AMD might stumble in graphics department but their CPUs is incredible

 

[analog_future]

Holy shit. AMD bringing it in the CPU space.

Can’t wait for that 9800X3D

 

[OverHeat]

9950x3D here I come!

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Same # of cores + threads, scores 46% higher in cinebench….holy shit. That is very impressive.

 

[kikkis]

That big improvement on same process node kind of sounds like they have fed us shit for years deliberately.

Edir. It might be newer node but still

Only comes for negative AMD anything.

My 7800x3D kicks ass, but I will say that the fans spin up the moment I move my mouse. File Explorer makes more noise than a full game under load with my old CPU (6700k).

[Bojji]

I will wait for 9800x3d on my 5800x3d, it's still fine.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Paired with a 5090, new build here I come

 

[Deft Beck]

I always wait to upgrade my CPU until I can double the Passmark score on my old CPU. Right now, the 7950x/7950x3D fit that mark. But, if this really outperforms it...I may have to wait for it.

 

[OverHeat]

Hell yeah!!!! But not with standard version

Something is wrong there.

Something is wrong there.

Slight exaggeration, but downloading Steam games does get me to 60c with audible fans. I think I’m just spoiled from the 6700k because I don’t think I ever heard the fans on it.

 

[Rentahamster]

Sounds cool if true. Will wait for official benches.

With fast internet steam can kill cpus, much higher usage than in games.

Quick test

Yeah something is wrong.

Considered that, but under full load in CPU intensive games I barely break 80. The high load is OK, it's the medium load, like Steam downloads, that's a little surprising.

 

[MikeM]

Gonna be checking out dat 9800x3d. My 7600x is still plenty of CPU but you know, e-peen and all…

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Amazing

WIth a brand new 3000w psu

 

[Draugoth]

WIth a brand new 3000w psu

You will be fine with a 1000w PSU, energy efficiency increases with each generation

 

[Magic Carpet]

Thats more than double my Intel 13700F.

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

thats sexy

 

[Gaiff]

WIth a brand new 3000w psu

This meme would be funny if those parts weren’t so energy-efficient but they are, so it’s just tiresome and dumb.

 

[Buggy Loop]

I was asking this the other day on reddit

At this point. why would anyone not wait for x3D variants? Imagine 9800x3D

None gamers

 

[diffusionx]

I might build a Zen 5 (I'm an X3D-Chad) and 5xxx computer, depending on my lot in life when they come out

 

[Diddy X]

I heard it's gonna need a new am5+ motherboard.

Another 800-1000$ down the drain hahahaha

Could it be your SSD heating up? Gigabit internet combined withlightspeed NVME.

 

[KuraiShidosha]

This. Need to sell my 7950x3D setup ASAP and sit on my old parts until this releases. Can't wait.

 

[jimmypython]

I am waiting for sure now haha

 

[Dorfdad]

what's the expected release date for the x3d variant? I dont need to upgrade but ILL BE DAMNED IF I LEFT YOU GUYS OUTDO ME!!!

 

[OverHeat]

Probably Q1 next year

 

[SolidQ]

Zen5 is on 3nm

Turin 3nm, Granite Ridge is 4np

what's the expected release date for the x3d variant?

Q1 2025

 

[Sanepar]

Yeah then in games will be 5% fast like always...

Possibly not faster at all since we’ll be GPU-limited anyway. Will be good for those on older systems though.

 

[HL3.exe]

Sounds good. I'm more interested in the single threaded performance as that is way more relevant for games.

For those unaware: yes games are multi threaded these days, but the main game-logic thread is still single threaded because of determistic reasons (physics, ai, animation, systemic-simulation, needing to be interlinked and dependent on each other without fault). Multi threaded is for mostly offloading asynchronous non-game-logic stuff (visuals mostly). So single-threaded IPC are still incredibly important for actual performance gains within games.

I am thinking about Steam Deck 2 powered by Zen 5 derivative and RDNA4 and I can hardly wait . If they do not go insane with the screen resolution, would be a bad mistake, you could have PS5++ visuals on the go .

 

[Garibaldi]

Paired with a 5090, new build here I come

I'm debating on gutting my 5950x and 3090 to do the same. Might wait till 2025 though as she currently still purrs for work and gaming loads.

[winjer]

Yeah something is wrong.

It's not. While downloading files, Steam decompresses a ton of data, because games are stored compressed in their servers to save space and bandwidth.
And if someone has a fast internet connection, it means the CPU will always have work to do, decompressing files.
And of course, a 7800X3D, has double the cores of a 6700K. Has higher clock speeds, higher TDP. So the CPU can heat up a bit during Steam downloads.
Still, 60ºC is nothing special for modern CPUs and no reason to worry about.

Can anyone who owns an amd zen rig tell the different issues between Intel and amd? Cause I'm hesitant to switch to amd.

Damn I hope I gather enough savings by middle age to splurge on tech like this. There's hardly anything that really pushes the 4090/7950x3d outside bad ports etc.

If your GPU isn't sweating your monitor's resolution isn't high enough *laughs in 7680x2160

Doesn't that guy/gal criticise AMD's graphics card line? In which case he's right you want the best you buy Nvidia.
