    The fastest gaming CPU I have seen. Upgrade from the 7800X3d and saw on average about 10% increase over the 7800X3D. Also productivity gains, around 10-18%.

    I upgraded to the 9800x3d and it is well worth it for 1440p gaming if you play games like call of duty or Fortnite. Especially e sports titles as well, being able to overclock it is also amazing.

    BEST GAMING CPU MONEY CAN BUY

    This is the best gaming CPU I think money can buy. It handles editing, gaming, and anything I want to run with extreme ease, also easily tuned in the AMD app. This is the top of the line gaming CPU and it lives up to the hype. Also easy to install, a little scary to click in moving to AM5 from AM4, but works extremely well.

    Best CPU I've ever had. I stream, and play games, and the processor runs smooth as butter despite the load I run when streaming. Cannot recommend enough. And I used to be an intel girlie.

    Upgraded from the 7800X3D, which is very small gain in performance but a gain is a gain. Very happy with it and I'm happy to see AMD keeps being innovated.

    Definitely more gaming power than my i9 13900k (not as much but still a gain) ive seen other videos on how some get more or better performance out of them but thats just the luck of a silicon lottery. Great cpu for gaming.
