The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D arrives in Argentina for 75 thousand pesos

Many say that it is a processor that you will love or hate, on the love side we are talking about its price being 75 thousand Argentine pesos vs the 110 thousand pesos that an Intel Core i9-12900K costs, although on the AMD side a Ryzen 9 5900X costs 69 thousand pesos, but you will hate it if you compare price performance with an Intel Core i5-12600KF, to work better in almost everything (except games) and costs only 45 thousand pesos, 35 thousand pesos less than the AMD CPU.

Let’s not get into pointless discussions of who tastes better and other things, based on an average of 15 reviews, from websites like Tom’s Hardware, TechPowerUp, SweClockers, KitGuru o ComputerBaseadding up to 130 performance tests, the Core i5-12600K is 10.5% slower in games at a cost of 40% less, while a Core i7-12700K is only 5.4% slower, and has a price of 57 thousand pesos 24% cheaper, all this is if we only focus on games.

In everything else an INTEL Core i5-12600K is better

Now, in daily performance, in applications, in AMD’s famous Cinebench, the Core i5-12600K is up to 8.1% faster, the Core i7-12700K is up to 34.2%, and well the Core i9-12900K is up to 58.1% while the Core i9-12900KS is up to 62.1% faster.

If you already have an AMD motherboard, the investment will be less, but if you have a Ryzen 5 5600X it is throwing money away even though it performs less in games. I advise you not to make the change if you don’t have something much worse or if you have money left over, of course. If they have a Ryzen 3000 it might be worth it, but the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is worth more than a Ryzen 9 5900X.

The B660 motherboards for Intel have a good price and are mostly compatible with DDR4, obviously if you want to upgrade to the best you will have to spend on a new motherboard with DDR5.

AMD does have the best gaming CPU, but at what price?

The Ryzen 7 5800X3D has nothing new, it is a Ryzen 7 5800X with more cache memory, it does not have more cores or threads and it reaches Base/Turbo frequencies of 3.40/4.50 GHz compared to 3.80/4.70 GHz of the original model.
