14900k to 9800x3d

HT off generally gives higher single thread performance, less heat, potentially higher sustained boost clocks and/or easier to achieve higher overclocks.
When I did a bit of testing of it I found it a mixed bag - probably 2/3rd of games I tried saw a minor benefit but half of those despite the small increase in displayed FPS but felt worse to play and several games despite higher max FPS had worse min FPS which you noticed more than the increase in max FPS (which I suspect is due to the load being slightly moved to the E cores).

The 9800x3d? They have been 2 post so far in the for sale forums with people selling theirs.
Of course as well as OCUK getting their allowance of 9800x3d there are other retailers. A lot of them have decided to cash in and what I thought were previously good retailers were now charging an extra £50-£70 on top.
This not about the dollar to pound conversion or brexit stuff this is just large known companies scalping us. Might as well went on fleabay and paid a scalper. One ebayer got scalped on the price from a known retailer as he left the retailer packaging on and then he obviously was trying to scalp someone else. Like double jeopardy but more like double scalped.
They were charging like £519.99 the retailer. The fleabay price was like £599.
And there seems to what I suspect retailers using fleabay to sell at 519.99 but this is only the preorder price they don’t actually have it in hand and they are waiting for their allowance just like OCUK is.

everyone seems to say that about vr but we all really know what you are up to
on a serious note I assume you get no motion sickness or weirdness when you stop playing ?

Funny enough if I try to do normal vr games, I do! But I do 4hr driving stints and not a hint of motion sickness.
Personally I'd not bother, it's a sidegrade as you're losing lots of performance in applications, gaining a little in most games. Over time the 14900k will likely fair better vs the 8 core 9800X3D, as more games use more threads over time (especially if PS6 is a 16 core) - but you'll probably have upgraded by then.
must be the fixed driving position rather than open world
