    This CPU is a beast for gaming, never have to worry about cpu bottleneck. I paired mine with an rtx 3080 ti, and Im getting every bit of juice out it. I upgraded from a ryzen 2700x and the difference is huge.

    Great product - Intel got some catch up to do. Lighting fast on games. Runs warm so make sure you get a good AIO.

    Insanely fast cpu for gaming and productivity. I installed this processor into my new gaming build and let me say, it is the fastest processor I’ve ever seen or used in any pc ever. It is a blazing fast at gaming and productivity tasks. I would highly recommend this processor to anyone looking into building a top tier gaming pc. This is the #1 gaming processor in 2025 for a reason.

    Coming from i7 11th gen intel, the difference is huge, you can play the most demanding games in high at 1080p even without a good graphics card, with the 3070 in RDR2 it went up to 100+fps from 50fps. I tried it with MSI Mag x870E. I think is the meta combo right now

    The 9800x3d was the perfect upgrade for a system thst already had am5. The extra cache is well worth it for eliminating stutters in games and overall it had been a smooth experience for me. I would recommend the amd cpu experience any day

    Top notch cpu, I am very satisfied with it’s performance as of 6 months of use. This is the absolute best for gaming. I have no issues in triple monitor, single 4k, or VR gaming. Would recommend to anybody!

    This fast efficient CPU is the centerpiece of my updated build. Was lucky that Best Buy got this in stock just as I was about to pull the trigger on a 7800x3d for a similar price. Now I’ll be able to game knowing I’ll never be CPU bottlenecked!

    Very overkill for gaming, get insane frames on like every game. I mostly play Valorant and CS2, on val and usually dont dip below 500 or so fps with a 4070ti. CS I usually don't drop below 350 fps playing on 1440x1080.

    The goat of all gaming CPUs as of right now. You will never CPU bottleneck with this dude unless you play CS2 at 1080p with a 5090 (why would you do that anyways)

    This thing is incredible. If you are running at 4K and have a more recent CPU, this might not be that big of an upgrade until the 5090 comes out. Anything lower than that, it is completely worth it.
