Poll: Ryzen 7950X3D, 7900X3D, 7800X3D

Will you be purchasing the 7800X3D on the 6th?

Really? (i'll watch that video in a bit) i knew the 6000 was the sweet-spot, but didn't think CAS mattered massively.

I have been buying parts these past few weeks, in the run up to the release of the 7950X3D, and I went with TeamGroup Delta Alpha (AMD 'specific', compared to their Delta range) https://www.teamgroupinc.com/en/product/delta-alpha-ddr5

6000 CL38

My 'thing' is i am looking for white DDR5 :) hard to find the perfect RAM (white, DDR5, 6000, CL30, 2x16GB, EXPO) - something had to give (in this case, it was CL38 vs CL30)

*EDIT* -> if someone knows of / can point me to the 'utopia' RAM, that would be great!
Yes and the price is also higher for the higher latency same manufacturer.
 
Looking at the benchmarking LTT did CL36 is going to be perfectly fine. Obviously lower latency will be slightly better but it's hard to justify the extra cost. With an X3D chip "hot paths" will more often fit into the cache and not be touching system ram so the impact of lower latency ram will be diminished vs chips without the extra cache.

Will be nice to see some data around it once people start getting their chips.

I'l be posting a ton, it'll be a while though. Got some Hynix 16gbit A.

I think the 6000 cl30 vs higher thing is important not because of the CL, but because e.g. 30-36-36 will be Hynix 16gbit M while 38-38-38 will be Samsung 16gbit whatever. The hynix chip does tighter timings elsewhere and those other timings have more substantial performance impacts.

I would definitely go Hynix 16gbit M for cheap - this for example, £170 for 32GB of a solid bin. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/team...kit-white-ff4d532g6000hc30dc01-my-0b6-tg.html

Hynix 16gbit A can be comparable, maybe slightly better and more interesting for future proofing because it's much better at clocking up but it costs a lot more for a good kit.

So we know the 7950X3D will be £749.99 but will there be any Haribo? This is what people want to know.
Randoms would be a good replacement. But on topic as a few have said "wow much less power than intel" & I think by the time Santa put one in my stocking they will have matured.

Cheers for that. Maybe i'll pick up the Vengence as well, and i can test the CL36 vs CL30 for myself. Then i will know if the different timing makes a difference for the tasks i do.
 
I nabbed a 7900x3d before they disappeared but I'm having buyers remorse as they have still not released the benchmarks for it and it makes me very suspicious
If it’s a 6/6 core configuration that will probably be worse than the 7800X3D for gaming. It’s 8 cached cores then that’s good.

A bit random I know but at least its something for you.

 
Feels a bit like the 7900x3d is a bit of a nothing CPU tbh, ist a 7600x3d with extra productivity if needed ?.. most would be better waiting for the 7800x3d
 
There was a YouTube video saying you should really really use 6000MT/s CL30 (not 36!), and the difference is massive can be massive. Ryzen has always been very latency sensitive. Let me try and find the video.

The video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOatIQuQo3s.
Basically you can see even slower MT/s but lower CL is better. I'd shop around and search for 6000MT/s CL30 as I mentioned.
A 6000CL36 can run cl30 pretty easily BTW, had it for months at c30 34 34
