Some sites re already publishing their reviews. Mostly Brazilian sites, so I guess they are in a different time zone

I'll update this thread, as more reviews are released.

Brazil YouTube is killing it this month.

Now I see why they were so quick to withdraw the 7800x3d from sale.

Now I see why they were so quick to withdraw the 7800x3d from sale.

They didn't retire the 7800X3D. That was the 5800X3D.
But it's funny that AMD made the 5800X3D and the 7800X3D so good, that now they are having trouble competing with themselves.

 

[Bojji]

Other than that it looks good.

 

[OverHeat]

Better low 1% is great

 

[Big Baller]

So whats the price on this thing

 

[Draugoth]

Man, i just bought the 14900k after 2 years of savings

 

[thuGG_pl]

So whats the price on this thing

$480

AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Review - The Best Gaming Processor

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D establishes AMD as the leader in gaming performance. This Zen 5-based X3D chip is not only fast, it also comes with full support for overclocking. Besides gaming, application performance is considerably improved over the 7800X3D, too, but that comes at a price.

Review: Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor - Totally Zen for PC Gamers

We test and review the processor that gamers have been waiting on, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. Armed with an extra chunk of cache the processor is based on ZEN 5 architecture, yet can be seated on the existing compatible motherboards like X670 and B650 with merely a System BIOS upgrade.

Guess my purchase wasnt so bad. I was planning to upgrade to the 385K anyways next year.

 

[SomeGit]

Wow from the reviews it seems like it only competes with other X3D chips in gaming and other 9000 in productivity, AMD seems to have every segment of the market covered with superior CPUs.

Seems like a fantastic CPU but I think I can stretch my 5800X3D a few more years.

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

Big win for amd

 

[PeteBull]

Independend reviews looking fire, we got new bis cpu product thats gonna last us, pc crowd till end of next console gen(so likely 2036 and if we count in standard 2 years of crossgen products, even till 2038).

 

[thuGG_pl]

So it's roughly what I expected, pretty solid product and definetly worth getting over 7800x3d (at current prices). So I'll be switching when the prices stabilise.

I'll update this thread, as more reviews are released.

Wow, these are actually really promising reviews. 11% faster than the 7800X3D on average is a nice leap. Plus the 9800X3D allows for overclocking (where the 7800X3D did not), so we should see some even more substantial gains there.


Good stuff, especially when the 7800X3D was already the fasting gaming CPU on the market.

There is quite a bit of potential for OC. Especially after delliding.

 

[Bojji]

Better than I expected. Looks like this will be my upgrade (sometime next year).

 

[analog_future]

Awesome! Finally some new hardware that meets/exceeds expectations.

 

[Bojji]

Intel has nothing to compete, their best gaming CPU (14900k) is over 20% slower. Their newest CPU is over 30% slower.

I hope they will figure it out with next generation because AMD will stop being consumer friendly with no competition.

 

[rm082e]

Nice to see it performs well. I'll happily stick with my 5800x3d for a few more years. If you can stomach the price, it's a great choice for people coming from older chips.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

I'll be heading to microcenter tomorrow morning hoping to snag one.

 

[analog_future]

nope

 

[rodrigolfp]

The gains at 4k...

 

[winjer]

The gains at 4k...

Wrong. The gains at 4K will be seen on the 1% lows.
So even at 4k, the 9800X3D will provide the smoothest gameplay, with fewer drops in performance.

 

[OverHeat]

The gains at 4k...

I still want to buy lol fomo is real

Intel could start by having a socket last more than 2 gens.

 

[analog_future]

You aren't going to see gains at 4K when your GPU is bottlenecking the performance. As others have said though, 1% lows are still improved.


That and when the 5090 releases we may see very different 4K results as well.

 

[Bry0]

Looks great. Sticking with my 7800x3d though. From TPU benches it looks like 4090 is still a bottleneck at 4K

 

[winjer]

They did change that. Now it lasts only one gen.

You just gotta get a 5090 to fix that

The fastest and best CPU for gaming. Period.

Intel is nowhere to be seen (with Leonidas ).

 

[LordBritish]

Where can we preorder this or when is it going live?

 

[FStubbs]

So seriously, why is AMD doing so well in CPUs and so poorly in GPUs?

 

[SomeGit]

Oh fuck, I thought I heard that rumor but couldn't remember where, Intel just giving love to all the 2XX buyers.

 

[Ironbunny]

Tomorrow

 

[Esparadrapo]

So seriously, why is AMD doing so well in CPUs and so poorly in GPUs?

Because they put their resources where the money's at. CPU development helps the high margin server market while GPUs are in nowhere land right now. Even AI hardware is diverging from GPUs so they are really an unwanted child right now.

 

[winjer]

Oh fuck, I thought I heard that rumor but couldn't remember where, Intel just giving love to all the 2XX buyers.

Intel cancelled the Arrow Lake refresh and is now only focused on Panther Lake.
Panther Lake will be a redesign from the ground up. Which is good, because Arrow Lake sucks.

Also, in the last investment call, Intel admitted that they won't use MOP for next CPU generations. And that they are re-evaluating continuing making dedicated GPUs.
MoP is integrated memory on the CPU package, for laptops using Arrow Lake.

With the rumours that AMD might buy Intel, it could be that soon enough, Leonidas will be working to promote AMD.

Really impressive stuff even compared to 7800X3D. Really want to see how this fares with DLSS and real world settings.

 

[Celcius]

Day one!

 

[ap_puff]

Oh wow, they actually made it better than Zen 5%. Pretty impressive!

Buy me one, too. I'll pay you back.
