Exactly.. also it's exactly the same thing that happened with the 5000 series cpus again.. no one was fooled or played... drama for clicks ...because really it's a boring launch of what we all knew.

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!(Kinda glad now that the 7950X3Ds have been backordered for >1 month!)
So you photoshop and blender on a 1080p screen ?
These x3d chips only benefit 1080p and the odd 1440p game.. I know where my money would be if I did any creative apps or work on the pc. It wouldn't be an 8 core 1080p benefiting gaming chip.
its a 150w difference in some games vs Intel.So you photoshop and blender on a 1080p screen ?

That alone is a lot for some users
Man trying to get a accurate comparison of the 7950x3d and 7800x3d seems like an utter mess. Every reviewer gets different performance values for the 7950x3d due to it's utterly messy scheduling so it's difficult to know which is the truth. Hardware Unboxed seem to be the most favourable with most titles being slightly higher on the 7950x3d(not high enough to justify the £250 price increase of course) besides a few exceptions like factorio which just goes on the wrong CCD then you've got linus showing it far behind by a much more significant amount to the 7800x3d and it's just confusing why.
The efficiency is amazing, it's a great chip performance and power use. I don't have any issue with it but we knew what was coming from the 5800x3d so no real surprises. I'm more HEDT type user and 1080p has been dead to me for over 15 years on a desktop and only laptops with 17" screens use 1080p. No use for such a chip for me personally but for a person that games only and odd app, it's a great chip if you game at 1080p and want high refresh/frame rates.
AMD are leading this gens cpus in my book as they did with 5000 series. Intel's power use is still out of control on their cpus.

Incredible efficiency figures - great cpu from the looks of it. It is good that we're seeing innovation and steps forward at least in CPUs. Top GFX card on the other hand seems to be going the other way with just thrusting more power through it and making it a monster. Hopefully gfx will go the same way.

Why us in UK dont have a price for this 7800X3D yet?
I smell something.

It certainly is ominous.

Take the us price and add £50-£100
Hah they actually did bin/artificially limit the 7800X3D cache chiplet to 200Mhz less than the chiplet on the 7950X3D.
And since you are completely locked out from tweaking that yourself you can't challenge the frequency segmentation that's been set.
I'm doubting that the chiplets are binned for a miserable 4% frequency difference.
Not that I think it's a good idea for people to fiddle with the X3D frequency but I think they're taking advantage of a technical issue to create segmentation that the user can't bypass.

Yeah think that's what many of us expected after the specifications mentioned a 5ghz boost clock for the 7800x3d but people were reporting the 7950x3d went up to 5200 on the cached ccd.
A bit shady but I wouldn't expect it to change performance that much in the grand scheme.

didn't scatterbench guy overclock the 7800X3D to 5.4mhz?
I hope it's not true that the 7800X3D is locked to 200mhz less
You won't notice that limit for 7800x3d compared with 7950x3d, it really comes down to what you want to do with it, if its mainly gaming and very light production workload, it is a great chip.
If you are after heavy production, stick to the 7950x3d. Its fairly simple.

Pretty much sums it up. Me saying 'Photoshop and Blender' was just a reference to the GN review - where he mentions those as some of the content creation tests. Since I don't do anything heavyweight like in those tests; the 7800X3D is making more and more sense to me.
Plus the cost. Plus the efficiency. Plus I *might* be able to get one tomorrow

So i'm seeing a lot of, its a great cpu for people gaming at 1080p/1440p, but what for the people who are gaming at 4k? I was just going to go for the 7950x3d, but now the 7800x3d seems to be the much better choice?
Anyone of the current range of CPU’s pretty much perform the same at 4k. Any differences even with a 4090 will be minor. It might get better consistency though, better lows etc. for gaming I wouldn’t personally bother with a 7950x3d. Unless you specifically need the extra cores for other workloads it’s only an 8 core gaming CPU anyway…so buy the 7800.

It's much of a muchness as you're GPU-limited for the most part.

I'll probably go 7800x3d, I don't do any productivity, I game and watch content. It will definitely will be paired with a 4090, when I scrape the coin together
