Those X3D CPUs are looking amazing. The 7800X3D performance is off the charts.
And the 5800X3D is still keeping pace, despite being 2 generations old.

[pitochu]

Thanks for adding the 5800x3d. I am definitely not upgrading for a while longer.

[jhanninnen]

AMD Zen 5% and Intel Ultra 0% what a generation

[Jzwiz]

Man id like to thank all the people i watched on youtube who said get a 7800x3d and not a 14900k lmao. Jay/gn/hub/ltt etc. and glad to see it keeps getting validated as the safe choice

[minotaurus]

7700 non-X looks like a budget king here

[buncyfr]

So basically, the 5800x3d is still doing great. Guess ill wait another year or to at least to upgrade.

[SPSteve]

Really looking forward to the X870(E) motherboard review! Also looking forward to 9800X3D & 9950X3D reviews when available. Great job as always Steve and Hardware Unboxed.

[magicsmoke]

Amazed that 5800X3D still doing great.
I picked it up cheap few years ago and won't be upgrading anytime soon.

[MortalityUnleashed]

7700X + Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX V2 + 32GB G.Skill DDR5-6000 CL30 is going for $349 right now at Microcenter. Truly a blessing to live near one. This is hands down the best deal on starting a new PC platform.

[markldevine]

Your upcoming memory tests on AM5 motherboards will be invaluable. I'm leaning forward right now, knowing it'll still be in weeks. Thanks for all you do.

[Kmichelinstarmovies]

i just picked up a 5700x3d for £184 GBP as a shortterm upgrade from a R5 3600

[rcavicchijr]

After watching epyc reviews, it looks like this architecture really just focused on high end workloads where it seems to really shine. The epyc cpus also got a fully revamped IO dye, which didn't really change between zen 4 & 5. That makes me wonder if the 9800 x3d will give a bit extra if there's a bottleneck there.

[grospoulpe]

Great update, thanks 🙂
Can't wait for the 9800X3D review 😊

[StefandeJong]

The 7700X is now often available for like $230, making it a great value - if not the best - CPU in my opinion. Especially as the Ryzen 7600(X) is still around $190.

[DankBlank]

I'm still waiting for that 24H2 download.

[neilmazumdar]

Highly suggest watching High Yields breakdown of the architecture changes from the high res die photographs.

[TheAssirra]

This video once confirmed that getting the 7800X3D last year on launch was 1 of the best purchases I ever did.

[LinhLe-rsfr]

thank you Steve for the cs2 benchmark! tag it with cs2. A lot of players care about his.

[deansmits]

Just a note, if you remove the outlier of ACC corseta, generally you should move the worst performing outlier as well. Regardless you're still at about 4 or 5%.

[antontaylor]

Zen5 is blatantly aimed at data centre and workstation markets. Gamers were not a priority *at all*.

They put all their eggs in the AVX-512 basket, and they're probably pushing software developers behind the scenes to implement AVX-512 in everything.

If your workload is AVX-512 enabled, Zen5 kicks ass.

If not, it's still about 10%(ish) ahead of Zen4 fir many workstation and data centre tasks.

You don't matter to AMD (or Intel, or Nvidia). Data centre is all they care about.
