AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D AM4 Processor Hits End-of-Life
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D has hit end-of-life, according to a ComputerBase.de report. Introducing the new 3D V-cache technology, the 5800X3D breathed life back into the Socket AM4 platform as Intel debuted its 12th Gen Core "Alder Lake" processors, while there was still some time to go before AMD could mount up a defense with Ryzen 7000 "Zen 4." AMD figured out a way to augment the 32 MB on-die L3 cache with an additional 64 MB stacked cache that appears as a contiguous 96 MB addressable block to software. Having such a large fast cache next to the CPU cores greatly enhances performance in gaming workloads.
The 5800X3D was able to match the gaming performance of Intel's flagship Core i9-12900K despite being based on the generationally older "Zen 3" microarchitecture, and being restricted with older DDR4 memory. It would go on to be an incredible upgrade option for those still on the Socket AM4 platform, giving them performance in league with Intel's 12th- and 13th Gen processors. As of this writing, US retailer Newegg no longer has the 5800X3D in stock. Amazon has it, and so do some of the smaller retailers. Across the pond, the chip is vanishing from European retailers. In the absence of the 5800X3D, users still have the option of the Ryzen 7 5700X3D and the 6-core 5600X3D, which were both launched in the last year.

If "Zen5%" applies to the 9800X3D too, then my 5800X3D will soldier on for another generation because nothing worthy has come along yet to make it look old and slow.Not quite true, the 5800X3D is matched pretty closely by a Ryzen7 7700, which is a relatively cheap CPU.
There are plenty of affordable B650 motherboards. Over here £110 gets you an mATX board with VRM heatsinks capable of handling the 230W PPT of Ryzen 9 CPUs, and they're hugely overkill for the little "65W" 7700 which is probably best set to about a 115-125W PPT for the best balance of performance and ease of cooling.
DDR5-6000 EXPO kits are much, much cheaper than they used to be. Whilst it's true DDR4 is cheaper still, you do save money on the CPU with a 7700 so that neatly offsets the slightly more expensive RAM. You said "affordable, so we're only talking 16 or 32GB kits which is a $/£/€15-30 difference between DDR4-3600 and DDR5-6000.
I paid $350 for my Asus Prime X570 Pro motherboard in 2019 The X670E version of this board I just saw on sale last week for $325.
And a 32GB kit of DDR5 6000 is like $170 I paid way more for my B-die kit 4x8 DDR4 3200 CL14.
So I intend to flip my current Board, Ram, CPU which should cut that upgrade cost in half.
Prices in CAD.
If I sell all 3 of those for $600 that covers new motherboard and ram. That just leaves the 9800X3D cpu.
I figure I'll wait till AMD is on the cusp of releasing AM6 and snag one of those RAM/mobo/CPU used bundles for $300 off ebay with the last AM5 x3D processor that gets released and then ride that for another 3-4 years.
Pretty dull also, all locked down apart from voltage boost curve.
I wanted one of these soo bad but I buckled down to wait for am5 platform to do a complete upgrade.
It would do 5.05Ghz single though with PBO.
Was a golden sample also.
To those who complain about high costs with DDR5 based rigs, do shop around there are always deals & specials going on almost 24/7 these days.
I also understand how the market works thank you. It is only now that AMD is saying the part is being discontinued, and I stated it was actually 6 weeks ago now.
Many workloads with a working set size larger will still benefit if they're memory bandwidth or latency constrained. More cache reduces main memory access in almost all workloads.
