[HOT] 5800X3D on sale for $279 at MC

If I still used my old AM4 system for gaming, I would jump on this in a heartbeat. Now it's just an AI box and also used for streaming on my entertainment center. Even so, this is tempting just to play around with...

I would get one if I didn't already have a 5800X in my AM4 backup system in case my AM5 system conks out for some reason.

Yeah, I have a 5950X in that AM4 setup, so it's pretty hard to justify considering chances are I "should" never have to use it for gaming again... but boy is it tempting just to toy with. 🫠 The 5950X is better for Ai workloads anyway because of the extra cores.
 
Unless you need the cores in a 5900X/5900XT/5950XT, the 5800X3D will smoke it when running the right game. It will also do this to a 5800X. I base this on comparisons of my 5900X and 5800X3D in exactly the same system except for the CPU.

Also, while it is faster with the right game, it also manages to consume less power doing so.
 
I would've been all over this for my kid, but 1) Nearest MC in either direction from me is about 8 hours round trip, and 2) I already have 2 5900X chips on my desk and one is going in the kid's rig.

I hate knowing the MC's be having insane deals, but are too far away from me. With the price of gas & tolls, it kills the deal :mad:

It's an item on Newegg's deal list on the 13th. It's $320 now, maybe it will be less?

Update: codes do not stack, the doorbuster price is the final price.

Yes, they might drop it to $249 to $279, based on $80 cut on 5800XT Doorbuster deal tomorrow. Since MC has 5800X3D on sale for $279, I'm guessing Newegg will meet or beat that price. I don't know if the extra discount codes will also work on top of doorbuster price at the Egg.

5800XT code BFF45
5800X3D code BFF43

But good luck getting a high demand item on Newegg's BF deals. Even if you're right on top of it, they'll still likely sell out by the time you checkout. I've only gotten lucky one drop out of many.
