![]() ![]() In this case, I played several games on it, as well as using my standard battery of built-in benchmark tests to get comparable numbers. Primarily, this is a gaming-focused chip, so I spent the most time looking at its gaming performance. I put this chip through our standard battery of tests, but given the limited availability and the fact that this is a last-gen chip, I only compared it to the best AM4 chip of the last-gen (and the one I'd still broadly recommend to those who can't find the Ryzen 5 5600X3D), the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Primarily gaming, but also some productivity and creative work. ![]() I can't hold that against this chip per se, but I do wish that this was the chip offered last year rather than the 5800X3D - and that gamers outside the US could get their hands on it. ![]() There's no getting around the fact though that gamers who did buy the Ryzen 7 5800X3D could have gotten the same performance for cheaper, but didn't. These chips are so good that they pretty much blow up any reason to buy the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, and naturally, AMD would want to sell the chip that's going to make it the most money. If there is a knock on this chip, it is that AMD never seemed to want to release it, which makes business sense at least. I don't think anyone knows how many of these chips are going to be available or for how long. AMD only made so many of these chips, and they aren't planning on making more, so if you want to head over to your local Micro Center location and pick one up, you'll have to move somewhat fast I imagine. So the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D is only available in the US through Micro Center stores, at an MSRP of $229, while supplies last.
