7800X3D: 8 cores $450
7950X3D: 16 cores $700 (+$250) His maths is worse than mine
The 7800X3D is expensive, having said that i paid the same for my 5800X and that was good value at the time.Maths is okay, typo's when posting quickly is not
IMO the $450 7800X3D is worse value than the $700 7950x3D. You're getting literally half a CPU. Each to his own though
But the performance in games is the same without all the extra non-cache core faff.Maths is okay, typo's when posting quickly is not

IGPU and a ..... 4090What GPU are you using with the 7950X3D? Please say 4090
That's what I read on this forum but could be wrong! Usually when the source is trust me bro its wrong.This is certainly my plan, and I'm not even much of a power gamer, it's just the 7800X will be a fine chip in most other tasks as well. I doubt youtube will show any difference because of the drop in MHz
Outside of video encoding and 3D rendering, is there anything that really benefits from the extra 8 cores in the 7950X? In a way that a human can feel and say "ah, yes, this is less annoying"?
Wait, does Stellaris actually use multiple cores now? It's been a few years since I played, and it only seemed to load 1 core... will have another shot if they've taken advantage of modern CPUs at last!

If he is, he'll definitely see a noticeable difference vs a 5800X3D with RT enabled at Toms diner.
I think so yes in this edge case. You'd need a GPU strong enough to render enough FPS at 4K with Ultra RT. I suspect you'd have to use DLSS though to highlight the issue, otherwise i doubt the GPU FPS would be high enough.Even at 4K?

No, it can take some load off the GPU though as you're running a lower resolution. You can see that just by looking at GPU power draw dropping with DLSS enabled. Same applies to FSR too of course.Doesn't DLSS take load off of the CPU though?
There will be a slight difference as the boost clocks are different.But the performance in games is the same without all the extra non-cache core faff.

Sure, and that's why there's the 7950X3D if you want extra cores.There are many of us that use PC's for other applications than gaming.
Though even if you're just a gamer - there are already games that need > 8 cores to run best. If you're spending £525-550 for a 7800X3D, why not spend £200-250 more for double the CPU? There's also the resale value to consider down the line, when many more games will use > 8 cores.

Which games need more than 8 cores to run best at 4k with RTX 4090
And is it really double CPU when the other CCD has no 3d cache.
And how bad is the latency penalty hoping from one CCD to another for such games needing more than 8 cores. As no CPUs exist that have more than 8 good cores on same CCD or ring.
Wouldn't you get latency penalty when each CCD is 8 cores each ? Spreading over would course latency?
I reckon 7800x3d is gonna age the same as 7950x3d with gaming just like zen 3 did
When needed they'll release future generations with 12-16 cores per ccd ?
You're better off going for a more well rounded chip than wasting money on the highest end, then upgrade in a couple of years or whenever you feel is worth it. More cores will do little/nothing for those who upgrade often and game and barely do anything else, which ironically is what some of those who get the highest end chip end up doing, just go for fast cores and the amount you need.Wouldn't you get latency penalty when each CCD is 8 cores each ?
