Tempted to pick up another till the 9950x3d comes out

It's the cpu that will last. Anything non x3d is disposable

By the time GPUs move on enough most people would see a meaningful difference outside of 1080p all of these CPUs are going to be obsolete and ideally replaced with something newer.

Just noticed it's back in stock on ocuk. Quite tempted to take the plunge.

back in stock but still nearly £100 more than it was when launched

I was considering going for the 9950x3d until checking this thread. initially wanted to go for the max of everything across the board including a 5090 but as above, it looks like the 9800x3d will be the purest and most hassle free chip to go for gaming wise with it just having one CCD. on top of that, not sure if i can hold out till march for the 9950x3d + it being hella pricey compared to the 9800x3d. usually upgrade every 4 years and im getting the itch bad already!

As far as I know it due towards the end of the month/beginning of February.

No AMD said sometime in March. I like Aikon359 was also going to go for the 9950x3d, but seems to be not worth it even if it is only going to be a few quid more.
