AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

Sorry if this has already been asked, but is there any further information on UK release times and OCUK stock information?

Tomorrow should be release. 2PM is the rumour.

It's likely only preorder only here from what the rep told someone earlier in this thread.

When you upgrade to the RTX 5090, it will remove some of that bottleneck. Then upgrade to the RTX 6090 and it will remove even more bottleneck. I guarantee that an RTX 7090 + 9800X3D will absolutely destroy everything else.

CPU stuff out at the moment is going to be considerably obsolete by the time the 5090 replacement comes along let alone after that.

Wish we could get some clarity on the situation, I assume it may be the same for other retailers too

Everyone will be under NDA until tomorrow.

Interested to see the ram scaling, though 6400 1:1 seems to be the ideal situation if possible

 

[uscool]

I sense some don't like AMD being on top

The main competitor confirmed to me and another person day 1 stock for tomorrow. That's all I can say of course

I wouldn't be so sure, as per benchmarks you can still play perfectly fine on 5800x3D and that is already 2 generations behind. Some CPUs age very slowly in gaming at least. Productivity is a very different beast.

With regards to PC parts I think it's always best to make decisions based on actual data today, rather than some theoretical future year's off, when so much can change and is unknown.

Despite the small gains we see these days, this performed better than I thought it would.
In some instances, it was surprising. Looks to be half-decent in productivity apps, too.

Still amazes me when people call this disappointing as it's "only" 10-20% faster than the 7800x3d. :/
Saw one review (from a fairly big site, think it was PCmag) that gave it 2 stars out of 5 as it wasn't a big leap over the 7800x3d, but people tend to forget the majority of people don't have a CPU from last generation, many of us are rocking hardware from years ago and this will be a massive leap, even for 4k gaming (I mean the minimum frames)

I hope most people are swayed away from it to be honest, more chance of me getting one tomorrow then.

I wouldn't call it disappointing but what AMD needs really is these gains on the 99x03D parts at a keener price and without any cross CCD considerations IMO.

I just read that review. To be honest when you take the price into consideration I'm not sure it's entirely wrong. For 4k gaming I think you'd be better getting the 9700x and saving £140?

They can do what they like with no competition looks like for some time they'll be in control they can play around with the pricing depending on stock/ sales

Can still be cpu limited in a games at 4k, that's where the 8900x3d will shine. I would just have to have the best when pairing with a 4080/4090. The 5090 will need all the cpu grunt you can throw at it. It will sell like hot cakes.

 

[Michael Durrant]

the temperature of the 9800x3d is much cooler than the 7800x3d with the 3d cache placement. so if you like air coolers instead aio, you wont have to put up with the fan making loud noises

Once the X3D went up a lot I put it in some builds and I don't think anyone got one, the lack of "X3D" seems to be a very hard sell for midrange/high-end gaming PCs.

I suspect the 9800X3D will still sell like hotcakes at £550-£600+ if there's a shortage.

 

[Hostile_18]

Yeah its a little hard to know how much the 5090 will make use of more CPU power at 4k over it's rivals.

We've had a lot of stagnation generally the last few years - I'm still making use of a 2013 era Xeon setup usefully in one of my setups and it was my main system up until the 14700K release!

We are on the cusp however of several new technologies and other innovations which will be a big change from what went before.
