AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

I don't think OCUK will go from £430 7800x3d launch to +£500 myself. We shall see. If it's more than £500 I'm out! Lol.

You can get a 7800x3D for £390 or a 7950x for around £480.

7800X3D was available for under £350 and a few times under £300. £450 would be the current price of the 9800X3D at today's exchange rate. So unless the exchange rate collapses,anything more than £10 to £20 is an early adopter tax.

Hmm… I wonder… will a new X870E motherboard even boot with one of these without a bios update? Can always do the bios flashback but it makes me nervous!

Asrock’s website is currently ‘TBC’ and says they’ve only verified it on the bios out last week.
 
It's good but they are still competing with their own products. I don't feel like they can go too crazy with the price for +8% (and more than likely at 1080p).

The process node for the Zen5 chiplet is a modified version of the TSMC 5NM process used for Zen4. The I/O chiplet is the same for both. The only other difference is that the 3D V-Cache is now on the bottom and not at the top. So I am doubtful that the Ryzen 7 9800X3D costs anymore than a Ryzen 7 7800X3D to make.

The big issue is that Intel isn't competitive,so AMD can now charge even more for the CPU.
 
285k is on suicide watch, that slide was nuts lol - showing the 9800x3d being over 60% faster than the 285k in cyberpunk
My take is that you could have got almost the same level of performance as a 9800X3D for nearly £200 less 6 months ago, unfortunately that ship has now sailed and those of us who waited are now stuck with higher prices.

If we can overclock 5.5-5.7ghz that should make a big difference between the two CPUs shouldn't it?
