At this reduced price, you’re paying $34 per core, which is a pretty incredible value when you consider just how strong each of those cores are. Ryzen 5000’s new core architecture and vastly increased L3 cache makes them keen performers, with a 20% increase in single-threaded performance over the previous-gen Ryzen 3000 chips and significantly more over Ryzen 1000 and 2000 CPUs - making this a perfect upgrade if you’re still using one of these older processors.
Best of all, this high-end CPU is supported on a wide range of motherboards using the venerable AM4 socket, so you may not even have to upgrade your motherboard - just see if a BIOS update with Ryzen 5000 support is available. Similarly, the 5800X uses the same DDR4 RAM as earlier Ryzen chips, so this could be an easy drop-in upgrade that grants you significantly better frame-rates in games that are CPU limited.
