PS5 pro or 9800X3D or both?

I've got my Pro in processing and am keeping an eye on it. Subsequently, if I'm pleased enough, I'll be selling my 7800X3D and DDR5 CL30 32gb kit as well

I'm very very tempted for that 9800X3D. It's been a while since I've had an AMD CPU.
Gonna wait a few days and see what the benchmarks are like what the motherboard situation is. (Are there going to be entire new mo-bo's for this chip or are the current mo-bo's simply going to get BIOS updates?)

What are you getting this week for me it’s both. Love shiny new toys!
PS5 pro, then waiting for 9900x3d for early next year. Not going back to 8 cores after using 12 on 5900x. Use it for work as well and having vm's running whilst doing other stuff is just so useful

PS5 Pro, a Mac Mini, and a £4600 Macbook Pro M4 Max lol

I have a 7950x3D in my rig. I don't feel the need to update the 9000 series, but we'll see. Depending on how things go, I might build another rig next to my TV when the new generation of GPU drops.

PS5 Pro..... for now
I am on a 5600X, so need a new motherboard, new memory, the new processor, and maybe something extra for the AIO cooling (not sure how corsair handles this). I will wait for the RTX 5 series to show what it's got first. Maybe I'll upgrade that first.

If you're getting a 5090 I'd would gravitate more towards the 9800X3D. Your GPU will need all the CPU power it can get. Plus the resale value for the 7800X3D is at an all time high rn.

The PS5 Pro won't be going anywhere and will be readily available. When GTA VI drops, or a big console exclusive comes next year; pick one up for that.

Waiting for the 9950X3D.
And will probably get a playstation when Death Stranding 2 launches if that's not PC day 1.

I am super tempted to either get MBPro 16 M4 Max or Mac Mini M4 Pro with 64GB RAM. Do I need them since I already have M3 Pro MBPro? No, but performance jump is supposed to be massive.

So going to look at the benches, especially for AI side and for 9950x3d results and see which one I want.

PS5 Pro Top Salary Edition I will leave to others. PS5 Peasant is enough for a rare exclusive I would play. Might change my mind next year, but not right now.

Pro this year, probably the 11800X3D in 2 years. Or possibly the 9800X3D+ if they come out with a new version that has better infinity fabric/DDR5 clocks
