Instance processing power
Recently upgraded from AM4 to AM5 with intentions on turning my desktop into a workstation. I play a lot of siege, which isn’t entirely CPU intensive, but I noticed an insane increase in FPS from an average of 205 to a whopping 340. Given, I upgraded a lot more but the graphics card remains unchanged. This thing is a power house for all GPUs and you will see an amazing jump in productivity. 7950x3d>7800x3d all day in my opinion!

I picked the 7950x
[Employee of bestbuy] It's a very feature-packed COU but honestly it's execution felt like a bit of a mess next to the 7950x. Sure it's extremely power efficient and it has two sets of CCDs for different frequencies and cache capacities but when this CPU actually runs I personally noticed issues with how it would switch between its dies for different uses. If youdon't mind going the hassle of turning off one or the other CCD for different purposes then you may find value in this processor but practically the 7950x doesn't use that much power unless in productivity use (and even then it's not even much higher than the 5950x's draw) and for me it ran smoother and snappier because it didn't have trouble switching between CCDs. Lastly, the 7950x being $130 cheaper has much more value for its price.

AMD for the win.
Easy to install and I am running everything at Ultimate or extreme settings. Pretty much a 7800x3d with double the cores. If you are only gaming, the latter can save you a little bit of money, but for productivity tasks, the additional cores are worth the investment.

I I bought the CPU cause I could not find the 9800
I bought the CPU cause I could not find a 9800 X 3-D at Best Buy. It’s a very good CPU only I wish the store would get more current products.

Love it.
My build is cased in the nzxt h7 flow, this processor and 4080super have low temps, can play anything i throw at it whether its through SteamVR, call of duty or emulating older consoles. I have used this for deploying dockers and programming tasks without any hangups. If youre looking for a processor that can handle gaming, development and video processing - this one will do it and remain a viable option
