  4. Please do an update on the 7950 X3D with newest drivers and bios update a year after original testing to measure the difference solely from a software improvement. Thanks so much!

  7. I have 7950x, wanted to upgrade to 7950x3d, but I game in 4K and seeing this now it's barely a "upgrade" 😂 I'll stick to the 7950x. Thank you for this!

  11. You gotta be nuts or a fan boy to go intel. Or unless you like to just sit around doing nothing with computer on then you actually have a case for more efficient argument..

  12. idk why all of you tech channels only test fps for these ? games. well, except CS:GO. Which people do play.
    Where's League of Legends, Apex Legends, Fortnite, etc.?
    I know that these games are not that demanding but, many people spend most of their time in these games. So they are important.
    Personally I am curious about how different hardware affects fps in League of Legends. But there is practically 0 data about it.
    Believe it or not, League players also want more fps and would like to know the value of products for our usecase.

    Sorry for dumping this on you specifically.
    I just checked some reviews for i9 13900KS and youtube recommended your video. And your title says 25 games tested. So it made me curious if League is on the list or not.

    But yeah, the most popular games should be on the testing list.

  14. Yay!

    Saw a few other videos on the same product from other very popular content producers, and I'm convinced some of them watch your videos and copy your points and style before they make their videos. Thanks for the professional and well produced content as always, Ms. Nada 🙂

    You're awesome! 🙂

  17. Just Subbed 😎
    You make the best videos ever. This is the best comparison video ever on last gen cpus. Thank you so much 😍❤
    Love 7950X3D 🔥🔥🔥
    I currently have 5950X. Can't wait to upgrade in near future. Also I'm waiting for 8950X3D 😃Can't wait to see comparisons on that.

  18. Man, I swear none of these reviewers did any benchmark whatsoever!!!… the data is almost copy past and none of it make any sense… so if at 4K we become gpu bound.. how does intel come from behind and beat Ryzen in some of these benchmark! you would think at 4k they will all be identical, but to come from behind and beat Ryzen is really weird ….6 years ago I bought Ryzen because it was a no brainer, While Intel had better IPC, Ryzen offered more cores at cheaper price and that's why I picked ryzen 7 1800x… today the story is different. Intel still has better IPC and single core performance, but now it comes with as many cores, so it should perform better in single and multi-core applications. not to mention intel is cheaper today!!
    Seems like AMD is spending their money on sponsoring YouTube reviewers instead of RND!!!

  19. I can't wait to test this CPU with Cities:Skylines 2 – Colossal Order is promising the game will take full advantage of how many cores you have for the simulation – it will be interesting to see if it favors cache or more cores overall. I intend to give Process Lasso a workout and more than get my monies worth out of it!

  20. Hi yes I’m a stupid kid who knows nothing about computers and I have a question, please help me out: Does power consumption even matter that much? Will it make your electricity bill more expensive or will it just make it so you need a better PSU to run the Intel CPU. If so, how much more expensive will it make the power bill. Thanks.

  21. The fact that you included 4k benchmarks already makes this the best reivew. I get that most people test at 1080p to remove bottlenecks, but most people who buy a 7950x3d or even 7800x3d won't play at 1080p. In the end they will play at 4k and think they will get a huge boost when in reality games perform basicly the same at 4k.
    And for competitive games even a 7700x will do.

  23. Pointleas to test against the 7950x and 13900k, as they are not on the same performance level as the 7950x3d, now the 13900ks is and even if you tweek a few games to make 7950x3d seem better end of the day 13900ks will still be running years to come… the 7950x3d will likely melt inside a year.

  24. It's a pretty amazing comparison for me. I like how there's 1080P to 4K easily compared across-the-board. And then also an in depth look of the power usage and efficiency. A lot of people don't give an F about power, but I would rather have a computer that's way more quiet and not burning up that runs just about as good. No question.

  25. I just got a 7950X3D pc, not for gaming, although I do play games, but because it uses so much less power, so runs cooler, is easier to cool, won't thermal throttle, and means its fans will be that much more quiet.

    I don't care if its a bit slower than the 7950X or Intel in some tasks, its just a few percentage points. I just want a powerful system that doesn't sound like a jumbo jet taking off

    BTW, old pc had a i7-3820!!

  29. This benchmarks numbers are way off. Looking at your numbers for Cyberpunk and WD, tom's hardware and HUB both show completely different results.

  30. I really liked your analysis of the main gaming processors currently available on the computer market. Congratulations on the work done! This channel is one of the best in this type of analysis. Congratulations from Brasil ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

  31. I really like y’all’s reviews. Thanks for bringing up the power consumption. It’s actually the main reason I chose the 7950x3d vs the 13900k. Also, it’s weird how much the ASUS motherboards suck this generation, pretty much across the board. I kind of wish you had used the AORUS motherboard for testing because I’ve seen it make a significant difference in overall benchmarks on other channels. I actually switched from an ROG Strix from my previous build to the AORUS Master. They just did so much better building their hardware & software this time around.

  32. The scam 7800x3d XD the 1% low suck as fuck whitout counting the fact that everybody looks fps ! What a marketing bench’s ! If you want the best of the best pick the 13900ks or the 7700x !

  33. Thank you for doing higher resolution for these chips. Always frustrating to see the bigger techtubers not test higher resolutions, especially for gaming, to get a better idea of how to go about choosing a platform for a long haul situation. I'm torn now because I've always gone intel, but AMD is making me reconsider, especially with the power differential. You got a sub out of me.

  35. Came back to point out that the Linus Tech Tips folks are calling for a re-evaluation of the value in also testing CPUs at higher resolutions, like you've been doing. You're in the avant-garde. 👍🏿

  38. This is a refreshingly good review that is easy to follow. (Not because of the gender of the reviewer) nicely paced, clean visuals, good opinions.

  41. So glad I found this channel and surprised I didn't find it earlier. It's absolutely up there in terms of quality with the pc tech channels that have many millions of subscribers.

  43. A shame to see AMD hasn't made much of a push past intel when it comes to 4k. At that point it seems to come down to what hardware a title favors. But reaching similar performance to the Competition while doing so at Lower power consumption AND heat is damn impressive. I do wonder what the 8000/9000 series has in store for us at this rate. The 5800x3D was an amazing breakthrough and the 7000x3D series has done nothing but refine that. Perhaps the next series will have x3D with default and find a way to iron out any loss in speeds?
