Poll: Ryzen 7950X3D, 7900X3D, 7800X3D

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

7950X3D for me I think. I am looking at doing a full upgrade and almost bought a z790 mobo and 13900 cpu but hate buying into a dead socket with no upgrade path without replacing the motherboard again.

7950X3D with high end mobo will see me for several years. Can slip in a 8950X3D or even a 9950XD later on if needed. i doubt future features on mobo will mean i need to change the current one if it has pci-e 5 slots and pci-5 nvme, There arent even cards out which use pci-5 yet.

Much better option than going Intel this time I think,. And the 7950X3D ought to be faster than the 13900 anyway,
 
Price is going to be a factor. I can’t imagine these being cheap.

Can't wait to pickup a 7950X3D on release, assuming it performs as well as we expect!

My 13900k will be donated to my VR/family rig (Nieces will be happy!), until then I'm enjoying getting the most from my 4090 with the 13900k :)

Can't wait until you post the same thing on the next AMD CPU thread and never ever buy one, to make your bias look less obvious. Keep it up though, one day you might post some actual truth instead of just rubbish.

You've always been borderline, but can I ban you as the obvious troll you are when you don't buy one?
 
Games will see no more than 96mb, just like the dual CCD chips see no benefit with their extra cache over single CCD chips. For gaming the 7800X3D is all that people should be looking at.

If the 5800x3d is anything to go by, more cache will benefit games more than clock frequency.

Yes/no

There are already games where the 5800x3d is no faster or even slower than the 5800x. Those are games where the game data already fits inside the existing cache so extra cache has no benefit. Cache doesn't provide 1:1 scaling, performance only improves as you lower latency by fitting more of the game in the cache, once everything is in there there is no further improvement from adding extra cache. The only reason you see EPYC and Xeon CPUs now moving towards hundreds and thousands of MB of cache is because those are used to multitask

Cache is also a one trick pony, once all CPUs have lots of cache there won't be any further gains to be had outside of cache getting faster and lower latency through other improvements, simply adding more cache won't do anything just like a PC with 128GB RAM doesn't run games any faster than a PC with 16GB RAM

How soon after the announcement do we expect to see them on sale? Would love to be putting an order in for one at the end of Jan.

What size AIO would be best for the 7950X3D?

People do other things as well as gaming on them you know? I want something with lots of cores and fast for my photo editing stuff. But then want even higher core speeds and performance for gaming with my 4090. This cpu sounds perfect

Yeah no way I'm changing mobo out - so it would be great if AMD did do 5900x3d and 5950x3ds - there would be a mass of people who would want on to that

No chance.

the 5800X3D is currently AMD's best selling CPU, even outselling the 7xxx series. AMD want people to upgrade/choose AM5 based hardware as their next choice.

Extending 3D Cache to 5900 and 5950 CPU's would just keep people on the AM4 platform. There would be no incentive to go AM5 as 3D versions of the 5900 and 5950 would significantly close the gap between the 7xxx series, especially in gaming.

As a 5800X3D owner, I'd love to see it though. :p

I know it's unlikely. However I suspect people in general if they're on AM4 won't make the jump and all the faff that comes with it to just the next generation - normally that comes 2-3 gens down the line. There's no real point to it for most users - however slotting in a new cpu is far easier and allows people to scratch the 'upgrady' itch. Ah well here's hoping.
