I mean the 7950X3D is still the better CPU right, it's just that the 7800X3D is quite a bit cheaper?
I'm unsure whether to cancel my 7950X3D pre-order and put in a pre-order for a 7800X3D...

I would argue the 7800X3D is the better product.

User has 0 issues to worry about and it's very clear that it focuses on gaming performance at the cost of general performance.


Since you're in two minds between a 7950X3D and a 7800X3D it seems you don't have a real use for those extra cores?

I was thinking you could always turn off the second CCD if having issues, but then I noticed a few review sites have been saying that if you go from a 7950X3D to a 7800X3D (unlikely for most of us) that it still seems to park cores, but now it's parking ones that could be used as they're on the same CCD. The solution is apparently to do a clean install of Windows. So I'm just wondering if you might suffer the same issue disabling a CCD on a 7950X3D?

You are correct, if I turn off a CCD1 on my 7900X3D windows still parks half the remaining cores.

I saw that as well. It's interesting because we didn't see any reports of that when people did the second CCD disabled benchmarks back during the 7950x3d release reviews. Unless all those reviewers did indeed do a complete reinstall when disabling the second ccd.

I guess the only way to know for sure if that's required is if someone who has a 7950x3d here could test it or something?

Ah, that's unfortunate. I'd imagine that might get fixed though. I can't imagine it should be hard to put a check in to stop that behaviour. Of course something to keep in mind incase it doesn't get fixed I suppose.

I'm struggling to understand why they have multiple SKU's with 3D cache if they're just going to hobble the one that makes any amount of sense without all the voodoo to park cores...

I mean sure the 7950x3d has the benefit of also being decent for productivity but it still seems a bit stinky to me.

I had a preorder for the 7950X3D and cancelled it after watching and reading many reviews for the 7800X3D. My PC is mainly for regular use and gaming (at 4K with a 4090). I don't do any production work apart from some occasional music recording. I have a 5800x at the moment and that is more than enough for 4K gaming and what I do...but I wanted to upgrade. For my case there is really no benefit in spending £300 more for the 7950X3D when the 7800X3D does pretty much the same thing if not better in gaming (for the most part). So, I ended up ordering the 7800X3D today.

Same here. I did exactly what you did.

I did the same thing. I just wanted the fastest and all I do is game.

From what i've seen the 7800x3D is very slightly faster overall than the 7950x3d (average). So was very happy to cancel my old order and spam f5.

I'm 1440P UW on a 4090.

Yeah, it does make sense to just go with the 7800X3D. It will mostly be for gaming so the 7800X3D is probably the sensible choice.
Watch me, by accident, end up playing almost exclusively games that don't benefit from the 3D cache...

How's that going to work, most people are still awaiting pre-order and now the price will drop before they get their orders, but they'll probably still be paying the old price?
