If a dude was building a pure “enthusiast” grade gaming pc… would this be the “top of the line” processor? I know Intel has had some serious issues recently, but I’ve not taken the time to read and get up to speed just yet. I’m just curious who wound up at the top of that dog pile… strictly from a gaming perspective.
AMD’s Ryzen 9000X3D processors, with their fancy-pants cache, are launching November 7th

The 9950X3D will likely be one of the best gaming CPUs around by raw numbers but some early leaks are showing it probably isn’t going to be worth the money over current chips like the 7800X3D - but wait for reviews obviously

Awesome, thanks for the info. I’m not planning on building tomorrow or anything. I never adopt the first iteration of anything, it’s gotta pass a sniff test first.

Just got a 5700X3D as a final upgrade to my AM4 board. Great upgrade. Wanted a 5800X3D but they’re almost impossible to find so the 5700X3D was only 5% lower in most scores and only about $200. Also got two more 8GB sticks of RAM and a 7800XT
That should get me through this decade I think

theyre hard to find because AMD sunset production of them. (despite the fact the 5700x3d and 5800x3d is functionality the same chip)
