Don't Overheat! CyberPowerPC seems the best site at the moment, Newegg is trash.
That's what the rumours say as well. I don't want to take a half step if the new gen brings actual gains to higher than 8c CCD's with VCACHE.This is a complete waste (unless they are competitive on pricing) since we already know Zen6 will have 12 Core CCD, which should be better than this dual 8-Core CCD for games, and both Zen6 and Nova Lake seem to offer 144 MB L3 cache, both of which could put this and the 9850X3D to shame.
Yeah, I am waiting for zen 6 and hopefully memory will be more affordable by then.This is a complete waste (unless they are competitive on pricing) since we already know Zen6 will have 12 Core CCD, which should be better than this dual 8-Core CCD for games, and both Zen6 and Nova Lake seem to offer 144 MB L3 cache, both of which could put this and the 9850X3D to shame.
Let's not get too crazy here. Current estimates are saying higher pricing is goin to stay post 2027 perhaps till 2030.Yeah, I am waiting for zen 6 and hopefully memory will be more affordable by then.
Its for the hybrid users like me who want the best of both worlds without he problems that come with only 1 3d Vcache on one or the two CCDs (relying on 3D V-Cache Performance Optimizer service/gamebar has its problems) . Thought I still wont buy it as the 9950x3d is enough for me for now.It's not clear who it's for?
Gamers simply don't need 16 cores x 2 CCD's, 8 cores x 1 CCD like the 9800X3D is more than plenty
Productivity applications simply don't benefit from the 3D cache, suddenly having 2 CCD's with 3D isn't going to make Photoshop or whatever run better than 1 CCD with 3D
Seems like a waste of 3D CCD's to me that would be better served going into 9800X3D and 9850X3D
