That's a lot of cache…

[Boss Mog]

An ultra high end beast that still manages to have a way lower tdp than the new upper-mid range Intel 270K Plus.

 

[OverHeat]

Nice gift to myself in april!!

 

[Tarnpanzer]

If a Zen6 X3D CPU comes this year this seems a bit too late.

 

[Radical_3d]

You can almost run a PS3 game just on cache memory!

200W... dear god

 

[//DEVIL//]

Shouldn't we be getting the next gen AMD CPUs by the end of this year ? And usually the 3D cache version of that the following year / months ?

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Probably 5% increase in performance (at best) in comparison to 9950X3D. Maybe even less.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

If you're on a 5800x3d or older this is probably a good upgrade but I can't see it for anyone else unless you've got money to burn. My 7800x3d is doing great.

 

[peish]

$999 for sure.

 

[VeganElduderino]

yeah probably around 1000$ canadian shit dollars, ill keep the 9800X3D

 

[The Mad Draklor]

An ultra high end beast that still manages to have a way lower tdp than the new upper-mid range Intel 270K Plus.

And the 9950X3D2 will be sold at a high premium due to the lack of competition at this performance level.

 

[Mengy]

If you're on a 5800x3d or older this is probably a good upgrade but I can't see it for anyone else unless you've got money to burn. My 7800x3d is doing great.

Heck I'm still perfectly happy with my Ryzen 7 3700X.

 

[OverHeat]

yeah probably around 1000$ canadian shit dollars, ill keep the 9800X3D

I can sell my 9950x3d for 800$ so I'm jumping in

 

[winjer]

Heck I'm still perfectly happy with my Ryzen 7 3700X.

2 years ago, I upgraded from a 3700x to a 5800x3D and the difference was enormous.

 

[Gp1]

It has the same TDP as my I7 14700k (with pl2 limited on bios)

INTEL WAS ALWAYS AHEAD I KNEW IT1!!!!!

 

[VeganElduderino]

I can sell my 9950x3d for 800$ so I'm jumping in

so youll pay a extra 300$ with taxes and probably wont be a huge improvement from what you have now!
you go buddy

 

[StereoVsn]

If a Zen6 X3D CPU comes this year this seems a bit too late.

I am guessing it's going to get pushed to 2027 if they are releasing this. Plus X3D chips always release a bit later.

 

[Insane Metal]

LOL they waited for the 270K to announce this one.

 

[Leonidas]

3x the price of 270K for similar MT.

If you're on a 5800x3d or older this is probably a good upgrade but I can't see it for anyone else unless you've got money to burn. My 7800x3d is doing great.

People on 5800X3D probably don't have DDR5 laying around, meaning the upgrade would probably be $1500+ if they want a decent amount of RAM.

"Pricing has not been disclosed yet."

Prepare your anus

This is the big thing.

Beastly performance but I'm fully expecting a $900 price or more, which is honestly batshit insane.

The price to perf is ultimately what's going to matter, if it's a gigantic leap above other CPUs then it's warranted, but if it's only marginally faster than a 9800x3D then its absolutely not worth the money, the x3D CPUs are already poor value as it is.

[RoboFu]

yeah yeah,, we need decent priced gpus. not this.

 

[analog_future]

There will be literally zero gains in gaming for this vs the 9950X3D, FYI. That's not what this is intended for.

 

[Mengy]

2 years ago, I upgraded from a 3700x to a 5800x3D and the difference was enormous.

I was going to build a new PC this year, but then the whole RAM crap happened and now I'm going to wait until prices settle down. I'm not unhappy with my PC but it is five years old now. I'd like a more modern PC but I'm too frugal to pay ransom prices to do it.

 

[deeptech]

Wild, but smells like flop on arrival.

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

hail to the king

 

[LiquidMetal14]

3D VCACHE FOR BOTH CCD's FOLKS

That is the new here. I'm gonna hold strong until Zen 6 is announced and then make a decision.

 

[OverHeat]

I'm going to change my AIO when I get it any suggestion boys?

 

[Fess]

I'm going to change my AIO when I get it any suggestion boys?

Can you fit a triple 140mm fan cooler?
I have a 420 in my living room PC, Arctic Liquid Freezer 3, can tune down fan speeds a ton for silence and it'll still do the job.

 

[Loomy]

I'm going to change my AIO when I get it any suggestion boys?

Does it have to be an AIO?

 

[dgrdsv]

Too late, too much power, not enough gaming performance data but will likely be on par with 9850X3D while costing $900+.
At this point anyone interested might as well wait for a 12C 1CCD Zen6 part with 3D cache. Chances are that this one will be miles better for gaming while not being a furnace.

 

[Wolzard]

LOL they waited for the 270K to announce this one.

Even so, it's going to flop.

In terms of productivity, it will lose to the 270K, mainly due to the price.
In gaming it will be useless, the 9800X3D will be cheaper and have similar performance.

 

[alf717]

Can't wait to pair this with my imaginary sticks of DDR5 RAM!

 

[GreatnessRD]

Nice gift to myself in april!!

I'll take one as well, Dad!

 

[OverHeat]

It's look like it will be 1200$ CAD

 

[winjer]

Can't wait to pair this with my imaginary sticks of DDR5 RAM!

There are already stores giving free CPUs with the purchase of a kit of DDR5.
The market is completely screwed up.

64GB G.SKILL DDR5 kit now comes with FREE Intel Core Ultra 9 285K CPU

 

[twilo99]

Delicious

 

[AGRacing]

Hole-eeee shite.

multiple stacked radiators in honor of the x3d

 

[Unknown Soldier]

That's a lot of cache lol

 

[winjer]

 

[Insane Metal]

Double the cache (and a lot more expensive probably) for that uplift? Should've cancelled this.

The law of diminishing returns.

Will (upgrade) anyways but
Those uplifts suck ass
