Definitely a stop gap but a nice one for upgraders. I think it will sell in the volumes AMD expects i.e. a percentage of their existing AM4 users on previous gen Ryzen wanting to prolong the live of their system.

If it does turn out to be the fastest gaming CPU i think there'll be a market for it.
Anyone with older/worse cpu's could get a nice cheap boost to their existing rig.
I'm curious to see how much difference the cache will make.
Why didn't they test games instead synthetic benchmarks? When it comes to leaks they always first test unimportant workloads that show nothing, the whole point of this model is gaming performance, people will buy it only for gaming, and showing some geekbenchs and similar tests is funny and useless.

Yeah, it's an absolute waste of time, especially when AMD themselves said it won't offer gains in certain tasks.
Anyone looking at this CPU is interested in the gaming performance first and foremost.

What's that, 480p so it fits in the cache.

That is incredible to be honest.
If this is what AMD have up their sleeve for Zen 4 as well as higher boost clocks.....
I'll definitely be changing the 5950 if the increased performance is across most games. Even if you game at higher resolutions the 1% lows should be higher with a better cpu so smoother gaming experience.
If that is indicitive of how it pewerforms accross multiple titles its a winner, hell even if it looses out to the 12900KS bya couple frames at neraly half the price it will be a winner. Wonder what the usual suspects will come up with then to complain about......

This is very impressive if it's replicated widely. Productivity results are underwhelming as expected.

720p ha ha ha ha pointless test.
Or an RTX 4080/AMD 7800XT at 1440P ultra
.It's not pointless when that's the only way to show the true difference with current GPUs. New GPUs coming out this year are rumoured to be twice as fast or even more and then this will matter at much higher resolutions too.
Also, 1% lows will show a bigger difference.

The thing is cpu's are tested at low resolutions to show the difference, but if cpu x is stronger than cpu y that will be reflected at higher resolutions, even if the difference is smaller.
Also don't underestimate average fps with the lows too. That can make a massive difference to smoothness.
All of that aside though, can no one see the value in a cheap cpu being as good if not better than one which is nearly £800 for gaming?
There will be appeal to people already on AMD who want a cheap upgrade.
Of course overall the 12900k is better, you could argue buying a cheap 5800X would be a better buy than the 5800X3D. But for someone that only cares about gaming? Why spend more.

Yes, this according to the rumours is going to happen eventually. It will be glorious.

Except all the rumours point to Zen 4 not having 3D cache, and it being added to separate chips later.. which kind of sucks as it's milking instead of releasing a killer chip from the get go.
Because all rumors say that Zen 4 will destroy RPL even without 3d cache so it is logical that AMD won't release special version if not needed.

What was the point in this thread when Dave already made this one https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/t...this-spring-zen4-raphael-in-2h-2022.18945000/ which is all about the 5800X3D.
Any chance this can be merged, just wasting bytes tbh.
