Were you listening in on my conversation with a friend, about an in-socket for his 2700x last Monday?!
It's funny how much of a coincidence it is, but I also told him that, even when his GPU is still an RX 580, he might see some gains in some games, because the IPC of the 5000 series is just much better.
On the other hand, I currently have an i5 12400f upgrade set (that I wanted to use, to build a PC to sell on marketplace), that might also be an option to upgrade his parts. He currently has an X470 board, so it would also upgrade several other things in terms of I/O AND it is actually a relatively cheap option. The 12400f is, even new, cheaper than a used 5700X or 5800X (at least here in The Netherlands) right now. Although he would then make a platform switch, the remaining X470 board can still be sold for quite a bit of change and like I said before, would come with some benefits, like improved I/O speeds, or even just the option of installing 3 M.2 drives at the same time, rather than 2 (on this specific B660 board).
Although a 12400F is a bit slower on multi core tasks than the 5800X, but that's the difference between 12, or 16 threads.
The 5800X3D would of course be ideal, but 300,- even on the used market is a bit steep when compared to the other alternatives, when just looking at the price.
By the way, it's a good thing you mentioned the power supply, because I totally forgot about that. I think we may have talked about his PSU, but he doesn't know for sure the wattage it has and if he also (eventually) wants to upgrade his GPU, the biggest hurdle might indeed be his PSU, with how powerhungry newer cards can be. Then again, looking at his budget, he might not go for anything more powerful than an RTX 3060, which actually uses slightly less power than an RX580. Looking at a gen older, the RTX 2070, or 2080 might come cheaper, but also uses a little more power AND can come with higher power spikes.
So yeah, we would need to check what power supply he has and what it can handle.
So, again, big coincidence and a great help. Thanks!!

I like Gamers Nexus, and I understand relative benchmarks. But this video is the perfect example which will not help at all to anyone. I do not say that a detailed comparison should not contain some relative CPU power bottleneck tests, but at least especially if we would like to give some advice to someone who has a 2700/2700x now should receive at least 1-2 realistic benchmarks as well. A guy with a 2700 who does not able to change to the latest high end does not have an RTX4090. And anyone who has a RTX4090 willl never play F1 in 1080p becuse that guy has a 4k monitor :) The guy with a 2070 maybe have or will buy an RTX 3060/4060 and it means that most of the high end CPUs makes no sense to him. So maybe we should have far less high end CPU in this kind of videos and at least 1-2 additional relalistic comparison for a guy who will never use 4090 :) Please please please at least 1 or 2 times per year we should have some real test to average guys who has - based on the steam survey - 16 gigs ram, 6 core cpu, with an rtx 3060 and a 1080p monitor :) They also marvel at videos showing the latest technology, but maybe they could benefit from something as well. To be honest I would like to see a championchip between Jay2Cent/Gamers Nexus/ TechLinus and others to build 500/1000/1500/2000 dollar builds and test them against each other to see how they measure the best CPU/GPU combo and where they plan to spare a few dollars. THAT would be AWSOME!

Oh hey this is my upgrade path!
Went from a 2700x that I bought with a x470 Gaming-F back when it originally launched, then got a 5800x3D when it launched and plopped it into the motherboard after a BIOS update. 0 issues with using it, although it has a habit of running a bit hot (65-75-ish in gaming, will easily peg at 90C during cinebench, under a NH-D15 single fan and lax fan curve, unsure if that is a slightly bad mount/paste spread or what).
Gaming performance was fine with the 2700x, I originally had a 1070 when I got that CPU playing at 1080p, later got a 1440p monitor and fps was less (obviously) but still good for the most part. Then I got the x3D and performance was noticeably better, before getting a 6900XT after my 1070 started dying. A year after I got the 6900XT I also upgraded my monitor from standard 1440p 240Hz to 3440x1440 175Hz.
Considering the vast majority of my computer usage are games as opposed to productivity, the x3D chip was an amazing choice for me.
Once I upgrade from AM4, I doubt I'll choose a regular CPU over an x3D-CPU, most of the gaming performance is just amazing (for the 6/8-cores, 12 and 16 cores are more hit or miss without tinkering apparently), and their relatively low power usage is a bonus, even if they run a bit hotter.

