  1. Can someone help me please. I am building my first PC and i don’t know wich cpu i should buy to pair with my rtx 3090 to get the most out of them for 1440p gaming without bottlenecks.

  2. Didnt you know of you disable half cores that gaming performance goes up to the 7800x3d
    I think it has something to do with using more cores with the 3d vcache
    I heard this from zwormz gaming

  3. when you say productivity ,does video editing, programming, matter? 7800x3d enough for those tasks? Nice video btw very clear. I'll pair one of these CPU's with a 4080 super but i'll be gaming and video editing in da vinci resolve and also coding

  4. Good video quality overall and I like your production, however I am just not sure about the gaming tests. I highly doubt people spending 7950x3D money are gaming at 1080p, I would be interested to see the same tests in 1440p or 4k…. I run a normal 7950 and 4090 with a Samsung Neo G9 and love it, I watched your video because I am trying to decide if the 7950x3D is worth swapping over to. If I was building new, I think the 7800x3D and a 4080 would be the sweet spot for midhigh tier builds, and would go with 5800x3D and whatever GPU budget would permit.

  5. The 7950X3D does exactly what it is supposed to do, and outperforms the 7800X3D slightly in games, and vastly in productivity. The fail here is that the things is much more complex, requiring users to know about OS schedulers. And upon initial release, MS Game Bar was not working very well, so cores weren't getting "parked". Which is a bad design. Gaming while running other software is very common. I've heard Game Bar is working better now, but a more optimal scheduler like Process Lasso with CPU Sets would be best. Of course your average user probably isn't going to do that. So the issue is that it actually can perform as best-in-class but not with the crappy MS designed scheduler. Perhaps simply too complex a CPU for most, but not accurate to say it doesn't outperform the 7800X3D in all areas when set up right. So if you want to grab Process Lasso and set it up, get one and set it up with something that far outclasses Game Bar, or hope Game Bar updates have made things better by now ( I have no idea, I use Lasso). Or just get the 7800X3D if you primarily game or 14900K if you primarily are productivity apps or if you are split down the middle, so you can be lazy and not need to rely on a better scheduler / MS app like Game Bar. Sorry… that's a lot, but accurate.

  6. For pure gaming the 7800X3D is great, silent and easy to keep cool, but if you want a more flexible setup go with the 14900K as it delivers in games and all applications, including single core tasks, emulation and AI. Power consumption in idle and low workload is also better, so if you surf or do light office work on the system a lot, you may even save money compared to AMD. Task scheduling is much better on a 14900k than on the 7950X3D, so Intel saves you a lot of headaches. There are a few games that also have problems with E-Cores and could profit from something like Process Lasso, but you don't need it all the time to get the best performance.

  7. I will keep my 5950x built for productivity and replace my gaming built 5800x with the 7800x3D in a year. I almost only play cs2,, so it’s a no brainier. Ty for the video.

  8. I would love to see the difference in streaming on both chips while gaming. What fps is lost on both average and 1% lows. Never seen anyone do that yet. But I bet so many people would watch

  9. This is a bad one sided gaming test for these CPUs, these CPU's are being tested at max settings in game and the rtx4090 is bottle necking both CPU's here. For competitive gaming, you want to turn the settings down to low with all eye candy settings off, here you will see the 7950x3D will get much higher FPS in most all games than the 7800x3D because of the much higher 700mhz clock speed and bigger cache size. Bottle necking CPU's with GPU's because of max graphics settings is not how you fully compare test bench CPU's properly. If you simply remove the GPU from the equation, the 7950x3D is much faster than the 7800x3D in gaming.

  10. 1:15 of course the 7800 running half the # of cores as the 7950 uses a lot less power.
    To be useful, this should've benched the cache-local ccd cores vs the higher clock cores, along side the 7800 results, then the all cores vs the 7800.

  11. This is why 13900k is still better. Because you don't deal with all the drawbacks of reducing cores for gaming and productivity.
    7950x3D should have had 16 cache cores, and it would steamroll Intel 13th and 14th gen. But AMD is not playing this card, it will cancel most of 7800x3D sales

  12. See the thing is though if you put these GAMING cpus side by side with an exact same setup, the 7800X3D performs the same if not even better in some games… (in fps)
