I think the 9950X3D will be a nice upgrade from the 5900x for me, although still not a bad cpu

That's what I'm looking at upgrading to.
I would love to wait for the 9950x3d but my poor i7-4790K is ready to go to silicon heaven at any moment. Got my eye on the 9800x3d but if that disappoints I'll get the 7950x3d. Actually I might buy the 7950x3d now and return it if the 9800x3d turns out to be decent as I can see the 7950x3d price increase if the 9800x3d disappoints.
Why not just build the rest of the PC you want now and drop a 7600 in it for now ? You're not likely to lose much reselling it, and you can wait for the CPU you really want to not be a silly price.

The Fallout 4 benchmark will show if it's just marketing hype or real gains. Looking forward to see that
7800x3d was £329 a few weeks ago. +50% for 9800x3d = £495
So plus 8% performance for an extra £165 at 1080p only

I did this when I moved to AM5, waiting for the 9800X3D to drop in pricethat makes a lot of sense, I might just do that....unless that FOMO me hits hard
That’s like comparing the price of the 9800 in two years time

Welp.... according to this, the CPU that tech jurnoes hated on, the 9700X is 7% faster in games than Intel's latest and greatest.

Maybe not but it is good compared to the 285K.
They couldn't predict the future though could they. They assessed it on its performance compared to the available competition. Unless you're suggesting they're going easy on the 285k?

Its a worse CPU than Ryzen 9000, that CPU got quite a severe kicking from reviewers for not being as good as they deemed it should be.
The way the same people treat the 200 series is 'quiet disappointment', very different, its hypocrisy for sure.

You're reading different reviews to me. Reviewers are very vocally slating it.

HUB and GN.

GN's thumbnail is "TRY AGAIN" and a disappointed looking Steve with a subtitle of "Get It Together, Intel" . HUB's "ARROW IN THE KNEE LAKE" and whatever expression Steve is making with the subtitle of "It's A Mess.... Probably A Flop"
