Didnt i already admit that the 3d is more efficient in gaming? Its a completely different product though, and when it gets to anything MT its less efficient even than the joke of a cpu that is the 12900ks.
As a general rule intel makes very efficient gaming cpus and amd makes very efficient MT cpus. The 3d is an exception on both fronts, its efficient at gaming but pretty mediocre in MT
The 3d is a great cpu for a pc - console replacement, the pricing though is just absolutely bonkers.
And that's the reason i dislike amd nowadays. They could have released a 5900x 3d at 500 euros and absolutely demolish everything intel has, but nope, lets milk a bit
