I know he was under time constraints but it would interesting to know if it's a Windows 11 thing seeing as he recently did this video...
That shows Windows 11 performance has fallen behind Windows 10 since release.

Another review, this one as is typical from Windell is less hyperbole and more looking beyond the raw numbers at what the CPU is actually doing.
It is better at gaming in Linux than it is in Windows, there is some odd stuff going on in Windows in that how you configure windows, such as running games in Administrator Mode, affects performance, even third party thread scheduling apps have an effect on performance.

Who knows, whatever is causing it seem to be very hit and miss as some games show no difference while others can show anything up to a 10% difference.Is the Admin bug thing only on Windows 11 then? I'm still on Windows 10
Similar to the sort of hit and miss nature of the Admin thing.

I don’t see this price currently in the uk at least not for new.

It was available the day before yesterday.
I don't think Microsoft favour one vendor over another, i think Intel are willing to pay more than AMD for sorting their own crap out to run on their OS, but that's all it is, Intel get a custom scheduler just for their CPU, AMD get an iffy Game Bar hack, Intel paid, AMD didn't, its like why should we pay you to fix your own junk? So AMD gets the "you are the product" treatment like you do if you don't subscribe to Amazon Prime.
Its just money.

I know the place, they upp'd it to £300 after a few hours. No game code though iirc.

It was £45 cheaper than the next cheapest place and the Ryzen 9 9800X3D probably will be over £400.
Yeah I did see that one, at this point I’m probably going to wait for arrow lake

Can't blame ya, I scored a very nice 7800X3D for about 230 a few weeks back so that was a no brainer. Glad I didn't wait for the new chips!!

Slide in a 9000 series X3D in a year or two, once they've cheap and chips, and GG
For me the problem with Arrow Lake is the same as all these hybrid CPU's, i don't want to have to deal with these E-Cores in games in the same way i don't want to have to deal with hoping the game is using the correct CCD, i don't want to have to deal with Windows being finicky with that.
So the only thing i consider is a single CCD all big core CPU, i'm fine with that because while a higher core count CPU is useful to me its not necessary.
When i upgrade i will probably end up with a 7800X3D.

Nah, wait and see if we get Zen6 X3D's in H1 '27 I think
I maybe tempted if something did pop up around that price as I have all the other bits ready to go, just need a board, ram and cpu.
At this point I can’t see how a zen 5 X3D chip is going to be much better than zen 4 given what we’ve seen so far.
