AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
- Thread starter Hostile_18
- Start date
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.
back in stock but still nearly £100 more than it was when launched
Google it

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.

Generally speaking it just won’t be a few quid more. More like a couple of hundred on top. If read correctly the last gen was 450 for the 7800x3d and about 700 ish for the 7950x3d roughly.
Now that is no indication that the 9950x3d will be 700 ish but I expect it to follow the trend. Seeming as the 9800x3d is current gaming cpu of choice. I can see the 9950x3d appealing to the power users who need more multi core performance than what the 9800x3d can offer with close to or on par with the 9800x3d gaming performance.
But we will have to wait till pricing and release day reviews. If by somehow it manages to beat the 9800x3d in gaming it will become even more desirable and possibly more expensive to boot.

This is why I so desperately try not to get carried away by all the hype (and usually fail!).
The truth is that given how often the average enthusiast replaces their CPU, it probably doesn't make much difference which CPU they go for, because they will replace it long before their PC becomes CPU bound.
Yes, I think at the moment it's maybe very unwise to buy a 9800X3D until the reviews are here. It's a lot of money to spend given that there is only a small time to wait until other variations are available.

AMD said the 9950x3d launch price is $600, so £585 (incl vat), which is actually only "a few quid more" than the 9800x3d which is retailing for £544, but the performance looks suss. They did not do any direct comparisons to the 9800x3d, but said it "performs within 1%" - although we know how AMD tell half truths (probably 1% in only a couple of games, maybe tetris and caves of Qud?), and supposedly 8% better than the 7950x3d. Someone also extrapolated data from the current and past AMD slides which suggested in Cyberpunk and COD the 9950x3d is around 23% and 20% respectively worse than the 9800x3d. The low price suggest AMD know it might not be a great seller.
Depends if people want to wait until March and take the risk that they don't perform well as expected in gaming and the issue/hassle with core parking etc. However for productivity users it's likely to be a beast. Depends on people's use case.

AMD says Intel's 'horrible product' is causing Ryzen 7 9800X3D shortages
Team Blue in the rearview.
Appears AMD were caught out by how poorly the competition performed, hence the short supply. Interesting to know that the 8 core X3D parts outsell the higher core count models by 10 to 1.

It's true.
Had the intel been on a par with the 14700K, I would have bought one, and I am sure there are many other people who would have done the same. As long as their regular supplier is acceptable, they keep on going, but the intel has really missed the mark this time.

would make sense if people are jumping ship and this is the cpu they pick.AMD says Intel's 'horrible product' is causing Ryzen 7 9800X3D shortages

Brand effect has happen for AMD also.AMD says Intel's 'horrible product' is causing Ryzen 7 9800X3D shortages

Intel been dead for a decade, servers kept them floating but that is going away fast
Feels good with a 7800x3d and wait a few months before upgrading, likely after summer

What I found really interesting about that is this...
"Although the company has promised a 'fix' for the issue, we recently tested the full and complete patch on multiple systems. We found the patch does nothing to help (at least on two motherboards) and that the newer Windows revision required for the fix has benefited competing processors more, thus making Intel's Arrow Lake competitive positioning even worse than at launch. We'll publish that testing soon."
I mean, surely this is the final nail (arrow) in intels coffin?
Also, as you say, the 10:1 is surprising.

its not really that surprising that they sell a cheaper part more than a more expensive part realistically. you only have to look at say the steam charts to see this is true across all segments not just CPUs, the top selling product is NOT the highest tier halo products but the middle to low tier products. it kind of makes sense, we arnt the average users here..

never mind the whole your cpu is actively trying to kill its self issue they've just had

Ram - G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo 64gb
Mobo - ASUS B650E-F
I purchased and fitted the 9800x3d over Christmas but couldn't get it to boot. Not even to the BIOS. The BIOS had been updated to 3057 in advance.
I still had my old CPU which I put back in & it worked straight away. So I tried again & still with the same issue.
The DRAM light went amber each time & nothing changed after a good 5-10 mins.
I have since RMA'd the CPU but it was all a massive faff having to repaste, refit the CPU cooler & GPU etc.
It may be a blessing in disguise as I'm now looking at the 9900x3d or the 9950x3d but my concern is that I'll run into the same problem.
Has anyone else had issues with this. Especially looking for feedback on the BIOS version 3057 & the RAM type
Any advice appreciated please

Did they confirm that the 9800X3D was faulty?
I've asked for feedback & waiting on a reply.
I was wondering is that price higher that before.
Scalpers are dropping their prices now.
