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

280mm AIO cooler recommended in that AMD video.

I have a 5800X3D and it gets very toasty for all core workloads. Guess these new 3D CPU's will have the same heat density challenges. Will be interesting to see the reviews.

what do you mean by more headroom for future upgrades ? both boards are unlocked you can get b650e boards with pcie 5.0 and gen 5 m.2 unless you need more ? or some other feature needed ?

I think the more premium x670e has more bandwidth for pcie 5.0 and more space for NVMEs and bigger VRMs for overclocking. Not sure how much headroom this will actually be as current GPUs don’t exhaust pcie 4.0 let alone pcie 5.0 and VRMs tend to be over specified anyway.

Only x670e I would stretch too is the ASUS ROG Strix X670E-F at one point it was around £360 now If I search cheapest is £392

The £/ dollar rate had shifted a bit since then

On the 28th of September 2023 the exchange rate was around 1.08 dollars to the pound (just before the 7950x release).


It's around 1.23 now.

Ahhh ok. Thanks for clearing that up.

Definitely a marketing strategy to force the impulse buy of the 12/16 core products. Either that of they have stock shortages of the 7800X3D and are not wanting back orders.

@Gibbo might as well be the first to ask. Can you speculate as to rough UK pricing based on current market conditions and if and when preorders will go live?

$1 = £1.01 OCUK pound
 
With that CPU stuff I can see both sides, so they should just test 1080P/1440P/2160P and make everyone happy.

It definitely makes sense to use the resolutions that most people use with said hardware. However, you need the 1080P in there to make sure there is no GPU bottleneck in one scenario.

I don't buy the 720P malarkey though tbf.

I agree, the length of time it would take for scaling at 720p to become relevant would be beyond the lifespan most users keep CPUs for.

All 3 resolutions would be best, but I can understand that due to the amount of work required to benchmark multiple CPUs across three resolutions many reviewers don't bother.

Be a good move if Intel drop the price of the 13900k, and I think that’s going to happen before the 3d releases.
