He chocked like Intel performance in games

However, he did so while maintaining a very low idle power consumption.

Same here but I will just pull the trigger sometime in 2025, new CPU + Mobo + Ram.

Yeah I think I'll hold on another year then maybe give this PC to my son as his first pc

 

[Smiggs]

His last post was October 10th. I wonder what happened.

Was he part of some recent Intel layoffs?

 

[marquimvfs]

I still couldn't wrap my head around it simply because how ahead of everyone they used to be. Even their last offerings were competitive somehow but now?! Jeez they are alive simply because of the US gov.

Things started fell apart when they (deservedly) lost the Apple contract.

So do we have any idea specifically when the 9800X3D will be going on sale on the 7th? Does anyone recall how it worked with the last generation of AMD processors?


This is the first time I've been in the market on day one for one of these, so I want to make sure I'm prepared.

Typically they will go on sale around the time the review embargo ends.

You shouldn't need to worry too much, CPU launches are nowhere near as chaotic as GPU/console launches are.

Ordered a am5 board and ddr5, gonna get to Microcenter about 30 minutes before they open Thursday. Shouldn't have any issues getting one right?

I guess I have this same question as well. I'd like to just go into my local Best Buy as they open on Thursday and pick one up, but I have no idea if that's a reasonable plan.

Usually reviews are published at 14:00 GMT, because of NDAs.
I don't know if this also limits when retailers can put these CPUs on sale.

I expect the review embargo to end at 14:00 GMT, on the 7th.

MB will need a flashbios?

 

[Dusktildawn48]

MB will need a flashbios?

Yeah, I'll do that when the board comes in most likely tomorrow.

 

[winjer]

MB will need a flashbios?

Yes, AGESA 1.2.0.2a
Most vendors already have updates out.

 

[StereoVsn]

Thinking about switching my 5600x, really don't feel like swapping the mobo as well.

Just get a 5700x3d or 5800x3d, whichever is cheaper. They are still very competent CPUs.

Nailed it! Embargo is 2:00pm in the UK for sales and reviews.

Will wait for 9950X3D…I’m upgrading for sure even if it’s not crazy uplift

This seal the deal fuck the 9800X3D

 

[Celcius]

If the 12 and 16 cores X3D cpu's again have only extra cache on 1CCX and the other gets disabled when gaming then I'd disappointed personally

Even if both have 3D v cache, if a program uses cores on both ccd it still incurs a latency penalty. The 8 core is just the way to go unless you have a real productivity need for the extra core imo.

Hopefully with zen 6 we can get 10 cores per ccd or something.

Then basically not much point for just gaming. I do want to see some productivity and gaming benches overall though.
