Somehow, AM4 returned....

That maybe true for the latest games, but most older games don't have native support for DLSS 3.5 or FSR 4. Even then, I choose to run as close to native 4k if I can get a stable frame rate above 80fps.

Th nvidia driver can upgrade all games to DLSS4.
There is also Optiscaler, that allows to inject DLSS4 and FSR4 into any game that supports any temporal upscaler from nvidia, AMD and Intel.
 

AMD to bring back Ryzen 7 5800X3D as AM4 10th Anniversary Edition


Leaker HXL has shared what appears to be a promo image for an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D "10 YRS AMD AM4 Anniversary Edition." The slide points to a Q2 2026 launch and lists 8 cores, 16 threads, up to 4.5 GHz boost, 100 MB cache, and a 105W TDP. Those numbers line up with AMD's official Ryzen 7 5800X3D specifications from the original product listing.

This does not look like a new AM4 refresh with higher clocks or a changed cache layout. It looks more like a straight reissue of the original 5800X3D, a chip AMD launched globally on April 20, 2022, with a $449 SEP.



It's good news, at a time when DDR5 costs an arm and a leg, and a kidney. But that $449 price is highway robbery for what is a 4 year old CPU.
 
I bought it for ~413$ (with VAT) in 2023.

I bought mine in September 2022 for the full 449€. At the time I had reservations about this being a good purchase or not.
Today, almost 4 years after, I think it's one of the best hardware purchases I have ever made. The way the market is, it will probably last me another 2 or 3 years.
 
I recently built a new AM4 rig with a 5700X and while I'm interested in the 5800X3D, it feels like a pain to have to take the PC apart so soon. Plus I really like the temps of my 5700X after undervolting it. I get a max of 56.5°C while running CP2077 while using a a 10 year-old NH-U12S air cooler (though I did change the fan). The 5800X3D is sure to run a lot hotter. With 7nm being so mature now, a -30 in the curve optimizer might be possible on the new 5800X3D though. I'll wait to see the reviews and such.

I changed 5600x to 5800x3d, and yeah - it requires more juice and better cooling.

I run my 5800X3D with a -30 CO. In games, power usage should be similar to your 5700X. But temperatures will be higher, because of the L3 cache being stacked on top on the CPU. Maybe 5-10Cº higher. But still very safe temperatures.
The 5800X3D by default, has higher ppt tdc edc. This means under full load, it is allowed to use more power. But you can set the same values for it as with the 5700X.