I got an X570 board late 2020 and stuck out the drought with a 2700X for 18 months, was a wonderful chip, a few oddities about it in some situations but generally was best bang for buck at the time during the great drought and mass profiteering by AMD among others. Moved to a 5800X there after and eventually when I find one for the right sensible price, I may jump to an X3d or a 5950 for a year before I finally move over to the new lot, if I feel I need it.
I have never been one for early adoption of new platforms, price is always as high as the headaches that come with it. For me, Best buying mid platform life onwards as then they have wiped out most kinks and the boards have advanced a gen or two in chipsets for the new platform.
As for GPU's. Nvidia and AMD can take a run and jump, ARC is shaping up to be best bang for buck over time so I may well jump there when I feel my 3070 no longer does what I want but at 110fps in cyberpunk 1440p high with ray tracing I think I will be fine for a while. Weird point on that game, I get massively better frame rates using AMD FSR than I do with DLSS on this card (EVGA FTW edition)

as someone who bought a non X CPU 3 times only to return them and get an X cpu right after that fact is AMD really is binning these chips as my first Ryzen CPU a 1600 would not boost above it's base clock and it was not the MOBO either as I had an Asus X370 ROG Gaming-f can't even OC as any attempt to increase frequency ends with a no Boot bios was fully up to date but as soon as I returned my Ryzen 1600 and got a Ryzen 1600X it was fine I was even able to OC to 4.1GHZ on all cores then I got myself a Ryzen 2600 and it did the exact same thing can't OC boost doesn't work correctly got a 2600x and it worked great got an OC of 4.3GHZ all core. I honestly thought I had terrible luck with the silicon lottery so I sold my MOBO and processor then got myself a Ryzen 3700 and an Asrock X470 Master it was fine boosted OK but I can't OC at all it would always end with a BSOD so I did it again returned my non X 3700 and got a 3700X then walla easy OC to 4.5GHZ all core.

Replaced my 2700x at the beginning of this year, as the upgrade was pretty cheap and put some additional life into my PC. In the end I went from 2700x, RX580, 16 GB RAM to 5700x, 6700 XT and 32 GB Ram.... Was it worth it? Hell yeah, that PC is alive for another 3-4 years. Do I still drool over benchmarks for newer stuff? Of course... But it as a purposeful choice for me. As I don't spend that much time on my gaming PC anymore, anyways...Was also pretty shocked to find out, that the 14 Inch Asus G14 that I bought last month for only 1260 Euro... Is almost as powerfull, as my beast (yeah it's still a bit off, but for that price and formfactor?).... That thing is with me right now in the US, as I have to spend 4 months over here... And it's doing a great job... That makes me also question the upgrade-choices I made earlier this year, but... That's a whole different story.

Im going from 1700x to 5600g. I got a new case,CPU, 2tb SSD and went from 470 to 550 on the mb. ran me up to 370 The only thing I'm using from the previous build is my 32g G-Skill memory and 1200w ps. I was thinking I'd throw my water cooled Radeon 64 in there but turns out it's all rusty and no longer works ?!? tf... But the 1080 GTX is still working in pumping out the numbers so it looks like that's what it will be. The prices are so ridiculous I think everybody's just going to start going mini PC... I would have got that instead but I don't want anything less than oculink right now and it's too maddening of a situation to deal with so I'll wait till thunderbolt 5 next year... Should be pretty awesome bro maybe then but only then will I consider purchasing another video card. I still can't believe they want over 2,000... (Creeps)

I began my AM4 journey with the 2600X and ran that until I upgraded to a 5600X (I'll happily pay a tenner for 10% extra performance, no overclocking and the obvious coolness that comes with the letter X :p ). I'm on the fence with the easy upgrade to the 5800X3D or the 7800X3D hard upgrade to AM5. The latter is way more expensive short term but long term it'd save money. I did consider switching to Intel but while the performance looks decent, that power draw man. It's so weird because before AM4 I was on an i5 4460 which I bought specifically because it ran cooler and quieter than the AMD equivalent. How the tables have turned :)

i upgraded my old rig with a 4790k from 2014 for a new prebuilt with with a 2700x in it in 2020. since its 4 years newer and and has double the cores i thought this would give me a nice performance upgrade.
turns out the gaming performance of those 2 CPUs is basically identical. luckily i could upgrade to a 5800x3D but only cause AMD was pressured into supporting the 5000 series on older motherboards.
all this tells me that basically anyone who bought a 2700x for gaming back when it released was a gigantic fool. The 2700x is a piece of junk that should never have been sold for more then 200 bucks.

Im still waiting for the 5800x3d to drop a little more in price, or for a used one to show up locally cheap. I am on a 3800x atm so its a big upgrade, but not big enough I must have it right now. In a year or so though, perhaps it will be that must have and cheaper than a whole new board, ram, and CPU combo. Although AMD's latest gen and DDR5 is tempting the board costs right now are kinda on the high side. I guess I'm in a good spot with a more than usable system with a cheap upgrade path available when I need it, and the option to also just upgrade fully when prices come down on latest gen.

