For 2K, just upgrade to 5800X3d is more than enough, The higher reso you go the less that CPU matters as long its an 8 core.

IF just for gaming 7800x3d. Ryzen still have cross CCD latency even with x3d. In games 7900 series are actually slower. Then get nonAsus X670 mobo

If your keeping it for longer, might not be a bad idea to upgrade just the CPU to 5700x3d or 5800x3d considering you dont gain much from the rest when jumping to AM5.

Nice buy, where did you get that deal?

Also very good looking setup but Im glad I dont have a Corsair case. It grinds my gears to see their nameprint is opposite direction of everything else in my system, the mobo wording & CPU cooler wording.

Look at the Steam surveys, even globally the large majority of PC in use are Intel. Dont expect good pricing from AMD esp new, even 7000series got massive price cuts within 6months after launch.

Like Intel, AMD have their own shit to sort. And it give little confidence to buyers if there are other late bugs that they did not catch

Once again (allegedly) Malaysia infamous again for screwing things up on a global scale, its the pits if we cannot even get a simple print on the CPUs correct. As some said, the rot is so bad its time for a Change.

Meanwhile I agree with an internet posting "And if you allow me, why did they also delay the review samples due to this? That does not completely makes sense to me. They could have just sent out a note saying "oopsie, we misprinted" and get the reviews done. So... I can't help but think 4D Chess."

Well its what Msian netizens were saying before, you know what, so now it failing again its time for us to rise up again wat

MLID again. Cant really trust him whether its Intel or AMD. Needs more veritable sources

Much like Intel, AMD ryzen max turbo speed is not achieved when at baseline PBP...

AM5 are still hotchips, defaulting to run towards 95oC thermal limit. Even if wattage is ok, the temps are not. I hope Zen5 will not have this habit seen on Zen4.

Both Intel & AMD must have pakat to outdo each other in trying to disappoint the market and customers. Funnily now is the best time for AMD to make a run on Intel yet they failed once again.

If 9000X3D gonna be 3% faster but with 24% more costlier price than 7000X3D you might as well keep the current CPU!

Just about every review has the same verdict: its a flop. Plus the memory compatibility issues is prolly why its launch got delayed.

Pulling down to 65W was a bad move as it happen in some benches gotten worse result than predecessor 7700X! This is about as bad as 4060Ti vs 3060Ti level of regression.

By right it shoulda stick to 105W for X version and 65W for nonX, now if both X and nonX is 65W there is crazy overlap of their skus and nobody sane would buy the nonX (unless AMD is trying to push buyers to pay just that bit more for X, taking from Jensen 'the more you buy, the more you save' LOL).

If your buying AM5, just get 7000series as the 9000 price/performance premium just isnt worth it (and AMD is known to massive price drop soon after launch too, wait 6 months for X3D release b4 deciding).

If pricing is on par 7800X3D but loses in games & productivity & power efficiency, better faster get that CPU b4 expected price hike. Then wait for 10000series (or will be 11000?) to come out b4 upgrading. At MSRP, 9000series is a hard pass.

9600X Efficiency productivity is also poor, made worse when compared its cost to others


It is at least for AM5 CPUS

From the overall reviewers, bench results are all over the place depending on who review. But many found it no way they could get the official AMD launch results.

Agesa might be it, might also be related to the memory incompatibility issue as some reviewers had to use lower speed RAMs just to get it working.

All in all despite Intel giving them the platter, it has been an epyc disaster for AMD.

X86 is like a 50 yo lock, each day there are new way to unlock it.

Daniel Owens review suddenly put 9000series "value" in a much poorer position that many youtube reviews would like you to think



TLDR 9000series totally not worth it when comparing either X or nonX SKU 7000series.

But thats where you got it wrong. In terms of efficiency productivity then 7700 has nearly the same as 9700X in power use, in gaming, 7800X3D is better for about same price and 7700X has nearly the same performance per watt but having cheaper street prices (see my DO mindblowing video). So there isnt much justification for 9700X nor 9600X and it would seem their X3D as well. This gen is a hard pass unless AMD can reduce MSRP prices by USD $100 from launch.

Its no so much that AMD is redefining X3D, it has always been top dog segment and its been the Extreme to Intel past equivalent. However AMD has redefined their X (which previous compared to Intel Ksku) downgrading it to vs Intel nonK level except having ability to OC. That again I said makes nonX moot now unless AMD will push it down another segment, but guess what these nonX & nonK parts are at the cheaper price range so AMD is actually overpricing their CPUs vs the market segment of today (again see the DO video).

AMD took advantage of Intel bad news to overcharge their fanbase customers. So early buyers are totally waterfishes for harvest.
