Jessus.... the way Intel are going its going to take them several generations to catch up in gaming, AMD cementing themselves as the choice for gamers, impressive performance from this chip.

Agreed. I'm not sold - yet - on upgrading my 7800X3D to a 9800X3D. I'll sit back and wait for the whole X3D line to be released to see which one is "best" for my needs ( gaming plus some video/photo editing ). But as I only game at 4K, I think it's going to take a 5080/5090 to unlock the full potential ( maybe ? ) of these latest Ryzen CPUs.
The launch time/date is confirmed I believe. I'm guesstimating the price based on the official 480 USD price.
If you plan to stick with UW 1440p, probably not. But I would comment that when I had a 5800X3D, I found it bottlenecked my fps at that resolution on a 4090FE. When I upgraded to a 7800X3D some games saw a big increase in fps eg. CP2077 went up approx. 20 fps.
Same, really not sure it’s worth the extra £’s just for gaming.
Maybe when I get a 5090.
It's only the extra L3 that's helping AMD and only in games. Intel are not that far off against none 3D chips (9950X vs 285K), I though the gap was much bigger. If Intel decide it's worth the investment to do a gamer 3D chip, it will look very different. I'm looking forward to the 9950X3D, this should answer the question, does the extra L3 on both CCD's helps in none gaming workloads, I think the answer will be no for most things.
Many (including myself) are waiting on 9950X3D - as rumoured to have 3D cache on both CCX. If so it will likely be a few more % ahead of the 9800X3D, especially in those games that use more than 8 cores.
Agreed. It’s the bulldozer days in reverse.
I doubt dual 3d cache , with gigabyte going on about turbo mode which disables one ccd for the higher core models for more gaming performance
performance increases of up to 18% for incoming Ryzen™ 9000 series 16-core X3D processors, why would they mention 9950x3d 16 cores if it was dual ccd x3d
GIGABYTE X3D Turbo Mode is a cutting-edge feature that unifies cores distribution, bandwidth tuning, and hardware power balancing, resulting in pushing the boundaries of gaming performance. Empirical testing demonstrates that this feature delivers tangible benefits to gamers, with performance increases of up to 18% for incoming Ryzen™ 9000 series 16-core X3D processors,
This feature is basically disabling the none x3d ccd

Even with duel 3d cache there would still be a latency delay between cdus. If it's for purely gaming, this is the one to get IMO.

Will wait for the 9950X3D and hopefully that will a beast and was hoping that would drop this week too as have to change my motherboard this weekend due to a purchasing a Rainforest pricing error on the ROG X870E Crosshair Hero.
So was hoping to do everything in one hit but guess will upgrade motherboard first and then CPU later.

Chip looks amazing for gaming. those are some amazing gains over 7800x3D.
Just need one that combines the gaming performance and workflow.

AMD may as well called it, Arrow to knee lake.

Looks great, but I have to remember there's no point in me looking at the 9800X3D over the 7800X3D at 3840x1600.

What signs?
This is the thing for me - while it is hilariously better at 1080p than quite a lot of CPUs those differences barely show at the resolutions and settings people will mostly be playing at meanwhile it looks like being considerably more expensive than other CPUs which are within margin of error at higher resolutions/settings and still significantly slower than those cheaper CPUs at tasks outside of pure gaming.
People seem to lose all perspective of this based on what the reviews are telling them.

It still provides better minimums giving you smoother and more consistent frame rates.
20fps big increase? Unless it's starting at like 40-50fps don't think you'll notice the difference if it's already above 100fps
CP2077 with RT/PT features turned on is quite taxing on the CPU & GPU. So yeah, it wasn't getting above 100 fps using a 5800X3D, not at that rez.
