> Today we're finally able to show you how AMD's new Ryzen 7 9800X3D performs, and spoiler alert -- it's a real weapon that solves the issues we encountered with the non-3D Zen 5 chips before this. Without question, this is the best CPU released since the 7800X3D, making this launch particularly exciting. [...] For now, the 9800X3D is mighty impressive, the undisputed king of gaming, and it marks a historic milestone. We don't think AMD has ever been this dominant over Intel, certainly not in the last 15 years.

My 7850X3D died... No thanks (Score:1)
Spent 600 dollars on a monster CPU when it was brand spanking new, something I haven't done since the 90's... and the effing thing died in the middle of a game. No overclocking, just dead. Replaced it with a 200 dollar 7600X and undervolt it to 1.2 volts and the fan barely has to turn on. Games play fine as well. It'll be a long time before I hop back onto the bleeding edge.

Wait, your CPU died and you paid money for a replacement despite your description obviously being covered under warranty? Are you stupid or lying?

Definitely makes no sense, the 7850X3D is covered unless he delidded it or something like that. It has a 3 year warranty AND due to some yield fun times, they were giving everyone 7950X3Ds.

I had no faith in that model of CPU. I asked if it could be replaced with a different model and they said no... So I ate the loss. Is that really so hard to understand?

It was outside of warrantee and that pisses me off as well. What makes you think replacing a poorly engineered part with a replacement poorly engineered part is a good idea? That CPU is out of my circle of trust. My $hit is mission critical, I'm not screwing around to beta test for AMD.

Your gaming session is mission critical? Or you're putting a gaming CPU in a server?
You just sound dumber and dumber with every comment.

Yes, effing mission critical. I do my day job on this setup and GASP!! play games too. The 7850X3D is well known as a lemon (discovered after I bought it). Never again.

In all fairness, there were power delivery config issues causing the 7000X3D cpus to burn out. Because the issue at least predominately affected the 7000X3D cpus, it would be understandable that they would opt to move away from them at the time. It sounds like they ultimately didn't need/care about the extra performance in the end.
As an aside, one of the main reasons it was such a problem for them specifically was because the earlier generations had to stack the cache on top of the CCD. It took time to red

Forgive me if my ignorance is showing but 7850x3D? Is that a typo? 7950x3D and 7800x3D I know of but haven't heard of that model...
Just need 1000hz monitors now (Score:2)
1000hz should be just about enough for crt like motion and completely independent refresh regions.
Truthfully AMD is competing with themselves (Score:1)
the 3D cache chips have been so good, unless you are running 1080p at superhigh framerates, a 5800 3xd is still an awesome chip. You still don't really need to upgrade even yet, I will say this 9800 X3D does look like a chip for many years of FAST gaming.
