AMD's Ryzen 7 7800X3D Selling Nearly Twice as Fast as 5800X3D in Some Regions
AMD's cheapest Zen 4 X3D processor is shaping up to be its most popular. Sales numbers from Germany's Mindfactory posted by TechEpiphany seemingly shows the recently launched Ryzen 7 7800X3D outselling last year's Ryzen 7 5800X3D nearly 2:1, with 4,720 7800X3Ds selling to the 5800X3D's 2,510 over a few week period. While these figures show sales for only a single region, evidence for this momentum is reflected in other regional retailers as well as some global outlets. On Amazon, for example, the 7800X3D has made a frequent appearance on the top 10 best selling CPUs list, with the rest of the Zen 4 lineup trailing well behind. Newegg reports the 7800X3D to be among the top 5 best selling CPUs on the site at time of writing. Microcenter also shows the 7800X3D and 5800X3D side-by-side in seventh and eighth places respectively for popularity.
Despite recent troubles with the AM5 platform and Zen 4 X3D processors, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is proving to be quite a success for AMD. The 7800X3D in our review was shown to be one of the most efficient processors we've ever tested, and offered gaming performance at or near the top of the charts across the gauntlet of games and resolutions thrown at it. The staggered release of the 7000X3D lineup, with the 7950X3D and 7900X3D launching first and the 7800X3D launching later, gave early signals that AMD knew what they had and wanted to push as many early adopters away from the better value chip as they could. Pricing for the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has been steady since it released, however we've already seen retailers offering discounts on the Ryzen 9 7950X3D and Ryzen 9 7900X3D, as they presumably struggle to sell as well as the more aggressively positioned 7800X3D.

hopefully no chips die.
I have a B650E Strix, purchased with a 7900x and swapped to a 7800x3D... only updating the BIOS once to support the X3D chip (prior to the slew of BIOS updates when the voltage issue was discovered). I have no issues with HW. The 7900x chip is pristine, the 7800x3D is pristine, the motherboard is pristine... So what is special about my setup? Why didn't I encounter the issue? This is why the criteria and likelihood of occurrence is important.
I guess Gamernexus got a lot of clicks including one from me for that video.
the common consumer knows about xmp and expo imo, so its still an issue
I have a b650e-f, and i smelled a strong smell of burned electronics coming from my pc the other day, which has been followed by increasing amount of system instability. My guess is that the chip is at least semi fried, but i just haven't had the energy to pull it apart.
And this was while using default settings, no expo.No, cause if it was just expo voltage that was the issue, then no cpu would have died with default settings, which some have...
You might have a point if this were an Intel platform but given AM5 will have 3 generations of CPU support the number of people upgrading the first generation of boards is extremely high.
Most people buy a prebuilt, and do you honestly think that people who buys a prebuilt upgrade the bios ?
Ontopic; I'm actually quite surprised at how well these things sell, especially given the expo bug. Its also not the cheapest CPU... Damn.Yeah, I think its absolutely silly what motherboard vendors do wrt CPUs, I mean... OC out of the box - or auto OC voltages - is just a big fat nono in my book, regardless of whatever segment you're making products for. Any tweak they do on a board should be clearly and strongly supported by clear notifications - and not written in Chinglish with info missing.
Good.... report back on how the RMA process is being handled by AMD/Asus... :toast:
Maybe if they drop desktop phoenix apus soon prices move a bit, otherwise it's looking like a bottom
I think what we really do need for customers though is an extension of warranty and guarantee of a quick replacement at the customer's discretion for any CPU installed on a motherboard that set SOC above 1.3V automatically with EXPO enabled and that was sold before the BIOS fix was implemented.Same. SOC stays at a steady 1.24v. This is with DDR5 6000 CL30.
The CPU's aren't the issue.
