    and before too long the 5700x3d will be an even cheaper upgrade for those still on am4

    I think the 7800/7950X3D is a big leap from the 5800X3D. 2700x to 7800X3D probably feels like a console generation jump.

      yeah the 7000 series 3d chips are easily a multi gen equivalent upgrade over the 5000 3d chips, and i say this as a 5800x3d owner. unleashing the full power of extra cache and the full ipc of these chips is jsut awesome. hopefully next 3d chips have even more cache.

      2700x to 7800X3D probably feels like a console generation jump.

      probably more than that honestly.

        I had the 8700k from those times till this year and it was a mind blowingly significant upgrade. A lot of vr titles were unplayable for me because of steamvr overhead(it’s really crap when you use non valve headsets). F1 23 went from a stutter fest to locked 90.

        Although in case of f1, the devs were at fault too because the game is broken with extreme stutter unless you can lock to the refresh rate

      Yeah but 2700X to 5800X(3D) can be done on the same motherboard with the same RAM!

      The incremental cost of the 7xxx series is a lot larger.

        The incremental cost of the 7xxx series is a lot larger.

        the incremental cost of not buying RAM now while it’s cheap is going to be a lot larger too.

        how long do you really want to be using that shitty 2018-era 16GB kit? are you comfortable riding it for another 2-3 years until RAM prices finally come down again?

        people are about to learn a hard lesson about buying things when they are cheap. RAM prices in 2017 were triple what they were in 2016 (and not shitty kits either, by that point it was 3000C15/3200C16 kinda stuff).

    I went from the i5 10400f, and it still felt like a console gen bump up. I have it paired with the Rx 7900 xtx rn and it’s amazing!

      5800x3d has issues with usb drops out and 7800x3d has issues with stability. neither are worth their headaches.

        I’m not sure the 5800x3d itself is really to blame… I had big usb problems with mine (and a 3900X) on one upper-mid-range x470 board, but when I upgraded to a top-end x570 mobo, my usb issues went away. Yeah, a somewhat pricy solution, though I got it for a decent sale price at least. (Oddly the 3900X on that x470 mobo has been running with few to no problems as a secondary Linux machine.)

    Is there a reason why the 7800X3D beats the 7950X3D when it’s meant to be clocked lower? Is it a scheduling issue or something where the wrong cores are used? If CCX1 was disabled would the 7950X3D then become consistently better?

      Is it a scheduling issue or something

      Yes. Hence the Intel’s release of a scheduling driver for 14th gen.

    outside of a few games, my 2700 holds up well. Too bad it’s effin slow with TrueNAS.
