Ottoman420 mentioned. Since AM4 seems unlikely to get another CPU update, the 5700X3D could stay steady around 230EUR, possibly shifting slightly or dropping. With the upcoming AMD releases expected in Q3/4, it might even decline later this year, pushing the 5000 series further back but I don’t expect a big price drop if it happens.
If the 5700X non-3D chip is significantly more affordable, I suggest choosing it. With a solid PBO overclock, the 5700X can boost performance by up to 15% in certain tasks. In gaming, the noticeable difference between the 5700X and 5700X3D will only be relevant if your GPU is powerful enough, such as an RTX 3090 or RTX 4080.
