Who cares about the 7900X3D, its why its still in stock
I'd be interested to know how many 7950X3D's OCUK had.
Is it really worth another £150 ?

The 5800x3d is looking a very good buy right now. From trying to find places that have the 7950x3d i've seen it down to £330 inc
This is the wrong place to ask these questions. Even if it is worth paying extra to someone, other people won't see the benefit.
I watched the Gamers Nexus review on it and he basically said when companies only send out one sample its abit sus. Either the 7800x3d is too good and will take away sales from the higher tier chips or its absolutely pants and abit of an embarrassment 
. Have to wait and see

No i don't think it is but when you're spending over £700 on a CPU you're doing that because you want the best, the 3090 was never worth 2X as much as the 3080 but Nvidia sold it in massive numbers, because it was the best.
No, he meant 7900x3d, not 7800x3dI watched the Gamers Nexus review on it and he basically said when companies only send out one sample its abit sus. Either the 7800x3d is too good and will take away sales from the higher tier chips or its absolutely pants and abit of an embarrassment
We all know that 7800x3d will embarrass every CPU on the market
Seen it as cheap as under £300. Was really tempted, but figured I'd rather just do a full upgrade.
May end up going that route anyway if I see it particularly cheap since this stock situation was a total bust and I'm not hopeful that the 7800 is going to be any better.

HUB did the 7800X3D simulated by turning off the CCD with no cache, its a little better....

I noticed that. How accurate is that or should it be taken with a pinch of salt?

They didn't drop the clocks to match the clocks on the 7800X3D (5ghz max boost) so their tests were invalid.
What do you have to say the cached chiplet on the 7950X3D isn't the same as the cached chiplet on the 7800X3D
7950x3d vcache ccd max boost is similar to 7800x3d. The reason you see 5.7ghz in specs is because non vcache ccd can clock that high

I'm really curious as to why AMD went the route of parking the 2nd CCD instead of doing what people have been doing for a while with multi-CCD chips and pinning the game process to one CCD using a similar method to process lasso. I'd like to think AMD have some special insight but given how their software dev seems to usually happen it's more likely it was just easier this way for them xD

Freq max is 5.25ghz on the v cache CCD on the 7950X - multiple outlets have reported this. Whilst the 7800X3D according to AMD's own page has a max of 5.0ghz.
There is no way a chip of the same architecture with the same amount of V cache but lower clocks is going to out perform a chip of the same but with higher clocks.
The difference isn't 9%. That's what I'm saying. And in the worst spots the 7600X chokes hard and you go even below 60 fps. THAT'S the issue, and why you can't just look at reviews and take them at face value. You need experience with the game & scenes. (See @Dave2150 's results in the post linked below the article link)
AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D Review - Best of Both Worlds
The Ryzen 9 7950X3D is the spearhead of the AMD Zen 4 X3D lineup. In our performance review we test AMD's new 16-core flagship with dozens of applications and 14 games at up to 4K, to see whether AMD can take the performance crown from Intel, how power consumption is affected, and what can be...

You do me a favor? Can you test Cyberpunk 2077 in the tom's dinner area? It's the heaviest area in the game, I wanna see how zen 4 holds up. I know the 3d crumbles. If you want directions how to get there, just ask My R5 7600 is close to 100% all around this area, poor thing! Tried the same...

Cyberpunk in particular isn't a GPU centric title, it's an everything centric title, because it can use more of whatever you have to feed it and spit out more fps, better image quality, faster loading, more & better AI (esp. with mods) etc.
The 7600X isn't within a few fps of the 7950X3D, in fact in games that most demand more CPU power it's very far from it (see above, but there's plenty of other examples like Forspoken, Hogwarts, Factorio, Borderlands 3, Far Cry 6, Age of Empires 4 etc. the list is huge).
Btw I don't understand this focus on the cost of the 7950X3D, if you only care about the gaming performance then obviously wait for the 7800X3D. You get a 16 core beast because you need/want that many cores, not because it's the best bang for your buck.
