We have dozens of CPUs benchmarked for this comparison of some of the best CPUs out in 2024, with a heavy focus on the 9800X3D vs. 7800X3D for gaming PC builds. The coverage also talks differences between the 7800X3D and 9800X3D, thermals, efficiency, and value. The 9800X3D's release date is November 7, 2024, with an MSRP of $480, which puts it against the 7800X3D, 14900K, and 285K or 265K for immediate competition, with alternatives outside of gaming (such as mixed use PCs or workstation computers) such as the 7950X and 9950X.

Apologies for the late vid, still emotionally recoving from the recent US news

Either way, AMD is killing it with the gaming performance gains with their newest 9800X3D CPU!

        Fair…

        PS: Wait… that’s a hobby and they don’t get paid for lying? That’s even worse than I thought.

          tbh I’m assuming they’re not paid for their ‘reviews’ as their work is a complete joke in which is ridiculed worldwide

          Although I wouldn’t be shocked to hear if someone said that they were being sponsored by republican extremists

        no idea

        Steve from GN and their team re-ran their tests multiple times and cross-verified with 2 other reviewers as they were also in disbelief/sketched out(I’m inferring their reactions here) by the results.

        So at this point it’s hard to say what’s causing the significant performance uplift.

        It could be due to something in the cpu like the relocation of 3D v-cache, the larger cache buffer but unless we see other reviewers provide test details with some differences it’s difficult to say what exactly is causing this beneficial uplift.

        like what was the tech that caused such a leap? They talk about how they switched up the x3D cache configuration - it used to be stacked above the main part of the chip with some sort of insulation in between, but they found a way to remove the insulation and put the 3D cache on the underside of the chip. I’m no expert and i watched the video yesterday, so sorry if that explanation isn’t clear. Effectively, they found a way to bring the 3D cache “closer” to the cores, which shortens the time it takes for the cores to communicate with the cache.

    it’s the new gaming king! Still riding high on my 5800X3D personally, that was a GOAT purchase. I know the AM5 counterparts are beating it out on all the charts, but videos like this highlight how it is still better than the majority of CPUs when it comes to gaming performance.
