  1. You made the comparison between 9800x3d and 9700x but didnt show the benchmarks between the 2 on high res gaming (1440p, 2k, 4k) 🙁
    If it is close between the 2 in high res gaming I would definitely purchase the 9700x over it.

  2. Currently running a ryzen 9 3900x and got a Ryzen 7 9800X3D this morning for msrp, just need my mobo and ddr5. So hype for this chip. Anyone have suggestions on a decently priced AIO for this beastly CPU?

  3. yes i game on 1080p…but listen…im still on 1st gen Ryzen 1600…so yes im buying 9800X3D to last me another 7 years 😀 why would i buy 5700X3D now, and then replace it again in a year or 2

  4. I appreciate the transparency. Most non technical people watch 1080p benchmarks, see ~100fps improvement, buy the x3d chip and then play on nothing but 2k or 4k resolution with nearly no benefit after spending much more than they should on a cpu and less on gpu. Buyers should only purchace an expensive x3d only if they have a 4080 or 4090. Pairing it with a 7800xt or a 4070 is a waste of money.

  5. Thanks for including the 1440p and 4K benchmarks as some of the reviews are just showing 1080p Low which is absolutely pointless. Overall it's a pointless upgrade. But great for anyone buying their new PC or from an ancient generation.

  6. This is what I never understood about the insanely fast gaming chips.
    If you are building a high end rig, you are gaming at 4K.
    Every CPU from the 3600X up will handle 4K just fine.
    What really seems to make the difference is memory channels.
    A jump from a dual channel system to a quad channel system is making a big difference in new games like monster hunter wilds.
    As such, it would be awesome to see a threadripper with this same 3D v-chache technology, as the memory channels are likely limiting speeds.

  7. As a lifetime Intel user I'm glad to see AMD totally destroying Intel. Hope for Intel to put up a fight next year 😅 same as a CoD fan i hope new BF will kill CoD so they would rise stronger 😅 i like to see their competition that always brings us better prices or performance:D
