RIP Goat AMD processor


Note: By EOL, it meant there will still be stock but no more restock. And will continue to dwindle.

    Unsupported doesn’t mean dead. Imagine if all CPU reaching EOL burn some jumpers inside. I should get a patent for this.

    I mean I’m probably gonna get myself one come christmas. Maybe a used one. I’m poor.

    What does it actually means? End of production? I’m pretty sure it was already confirmed that they stopped production and I assume they will still support it with eventual security fixes for a few years.

    How’s the 5700x3D in comparison for someone wanting to upgrade from a 5600x on a budget?

  5. As long as they have the 5700X3D AM4-users are able to continue to upgrade.

    I have one. Now if so I have another AM4 around maybe I’ll get a 5700x3D for that 3700x..

  7. I had it for 2 years, great CPU at a very good price

    Such a good chip, I hope it will see me through to AM6.

    Of all the souls I had ever known… It’s was the most…

    Human.

  10. Been using this chip for 2 years now, it has been smooth sailing without issues.

    Glad I yoinked one when it came out, have thrown all sorts at mine, stress tests, workloads, gaming and even tried to choke it by doing 2 stress tests and a game at once.

    oh damn does this mean resale prices go up?

    ON TO AM5 I GO

    I got it on release. It truly is goated.

    Me with a 3800X.

    Went from a 3700x to a 5800x3D during the first price cut a couple of months after it launched.

    Absolutely insane gains. No regrets even as its price got progressively lower. It’s crazy how my 5 year old x570 am4 system is still pretty competitive with today’s stuff – the system I had prior, which was LGA1155-based, really felt dated at around this point.

    This’ll probably even take another GPU gen upgrade easily.

    They need to stop producing it because nobody wants the new stuff. In almost all scenario, if you are on AM4 and don’t have this beast the only reasonable move is buying one, instead of a complete platform upgrade to AM5.

    Of course, 7800X3D is the absolute best gaming CPU right now, but its performance isn’t justifying the total costs.

    It’s sad to see AMD becoming the new Intel with this behavior – making very little improvements for insane prices.

    I bought mine a year ago for $325. I can’t explain how geeked I am having this cpu, coming from a i5-6500.

    This chip is the 1080ti of processors.

    Oh I intend for mine to live a full and productive life for a long long time.

    dude I wanted to get one in like a couple months to put in place of my 5700x just so I can go longer without switching the entire platform and a couple weeks ago they stopped being sold in my country 😭😭

  20. Been using this one for a while now, it’s a solid cpu. Though I never got the performance that some reviewers got, but I suppose there’s other variables that might interfere or just good old silicone lottery.

    Bought one 2 weeks ago for 130 (normal x version) and its great. Powers my sisters rig

    What does “End of Life” mean for a CPU?
