As reported by some Tech Press at The Weeknd, prices have dropped on AMD processors!. Here are some of my picks from Newegg, the 5900X looks good at under $300. We also have the new 8000G series in AM5 flavor, the 8600G is tempting. Also new GT variants from 5000 series, which according to AMDs specs, 5600GT clocks in at 4.6 GHz and the 5600G 4.4 GHz, they both have the same graphics. Strange that they didn't upgrade the PCIe spec from 3 to 4, could have paired it with more motherboards. Amazon has slightly better prices, in some cases up to $10 cheaper, such as the 5800X3D $284 compared to $294.

The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X is a great price right now on Newegg, $299.99 and further $6 off w/ promo code ULDRA27.

No, as the graphics in the AMD 8000 series use the RDNA3 Architecture (780M, 760M & 740M APU's).

NootedRed.kext supports AMD Radeon & AMD Vega X APU's. So Ryzen 1000 - 5000 series CPU/APU combos, plus a small number of Ryzen 7000 laptop CPU/APUs (7730, 7530 & 7430 CPU's + PRO equivalent).

None of the Ryzen 6000 or 8000 CPU/ACPU combos are supported as they all use a different architecture for the APU.
 
Yep it's definitely 5900X, I had to check a couple of times because I thought, 'Is that right?'. On Amazon the price is $30 cheaper than Newegg at $264.99!.

The 5700X has moved up to #3 in Amazons best seller list and is now the top selling AM4 processor!.