Went from a 2700X to 5800X3D last year because I noticed it started to show its age. Those 50-100% boosts to FPS, usually including lows, are no joke.
As a side note, those FFXIV numbers from the benchmark tool still don't compare to playing online with actual players. Same applies to any online multiplayer game obviously. And I understand it's impossible to get consistent meaningful data like that, besides something crazy like running through the newest alliance raids and Limsa Lominsa during busy hours with 40 different botted systems at the same time.

I went from an i7-4790 (o at 4.2) to a X470 with a 3700X, as the 2700/X didn't seen to be enough of an upgrade, then some time I went with a 5800X3D because this time it was a huge upgrade (on most games). It's a crazy chip. A friend of mine is getting one soon as well to replace his 90 5600. I also upgraded to a X570 Aorus Xtreme because I needed 10gbe and a second low power gpu for monitors (pcie 2.0 x1 or 4 at the bottom lol).
I think I won't be upgrading again until Ryzen 10000 or whatever comes next at the end of DDR5.

The bigger reason for computers slowing down over time is the SSD. They work by charging the cell, but time/reading from it causes that charge to weaken making the drive work harder to error correct for it leading to slow read times. After several years of not rewriting some bit of data it can cause the speeds to hit HDD rates. A full rewrite of that stagnant data (or the whole drive) would refresh that charge and restore normal transfer speeds. Or the 'normal' way of just reinstalling the OS.

I'm glad this CPU is being covered as I have a R7 2700 myself. Through many videos I've come across bench marking the R5, I've rarely seen any videos show the performance of what my CPU can do which I perceive as good news. Since these new games are now making use of the R7 chips now, I think I'll bump myself up to a R9 series w/out the need to get an AM5 MOBO in the future. It's good to see the R7 2700 still keeping up with new and current games though, makes me grateful I went sort of big when I did!

My 3600 is still working fine. It's also set to run at 1.13xx volts 4.2 ghz (standard max boost I guess) since I got it, which ironically gives 400-500 more points in cinebench, higher (or equal) max average and min fps while also being 10-15 c cooler depending on workload and more stable temps in idle, compared to standard settings with pbo and all that jazz.. I don't know it's that's normal for the 3600 or if I got a golden sample, but I'm still happy with it. I'm too poor to upgrade anyway lol...

Loving the content and nostalgia : my 1st Ryzen cpu around 2018 was a 2700x, bought from a local Micro Center...and later to a 3700x, 5700x and now a 5800X3D. (around the same time I got the 2700x, is when I started watching Gamers Neuxs!). I am very much satisfied with AM4 for what I do with my build, and not so much in a hurry to upgrade to AM5, but it does offer a compelling proposition in performace as an upgrade path, especially with the 7800X3D cpu. Again thanks for the content. Well done!

Nice re-visit as always, performance upgrade possibility for first am4 chipset is incredible.
That time was anniversary discount for Asus Crosshair VI and price was around 140euro (hero) and 180e (extreme) for new ones.
Pair it with ryzen 5xxx, rofl. And posibility of holes for AM3 cooler :-D ...
(i am running on vi extreme, 3950x (before fx8370) with V8 GTS cooler :-D).
Anyway, Also could by interesting compare temperature. That time was stock settings of cpu so much cooler than now.

Nice re-visit as always, performance upgrade possibility for first am4 chipset is incredible.
That time was anniversary discount for Asus Crosshair VI and price was around 140euro (hero) and 180e (extreme) for new ones.

I'm still confused if I should go for 7800x3d + mb + ram or just go for 5800x3d. If I buy new motherboard and ram, the next CPU that'll get will be like 4 years later and I can use the same mb and ram. So that way, I will have bought 2 processors, 1 motherboard and 1 ram kit. But if I go for 5800x3d maybe I'll save money for now but when 4 years later I'll need to buy motherboard and ram again. So I think it's same stuff. But I'm still confused which one I should go for

I wasn't sure I wanted to build a pc in the beginning of 2019, I new generation of CPUs would be coming out later that year. I got a b450 motherboard I put a 2200g on it, I was pleased with it, so I put a graphics card on, an rx580, it did the trick, and when the new generation of CPUs came out, I got a 3600x, at that time the 2700 and 2700x were a very similar price, I was tempted. Well now that same motherboard has a 5800x3d and a 7900xtx, very pleased.

Using the 4090 as the GPU for these tests makes sense from the perspective of showing the maximum difference you could expect from these CPU upgrades. But I think most people still rocking a 2700 right now probably aren't in the market to get the biggest and baddest card out there. For a more accurate representation of what 2700 owners could expect from an upgrade to their actual systems, I would have liked to see these charts done with a more mid-range GPU.
