[@prussell890]

Just bear in mind that the gpu is far more important and the performance of the 9800x3d would be highly dictated by the gpu. Never buy an expensive cpu and then skimp out on a gpu like a lot of rookie pc users. Pc's are a very very expensive investment and becomes outdated very quickly. Im waiting 12 months to see if intel can respond to this AMD slaughter 😂

[@Revan_7even]

​@@prussell890 The CPU definitely helps in simulation games, Unreal 5 games (which everyone seems to be switching to), or Capcom's games like Dragon's Dogma 2 and Monster Hunter Wilds. Also depending on how old the cpu is (I had an i5 4690K with a GTX 1080), upgrading the GPU may not make a difference in framerate in new games because they are more CPU heavy. I could crank the graphics up to high but be getting the same 20-30fps as on low settings because CPU was at 100% usage. Needed a whole platform upgrade to update CPU to 7800X3D, so still had a GTX 1080 for a year but doubled my FPS.

[@prussell890]

@Revan_7even yes in your situation its 100% worth it if you upgrade to a high end gpu. Unreal 5 is horribly optimized if im right in thinking. I was thinking of changing to AMD but I wont see any serious gains from my current i7 14700k and 4080 super. My i7 14700k is still a very fast cpu

[@michaelbraaten]

Hey Roman, one small addition I personally would like to see in these comparisons is the calculated ratio of frames/watt or watts/frame. Obviously I can pause the video and run the numbers on my phone calculator pretty easily, but it does interrupt the flow of the video. For me, seeing those ratios expressed numerically is a quick and easy way of cataloging the performance in my brain; seeing it and hearing you discuss it in those terms would help simplify the information for me and other people like me! Thanks, and great content as always!

[@snemarch]

It would be nice to se you do a deep dive on different thermal compounds when delidding - liquid metal as usual, your KryoSheets, ptm7950, perhaps even some regular thermal paste. Like, focusing on engineering, material science, and longevity - it's great when you go into the nitty-gritty details. A video of that kind could skip all the gaming benchmarks, but of course do a synthetic all-core load like Cinebench to show the temperature differences of the different compounds. Would be interesting if you also add your high-performance heat spreader and talk about differences in thermal compound between the HPHS and cooler.

If buffing the die seems necessary for liquid metal reliability perhaps you could include simple die stencils with the delidding tool to help protect the PCB. Uploading stencil files for different generations that we could 3D print or trace onto thin cardboard would be really cool as well. This is finally becoming what we've hoped X3D could be. We may even see them integrate cache into the main Zen 6 lineup now. Intel really has an uphill battle ahead of them...

Now that the processors with 3d cache are unlocked, it will be interesting to see the performance of the 9900x3d and 9950x3d. Maybe this closes the gap that the 3d models of the 7000 line had in games.

I've tried to find at least one source that could do max RT/PT tests with open world games like Cyberpunk, Star Wars, Spider-Man, etc. The high Ray Tracing does hit so hard on many game CPU performance. I've been running a lot of high-end RT and PT test for CPU loads. It's been just unbelievable how demanding some games, scenes, settings are for CPU usage. Not just average usage, but 0.1 & 1% fps averages. I have been running CPU tests for 15+ years, but just under a year with CPU tests with RT on wide a range of titles. My well binned 5800x3D does limit hard my Cyberpunk experience even at 4k & 1440p ultrawide screens. Started testing with max graphics + PT, but lower rendering resolution. The CPU becomes a massive bottleneck even at 60 fps range or lower (medium crowd density). Trying to use high crown density, CPU is screaming help. I would just like to know the difference on CPU heavy scenes, 5800x3D vs. 7800x3D vs. 9800x3D. Maybe more if possible. These three would at least show the low and average fps difference when using 4090. The game could run low ultra performance 4k mode or 1440p ultra performance. I would just like to see those Path Tracing and more demanding open world RT games CPU differences. I would do these test, but sadly miss the hardware needed.

[@alexturnbackthearmy1907]

Using a super fast, very expensive kit is a bit unfair, but if you can get a kit that's faster but perhaps with looser timings for the same price, and that works out to be faster, then Intel should be shown with that advantage, because users would make that same choice (at least if they're informed users who watch your videos :D )

7000 direct die frame v2 should be compatible right? I don’t see anything that’s physically different than the regular 9700x.

Both cats approved. Enough said! 😹

Hey Roman! Great work. Are you still playing PUBG occasionally? Would you mind sharing the performance of the 9800X3D compared to the 5800X3D&7800X3D in PUBG? Its still my main game and im always chasing lower 1% lows.

I got my 9800X3D on order, sadly I live in Canada and our postal service is on strike currently, so I probably won't see my CPU until after that's all done, but upgrading from the 5800X3D, I'm looking forward to the performance and efficiency gain! Next I will just need to save up for a used 4000 series GPU to make this computer truly efficient, as I run an RTX 3080 right now

Der8auer, glowing review. Cats, paws for thought. I'm a little concerned, what do the cats know?

I can’t believe all they had to do to make overclocking possible was to flip the chip and cache. And I’m so glad someone at AMD realized it
