AMD 9800X3D ETA OFFICIAL THREAD

I initially had FOMO and hovered on the buy button about 14:05 but with my 14700k I am going to stick with it for the time being (z690 msi pro-a ddr4 & 4090), I had all of the mobo, ram ready to go as well but it would have set me back nearly a grand.

Primary purpose for the PC is flight simulator and with MSFS2024 very near launch decided to wait to see how much more they have utilised multiple threads with the processor, it’s still a fairly punchy machine, 5.5p 4.5e core.

found one for MSFS2020 could be different for MSFS2024 but it is 1080p so probably be less in it at higher res ?

Forgive my ignorance, but what is it about them that's created so much demand, or is it just that the supply is so low that it's a scalpers paradise?

Edit: Ah, I think Gibbo has answered that above.

Yeah i think it's the beginning of the next chapter of decent performance increase.

I would say because the vanilla Ryzen 9000 series and Intel Core Ultras were both a bit of a disappointment, everyone in the market for a new CPU went for this
 
PC Gaming is bigger than it ever has been before, a far cry from the past where it was supposedly on it's last legs.

The 9800x3d is the first gaming cpu that impresses since the 7000x3d line up. Sure the increases might not be what we are used to but it's still decent and lots of us are are stuck on pre 7000x chips anyway. 5800x none x3d for me.

Throw in the terrible intel launch recently and I'm not surprised it's a runaway success.

Especially if your into cpu bound games or in my case emulation it's a no brainer.

Cheers, I did see this review, which had MSFS at varying resolutions compared with the processors, this went into depth of min average and max FPS, the 9800x3d seems to do decent in 4k.
14700k vs 9800x3d @ 4ksees a 30% increase https://ibb.co/rykwTpb
But as I say for over a grand I think I am going to eek some more out of a system with a processor little under a year old, also as mentioned MSFS2024 should have better multicore support.
