AMD 7950X3D, 16 cores/32 threads. Bought it 4 months ago. At the same time I bought 64GB of DDR5 RAM and got an AM5 motherboard.
Previous CPU was a 9900K (8c/16t) that i had since mid 2019. What a difference. In some games I'm getting more than double FPS. I had upgraded to a 4080 and i guess it was bottlenecked.
I could've got a 7800X3D but i don't just game on my PC. the extra 8c/16t come in useful. I was originally looking at the 13900K but it runs too damn hot and uses a fuck load of power.
In idle this CPU runs hotter than my old 9900K by ~10C but when under load it's about the same in games (60C) and under intensive workloads it runs cooler. The 9900K could go to 95-100C but this CPU doesn't go past 89C no matter what I do. I'm using the same cooler/case/fans as I did with the 9900K.
