    AMD need to seriously consider an answer to Intel Core i3 and H610 boards sooner rather than later. If they want to get people over the line with their new AM5 socket, they really need to focus on lowering overall platform costs. AMD has historically been great for platform longevity, and considering that AMD CPUs can run really well at lower TDPs, I can see entry level boards being more than enough for gamers and a decent entry point.

      Budget PC's cost so much at the moment, and the video card venders have such a bad reputation - along with mining and Covid. Prices are through the roof, and I think most people would prefer a Steam Deck at £500 and just wait for a better time to invest in AM5.

      Of course a £200 motherboard you use for 5 years it cheaper than a £180 motherboard you replace every 2-3 years.
      Would an AM6 motherboard thats £120 be considered cheap if AM7 released a year later with another socket entirely..... and AM8... and AM9.....

      The budget market is quiet appealing these days with AM4 systems. Buying a used Ryzen 2600/ 3600 and upgrading to 5700 or even 5800 X3D in like 12 - 18 months is very appealing and although AM4 is called a "dead platform" from reviewers, it's going to be still around for several years from now on, so even an upgrade from a Ryzen 5 3600 is very much and easy possible in like 2 years from now.
      That makes it much more appealing than those Intel i3. The only extreme case I could think of is buying a new board with DDR 5, go with the 12100 for some time and then switch to 13700 or something. But since Intel did Intel things with older generations of CPU where basically the same ... I'd go with AMD.
      So a Ryzen 7400X or even 7200 with integrated RDNA3 architecture would be nice ... but is not necessary for a budget build these days!

      TBH, nobody cares about i3 + H610 market. i5 + B660 is bare minimum for most gamers, and they are willing to pay. "gaming PC" is also a exclusive product, so if u cannot afford it, u simply are not buying it because u got more important things on your list to provide to life.
      I just wanted to buy a entry level motherboard for my friend - B450 is non-existent as new from shops, they are left with 90+ temp VRMS like shit Asus or Asrock. Cheapest B550 is Gigabyte Gaming X, which is more expensive than B450 Tomahawk when premiered and has less features and worse VRM. This is not "More than enough for gamers".
      U actually need at least 200$ for MB right now.

The X variants CPUs already at the wall(no thermal headroom) so enabling PBO does nothing, in the best you gain 1% performance (in the very best case scenario it is 3% in some synthetic benchmarks). Because the non-x variants have thermal headroom PBO give you a significant boost, almost like a X variants, in real life use, there is no much difference.
      On the X variants you use the PBO with eco mode; to reduce the temps and have almost the same(or the same) performance while running cooler.

And while you could make the argument that there is no real upgrade path there, it's the same situation with the raptorlake/alderlake motherboards. Down the road the only upgrade path will be used 13xxx chips, just like the upgrade path for AM4 will be used 5xxx chips. Whereas AM5 is like the original Zen launch, and there are still people running 5000 series CPUs on 300 series motherboards.

And even if I were to upgrade, the 5800X3D would be the sensible choice (it's still readily available at good/discounted prices + it's more performance than I actually need, anyway).

    One significant Caveat to waiting is that some retailers are still offering "free" DDR 5 -6000 RAM with the purchase of Ryzen 7 & 9 processors (still available at the time I write this comment). If you are fortunate enough to live near one of those retailers it would make the AM5 Ryzen 7 the clear value proposition even with keeping the same pricing for Motherboard detailed here. Once the new processors are available, I doubt they will continue this offer (But I do not know), and people could lose the opportunity for this value.

    Hmmm.... I currently have the 5800X3D, B550 motherboard and 32GB DDR4 3600MHz CL16 RAM. To get 3.5% more performance to go to a Ryzen 7 7700 setup, I can sell my old Board, Ram and CPU for $600 and pay $1000 for the new stuff. I guess I need to just hold tight for another gen. I wanted so bad to get the next gen but it is what it is. Thanks so much for these videos, they make it easy to make choices.

      @@Blafard666 Sorry missed your reply. In the past going gen over gen last 3 times was at minimal cost but with a measurable imcrease in performance. I guess the 3D in the 5800X3D in this case changed all that. I found it fun to do in the past though. Perhaps the 7800X3D will be a compelling upgrade while I can still get good money for my current board, ram and CPU. But I certainly do not see a value to moving from what I have ATM. Now a month later it's $900 CAD for me to purchase 7700+B650+5600MHz DDR5 32GB. A friend offering me $650 for my stuff. Still not worth it. But $250 difference is getting there. Only advantage since I mostly game is just getting to the next gen but that can be any time in the future and prices should keep dropping.

