7900x3d same price as 7800x3d can be had for £349.99 elsewhere.. take the slight gaming performance hit for much better multi threaded performance..??

If it's purely for gaming the 7800X3D is the choice, If it's for productivity I'd opt for the 7950X3D but there are many scenarios due to the CCD latency that I'd veer more towards the 7800X3D.

Looks like Asus has been a bit naughty then as AMD said it's exclusive to the 9000 series.

AMD should offer it to all the other providers if it does work on ZEN4 purely as a token of appreciation for having to put up with their buggy AGESAS for the last year or so.

I have not had any AMD issues so far, been using 7950x well over a year, 14 hours a day.

I had tons of issues over my usage of AM5, there have been many who have had memory training issues, bios options that haven't worked, features that have been buggy or not worked very well such as Nitro. Extremely long boot times, forced internal GPU being enabled despite being disabled in the BIOS, High Voltage Mode for memory not working correctly, USB dropout issues, PCIEX GPU speed issues under load, incorrect SOC voltages and reported voltages, far too high default voltages (Ryzen AMD cookoff issue) M2 detection issues, I could go on. Even Buildzoid pointed out many options that simply do not work in AM5 BIOS's for certain boards and manufacturers.

I personally did not encounter many of these but I did a few, especially the issues with HVM, GPU PCIEX speeds , and long training times, and this has nothing to do with the crap option of Memory Context Restore that actually increases your latency even if it is stable, when it often isn't.

Thankfully ASUS seem to be one of the better ones to address their BIOS, I mean they had to after Gaming Nexus heavily criticized ASUS and AMD at launch, but I had many of these issues and more when I had an MSI board but I guess was unlucky in the early adopter crowd.

I use my PC for work so don't play with many settings, just disable iGPU/WiFi then set ECO Mode, and the fans. Don't even bother with EXPO anymore.
 
Interesting to see that the 7800x3d seems to be still performing well for gaming against the whole 9000 series line up. They'll be a 9800x3d coming I am sure the question is how long do you need to wait for it?
 
Just out of interest did anyone buy a 7900x3d ? I know there is supposed latency but even with a 7950x3d there are bound to be situations soon where 8 cores are not enough. So I maybe tempted to buy a 9900x3d/9950x3d when they release, as it covers my productivity uses as well and I wanted to know what users had experienced here as they would have been more likely to run into these issues.

I think the issue was always around games picking the core that uses the 3d vcache and not trying to use a none vcache core. Not sure if they solved those issues or not. You've got 6 cores with extra cache and 6 cores with the standard amount on a 7900x3d the none vcache cores can boost to a higher frequency I'd imagine but then won't have access to the vcache. If they have fixed the core selection issues then yeah it's probably best of both worlds. I'd certainly read up about it though.

Yeah had guessed that might have been the case. Was wondering just how much of an impact it was. In cases where it does pick the correct cores but there are not enough is it that much of an issue. I can see games moving at quite the pace in the next few years so even 8 x3d cores are not enough so would be interesting to know.
 
As I posted up a bit - IMO games definitely getting to the place where 6 cores (and/or 6x 3D cache) isn't a good long term move. Probably be awhile before they push past needing more than 8 full performance cores for the main game threads as additional threads are still likely to be more incidental stuff more tolerant of moving between CCDs and/or being on lower performance cores.
