Well... he hasn't made a thread out of it, yet.

Expanding on it I'm really disappointed with the quality of tech journalism these days, almost none of them have a clue about the subjects they report on but worse than that they all think they do...

This whole thing came from a single sentence Dr Lisa Sue said in an investors conference. "We have been undershipping" which is common business speak for "There is less than usual demand for our products"

As i said being ignorant to this is not the worst thing about it, its assuming you know everything and then writing hyperbolic click-bait crap based on your idiotic assumptions.
:D Well hopefully it stays that way.

As for some levels of tech journalism, it's all about engagement and drama like that will get people talking, get them on their sites. It says more of the person that would use such sites in future after finding out it was nothing but clickbait rubbish (other people who usually are on point but make honest mistakes are not included in this unless it becomes frequent). The water becomes far more muddier when it comes to other types of journalism. I can deal with the tech side of it as it's much easier to expose.

Thing is, when the reader is equally uninformed, that's when any story can grow legs and now, even weeks after we're dealing with people re-posting the same exact article that has been explained.
I'm surprised that the action of shipping less inventory when demand drops is a foreign concept to folks. It's just common sense, otherwise you end up with oversupply, like what happened to AMD on a mining boom years ago or more recently with Nvidia and Ampere oversupply.
Lisa-Su needs to pull out a briefcase of money from an oven with "limited supply fund" written on the front but underneath the cash, RDNA 4 sits waiting. That would be top tier layered trolling.
 
I’m not sure with windows, I generally avoid using it as much as possible. I’ve not had those issue’s with my laptop when booting windows 10.
It's the same if you keep shutting down and never restart, it doesn't fully start from fresh as it's kept stuff in memory and tends to screw things up IIRC.
 
Well my 7950X3D didn't ship today, so must have missed the first batch. Have a busy week at work anyway, so not so bad. Think I'll survive with my 13900k in the meanwhile!

Good luck to all getting your CPU's tomorrow, hope they're good SP ratings and are fun to play with!

@Gibbo Any news on further 7950X3D deliveries please? :)

Has anyone else not received an order update from this morning? I placed an order at around 10:20 with next day delivery, when it was showing in stock but haven't heard anything since. Order hasn't progressed, no order updates, emails or a phone call.
 
Very interesting that the higher memory speeds don’t seem to offer anything significant. These benchmarks have the non 3d much closer in performance than I’ve seen from others also.

Will 8pack be leaving a comment on this video from his personal YouTube account saying how great and informative 8pack was ? :cry: :p

I'm in the same club, but this is normal. Basically we're in the front of the queue, so will receive CPU's in the next delivery batch.

Sit back, relax and that dispatch email will just appear one day :P

I don't know why they went with PBO on for the 7950x and the 7950x3D off :confused:

Only two cpus being compared why tweak one

Well the x3d is tweaked later but the 7950x is never shown stock.

I’ve always used them. Had an Aorus Master which was a good board mind you. I’m just familiar with Asus.
I'm the same.

I've used MSI, Gigabyte, ASRock and Asus and always go back to Asus.
The Gigabyte BIOS was pretty horrible although nothing compared to their fan control software. I mean none of the Fan control software is great and the Asus stuff is quite bloated but it seemed a little better. As for the BIOS, I think I've just got used to Asus over the years.
ASRock isn't bad, again the fan control software isn't ideal. The MSI was long enough ago that I can't remember exactly why I didn't like it, I just remember I didn't.

I actually had an issue with the fan curve software on an Asus board. As soon as I selected it in bios (one of the F keys in EZ mode) the whole system would lock up. A later bios update fixed it but ever since I just set my fans manually through the monitor menu.

Once I familiarised myself with Asus I couldn’t be bothered learning the little differences on other boards again, so just stick with them now.

I know they get slated by a lot of people but have always got on well with Asus. Current x570 Strix F is a very solid board.

x3d bypass memory storage on the memory on mboard and shaves off 70ns.
No memory can compete with that
gonna buy a 7800x3d after summer as the current 7600x plays all I want so well
 
How expo ram is important,have xmp gskill 6000 36 pair with 7600x,i might get 7950x3d or 7800x3d i really dont want to change the memory again

I plan on using my 6000 C36 - with the 5800 ram became less important due to the role the vcache made. Either way, I’m not changing my ram so soon.

Will wait until 64GB is cheaper at low latencies.

you havent seen the AM5 thread

ive had nothing but problems with this mobo
but i think its either down to the CPU or bad design that's ridddled with bugs
