Fair enough

9950X3D2 makes some sense as there are quite a lot of games which will be able to load >8 h/w threads. I still don't expect it to end up above 9850X3D though.i have that too.
was just looking it up. looks like they are going up to 12 cores per chiplet. do you think AMD will release X3D (single 3d cache chiplet) and then an X3D2 or is it possible they'll just start putting the 3d cache on any double chiplet cpus?
guess i'll just wait then for the equivalent zen 6 replacement to the 9950X3D/2thanks!!
A 24C CPU with two cache chiplets makes a lot less sense though. A game loading >12 h/w threads in a way which would actually affect average performance is fantasy land stuff right now, and the cache will have to become bigger to accommodate the increase of cores per CCD making the whole thing even more expensive to produce.
Wouldn't be too surprised if the dual cache part will be missing from Zen6 lineup.

Return it and buy a Kryosheet insteadJust missing the cpu now!
9950X3D you served me well!

Is it really better?

Not by maybe a 1-5 degrees, but you don't need to replace it until you replace your CPU.

No. Its a couple of degrees (Celsius) worse. But it lasts longer and can be reused several times.

Zen 6 will cream this thing, don't do it.

Sell and buy it then. Zen 6 X3D is at least a year away.

You will regret spending $1000 on a 2024 architecture CPU the second Nova Lake/Zen6 is revealed. 9950X3D could be a last gen CPU by the end of the year.

If he didn't already have a 9800x3d then sure.

At the RTX 3090 level (on par with 5070) you probably would not notice a difference between a $200 9600X and the 9800X3D in the vast majority of games.
I wouldn't even think about upgrading your CPU till you upgrade that ancient GPU.
My Overclocked 265K + 5070 probably performs better than the 9800X3D + 3090 combo while also using a bit less power...

Would it be more expensive for them to make the 9950X3D2 with dual processors rather than replacing the entire second CCX with cache? I'd be super curious how it would perform but surely they're testing it in the lab for zen 6...

I see you responded right when I edited my post lol. I agree with you though, my old 3090 is what is holding back my system at 4K gaming.

I only have the demo version of 3DMark which doesn't allow me to run Port Royal.Let's see if that's true
There are plenty of benchmarks out there though, surely we can compare in some other benchmark/games...
