I agree with Dave. The advance of this efficiency is stunning. Especially given recent global events. To equate those figures in any other way is ridiculous.

You agree with Dave that it would only take a few months for the difference in wattage usage to pay for the CPU? Really? :D As that is the only thing I am disagreeing with!

It's easy to get caught in the hype but at 4k gaming on my 4090 I could upgrade my 7600x for £750 for an average 10 extra fps per game.

I think half the time that's why they do 1080p testing, to make it seem like the difference is massive.

Anyone new to AM5 and just games, get a 7600-7700 and spend the extra 500 on literally anything else.

The speed you see in the specs is the chiplet without cache. If you disable that you drop down to the lower speed chiplet with cache which essentially makes it a 7800X3D.

I mean the cached chiplet. It’s running at 5.25GHz on the 7950X3D (cached all cores boost). You would need to drop it to 5GHz for it to be the same as a 7800X3D. Assuming of course that the 7800X3D can boost at 5GHz on all cores at once.

The difference between a 7600 and this chip is massive though. Hence the difference in price.

Well, understood if you disable it normally for reason x. But it's enabled by default in all Windows installs, so it's a handy way to ensure that games use the optimal CCD for maximum performance without requiring too much hand holding by the user. That's how I see it right now. I'll let you know if my opinion changes once I've used it.

Can't they just make it use the 3d cache CCD at all times in games? I mean I get that some games might run better on the other one, but who cares, the 3d cache is going to be more efficient right? And it's a way simpler solution. Or am I missing something?
