All signs so far is that OCUK won't have them for launch, it will be a pre order, unless something changes.

I have seen nothing that confirms this. SO far it appears to be a noprmal AMD launch, Reviews day before release and product will appear for sale the next day with stock. No signs of anything different that i can see

Nothing from reps here. And someone asked yesterday and OCUK were saying it would *likely* be pre orders only.

The competition have confirmed day 1 stock this morning. Unfortunate for OCUK, but likely out of their hands. If something changes I'm sure someone will pop in this thread or the new arrivals one.

It still provides better minimums giving you smoother and more consistent frame rates.

Potentially it can do, but a mixed story in reality.

AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Review - The Best Gaming Processor

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D establishes AMD as the leader in gaming performance. This Zen 5-based X3D chip is not only fast, it also comes with full support for overclocking. Besides gaming, application performance is considerably improved over the 7800X3D, but that comes at a price.
www.techpowerup.com www.techpowerup.com

In some games the 14th gen CPUs have better minimums at 4K kind of resolutions despite the 9800X3D having better minimums at 1080p - not entirely sure the reasons why. The 9800X3D also seems to see a power consumption increase at higher resolution for some reason which is counter-intuitive.

I must admit, even as a 7800X3d owner, I'm tempted. One of these, plus a 5080 or 5090, would set me up for a long time. (Well, if I can keep the upgrade devil on my shoulder quiet anyway!)

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.

Yeah, I have no idea why anyone with a last gen CPU would even look at this. only reason I want one is because mine is 5 years old and stutters quite badly at times. I would just get a 5700x3d but All my other parts are 5+ years old already, and It just makes sense for me to upgrade everything all at once except the GPU.

AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Review

Churning out fps like no other chip, buy the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D if every last frame matters to you.

Interesting whole system power consumption when gaming (FHD, QHD, UHD) - something I've been saying for awhile those impressive CPU socket wattage differences reviewers show for 1080p are largely irrelevant to the power that is actually being drawn at the wall at the settings and resolutions people will actually be gaming at.

Looks like the 9800X3D isn't far behind the 14700 for power consumption while gaming in certain games as well, obviously with an efficiency advantage, though again less so at the kind of resolutions and settings people will actually be using.

Nice to see some common sense, people are falling bad for the clickbait titles left right and centre here.

Humm. Reconsidering already, due to the lack of uplift for higher resolutions. I like big screens (and I cannot lie), so maybe it's not worth it after all. Which is good news for my wallet anyway!
 
I'm really torn between a 9700x and a 9800x3D for Native 4k (to be paired with a 5090) coming from a 7600x. Got a 420 AIO, so should be able to boost pretty high with either.

If I was getting 5090 I would just pay the extra to pair it with 9800x3d even at 4K or just wait till 5090 is out and see what the benchmarks show with different CPU's

It is an awesome chip the 9800x3d but i like what Linus has done in his review, where he has shown it at 1440p with high graphical settings and there is next to no difference as usual from a 5800x3d to the 9800x3d in gaming.. i think a lot of people think they are going to see a jump at 1440p and 4k and be disappointed.

I've not seen Linus' vid on it, but I've seen similar testing and the average framerates don't change much... But the 1% and 0.1% lows are vastly improved; they matter more than some folk seem to think.

Does Linus' vid not support that?
 
Excuse my ignorance, but why test at 1080p with this CPU?
At this price point and with the other highend (ish) hardware that most will have alongside it, what's the point?

He only tests a limited number of games at 1440p/4K for minimums - in a wider range of games then some of the older CPUs will see a significant drop off of minimum FPS in comparison including some of the 5000 series gaming CPUs. But newer CPUs generally it is far less significant.