Anyone from a 1st to 3rd gen Ryzen can easily upgrade to it without having to spend an arm and a leg for DDR5+AM5 mobos. AMD will definitely raise the MSRP for the next gen 3D chips so if you think this pricing is "bad" it's only going to get worse.

    These CPUs are amazing. I absolutely love the 7600. 6 cores with high clocks and low power consumption, giving an average of 160 FPS for 1% lows. Brilliant. 5800X3D is no longer relevant for new system builders. Total platform cost is very similar, but you get an upgrade path with Zen 4.
    I will probably be building a new rig towards the end of the year. Hopefully motherboard and RAM prices will go down a little, and the platform matures (there are some BIOS problems and stuff). This might be my first AMD platform in about a decade.
    One thing I am curious about is what kind of performance difference memory makes. 6000 CL30 kits are 50% more expensive than CL36 kits, that is a gigantic price difference.
    Intel is in trouble, with their locked and low-clocked Alder Lake rehash. And Meteor Lake for desktop is basically irrelevant.

This will serve as an upgrade to my current 5600X with Asus B450 Gaming Plus and HyperX 2x16GB 3200. I have Gigabyte 3080Ti, which will stay, Hope this config, along with LG 27GP850-B as 1440p gaming, will serve for 1.5-2 years to come. Next upgrade I will look at will be Zen 6 and /or RTX 5xxx, depending on price.

      Why you decided to go this way? Zen 3 is still decent performer and nowhere near to being obsolete. Your build is balanced well. If in need of more cores why not get Ryzen 5000 R7 or R9 cpu that are priced well? It seems like update not upgrade. What’s your use case, or how your system is lacking in your use case? To put my question into perspective. I’ve just build child PC from spare parts I’ve got at hand. 5600X paired with RX6700XT on B350 motherboard with 32gb ram running stable at 3200mhz. I’m amazed how much performance in 1440p high graphics settings this build have while gaming. It runs all modern games on 27inch 165hmz 1440p monitor.

    Cost-per-Frame without considering CPU cooling doesn't really make sense to me.
    Obviously these cheaper Non-X CPUs perform just fine with their included modest coolers, but if for example you're going for a 7900X or 13900k instead you don't even get a included cooler, and are likely going to need an $80 tower cooler at the minimum, and even going AIO isn't out of the question.
    That should considerably skew any Cost-per-Frame analysis.
    Really cool video! It would be nice if you could come up with some methodology for choosing appropriate coolers for each of these systems too.

      Tbh people who are going for the 7900X/13900K and needing a premium Tower or AIO are going to be a lot less likely mindful of Cost-per-frame.
      Plus for things like the 7600 I would still recommend getting a tower cooler as it allows for the PC to run more quietly and cooler, even with a average cooler like the Hyper 212 or a incredible cheap gem like the Arctic 34 Duo.
      Still the AMD box coolers are still very favourable for limited budget builds, Intel seriously needs to change their ancient useless OEM cooler.

      @@ishshah8695 that's true, cost-per-frame should be less important to the X buyers since they already favour performance over power/cost efficiency, but those same numbers are important for the Non-X buyers to evaluate their options and get the best value.
      All I really want to see is a Cost-per-Frame comparison like this for each of the Non-X CPUs:
      7900 65W - Wraith Prism
      7900 65W - Hyper 212
      7900 PBO - Hyper 212
      7900X 170W - Hyper 212
      As far as I can tell at 65W you get full performance out of the Non-X CPUs using a Wraith Prism, the temp is higher but these chips love at 95°C happily, the real downside is the noise under heavy load, which isn't always an issue

    The cheapest B650 is a mATX board. There's a half dozen z690 ATX boards around the same price point, which provides more M.2 slots and better features. If you're going to do a cost-per-frame for CPUs, then at least pick the same class of board. B650 Tuf, X670 Tuf, z790 Tuf and a z690 Tuf would make the chart more realistic.

    Minmaxing anything is an "approach culture" (for lack of better wording in my part) started off as the line of thought necessary for finding the most efficient built for your unit/s to as close as possible to its maximum theoretical potential in games. Although I must say it's particularly rampant on MMOs. In other words, theory crafting every aspect of available mechanics, items, tricks, and equipment to find the most efficient approach for challenges without cheating the game. Even with all this setup attained, actually executing it flawlessly it as per theory suggests, is a challenge of its own.
    And when it's done correctly, the dopamine release is sublime. This is why ppl with this particular way thinking look upon cheaters with seething hatred.
    Of course, the people that in on this will also assess their life decision using the same mindset. Including, but not limited to, building their PC. In this case, these people will try their damnest to connect the dots (in this case, information about the products provided by reviewers) to build the most value-efficient PC built possible in their head. And then, tweak such imaginary PC built according to their own particular needs or challenges, like say; budget limit.
