There is also that.... tho TSMC wafer supply is constantly increasing, its why AMD are now properly gunning for Laptop share.
Intel are also now buying wafers from TSMC, this is bound to push up the prices for everyone.

7800X3D can be had for £320 elsewhere.. i've been tempted but its just too close to new shiny coming out now
Can see it dropping below £300 soon, especially when 9000X3D release.
Hope the September release rumour is true for the new X3D's.

It can currently be had for £288

Stop it! Temptations are growing!
From certain place with 20% off first order with credit and cashback?
no just voucher to be used on the bay doesnt seem to work now though
Oh! saw some vouchers drop but they were for Fashion so just ignored it lol.
The method i mentioned will get you close to that figure though, albeit you have to wait for your cashback and its not guaranteed.

Done. Just pulled the trigger on 7800X3D, MSI X670E Tomahawk, Corsair Dominator Titanium 6000 CL30 and Arctic LFIII 360
7800x3d is fantastic had it for about 6 months. Majority of my games with a 7900xtx card at 1440p are reaching the max refresh rate of my monitor at 144fps. I'm sure the 9800x3d will be very good but for me it's not relevant and will wait on the next series.
Who else has a 7800x3d and don't think they need to upgrade yet?

Personally would be waiting for benchmarks now before making any cpu purchase this close to release.

They'll be milked with almost certainty, then decent price drops within just months, especially so if Intel are very competitive with 15th gen

Skipping one gen is a good idea IMO, being one gen out of sync doesn't matter much and you get a bigger performance jump if you wait until next time round, and you save money.

might be time to upgrade the old 5900x lol
I wouldn't upgrade if I was still using my old 1440p UW monitor because, like you're finding now, frame rate would be capped out on a lot of titles. But now that I exclusively game in 4K I will consider an AMD Zen 5 X3D chip, particularly for upcoming UE5 games and MSFS2024.

I usually upgrade once I feel the performance is lacking. At that point I look at what available and the cost then make decision. Over the last 5 years the CPU market has always had tons of options.
Zen5 on the desktop seems underwhelming while laptop products look much more exciting. Older RDNA tech and no NPU. Lower power usage for the lower-end products sounds nice but l am interested in how much performance they will lose because of their much lower base clocks in multithreaded workloads, compared to their predecessors. Hopefully, AMD prices these desktop variants aggressively since they are using 6nm/4nm which must be quite cheaper than whatever Intel will be using.

For those that didnt read the article in full..

I wonder if decent overclocking might be a thing with these 65w 8-Core 9700X's?
AMD's Ryzen 9000 won't beat the previous-gen X3D models in gaming, but they'll be close — improved 3D V-Cache coming, too
Ryzen 9000's 3D V-Cache will get new features.

It’s very unlikely AMD could produce chips for less than Intel. Intel produces its own chips in house and competes with TSMC in production. Intel’s foundries also regularly receive government subsidies and grants. AMD use TSMC for it’s production and TSMC make a healthy profit for providing that service.
