Phoronix: AMD Announces Ryzen 7 5800X3D Shipping On 4/20, New Mainstream CPUs

AMD today announced the ship date and suggested pricing for their much anticipated Ryzen 7 5800X3D processor as well as new Ryzen 7/5/3 series processors...

Really? Y'all couldn't lower that price by $29?

The highest performing desktop AMD processor shipping on 4/20 for $420. The AMD 420 Special.

That ad just writes itself.

I think I'd rather see AMD adopt a big.LITTLE architecture.

I think I'd rather see AMD adopt a big.LITTLE architecture.

I would not (I mean specifically desktop CPUs). Unless ISA between big and little cores are identical and full featured, not that disabled AVX512 (and few others) nonsense Intel did for AL.

I think I'd rather see AMD adopt a big.LITTLE architecture.

I think I'd rather them do it via software and scheduling than hardware where the E-cores are "simply" limiting one or more of the CPU's nodes frequency to only use 50% or less power (or something like that). Like drakonas777, I, too, don't want to end up varying instruction sets.

I was hoping for low end 4 core zen 3 processors with the graphics built in for file server builds where a stand-a-lone graphics card isn't necessary but still needed for bios updating and such. Like the 2400G .... at a $100 max price point.

I see no problem with desktops/workstations with all big cores. Power isn't an issue in that arena.

A Ryzen 3 7100? I think you meant 4100 at the bottom there, Michael. Thanks for the blurb.

If you've been paying attention, the dollar is rapidly inflating, and the real retail price of these may easily be higher than MSRP for a while.

Indeed AMD doesn't really have anything at the low end anymore to compete with the likes of Celeron 4125L etc.. they are competitive $/perf still but not on a $ per $ basis. I just need a small AMD box to do pfSense etc... the closest can get right now is a full blown NAS but that is poor value and the CPU is rather old Zen 1 at this point.

Not in the short term. I got the impression from the interwebs that the AMD 5xxx series has better perf-per-watt with just P cores alone, compared to that big.little E+P core combo that the Intel 12xxx has on offer.
