What's best for gaming?
Short answer: 7800x3d
Long answer: AMD RYZEN 7 7800X3D
😂

[danchovanes]

Will be excited to see the 9000 series 3D models, that extra L3 cache makes such a difference in gaming performance

[billnwa]

Thanks for covering the air-cooling temps. These new chips being 65 TDP chips make them very interesting to me.

[poeticsilence]

I know it has been said before many times, but it's great you are back in your garage studio. Doesn't feel like a Paul's Hardware video otherwise .

[TheXeroLink]

Hey Paul, thanks for testing Flight Simulator.

[kaimurtagh]

Hey Paul, thanks for testing flight simulator!

[zeidel]

why no gaming comparisons against previous gen 7600x and 7700x

[Hagop]

"with theoretical future testing, I might be doing next week" As always the best humor in the tech review world.

[MrMartinSchou]

As the prices are basically identical, I get the point of testing against the 7800X3D, but it's a shame you didn't have the opportunity to test them against the 7000-series counterparts.

[alanharris]

Thanks for testing with MSFS2020, congrats on the A rating for landing too!

[NeoCyrus]

Straight to jail for no gaming comparisons to the 7700X.

[jd]

That "rotary dial" phrase in the initial promo brought me back to my youth

[justatim]

Thank You Paul for showing not just the test using a 360 AIO like all others but using the Phantom Spirit Air cooler which most would a cheaper air cooler over a AIO.

[giovannislasagna]

Just wait for the X3D variants in September. Literally a month away lol

[DeadlyKiller]

After the introduction of the X3D chips, and having a 5800X3D, i really don’t care about cpus unless they’re the new X3D chips.

[chrishexx]

It's good performance for the TDP and the cooler running temps are great, however you ideally want to see them compared at the same power draw.
You get the feeling these are holding back performance.

[davida]

Why was the 7700x not included against the 9700x in workloads?

[aidenhewson]

Thanks Paul, really like these side by side gaming benchmarks

[CCaravan]

Ha, nice that this testing also tested your landing skills with some good completion score :D Thanks for testing MSFS!

[JoeBob]

I don't think it makes a lot of sense to test these against the 7800x3D..
Better to test the 9700x with the 7700x, and the 9600x with the 7600x to see how much of an increase there is over last gen.
But yea, I suppose the 3D CPUs are more focused towards gaming so it may be handy for gamers to know if it's worthwhile to upgrade to these non-3D versions. But it would have been nice to see at least one last gen non-3D CPU in the gaming benchmarks too.
