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

Linus says 7950x3d and 7900x3d owners got trolled hard hard and it was a dirty trick by AMD looking to make a quick buck off of "rapid fans"


Lol, the drama queen loves his drama. There was plenty of suspicion literally months ago the 7800X3D would be great for gaming due to the single ccd. If gaming is the main use then its the one to go for. Don't think amd held a gun to anyone's plums and made them buy other cpus, that's upto the individual and their own needs.
 
I think I'm sold. Yea, looking at the charts, the 7800X3D doesn't do any of the Photoshop or Blender stuff very well (relative). I would say that 90% of my time is gaming, the rest is light use, and occasional content-heavy workload. So for me, it's looking like the 7800X3D is the solution to the problems I didn't know I had! :cry: (Kinda glad now that the 7950X3Ds have been backordered for >1 month!)
 
He also praised its efficiency. 7700x and 5800x3d were running 50% higher watts (although why didn't he use the 7700?) UK lads would save 1/3 of their energy bill over 5 years with 2 hrs gaming 1 hr full load/rendering daily (£180 vs £120). Most games were GPU bound, but he argued a 5% boost now could be a 15% boost in future games.

He also said staggering the releases so reviews don’t compare the 7800 to the 7900 and 7950 was a dirty Intel move. But every review under the sun said wait for the 7800, and that was before the scheduling issues. Anyone spending this amount should’ve done due diligence. He also specced out a PC with a 6700xt and 7800x3d lol. And 2x8gb ddr5 ram, which I've heard has slower IC than 16gb modules and should be avoided.

"In fact, the 7800X3D even eclipses the 7950X3D in some games, and its simpler single-chiplet design means that it performs much more predictably too. When it comes to high-end gaming performance, nothing in the current generation can touch the 7800X3D from a value perspective."

Sounds impressive! (https://www.eurogamer.net/digitalfoundry-2023-amd-ryzen-7-7800x3d-review?page=5)

Might have to cancel my backordered 7950X3D (if I can get one of ht 7800X3Ds of course!!)
Is that when you leave all cores on the 7950x3d? I don't really understand how it would beat the 7950x3d when in theory you can disable a chiplet and make it into a 7800x3d unless there's something funky going on?

I feel like some of these reviews are a minefield because the 7950x3d is so damn complicated that you can't even be sure the tests are when it's at its best or when the scheduling massively messed up and put it on the wrong cores etc. Admittedly none of this should be an issue and 7950x3d should just work out of the box like any normal CPU, but it would be nice to see out of the box performance vs tinkering performance for the people who don't mind going that extra mile. Of course I realise considering reviewers don't actually get much time to put out reviews it's not really that viable.
 
@Gibbo looks like the 7800X3D is going to be a popular one. Now the embargo has been lifted. You willing to comment on stock levels and launch timings for tomorrow?

Also if low supply vs predicted demand would be great to see Forum users getting priority just like you done for the GPU crisis. Stick them up at like £5k and have a discount code to drop them to normal price.
 
The way AMD launches go I wouldn't even be surprised if the 7800X3D launched with only pre-orders available. I mean in theory they shouldn't be much easier to produce than 7950X3Ds right? So no reason for stock levels to be much better?

More chance of getting it for free I reckon :P
