Eight new Ryzen processors are now available to DIY customers and SI partners, according to a press release that AMD shared ahead of CES 2024 last month.

I was waiting for the 5700X3D but seeing that it is barely cheaper than the 5800X3D it's not the deal I was hoping for.
 
Odd to me that the 7000 series saw no expansion but the 5000 series saw several.

It's 20% cheaper for roughly 95% of the performance. Seems like a good deal to me.

I think the 5800X3D would be a better value at $290.

It's only $40 cheaper here. Maybe it will go down once the new product tax wears off, but right now it doesn't seem right.
95%? It is more than 10% lower on clocks, how can it be 95% performance? Are there some architectural changes compared to the 5800X3D?

In modern gaming you really won't notice it. If you were playing/doing something that's really hammering all cores at near 100% or something that is single threaded, sure.

As for the price. I don't know where "here" is. But in the U.S. the price on a 5800X3D is $310-315 depending on vendor. With the 5700X3D coming in at $249, even if it performs 10% less, it's still 20% cheaper.
 
Here in the Benelux, the cheapest 5800X3D is 284.35€ and the 5700X3D 267.37€
 
If you absolutely need an IGP for some super compact build, the 8700G is pretty impressive.

But it is priced too high to compete with mid to low end discrete GPU's.

For about $100 less than a 8700G, you can get an i3-12100F and a Radeon 6500xt, and in this combo the 6500 xt (which is a really ****ty GPU) will beat the 8700G in most titles.

Get close to parity (but likely still slightly cheaper) and you can get an i3-12100F and a Radeon 6600, and absolutely blow the 8700G away across the board except in certain very specific CPU limited scenarios.

For $30 more than a 8700G, you can get an i3-12100F and a Radeon 7600, and we are not even in the same realm anymore.

Heck, you could also get a 5000 series Ryzen CPU in an AM4 socket, and take advantage of cheaper DDR4 RAM, and get an even better deal, and blow away the 8700G. Not on pure CPU benchmarks, but in most practical real world gaming that doesn't have odd CPU limits, certainly.

But, if you want to build a super-compact Mini Box M350-style Mini-ITX build, where no expansion card will fit the 8700G is pretty amazing:

What it can do, and fit in a package this size (if powered by a PicoPSU and external power brick is) pretty insane...

Just need to find a halfway decent cooler that is intel box cooler height or lower (~45mm) Noctua NH-L9i/a maybe?

Heck, feed this thing 12v from a car directly into a PicoPSU, and a PicoUPS in Car Mode and you have a pretty **** impressive carputer. Just strap it in under a seat or something, and run display and usb to a touch screen mounted in the dash, and trun audio (either on board, or external USB DAC to your head units aux input (or hard wire to amp) and this could be really cool.

I bought my brother a Radeon 7600. It's a fantastic 1080 card. I mean he was using a RX570. The improvement there alone was staggering. It's amazing the improvements you can get at the bottom end with a simple GPU upgrade.
