In tasks where we are gpu bound the cpu makes sone difference but as it’s not the bottleneck the effect is low. Let’s say it’s between 5-10 fps at most.

So, I've been asking around about peoples thoughts on why someone should bother with the 13900k/ks still. I've seen quite a few people say AMD driver stability is quite poor or there are just a lot of random technical issues. Is this their bias or is that really the case?
I mean with the stock situation, laziness and confirmation of my cooler being good for 340W, I might just stick with my 13900ks.

Picked up 5800x3d for £250 just dropped cpu into current system paired with 3080 1440p very happy with the experience what I play and no temptation to upgrade

Granted we can take a run in blender and see a massive difference between the 7950X3D (after all it’s got 16 cores) and the 5800X3D. Gaming however and those numbers aren’t that different. If you want to game in 1080p then of course you’ll notice it but most people with say a 4090 won’t be doing that.

Been reading up and I don’t think I’ll have any issues. I’m really looking forward to seeing what I can get out of it. The efficiency is the most impressive given the performance. I just hope the Xbox game bar isn’t going to cause any issues.
It’s variable isn’t it. Many games fit happily in the cache of a 5700G.
But you'll be already getting high FPS at 1080p how you gonna notice if its well above 100fps if you not looking at the FPS counter?

I get that running at 1080p shows the potential strength of a CPU down the road. But surely any long term gains will be offset by a 3 times higher initial price and generational architecture improvements next gen? Like someone buying a 700 pound cpu is probably an enthusiast and not intending to keep it for a long period of time.
For a pure gamer (only) surely they would be better served going 7700x/78003d and then 8700/8800x3d for the same price or less as one CPU now.

Ok. I’m referring to A list titles like warzone for example which is a heavily cpu intensive title. You’ll see a 10 fps difference I reckon.
If you have nothing in mind then I can't see any reason you'd swap to one of the new AMD cpus.
They perform great and use less energy and cost a lot and you already have a cpu with similar performance.
I think I made that point a few posts back. Having the extra cache can help in a lot task including gaming. It’s not a silver bullet solution to every situation though.
It will depend on individual hardware configurations. Some people might see less and other more.

I’ve heard the 1% lows are better with the 13900k than the ryzen 7000 series. It’s a tough decision. You’ll also be able to up the memory frequency with the intel part.
There are lots of advantages with the 7000 series as well. There’s not much between them.
The only thing that keeps me from going with amd is the idle and light load power draw, which is pretty big compared to Intel. If you don't care about that then 7950x 3d > 13900k just for the gaming efficiency alone. If you already have a 13900k then not much point going for anything right now, keep what you have

This is what has always put me off AMD if I’m being perfectly honest. I’ve also heard the same sort of things with stability, high temps etc.
Shut down the system when not in use, or let windows place it in hibernation. People should do that regardless of vendor.

Depends a lot on how much you plan to keep a CPU and what expectations you have from it. For 60fps it doesn't matter if the 3600x/5600x gives you that while the 7950x3d pumps 120fps. The later is irrelevant.I still have hope that people, one day, will understand that those 240p results will actually translate in 4k results once you upgrade your GPU down the line. The reason the 5800x 3d is still doing great with a 4090 is exactly because it was doing well at "240p" with a 3090. If you are looking at 4k results then you would end up buying a 5600x, since its as fast at less than half the money. Then you buy your new shiny 4090 and go like "Oh ****" cause of the insane GPU bottleneck
