Poll: Ryzen 7950X3D, 7900X3D, 7800X3D

[ZXSpekky48k]

Should make for a nice surprise present for my wife if it releases on Valentine’s Day!

The perfect gift for the lucky lady - she'll insist on the 7950 x3d I imagine

I always thought faster = better idc about price (within reason).

Basically just a better binned 13900k.

yes....and faster out the box
but ive just seen amd have stated the 14th feb is the 7800X3D release date which isn't far away at all, so there's that to consider. plus being cooler/less power hungry, future upgrade possibility....decisions decisions!

Supposedly will be on sale from Feb 14

That’s good to know

Also someone said to me earlier why I'm gaming with a i9 10940x because its a high core count CPU it wont be getting high FPS for gaming compared to a lower core count CPU, but the latest AMD CPU's also have a high core count, if not more than intel, no?

well they are kinda for different purposes. 7800x3d will be best bang for buck for a high end gaming system, the higher core count cpu's are for when you have other tasks to perform which can use them properly. You'll usually know if you need one of those beasts or not, but if just gaming then they are kinda pointless

I’m wavering on the 7800x3d but would there be much point in getting one of the better motherboards with higher VRMs if you can’t overclock the CPU?

To be honest most of the boards have more than adequate VRM’s even at the lower end. What boards are you looking at?

Intel's also releasing another CPU 'generation' on Z690/Z790 according to rumors, as Meteor Lake is delayed. Though I can't see how they can get much more out of Alderlake/Raptorlake without major architectural/process changes, which aren't happening to our knowledge.

Moah powhar! 500W or bust.

It was the same with X570, massively overspec VRMs for CPUs that couldn't push much over 200W even with a 5950X.

@Gibbo Will OCUK have stock of Ryzen 7000 X3D on the 14th?

Was looking at the x670e Strix-f and the cheaper Tuf one.

I just ordered a x670e-f myself, waiting for it to arrive. As far as I could tell it looked like a really good board, it doesn’t compromise anywhere if you fill up the sata/Nvme drives, unlike some other boards. It looks good, and it has a really high end VRM.

A lot of other boards all seem to have compromises, or they are just way too expensive for what they should be.

To hell with it……just buy them all

is this for the AMD 7950 chip or the 7950X3d chip?

or does this specific board handle both chips?

Both it's am5 socket , future zen 5 and zen 5 x3d cpus will also work on it

Will handle both fine, it has a massive 90A VRM.

I can’t imagine any situation where any available CPU now or the future would be held back by its VRM.

To be honest, any AM5 board released will run a 7950 within its specification.

The VRM on the Strix F is so oversized you would kill your CPU before the board couldn’t handle the power…

Do you know if the vrms is the same on the x650 ITX version.

Asus ROG Strix B650E-I

No it isn't. It's a 10 +2, but it's still more than enough for any of the SKU's.

AMD cancelled launch on 14th, launch still in "February" though > https://videocardz.com/newz/a-heart...zen-7000x3d-is-not-launching-on-february-14th

I'm going to order a cheap R5 7600 (non X) just to get my AM5 system up and running, make sure nothing is DOA

Doesn’t seem like it was a cancelled date just that the original was a miscommunication. That could have course be a polite way of saying it was cancelled. At least it is still Feb. Gives me time to build the system ready to drop the final piece in.
