AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D Priced at $450, Mid-April Launch Pricing of Other New Chips Surface
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, the company's ambitious new 8-core/16-thread Socket AM4 processor that claims to match the Core i9-12900K "Alder Lake" in gaming performance, will launch at an MSRP of USD $449, according to prices of several upcoming AMD Ryzen processors leaked to the web. The 5800X3D is clocked lower than the 5800X, with 3.40 GHz base and 4.50 GHz boost frequencies, but the large 96 MB L3 cache from the 3D Vertical Cache memory, overcomes this.
The Ryzen 7 5700X is an interesting new 8-core/16-thread part. It's based on the "Vermeer" MCM just like the 5800X, and unlike the 5700G that's based on the "Cezanne" monolithic silicon. The 5700X is clocked at 3.40 GHz base, with 4.60 GHz boost, compared to the 3.80 GHz base and 4.70 GHz boost frequency of the 5800X. The Ryzen 7 5700X is launching at $299 MSRP, which implies that the company is cutting the MSRP of the Ryzen 5 5600X that originally occupied this price-point.
Update Mar 9th: Correction: the Ryzen 5 5500 is a 6-core/12-thread part.
Speaking of Ryzen 5, we see the introduction of the new Ryzen 5 5600 (non-X). This part, too, is based on the "Vermeer" MCM, just like the 5600X, but with reduced clock speeds. It ticks at 3.50 GHz base, with 4.40 GHz boost; compared to the 3.70 GHz base and 4.60 GHz boost frequency of the 5600X. AMD is pricing this part at $199 MSRP, making it the true successor to the Ryzen 5 3600. It's interesting to note here that AMD is launching the 5700X and 5600 despite stating that the "Cezanne" based 5600G and 5700G APUs succeed the 3600 and 3700X, respectively.
Yet another interesting part is the Ryzen 5 5500, which unlike its predecessor, the 3500, is seeing a wider retail-channel launch. This is a 6-core/12-thread part and 16 MB of L3 cache instead of 32 MB on the 5600 (X). At this point we don't know if the 5500 is based on the "Vermeer" MCM or the "Cezanne" monolithic die (with its iGPU disabled), given its L3 cache size. The chip is priced at $159, and AMD likely wants this to square off against the Core i3 "Alder Lake" quad-core parts.
Lastly, there are the Ryzen 5 4600G, Ryzen 5 4500, and Ryzen 3 4100. These three are very likely based on the "Zen 2" based "Renoir" monolithic silicon. Apparently AMD is sitting on heaps of them, and wants to flood the desktop market with them. From these the 4500 and 4100 come with the iGPU of the "Renoir" silicon disabled.
As for availability, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is expected to launch on April 20, 2022. We have no information on the launch dates of the other parts (although we expect them to be around that time).

64 Comments on AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D Priced at $450, Mid-April Launch Pricing of Other New Chips Surface
At least AMD will have some new budget parts to keep AM4 going until DDR5 becomes more readily available, with one new high performance gaming part with the X3D (render/cinebench 'holics can keep the 5950x)
its a usless discussion if a i3 have 74 fps or a Ryzen 5600 have 116 in 720p,
if my games are in the gpu limit on 1200p medium.
i prefer to play on 60fps vsync max out than 120+fps on low.
also 75c is fine tbh
If you bought 5800X now, then can only assume you have not been watching the news.
Personally 450 is better than i hoped. Since AMD in their slides was comparing it to 12900K i feared they were gonna charge 499 or even 549 for it. So if it ends up at 449 that's not the worst price.
It will be a nice upgrade from 3800X i have. Still way cheaper than building a new DDR5 plaform along with inevitable first gen issues (new socket and DDR standard plus architecture).
Fine? no. You lose performance as the CPU's throttle as well as get the joys of the fan going bonkers.
(And yes, PBO reducing the boost is throttling - any performance loss at all, is a throttle)
